Virat Kohli’s stint as T20I captain came to an end following India’s exit from the T20 World Cup 2021. It was a disappointing finish as the Men in Blue crashed out of the ICC event following the Super 12 round. Speaking on his YouTube channel, Kaneria gave his opinion on the likely candidates for India’s T20 captaincy roles.

Called ventricular remodeling, the operation is meant for patients with enlarged hearts due to end-stage congestive heart failure, which directly or indirectly kills almost 300,000 Americans each year. To do the remodeling, the surgeon cuts away a section of the heart wall (diagram). Although excising living tissue has long been a cardiological no-no, Batista’s operation seems to provide the cardiac equivalent of a face-lift: it makes the heart tauter. That gives it greater pumping power, which means more blood and oxygen for the body....

Speaking in an interview, Zelnick, who has presumably already seen next-generation hardware in action, stated that, “…we’re going to reach a point where you won’t be able to tell the difference between what’s created in the computer and what’s real.” Zelnick also said that the new hardware will allow the company to accomplish things it’s never been able to do before creatively. Take-Two is one of the biggest publishers on the market, with the likes of Borderlands 3, Red Dead Redemption 2, and the NBA 2K series all under its belt....

Zelnick provided an interview following the June quarterly fiscal reporting of Take-Two. A request for comment on Trump’s statement was offered quickly. Zelnick’s first thought, it must be noted, was sympathy for the victims and their families from the past week’s several mass shootings. Speaking for Take-Two, Zelnick said, “We’re just sickened and saddened by these senseless tragedies.” The final comment in his response was a call “to address the real issues....

The likes of Nintendo, Sega, and Atari experimented with game subscription services since the ’80s, but modern takes on the idea only started gaining traction after Netflix popularized the concept of paying for on-demand catalog entertainment over the course of the previous decade. Looking at every gaming subscription out there, Microsoft is currently the arguable leader in the segment with its Xbox Game Pass offering, both in terms of content volume and variety....

The scholarships are meant to boost New York City’s driver diversity. Women comprise 13 percent of cabbies nationwide, but account for less than 1 percent of New York’s 40,000 licensed cabdrivers. Fernando Mateo, president of the New York State Federation of Taxi Drivers and the man who devised the program, hopes more women will sign up as they learn about the job’s perks. “Driving a yellow cab gives women the flexibility to drop their kids off at school and to pick them up in the evening,” Mateo says....

The Taliban swept into Kabul last weekend and have since vowed to respect women’s rights and not seek vengeance on those who fought them. But thousands of Afghans, fearing persecution and a return to the strict form of Islamic rule the Taliban imposed in the late 1990s, are desperate to flee the country. Khola Hasan, a scholar with the U.K. Islamic Sharia Council, has claimed the group has evolved in the 20 years since U....

Suhail Shaheen said foreign diplomats would not be arrested, suggesting they should remain in the country, and that there would be no revenge attacks against people who worked with the administration, as police, or as translators. “It will be a new chapter in co-operation,” Shaheen, part of the Taliban’s negotiating team, told BBC News. “They [the U.S.] can participate. We want good relations with the United States.” The U.S. has been using military helicopters to transport approximately 1,400 officials and diplomats to Kabul airport from the heavily fortified embassy....

I think what they are doing is smart. It would be one thing if they were merely going around seeking to enjoy the adulation of office. But even their most ferocious critics don’t think these are people who have nothing particular in mind beyond perpetuating their own ascent to glory. This administration is committed to getting some very momentous, complicated-and in many respects, extremely disruptive-business done. It must be plain to the people at the top that there is not the smallest chance of their succeeding unless they can engage large segments of the public in the process....

The antiviral Tamiflu (oseltamivir) and some of its generic versions are in short supply, according to a list by the American Society of Health-System Pharmacists (ASHP).

Anyone can report a drug shortage to the ASHP, and pharmacists from the University of Utah verify the reports with drug manufacturers....

Abraham 4/1 to score first v Leicester These struggles have prompted speculations that Antonio Conte will cut short Abraham’s stay at the Liberty Stadium but the English tactician is adamant the player will see out the entire duration of his loan due to a clause inserted in the agreement about the required number of games the lanky forward is expected to play this season....
