A team from Newcastle University in the U.K. found the creature—a type of crustacean known as an amphipod (colloquially referred to as “hoppers”)—in the Mariana Trench at a depth of around 20,000 feet, according to research published in the journal Zootaxa. The 1,580 mile-long trench located in the western Pacific Ocean has a maximum depth of around 36,000 feet. But even animals living in these extreme and seemingly remote environments don’t appear to be exempt from the impacts of plastic pollution....

Thankfully, it would appear that Twitch is attempting to make that final part a little easier for the creators on the website that have a dedicated enough community to give them a massive boost. It’s a small gesture towards helping smaller streamers get their start, and begin building the overall community away from the current format where a select few hold the vast majority of consistent viewers.

The clothing company’s newest commercial features clone armies of NBA champion Stephen Curry, rising golf star Jordan Spieth and American Ballet Theatre ballerina Misty Copeland doing what they do best.

The latest feat by Molchanov, a 14-time world champion who holds 18 world records, is dedicated to One Breath. The film, out next month, looks at the career of his mother.

Xbox Game Pass games have leaked in the past, one way or another, but these leaks are not the most common thing in the world either. This makes most Xbox Game Pass leaks questionable, but the latest leaked title comes right from the horse’s mouth: the Microsoft Store. There is a decent chance that this is some technical error, but it’s also likely a legitimate leak. RELATED: Xbox Game Pass Adds 2 More Games, Including Day One Release...

Whereas Furi was more of a bullet-hell/hack-and-slash game, Haven is instead a co-op RPG centered around a sci-fi romance between its two protagonists, Yu and Kay. Though Haven is an RPG, the game will not feature dense menus or questlogs, in order to allow players to pay more attention to Yu and Kay and their relationship as they traverse a lost planet and discover its secrets. And while the games center element is that it is a co-op love story, those who don’t have a special someone to share it with can play the whole game solo as well....

Those who choose to get vaccinated will have to do so by the middle of September, when public schools should be back in session, or get tested every week, the Associated Press reported. While none of the qualifying workers will be forced to get the vaccine, authorities hope that many of them will choose inoculation over the inconvenience of weekly COVID-19 testing. “This is about our recovery. This is about what we need to do to bring back New York City,” de Blasio said....

In an internal memo to court system personnel authored by Chief Administrative Judge Lawrence K. Marks, measures were outlined detailing how New York courts plan on coping with the spread of the novel coronavirus. “Effective immediately, we have imposed a one-week moratorium on evictions in New York City, subject to further extension upon review,” Marks wrote Friday in the bulletin, which was obtained by the non-profit news outlet The City....

Yep. Sold her tiny Manhattan pad and bought a whole brownstone–“over there.” That Miranda is a fictional character should in no way undercut the significance of this New York minute. In America, all cultural revolutions–from Bill Cosby revealing the existence of an educated black middle class to Ellen DeGeneres leaping from the closet–are ushered in not by social commentators in prestigious journals but by TV scriptwriters. Miranda’s move across the East River is just such a watershed moment....

He also added that the board does not plan to approach the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) for acquiring the hosting rights for the upcoming season of the IPL. This statement comes just days after New Zealand was thought to have followed the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Sri Lanka in proposing to host the IPL, according to a senior BCCI official.

The left-arm paceman, 30, suffered the injury while fielding a ball off his own bowling during a match for the Otago Volts. “The initial assessment is that Neil will require four to six weeks for recovery, but we’ll be in a position to make a better judgement on that in the next couple of weeks,” coach Mike Hesson said in a New Zealand Cricket statement. “Neil’s an important member of our test side and he is obviously desperate to play in such a big series, so we’ll do everything we can to get him back on the park as soon as possible....

After a disheartening loss in the 2019 World Cup final, the Kiwis will be looking to bounce back when they take on Sri Lanka. Keeping in mind the conditions that are expected to be on offer, the New Zealand selectors have named four spinners in their touring brigade, with Todd Astle, Ajaz Patel, William Somerville and Mitchell Santner making the cut. Sri Lanka, on the other hand, enter this series on the back of an astounding show against Bangladesh....

New Zealand now lead the visitors by 308 runs, with 9 second-innings wickets in hand. Sri Lanka began the day at their overnight score of 197/4, but lost their last six wickets for 97 runs. Tim Southee wreaked havoc early on, as he struck a double-blow dismissing both the overnight batsmen, Dinesh Chandimal for 83 and Kithuruwan Vithanage for 22, in the space of three overs, thereby leaving Sri Lanka at 209/6....

The Kiwis were on the money with both bat and ball in the first Test as they dismantled the opposition by an innings and 34 runs. Riding on captain Kane Williamson’s double hundred and Tim Southee’s incisive swing bowling, New Zealand ran riot. More of the same will be expected of the Kiwis, who are the overwhelming favourites heading into this game. The Windies, on the other hand, have a few personnel concerns with Shane Dowrich and Kemar Roach leaving the side after the first Test....

How could they do that, you ask? By getting other rational brands to split the costs, obviously.

The on-off move had been mooted since December, when Almiron led Atlanta to MLS Cup glory, and was finalised on Thursday as Newcastle splashed out a reported £20.5million on the Paraguay international. The deal sees the Premier League’s longest standing club-record broken, with the Magpies belatedly agreeing a deal to surpass their £16.5m signing of Michael Owen in 2005. Almiron was nominated for the MVP award in MLS in 2018, having quickly established himself as one of the league’s standout stars after arriving at the expansion side the previous season....

Rafa Benitez’s side will be looking to banish memories from last week’s outing at St. Mary’s Stadium where they surrendered the lead twice against Southampton to record a 2-2 stalemate. They face a resurgent Palace side at St. James’ Park in their next English topflight encounter and the Ghana international, gutted with their previous result, said they intend to make things right in front of their own fans. “I think we deserved to win....

Steve Bruce’s Newcastle United stunned the Red Devils at St. James Park, as 19-year-old Matthew Longstaff scored on his Premier League debut to claim all three points for The Magpies. The Red Devils has again lacked ideas going forward, and their best chance of the encounter fell to Harry Maguire in the 44th minute, with his header just missing the mark from six yards out. Both sides had a couple of opportunities, but few hit the target....

The Swiss international reacted furiously to being jeered by the home crowd after he was substituted during Arsenal’s 2-2 draw with Crystal Palace at the Emirates Stadium last month. Following that, the player was stripped of the captain’s armband and has not been part of any matchday squad either. If reports coming out of England are to be believed, Newcastle United are interested in securing the services of the Swiss international....
