It seems the UK wound up making a lot of money off of video games throughout the year, with a new report from the Entertainment Retailers Association (ERA) revealing that video games earned the country a record-breaking £4.2 billion in revenue last year. Until now, Britain’s revenue for video games had never breached the £4 billion mark, even with the medium consistently being the highest-grossing entertainment industry in the country since 2013....
Since the war began, Ukrainian defense and law enforcement agencies have turned to social media to bolster support for its side and counter propaganda from Russia. But human rights groups have pointed out that some of these social media posts may violate international agreements prohibiting mistreatment of prisoners of war (POWs). “As numbers and images of captured soldiers in #Ukraine are circulating, let’s recall the protections afforded in the #ThirdGenevaConvention for the protection of their dignity and humanity, their physical and mental integrity,” Cordula Droege, the chief legal officer for humanitarian group International Committee of the Red Cross said in a tweet earlier this month....
Ukraine trailed inside five minutes as Lee Kang-in converted from the penalty spot, but Supriaha found the net either side of half-time and Heorhii Tsitaishvili rounded off the scoring late on. Saturday’s final in Lodz featured two first-time finalists and it was South Korea who made the brighter start thanks to Lee’s spot-kick, awarded after VAR ruled Kim Se-yun had been fouled just inside the area. Supriaha profited from some slack defending to tap in an equaliser in the 34th minute, however, and he added Ukraine’s second early in the second half after being inadvertently played in by Korea’s Kim Hyun-woo....
“In the course of hostilities, the city of Chuhuiv was liberated. The occupiers suffered heavy losses in personnel and equipment,” the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine said in an operational update on Facebook. The Ukrainian army also claimed to have killed two high-ranking Russian military commanders: Lt. Col. Dmitry Safronov, commander of the 61st Separate Marine Brigade of the Russian Armed Forces, and Lt. Col. Denis Glebov, deputy commander of the 11th Separate Airborne Assault Brigade....
A hotline and website will be set up where people and organizations like charities and businesses can provide accommodations, such as rooms in homes, for those fleeing the Russian invasion, British newspaper Metro reported. The move comes as the attack on Ukraine enters its third week. Since it began, millions have fled the country to other parts of Europe. The U.K. is one of several countries, such as Poland, Ireland and the Czech Republic, that have implemented measures making it easier to welcome more refugees....
The best bit about the UMI eMax is its price, and right now it’s available for just £115 from Coolicool.com. That’s amazing value for money. Bear in mind, though, that this phone ships from China, so you may also incur import duty when purchased in the UK – read up on our advice on buying grey-market tech. While the UMI eMax’s graphics performance sits in line with UK-sold budget phones, its processing and battery performance is spectacular, beaten in our benchmarks only by the best Android phones in the land, the Samsung Galaxy S6 and its brother the S6 Edge....

Unai Emery’s team selection was all the more baffling. Having lost the first game of the season against City, one would have expected him to have learned. He didn’t! Granit Xhaka, who struggled badly against Pep Guardiola’s men, was again preferred to Lucas Torreira. That was a mistake. The second game made it even clearer that Xhaka is not tailor-made for Arsenal’s new style. He is infuriatingly sluggish and too immobile to fit into the high energy, pressing game....
At least nine university employees were fired or under disciplinary review, and the question now becomes what, if anything, the NCAA will do next. Penalties could range from fewer scholarships to vacated wins. Most of the athletes were football players or members of the school’s cherished basketball program, which won three of its five national titles during the scandal (1993, 2005, 2009). Many at the university hoped the eight-month investigation by former U....
Carol Folt, chancellor of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, focused her latest monthly meeting with the school’s faculty council on an investigation that found university leaders and faculty members missed or ignored red flags over bogus grades and fake courses for nearly two decades. The results of the investigation were released last week. The university should give up whatever number of past championships or future star sports recruits is necessary to underline that scholarship, not sporting revenues, are why the school exists, sociology professor Andrew Perrin said....
