It’s not officially available in the UK, where the company is mostly focussing on budget phones and those few devices it can sell that still have Google support baked in. But if you don’t mind importing the handset – not to mention a life without the Big G – then there’s a lot to like here, especially in the powerful camera setup. Design & build Honor has – mostly – avoided anything outlandish with the design of the Honor 30 Pro+, which fits comfortably into the lineup of 2020 premium flagship phones....

Hirscher failed to find his rhythm on a course set by his own coach, Michael Pircher, and eventually missed a gate. The 28-year-old had already won the men’s alpine combined and giant slalom, his first individual Olympic titles after having dominated the World Cup for the last six years. He was aiming to become only the fourth skier in history to win a third gold medal at a single Olympics, joining Austria’s Toni Sailer (1956), Frenchman Jean-Claude Killy and Croatia’s Janica Kostelic (2002)....

For years, non-white actors and activists have demanded better representation in television and film. Those pushing for change argue that far too often, white actors are cast to play Latinos.

Plastic Surgery Began With Skin Grafts in Ancient India Physicians in ancient India used skin grafts for reconstructive surgery as early as 800 B.C. Later, in European countries, plastic surgery advances were slow in coming. However, eastern medicine took more readily to plastic surgery, and there are many recorded incidents of skin grafts and reconstructive surgery throughout history in that part of the world. Overall progress in plastic surgery, like most of medicine, was slow over the next few thousand years, as techniques used in India were introduced to the West and then subsequently refined and adapted for new applications....

Most everybody in the prediction business expected Philadelphia’s other rebuilding pro sports franchise (hi, Sixers) to have a better shot at losing 100 games than contending for a playoff spot this year. MORE: MLB Draft: Phillies on the clock, with plenty of options at No. 1 But here we are, with just a few days left in May, and only five NL teams have more wins than Philadelphia’s 26. And, though it’s obviously way too early to think about playoff positioning, it’s OK to mention that 26-21 record puts the Phillies only a game-and-a-half out of a wild-card spot entering play on Friday....

Realistically, going gold is a symbolic milestone. Players on PC aren’t particularly affected by this, and a large chunk of console players who decide to purchase digitally will be equally unmoved by the knowledge that physical discs are going to start floating around the world. The Hitman 2 dev team will continue working on the game, despite it going gold. Work from this point forward will, presumably, be put into a day one patch to fix any bugs that are lingering in the physical copies of the game....

India’s past performances in the tournament have been disappointing and except for a third place finish in the 1982 edition, India doesn’t have much to boast about in terms of their performance in the tournament that was first staged in Lahore, Pakistan 1978.

The philosophes of Tinseltown immediately noted the logical fallacy in honoring almost every significant aspect of a film while passing up the most significant aspect-the director. And when the director is a woman in a male-dominated industry, cries and murmurs of sexism were bound to be heard. Producer Lynda Obst, whose movie “The Fisher King” got five nominations, said, “When you’re celebrating a woman behind the camera, that’s a woman in power, and people are still very uncomfortable with that....
