But his association with President Donald Trump could spoil their chances. James, a businessman and combat veteran, sailed through the Republican primary this week unopposed. He is facing Democratic incumbent Gary Peters this fall as the lone Black Republican running for Senate in the 2020 cycle. If elected, he’d be the second African-American conservative in the 100-member chamber. Amid a nationwide reckoning on racial inequality in the wake of the police death of George Floyd in May, Black candidates running for federal office have seen a boost in support: Jamaal Brown in New York, Charles Booker in Kentucky and Jaime Harrison in South Carolina are among them....

The Opening ceremony was presided by the Secretary General of the Softball Association of India, Dr. Pravin Anaokar, along with RDT’s Program Director and President of the Softball Association of Andhra Pradesh, Mr. Moncho Ferrer. Dr. Anaokar said addressing the athletes. “Softball has great potential to grow with its inclusion in the Olympics; it has a bright future, owing to Japan being the next Olympic host nation after Rio and a country that is extremely enthusiastic about softball....

The Sims 4 wasn’t popular when it first released, with many fans citing cut features as a major source of their disdain. The game also had some major issues with bugs during its launch, though it has managed to regain some of its fan base through updates and downloadable content, like the one that lets you “woohoo” with Santa, since its original launch back in 2014. These updates have done a lot for the franchise, and now many Sims fans are awaiting another entry in the franchise....

The company realized that its app needs some improvement and has decided to completely redesign it to provide a new app experience with more personal features and an easy-to-use interface. Sling TV Redesigned App Should Arrive Soon Sling TV has announced that it is launching a redesigned version of its streaming app. The company says that this redesign is considered to be the “most comprehensive update in Sling TV’s history....

There’s an exception. On a sun-splashed corner near Central Park a churchlike building is filled to the rafters with Christian worshipers. By 9:15, the room is at capacity. By 9:20, even the balcony is full. There’s nothing sexy here. There’s no rock band, no drop-down theater-size video screen, no 100-member gospel choir—just a few chamber musicians and a couple of prayer leaders to help the congregation along in its hymns....

Nowhere has that been better illustrated than at San Siro, which was hit by a social media storm over the past week. On December 3, Inter routed Chievo 5-0 at San Siro to go top of Serie A. Two months on, they are out of the title race and in very real danger of dropping out of the Champions League places. After a record-equalling run of eight games without a win, giddy talk of a first Scudetto since 2010 has been replaced by rumours of dressing-room divisions....

The phone is available for pre-order in over 30 countries, with an equally flagship-level price of $999 in the US. Xperia 5 IV Specs While the Xperia 5 isn’t Sony’s most high-end range, it offers only modest compromises in comparison to the Xperia 1 series. And even the high price is a lot more palatable than the eye-watering $1600 that the Xperia 1 IV sold for. Sony describes the phone as “compact”....

Professional managers have always moved like lemmings from one industry to another. But the herd instinct is in danger of getting out of hand, and some Wall Street watchers fear that small investors will be badly burned when the big mutual funds decide to move on. While mutual funds are taking big stakes in many industries, high-tech stocks may be the first place the bubble bursts. “There’s a lot of hot money in technology stocks,” says John Rekenthaler, editor of Morningstar Mutual Funds....

That new way is encapsulated by three words that Goldin has made the agency’s mantra under his five-year reign: better, faster, cheaper. Pathfinder’s success, from its never-before-attempted landing on 17-foot airbags through the first-ever mobile exploration of another world, shows that the right stuff can be bought for a supersaver fare. It can also pump up public, media and presidential interest in the space program. Pathfinder Web sites recorded 220 million hits the first five days....

So he did a quick eBay search and found a sweatshirt he just had to have. And he was wearing this hoodie when I happened to bump into him before Game 3 of the ALCS at Kauffman Stadium, as he was exiting the merchandise store right next to the Royals’ Hall of Fame on the outfield concourse. — Buy Royals championship gear! It was quickly evident he hadn’t bought this particular item of clothing at the official team shop....

He was jailed in late 2019 for violating medical regulations after announcing his work at a conference the previous year. According to China’s Xinhua news agency at the time, a court found that He and colleagues “crossed the bottom line of ethics in scientific research.” There remain many unknowns in the aftermath of He’s work, but he claimed that he used a gene-editing procedure known as CRISPR-Cas9 to rewrite the genomes of embryos before the children were born....

Kennedy ghosts still walk in Washington 40 years after John F. Kennedy’s death, though they’ve grown friendlier with age. The past is on display this summer in “Jacqueline Kennedy’s Washington,” a citywide series in which an array of museums and cultural institutions from the National Gallery of Art to the Library of Congress pay tribute to Camelot’s queen. The former First Lady grew up in Washington, lived there for the entirety of her marriage to JFK and was perhaps the greatest cultural advocate the city has ever seen....

The Race for ATP Mens Singles Ranking has again heated up this season. So far this year has been most exciting with the top three retaining points very close to 10k mark. But if there is something that is next to being the World-No:1, then that would be winning at the All England Club this summer. Nadal would be seeking revenge for the seven-in-a-row title defeats to Djokovic and vice-versa Djokovic for recent three defeats in Clay Season....

Felda United’s skipper, Shukor Adan revealed that the team has adapted and improved ever since the arrival of new coach B. Sathianathan. Sathianathan took charge of the team last month after Azmi Mohamed stepped down and since then, Felda United are yet to lose any domestic matches. “The arrival of Sathianathan as a coach really played an important role to the team. We are yet to lose under him, so I think the players can accept his instruction really well....

The showrunner for The Thing About Pam explained how she used a method she dubbed “Pamvision” to convey the convicted killer’s theatrical, over-the-top lies during the investigation into the 2011 murder of Betsy Faria. NBC’s true crime drama explores Betsy’s friend Pam’s involvement in the trial, which resulted in the wrongful conviction of her husband Russ, and its aftermath, including the death of Louis Gumpenberger. Klein promised the show will be even more “theatrical” as it goes on by referencing the show’s first episode, which sees Zellweger’s Pam detail her “perfect” life in a dream-like sequence that begs belief....

A prime example of this is England’s 2-0 defeat to Croatia in a European qualifier in 2006. Steve McClaren had sent his men out in an untested 3-5-2 formation, with Gary Neville revealing in his autobiography that the system had been tested only a few days before the match. Attempts to rid the four man defensive norm in the Premier League, meanwhile, have often been met with humiliating failure. Former Inter Milan coach Gian Gasperini will testify to this fact....

These characters have a special place in our hearts (and hard drives), and we’d like to celebrate Saint Patrick’s Day by shining a light on some of the best Irish game characters from the last several years. 5 Patrick McReary (Grand Theft Auto 4) One of Grand Theft Auto 4’s more memorable characters (who doesn’t perpetually ask you to go bowling), Packie is the youngest of the McReary crime family....

So far, Shirai has had an impressive reign. She defended the title against Tegan Nox and Dakota Kai, despite interference from Raquel Gonzalez. In this week’s episode of NXT, General Manager William Regal announced that eleven members of the NXT women’s roster will go head-to-head in a battle royal next week to determine the next number one contender for Io Shirai’s NXT Women’s Championship.
