Why Spurs Could Lose Son Heung Min For 22 Months Unless He Wins Asian Games Gold

Conscription in the country has existed since 1957 and requires men between the ages of 18 and 35 to spend two years performing compulsory military service. However, there are ways Son can find himself exempted from service. Usually, in South Korea, only those with a disability or “mental incompetence” are exempted. But athletes who win a gold medal in either the Olympics or the Asian Games are allowed to forego their duty and are merely required to attend a few days of military training per year....

Why Starfield S Main Quest Could Be Bethesda S Biggest Challenge

While Bethesda’s storytelling is one of the studio’s weaknesses, it’s also part of an important trade-off. Bethesda RPGs tend to flounder when they try to tell the sort of cinematic story better left to other studios. There have already been hints that Starfield may be attempting to tell a more ambitious main story than previous Bethesda games. Here’s why that ambition could be the game’s biggest challenge, and why Starfield’s story shouldn’t get in the way of its world....

Why The Biden Administration Wants To Hand Out Safe Smoking Kits

A number of conservative news outlets reported that the administration would fund the distribution of crack pipes for drug users as part of a push to advance racial equality. “They were never part of the kit.

Safe smoking kits are one piece of equipment on a list of 20 items the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) outlined on the grant application for its harm reduction program....

Why The Iphone 14 Other Phones Have Satellite Connectivity

So, why would you want satellite connectivity in a smartphone and is it something you should look for when next upgrading? What is satellite connectivity? Normal mobile communications are handled by signals sent and received via cell-towers. The problem with these is that you have to be within a certain range of the tower for your signal to be strong enough to use for calls, messages and data. That’s why you have signal bars on your phone’s status bar, indicating how strong or weak the signal is....

Many of the studio’s other works also feature fictional characters from the late Victorian era. Frogwares has made two adaptations of works by H.G.

Why The Star Wars Movies Translate So Well To Lego Games

The first LEGO Star Wars game was released in 2005 among the other amount of massive merchandise releases tailgating from the release of Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith.

Why This Is Not A Drill

This is not hyperventilation. The media aren’t trying to scare up ratings and the politicians aren’t creating bogeymen to increase defense spending; if anything, the threat posed by chemical, biological and, to a lesser extent, nuclear weapons has been badly underplayed. Our imaginations are running behind the technology, and our anxieties behind the reality of what should make us afraid. It was hard not to feel some sympathy for George Bush last week....

Why Todd Bowles Was Hand Picked To Replace Bruce Arians As Buccaneers Coach Instead Of Byron Leftwich

Bruce Arians’ sudden, surprising decision to step away from the Buccaneers head-coaching job and accepting a front office position left fans very briefly wondering who may be next head coach. That question was answered quickly, with Todd Bowles getting the nod as the team’s next head coach at Arians’ request. Arians and Bowles have history: The two served on the same Browns staff between 2001 and 2003, with Bowles landing in Arizona as the then-Cardinals head coach’s hand-picked defensive coordinator in 2013....

Why Twitch Streamers Like Amouranth Are Getting Banned From Just Dance

Amouranth was one of the Twitch streamers affected by the Just Dance bans, and she tweeted out at the developer Ubisoft to resolve the issue. Normally, Amouranth is involved in Twitch bans because of sexually explicit content that crosses the lines of the site’s Terms of Service. But in this instance, when she was banned by Just Dance itself, it was not because of risque content from her or any other streamers but rather because of a hacking incident....

Why Kofi Kingston Vs Randy Orton For The Wwe Championship Needs To Happen

That person is Randy Orton. Yes, in the year of 2019, I don’t think there are many fans clamoring for “The Viper” to be in a program for the WWE Championship, which he hasn’t been in since his feud two years ago with Jinder Mahal. And, if recent house show reports are any indication, Orton might be the one to “knock on” Aleister Black’s door. If that feud is to happen, then it would be a great opportunity to present Black as a top player....

Why Lakers Are Hopeful Russell Westbrook Can Space Floor For Lebron James Anthony Davis As Corner 3 Point Shooter

But the truth is that the Lakers are only sending out these messages because they may be stuck with Westbrook for (at least) the start of the 2022-23 season. They aren’t particularly close to acquiring Kyrie Irving, Buddy Hield or any other perimeter player who would be a better fit alongside James and Davis. MORE: Should the Lakers send Westbrook to the bench? At this point, Los Angeles must attempt to work with Westbrook and adjust his role in order to avoid another disastrous campaign....

Why Lions Dan Campbell Is Picking Up Steam As The Nfl S Preseason Coach Of The Year Candidate

One of the most popular early bets has, somewhat surprisingly, been the Lions’ Dan Campbell for Coach of the Year. Campbell is entering his second seasons with the Lions, who finished last year 3-13-1 with a roster that had holes all over the place. The Lions picked second in the draft this year, selecting Aidan Hutchinson before trading back into the top 15 to grab wide receiver Jameson Williams....

The star of Shark Tank appeared on CNBC by phone Wednesday to say he’s investing up to 1.5 percent of his available cash into stocks on each day markets go lower, which has been the case most days in the past month due to the coronavirus emergency. While Cuban has mostly been plowing money into an exchange-traded fund that tracks the S&P 500 — an index of 500 of the largest companies listed in the U....

Why Marvel S Midnight Suns Fans May Still Have Hope For Moon Knight Dlc

Moon Knight did not end up appearing in Marvel’s Midnight Suns’ playable roster, but he was not omitted from the game completely. Marvel’s Midnight Suns features collectible tarot cards with many iconic Marvel characters depicted on them as fun Easter eggs, and Moon Knight is depicted on one of them. This seems like an innocuous nod to the character exclusively until fans find tarot cards depicting Storm and Deadpool, who are indeed prepped to be DLC characters....

Why Men Need Family Values

The erosion of marriage and fathering, he says, helps cause low incomes, unhappiness and even crime among men. Usually, the argument runs just the other way. Men’s low incomes, selfishness and crime are cited as causes of family breakdown and single parenthood. Some men are less attractive as husbands, being poor earners and unreliable partners. Qualifying popular wisdom, Popenoe says that “family life is a considerable civilizing force for men”–and, therefore, its absence can be crippling....
