France have been impressive at Euro 2020 but were held to a disappointing draw by a resilient Hungary side in their previous game. Les Bleus are one of the favourites to win the tournament and will need to prove their mettle in this fixture. Portugal, on the other hand, started their Euro 2020 campaign with a comprehensive victory over Hungary. The Portuguese went on to suffer a 4-2 defeat at the hands of Germany, however, and cannot afford a similar result in this game....

Scheduled to begin at the end of the month, the 2020 college football season appears increasingly unlikely to be played in the fall. For some conferences, in fact, it may not be played at all. On Saturday, the Mid-American became the first FBS Conference to postpone football until the spring of 2021, while commissioners from the Power 5 conferences—the Atlantic Coast Conference, Big 12, Pac-12, Big Ten and the Southeastern Conference (SEC)—held an emergency meeting the following day night to determine the fate of the upcoming college football season....

The political fight over liability protections for businesses, schools and hospitals that operate amid the coronavirus pandemic escalated Tuesday, with 21 Republican governors throwing their support behind the demand from GOP congressional leaders that the legal safeguards be included in a forthcoming economic stimulus bill. The safeguards shield those entities from civil lawsuits, Republicans have argued, and that it is a crucial step for reopening the country. “To accelerate reopening our economies as quickly and as safely as possible, we must allow citizens to get back to their livelihoods and make a living for their families without the threat of frivolous lawsuits,” the GOP governors wrote to congressional leaders....

Hideo Kojima and his development team are not strangers to having the titles of their games being abbreviated. The Metal Gear Solid franchise has been colloquially referred to as “MGS” for almost as long as the games have existed. What makes the use of DS2 so surprising, though, is that it is not a colloquialism by fans to abbreviate a long-winded game title. It is a branding decision. When Kojima Productions decided to announce its game under the title DS2, it meant that it had taken the time to consider what the title change should convey to fans....

Peltola triumphed in an election conducted using Alaska’s new ranked choice voting system that allows voters to rank their preferred candidates. Republican candidate Nick Begich III came in third of the three candidates and after his voters’ second preferences were counted, Peltola emerged victorious. Though Alaska’s system is unusual and was approved by voters only in 2020, the result will be seen as a good sign for Democrats heading into crucial midterm elections in November....

Let me use MTN Nigeria (a mobile network provider in Nigeria) as example. I will use two numbers as examples: local = 0-803-5002249 international = +234-803-5002249 local = 0-706-0552680 international = +234-706-0552680 Now on these two numbers, they have “country mobile dial code” which are “0” for local and “+234” for international. They have the next 3 digits numbers which are “803” and “706” respectively. And the next 7 digits numbers which are “5002249” and “0552680” respectively....

Beighton, upon his resignation, pointed out how much the brand has grown under his supervision. He said that when he joined the company, it had annual sales of £220 million with only 200 employees, while upon his leaving, stated: With the farewell of its former CEO, the brand is considering who will be the successor of the position and former executive of Farfetch, Andrew Robb, is in the running....

Some people are also just sticklers for grammar. If she sent you a message and then realized her mistake, she might be too much of a perfectionist to leave it alone. For instance, maybe you two are flirting with each other and she sent something like, “I’d never hang out with your ugly mug. ” On its own, that can sound a little mean—but adding a winky face or a heart eyes emoji will show you that she’s just messing around....

It was always a safe bet to pencil Tom Brady into the AFC Championship Game with New England, and the same appears to be so in the NFC with his new Buccaneers squad. While Brady may no longer be the lead force of a championship-winning team, the Buccaneers defense is quickly emerging as one of the best to carry the load. Tampa’s defense ranks second in interceptions (8) and fourth in percentage of drives ending in a touchdown (28....

Ohio State, Wisconsin and Penn State are each 6-0 and ranked in the top seven, but there’s likely only room for one of them in the College Football Playoff. That makes the No. 7 Nittany Lions’ Week 8 home game against No. 16 Michigan crucial not only for calculating the relative strength of the Big Ten teams but for the college football landscape as a whole. MORE: Full betting preview for Michigan vs....

The Wildcats finally got their first win in Week 3, and it was a big shocker as they rolled 39-9 over the previously undefeated DC Defenders. The big key for LA’s offense was quarterback Josh Johnson, who finally looked healthy as he completed 18 of 25 passes for 278 yards and three touchdowns. Even bigger than Johnson’s performance was the Wildcats’ defense, which shut down MVP candidate Cardale Jones, holding the Ohio State product to 13-of-26 passing for just 103 yards, no touchdowns and four ​interceptions....

Unfortunately this is a preseason game, and if either quarterback does indeed see the field, it will likely only be for a series or two. For the third season in a row, the two teams spent the week prior to their preseason game sharing the practice field, this year at Chargers’ facilities in Costa Mesa, California. One of the biggest things to watch from a Saints perspective will be the development of the man responsible for snapping the ball to Brees this season — center Erik McCoy....

Duggar parents Jim Bob and Michelle have raised their children in an environment that seemed to shield younger children from learning much about sex, with modesty central to their teachings. Tight parental control and family hierarchy are also key, with children expected to instantly “obey” their parents, according to Religion Dispatches. Husbands are also considered to be “the authority” over their wives. A strict dress code is enforced for children....

Because videos take up so much space, and because bandwidth is limited, video compression is used to reduce the size of the file. Compression involves packing the file’s information into a smaller space. This works through two different kinds of compression: lossy and lossless. Lossy Compression Formats Lossy compression means that the compressed file has less data in it than the original file. Images and sounds that repeat throughout the video might be removed to effectively cut out parts of the video that are seen as unneeded....

Sanjeev Jain, MD, PhD, board-certified allergist and immunologist at Columbia Allergy, tells Verywell that vaccine effectiveness refers to the proportionate reduction in cases among participants that have been vaccinated during a clinical trial. It’s measured by calculating the risk of disease among vaccinated and unvaccinated people, and then determining how the disease reduction risk percentage compares among the two groups. “The formula for this calculation is risk of contracting illness among unvaccinated (placebo) group minus the risk among vaccinated group, over the risk among unvaccinated groups,” Jain says....
