’ War And Peace, ’ Leo Tolstoy, October : The coincidence of two new translations was more than we could ignore. Andrew Bromfield has translated—for the first time in English—the original 1866 version of Tolstoy’s novel, which the author later rewrote at least twice. The celebrated husband-and-wife team of Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky have translated the 1868 edition, a much longer, more complex version in which Tolstoy inserted all manner of philosophical and historical digressions and radically reworked important characters and plotlines....
La Boheme Long before Hollywood ever heard of Baz Luhrmann, he was a famous opera director in Australia. Now the man who created “Moulin Rouge” brings his “La Boheme” to the New York stage. This is no dumbed-down Broadway production–Luhrmann resets the opera in 1957 Paris, but Puccini’s music will be sung in its original Italian (with English super-titles). Given Luhrmann’s spectacular visual panache, his “Boheme” won’t need much translation....
Few games have been leaning into the spirit of the season quite like Fall Guys. Season 3 of Fall Guys, which started last week, is completely winter-themed and has added several new icy-themed stages and festive costumes to the goofy platformer battle royale. Given all that, it’s no surprise that Devolver Digital and Mediatonic have decided to take things a step further with Christmas just four days away. RELATED: Pokemon GO Offering Multiple Bonuses During 2020 Holiday Event...
With Valentine’s Day finally here this weekend, Mediatonic released a new trailer for Fall Guys showing off another special limited time event. The brief 30 second video shows a person playing the game when the doorbell unexpectedly rings. In a riff on the popular movie Love Actually, the person opens the door to find the Fall Guys bean character holding a number of cards, flipping through them one by one showing the words I Love You written in different languages....
It is in this sense that the budget debate is “historic”–and not because the Republican plan to balance the budget would restore an earlier era of smaller government. Even if that budget were adopted in full (and it won’t be), spending in 2002 would exceed 18 percent of the nation’s income (gross domestic product), only slightly less than the 21.7 percent it’s consuming in 1995. In 1929 it was 3 percent....
BPS, a district that serves about 34,000 students in New York’s second-largest city, also drew attention last year for its introduction of Black Lives Matter (BLM) curriculum. Schools across the U.S. have implemented similar content into their lessons since 2016, seeking to establish more robust material around racial justice, African American history and structural racism. The curriculum has received pushback from the right along with accusations that its teachings are “anti-white” and inappropriate for school....
Unfortunately, there are still many Grand Theft Auto fans who have not played the game yet, as it was exclusively released for PlayStation 2 and PlayStation Portable back in 2006, and since then it has not been released for any other platform. This is especially strange considering that Grand Theft Auto Liberty City Stories is another spin-off game from the Grand Theft Auto series which was ported for mobiles in 2015 and 2016....
On Tuesday, he announced Dr. Rachel Levine, Pennsylvania’s current secretary of health who has been helping lead the state’s response to coronavirus, as his pick. If confirmed, Levine would be the first transgender federal official. Over the past year, Levine has garnered criticism, along with Pennsylvania Governor Tom Wolf, regarding the state’s response to the pandemic due to the high amount of coronavirus-related nursing home deaths. The criticism, which has reignited after she has been named Biden’s pick, has come from a few Republican leaders, including Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga....

The Facts The Twitter account, Rogue WH Snr Advisor, known by @roguesnradvisor, claims to be from a member of the Trump administration.

In some cases, this results in vaccine hesitancy—an unwillingness to receive a COVID vaccine because of distrust or fear. Some conspiracy theorists allege that governments, or maybe Bill Gates, are using vaccines as a way to inject people with microchips. So when claims emerged that the U.S. had built a COVID-sensing microchip that could be injected into the body, it attracted attention. The Claim Some prominent Twitter users complained about the alleged chip’s invasiveness and linked it to conspiracy theories....
Tampa Mayor Jane Castor issued an executive order before the Super Bowl saying masks must be worn outside while in “event zones,” such as downtown, in and around the stadium, and at other tourist hotspots until February 13. The order also said those not wearing masks could be cited for a “normal civil infraction” that carries a $500 fine. While the city of Tampa and Hillsborough County have their own mask requirements in place, Republican Governor Rick DeSantis issued an executive order in September stating that people could not be fined for not wearing a mask in Florida....

It’s predicted that Republicans will be unlikely to agree to Democrats’ terms, and some are already taking to social media to voice their gripes with the proposal. The Claim Congress is busy drafting its own version of Biden’s American Rescue Plan, which seeks to devote $1.9 trillion to COVID-19 rescue and recovery via the budget reconciliation process. Divided into three parts, the plan appropriates money toward dealing with the coronavirus, relief for citizens, and relief for states and businesses....
In a nationally televised address last month, Putin said Russia—in the interest of self-defense—would “make use of all weapon systems available to us,” up to and including nuclear weapons. “The citizens of Russia can rest assured that the territorial integrity of our Motherland, our independence and freedom will be defended—I repeat—by all the systems available to us,” he said. “Those who are using nuclear blackmail against us should know that the wind rose can turn around....
The agency has been responsible for some of the greatest achievements in the history of space exploration and astronomy.
