The Garden of Remembrance, which commemorates the millions of Jews killed during World War II, was targeted ahead of the solemn day of atonement for members of the Jewish faith. Westchester County Police said they were investigating the incident. “We are enraged by this act and heartbroken that individuals would target members of our community on the most solemn day in their tradition,” Westchester County Executive George Latimer said in a written statement....

Phillips says the Grail was sent to Britain for safekeeping in the fifth century, when the barbarians sacked Rome. Taken to the Roman-built city of Viroconium, sometimes identified as the site of King Arthur’s Camelot, the relic passed into the hands of Welsh rulers whose descendants kept it as an heirloom long after they had forgotten its story. One member of the family stashed it inside a statue in the 1850s: a descendant found it there in 1920 after decoding a snippet of verse....

Revealing data was presented as part of a survey of over 10,000 Kroger employees called “Hungry at the Table,” conducted this past summer and published January 11 by Economic Roundtable. The survey, labeled by its authors as the “largest independent survey of retail workers that has ever been conducted in the United States,” was conducted at the request of United Food and Commercial Workers locals 7, 21, 324, and 770 “to provide reliable, evidence-based analysis about the working and living conditions of Kroger workers....

While Jared Pierson and his friend panhandled at a Publix in Palm Harbor — north of St. Petersburg — he heard a crash, initially thinking it was only a fender bender, the Tampa Bay Times reported. But when he saw flames at the Circle K gas station across the street, he ran to the scene and called 911. Once there, he noticed a 14-year-old girl and an 11-year-old boy trying to put out the fire with extinguishers while a woman pulled them away from the fire, the newspaper reported....

PGA National is a medium-length, 7,150-yard, Par-70 layout that features dozens of water hazards, out of bounds, and general score-card wreckers on almost every hole. This is one of the premier courses for grinders, and the winning score should be around the -8 to -10 range. PGA DFS: Lineup Builder | How to win The past few events from Riviera to Chapultepec have really favored the long hitters, but PGA National is a distinctly different style of layout, with many holes causing players to club down off the tee to avoid missing the fairway and ending up in the course’s thick Bermuda rough....

All eyes will be on the ones, who are aiming to grab a coveted spot at the World Superseries Finals that is scheduled to be held in Dubai from December 13. Former Superseries Finals runner-up Saina Nehwal and the reigning US Open champion HS Prannoy are still in contention in their respective categories, albeit their chances look very slim as of now. 2010 Hong Kong Open champion Nehwal begins her campaign against the 44th ranked Mette Poulsen....

As the first wave of Gen-Y kids graduate from college, the race is on to sell them their first cars. And taking the lead are the carmakers their parents first fell in love with when they were that age–Honda and Toyota. They’re laying down big bets on new models aimed at young drivers–$200 million for Honda and more than $1 billion for Toyota–in hopes of making a lifetime connection with a new generation....

Chinese teen wonder Guan Tianlang was at the center of a drama at the Masters on Friday when he was hit with a one-stroke penalty for slow play on the penultimate hole of his second round. The penalty brought the 14-year-old schoolboy in at four-over par 148, endangering his chances of making the cut and playing in the final two rounds at the weekend. The 14-year-old amateur from Guangzhou became the youngest player in the history of the Masters on Thursday when he carded a one-over 73 that included four birdies and five bogeys....

Maybe it’s just Billy Hamilton stealing bases at will, or maybe it’s the Royals picking up where they left off last year by sending anyone and everyone when they get the chance, but it seems like teams are running more in the early going this year. As is the case with a lot of anecdotal claims, that’s not entirely correct. Through the first Thursday of the season, players are 50-for-65 on stolen bases in 46 games....

There are two methods that Hitman 3 players can utilize to obtain a gold bar in Dubai allowing them to attempt the “cashing out” challenge. The first method that players can use to obtain a gold brick is by replanning the mission with a lock pick in their inventory as a gadget item.

While Hitman 3 was already announced at the PlayStation 5 reveal event back in June, the game was only announced for the PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X, Xbox One and of course the PC. News of the game being brought to the Nintendo Switch seemed unlikely given the Switch being less powerful than its Sony and Microsoft counterparts, but as with the reveal of Control also coming to the Switch, Hitman 3 is a cloud-based version of the game....

While recent advances in treatment have dramatically improved life expectancy for people with HIV, living with such a serious condition can still have a major impact on emotional health and well-being. Research shows that people with HIV are more likely to experience anxiety, depression, and other mental health conditions compared to the general population. In addition to the psychological stress from an HIV diagnosis, factors like medication side effects, cognitive changes, and health inequities can exacerbate mental health issues....

The two last met in 2017 during an ITF match that saw Bencic get even with Buzarnescu after playing deep in the opening set before coasting to a straight sets win. Both were on different paths last season with the Romanian winning her first title at the inaugural event in San Jose. Bencic nearly had one herself but made a serious push at Luxembourg to feel confident in her first WTA tournament....

The current general manager of the Pittsburgh Penguins, Rutherford has overseen a pair of titles in the Steel City. Go further back, and the 70-year-old is synonymous with the Carolina Hurricanes from the time the franchise moved south from Hartford in the late 1990s until well into this century. More specifically, Rutherford was the GM of the 2006 Stanley Cup-winning Hurricanes team that dominated from the start of that season to deliver a championship to a market that badly needed one....

Sreejesh will be is vying to find top form after nearly eight months of break due to a knee injury. He had suffered a medial collateral ligament (MCL) injury during the Azlan Shah tournament earlier last year.

Akim Aliu gave details to the Wall Street Journal in a Wednesday report that has already put two in the penalty box. Aliu is a longtime hockey player who was born in Nigeria and made it into seven NHL games during his career. His name became more well-known after his November 25 tweet that said Calgary Flames coach Bill Peters, while Peters was coaching the Flames’ minor league team in which Aliu played in 2009, used racial slurs toward him....

First mentioned in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, and then first seen in Order of the Phoenix, the Room of Requirement is said to present itself to students at Hogwarts only when they truly need it. It seems as though Hogwarts Legacy’s player-character is one of the lucky few that’s deemed worthy of entry, as the Room of Requirement plays a pretty major role in the game, acting as a base of operations for the player....

What’s perhaps most exciting about Hogwarts Legacy, more than any single feature or gameplay mechanic, is that it’s a fully open world based in the Harry Potter universe. This will be the most robust opportunity to experience the magical world of Harry Potter from a player’s perspective. Avalanche is well aware of that opportunity, and as such is focusing on gameplay based on what Harry Potter fans will want to do....

Moreover, many open-world action-RPGs feature combat where players cut down enemies without a second thought. It is possible that Hogwarts Legacy could pit players against fellow students, but many of the game’s common enemies seem to be appropriately antagonistic and wish harm upon them. Still, the argument remains that players may not need to use curses that seem reprehensible on enemies at all if they wish not to. For players who do want to use curses, the Dark Arts Battle Arena offers a haven to freely enjoy Unforgivable Curses as a feature in Hogwarts Legacy....
