My mother, Betty, was very young when she had me, just 18. I hate to think how much she must have struggled. Having a baby out of wedlock in the 1940s was frowned upon. My mother was white and my father was Black, so having a mixed race baby must have been even more difficult for her. My childhood was spent in Leicester, a city in the East Midlands of England....
The Netflix documentary takes its name from Maggie Nichols, who was described as ‘Athlete A’ in her lawsuit against USA Gymnastics. In the suit Nichols alleged that she was snubbed from the 2016 Olympic team after she came forward and told the organization she had been abused by Nasser since she was 15. In a statement released when Nichols came forward as Athlete A, she said: “I trusted what he was doing at first, but then he started touching me in places I really didn’t think he should....

It was a rare whimsical moment in what has been a relentlessly angry five-month campaign. But fury is what has propelled Silber, 63, to the top of the polls, ahead of the two veteran politicians–former attorney general Francis X. Bellotti and Lt. Gov. Evelyn Murphy–who are his primary opponents. Silber’s candidacy galvanized voters who blame retiring Gov. Michael Dukakis and the Democratic establishment for the state’s descent from “Massachusetts Miracle” to recession, a possible billion-dollar deficit and the lowest bond rating of any state in the nation....

Arsenal may regret snubbing Pickford Hartson wants to see Arsene Wenger do something similar this summer, with it vital for ambition to be shown in the transfer market on the back of a fifth-place finish....
During his address at a Turning Point USA conference in Washington, D.C. earlier today, Trump declared to a crowd of young conservatives: “Then I have an Article 2, where I have the right to do whatever I want as president.” The inaccurate statement came after he attacked former special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election. It was not the first time the president has made the claim....
The 33-year-old recovered emphatically after dropping the first set 6-1, conceding just three games in the remainder of the match to roll into the second week. Azarenka was slow off the blocks, hitting just two winners and leaking three double faults as the American drew first blood. However, the 2012-13 winner improved in the next two sets as Keys’ level dropped, closing out a 99-minute victory to move to the second week....

I’ll try to do better than that in answering the questions sent my way. Let’s do it. On a scale of 1 to 10, probably a 6, because once the season gets going, there will be actual baseball to talk about instead of DRAMA! surrounding a guy who turns 40 in July and may or may not still be capable of playing at a major league level. Right now, though, it’s January, which meant that on Thursday, the world got to read Newsday’s report that A-Rod thinks he will be the Yankees’ third baseman over Chase Headley, something about which Rodriguez almost certainly is wrong, but also something that any professional athlete should think....
In addition to the biggest and most detailed sandbox in Assassin’s Creed history, not to mention the highly anticipated inclusion of co-operative multiplayer missions, Unity also includes one feature that has many gamers rolling their eyes - microtransactions. Previously, the developers detailed how microtransactions work in the game but, now that Unity is actually out, we have a much clearer picture of what gamers can get for their added money....
Considering Ubisoft had revealed that the next Assassin’s Creed, which would coincide with some in-game event taking place in 2012, would be the final game for long time Animus user Desmond it makes sense that he would be getting a good chunk of story this time around. Last year’s iteration, Assassin’s Creed: Revelations, featured Desmond in some pretty unique gameplay, but ultimately that wasn’t what fans were looking for....
[HTML1] For those Assassin’s Creed fans who are brushing up on the extended Assassin/Templar fiction - or completing Revelations to make sure you’re up to date - Ubisoft has given a reminder of just how much Assassin’s Creed 3’s leading man, Connor Kenway looks to outdo his predecessors. We know he’ll be stronger than Ezio or Altaïr, but as much as the developers may be downplaying the American ‘Patriot’ angle in favor of a more universal story, the newest Assassin’s Creed 3 cinematic trailer doesn’t mince words....
[HTML1] For months now, we’ve analyzed Assassin’s Creed III in its American Revolution milieu through the lens of cinematic trailers, breathtakingly beautiful and brutally violent screenshots, and imparted wisdom from the creative minds at the reigns. Gameplay footage, however, has sidestepped the spotlight with all the deft of an Assassin Order master, and it wasn’t until last week that Ubisoft teased teased a full trailer in exchange for 1,776,000 Facebook likes....
With characters from every previous game in the series being given ample screen time, there’s no shortage of insight into the trauma suffered by Altair, the final mission by Ezio Auditore, and exactly what message and instructions have been given to Desmond by “those who came before.” Safely assume that anyone who is reading this has completed Revelations, so speak freely - but, if you haven’t finished the game, I would recommend you don’t read these comments here until you have....
“I actually have a lot of friendships on the other side of the aisle,” Boyle, a Democrat who represents Pennsylvania’s 2nd District, said during an interview with conservative CNN host S.E. Cupp. “I’ve been able to produce real, meaningful legislation with Republican colleagues of mine, especially as it relates to foreign policy,” he pointed out. Boyle went on to say that “a significant number of Republican friends” in Congress had “expressed their deep concerns” about the president....

The anime’s final season has wowed viewers for weeks now, and episode 80, titled “From You, 2,000 Years Ago,” was no exception. Last week, it was revealed that Eren Yeager, whose surname is written as Jaeger in the anime, was the one responsible for his father’s massacre of the Reiss Family all along and it was him who set into motion the events of the series.
