Now, she enters the Hockey Hall of Fame as someone who has revolutionized the game and advanced women’s hockey along the way. Growing up, the Shaunavon, Sask. native played mainly on boys’ teams until she was 13. At just 15 years old, she joined Canada’s National Women’s Team and won her first international title in 1994 at the World Championship. Wickenheiser also won gold at the World Championship in 1997 and 1999; she was placed on both tournaments’ All-Star teams and named the 1999 IIHF World Championship MVP....

The Indian men’s hockey team must guard against complacency when they take on Ireland in their first match of the FIH Hockey World League semifinals in Rotterdam on Thursday. The Michael-Nobbs coached side had undertaken elaborate preparations for this event, with two long strenuous training camps as well as an exposure tour of the Netherlands. Given this scenario, the men in blue would be expected to be at their best against the Irish side, who gave them a mighty scare when they squared off during the HWL Round 2 event in New Delhi....

Therefore, we can’t help but think — if the characters of this world were to attend Hogwarts in the Harry Potter world, what would the Sorting Hat deem them as? Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, or Slytherin? We are, after all, always tempted to sort ourselves into the fictional houses of Hogwarts… Why not do the same with the characters of The Witcher?

Shortly after the Hogwarts Legacy State of Play presentation, Warner Bros. Interactive confirmed that not only is the game coming to PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X, but it’s also coming to the Nintendo Switch. Hogwarts Legacy seems like a fairly sizable and demanding game, so how exactly it will run on the Switch remains unclear at this point. However, there was no mention of the Switch version only being playable through the Cloud, so it seems that the developers were somehow able to make a proper native Switch version that will presumably be available as both a download and as a physical cartridge....

The thing is, no one knows. CJD ordinarily strikes people middle-aged or older, literally eating holes into their brains–like the brains of cows who die from BSE (Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy), a.k.a. “mad-cow disease.” BSE, unknown in America, began striking English cattle in the 1980s; biologists think it came from feeding them the ground-up carcasses of infected sheep, a practice since banned. The new outbreak of CJD comprised only 10 cases–but, ominously, the average age of the victims was only 27....

The West Indies had trained in Dubai for a week before coming to India. Missing out Holder from the line-up was a big blow to the visitors as is handy with both bat and ball.

Obviously it has not settled down as much as he or the medical staff would have liked....

Based on a survey of 9,630 people who self-identified as current, former, or aspiring workers in the entertainment industry, the latest report emphasizes that Hollywood’s problem with bullying is “exacerbated by the industry’s power imbalances.” Consequently, the report notes that women are twice as likely as men to report experiencing abusive behavior in the workplace, with female assistants under the age of 40 reporting instances of abuse at a rate two to three times higher than the overall sample....

That wasn’t the last time somebody wanted to give Don Simpson a spanking. But decades later, he and his partner, Jerry Bruckheimer, are among the most successful movie producers in history. The ’80s were one long, nearly perfect summer as the pair made “Flashdance,” “Beverly Hills Cop” and “Top Gun.” The ’90s, however, were beginning to look like a nuclear winter. Simpson and Bruckheimer went almost five years without a hit-without a movie, practically....

Urushiol can also linger on clothing, firewood, or a pet’s fur and then transfer to your skin. The rash it causes (rhus dermatitis or Toxicodendron dermatitis) is red, itchy, and often marked by red bumps, blisters, and swelling. It can pop up anywhere from four hours to 10 days after exposure and last one to four weeks. While the rash itself isn’t contagious, if it is not thoroughly washed off, contact with urushiol can spread the resin to someone else....

Still other parents pull their kids out of school to solve what they think is a short-term problem–and find long-term challenges. Eric and Joyce Burges, who live outside Baton Rouge, La., began home schooling nearly a decade ago after their oldest son, Eric Jr., had a disastrous year at a selective magnet high school. It was a struggle at first; neither is a professional teacher. But as Eric Jr.’s confidence rose at home, so did Joyce’s, and she now teaches her four other kids, ages 15 to 3, at home as well....

On the 12th straight weekend of protests, black-clad demonstrators protested Chinese government surveillance armed with bamboo poles and baseball bats. They marched against “smart lamp posts” that was sparked by surveillance fears. “I understand being peaceful will not solve the problem,” a 19-year-old student protester called Ryan told the AFP news agency on Saturday. “The government won’t respond to peaceful protest,” he said. The key theme of this particular march was to oppose the government’s installation of smart lamp posts equipped with sensors, closed-circuit cameras and data networks....

Past pro-democracy movements in the territory have petered out as residents grew tired of disruption and weary of conflict. The current unrest remains vigorous—and indeed developments have recently taken a dark turn—but how long it will last remains to be seen. The unrest stems from a proposed extradition bill that would allow Hong Kong to extradite criminals to face trial in mainland China. Opponents fear this would enable Beijing to target its political opponents in the territory and undermine the “one country, two systems” agreement active since Hong Kong was handed back to Chinese control....
