The vampire, played by Kayvan Novak, is going through a “mid-life” crisis over the course of the season, and he is desperate to find someone to spend the rest of his eternal life with. To do this, Nandor decides to use the Cloak of Duplication, imploring lothario Laszlo (Matt Berry) to chat up a human woman he likes at his local gym using the forbidden artifact that allows the latter to disguise himself as the other....

In the bizarre world of post-communist Eastern Europe, former communists are not only winning elections in countries like Poland and Hungary, they are often brazenly unrepentant about their resumes. The pain of the economic transformation has worked in their favor. Though the Poles led the assault on the old communist system, many of them are now so preoccupied with their current discontents that they have lost their moral vision; they no longer seem to distinguish between old oppressors and the oppressed....

The mortgage broker, who moved from Nepal to Australia, saved for a deposit on a $398,950 block of land in Edmonson Park, south-west Sydney, to build the house. He later signed a building agreement with construction company Zac Homes in 2016 for a custom off-plan build, which cost him a further $322,000. But later he got a shock, realizing that what he paid for was a house half the expected size....

Chief of Gilroy Police, Scot Smithee, told a news conference that the man managed to enter the festival on Sunday by cutting his way through a fence and that he was likely to have had an accomplice, although it was unclear whether that person had opened fire. “It’s just incredibly sad and disheartening that at an event that does so much good the community had to suffer from a tragedy like this,” said Smithee, according to Reuters....

“The wicket turned more than expected in the first innings. In the second innings there was enough dew to make it slightly better for the batsmen. The bowlers did a very good job to restrict them to 150. The batsmen, we like a bit of pace, and like it to come onto the bat. We look a slightly better side when that happens,” he said. While CSK have not really dropped too many chances in the last couple of seasons, the ground fielding has sometimes left fans wondering whether having young players in the XI would have helped, but Dhoni as always backed his men to the core....

Wild Mountain Thyme is a fairy tale. No doubt about it. From the open line—“Once upon a time”—you know you are safe and in good hands, the hands of director and screenwriter Shanley. He wrote the screenplay to Moonstruck, the classic 1987 Italian-American romance starring Cher and Nicolas Cage. And this is no Grimm fairy tale, nor a grim one. It is a valentine to the land of Shanley’s forebears, its language, its people and their stories....

The 29-year-old who is currently ranked 399th in the world, took the example of the prize money at the Dubai Tennis Championships. Jelena Ostapenko won her fifth WTA singles title in Dubai by beating Veronika Kudermetova in the final. The Latvian earned $104,180, which is lesser than what a semifinalist will earn in the men’s singles competition despite both tournaments being of the same level (ATP 500 and WTA 500)....

His departure was announced on Thursday in an official statement by Starship Entertainment, the group’s management company, that read: “We regret to announce this disappointing news, especially to the amazing MONSTA X fans who have always supported and cared for the group/ We promise to return with better music and stage for MONSTA X fans,” in a post on the company’s official Twitter account. Several fans took to social media to express their disappointment using various hashtags including #WonhoWeLoveYou which has been trending, along with the name Wonho on Twitter since the news of his departure....

Wordle is now hosted on the New York Times website, following a seven-figure acquisition earlier this year after the puzzle game went from an intimate experience to a worldwide phenomenon. When Wordle launched in October 2021, the game only had several dozen players who took part daily. Now, the puzzle game regularly attracts more than a million visitors each day. Wordle’s incredible growth is plotted in the Statista graphic below....

The puzzle provides players with a useful color-coded system using green, yellow, and grey tiles to indicate when a letter is in the word in the right place, in the wrong place, and also if it’s not in the word at all. But, when that’s not enough, players could do with some clues, and Newsweek has put several together. The answer is also available at the bottom of this article....

The aim may be deceptively simple but still able to tie you in knots, as players have six attempts to get a five-letter word. If you get a correct letter in the right place, the tile goes green, if it is in the word but in the wrong place, it goes yellow. Any letter not in the word goes gray and so can be discounted. Whether you have succeeded or failed, a box pops up on screen at the end of the game for you to share if you want to boast about your achievement, or perhaps keep to yourself if you didn’t get there....

The concept behind Wordle is simple enough. The game, which involves players from around the world, asks users to solve the puzzle by guessing a mystery five-letter word —in six tries or fewer. The game refreshes each day with a new word that needs to be worked out from scratch. Wordle tries to help users stumble across the correct word by using a color-coded system; each correct letter turns green, or yellow if it’s in the word but is currently in the wrong place, or gray when it is incorrect....

In January 2022 the game, which became widely popular with the help of social media sites like Twitter, was purchased by the New York Times for an undisclosed seven-figure sum. The rules of the game are very simple. Each day the player has to work out a five-letter word, in six guesses or less. After each guess the letters light up to show how accurate they were. If a letter goes green it is both in the word, and in the correct position....

The San Siro side saw off competition from Serie A rivals Juventus to sign Lukaku from Manchester United on Thursday in a deal reported to be worth €80million (£73m). Conte first tried to sign the Belgium international for Chelsea two years ago, only to miss out to Man United, but the pair now have the opportunity to work alongside each other at Inter. And Lukaku is relishing the chance to develop his game under Conte, who won three successive Serie A titles at Juventus before lifting the Premier League and FA Cup at Chelsea....

The group is reportedly pursuing legal action against the company, which they claim has not paid the group since their debut in 2017, despite enforcing a rigorous work schedule. The four-piece band alleges the agency has yet to pay the group in the three years since its debut and put them on a demanding work schedule, including a 17-city U.S. tour for this year that was scheduled without their consent, despite the ongoing payment issues....

Ravindra Jadeja (3/16) and Ravichandran Ashwin (3/20) turned back the clock and spun a web around Namibia’s middle-order batters. Jasprit Bumrah (2/19) complemented the spin duo’s efforts to restrict the opposition. Rahul Chahar and Mohammed Shami were wicketless tonight in what was the former’s first game of the tournament. Fans took notice of all the action in the first half and took to Twitter to express their reactions. Many slammed the Indian selectors for dropping Yuzvendra Chahal from the team as Chahar and Varun Chakravarthy failed to pick up a single wicket in the World Cup....

Pompeo on Saturday offered his praise of the Pacific island nation of Palau, which held its presidential and legislative elections on November 3, the same as the U.S. The country of fewer than 20,000 people elected former senator and businessman Surangel Whipps Jr., who is set to become president just four days before President-elect Joe Biden’s Inauguration Day. But Pompeo on November 10 appeared to reject the U.S. election results and quipped during a State Department address, “there will be a smooth transition to a second Trump administration....

However, that’s likely to change soon. A new Borderlands Show is scheduled for February 11 where Live Lead Greame Timmins will be a special guest. The hosts have promised “big announcements” and “community updates,” with all signs pointing to that meaning Borderlands 3 DLC. It wouldn’t be the first time DLC was revealed on the show, after all, and would be a good time to reveal the next run of DLC if not a full Borderlands 3 2020 roadmap....

The character, played by Mark Proksch, is an energy vampire who feeds on the emotions of humans rather than blood, and Colin thrives off of boring people. While he may not be as flamboyant or charming as vampire housemates Nandor (Kayvan Novak), Laszlo (Matt Berry) or Nadya (Natasia Demetriou), he somehow fits perfectly with them. And in Season 3, Colin gets to take the spotlight with the series exploring a surprisingly amusing friendship between him and Laszlo....

Kushner, also Trump’s son-in-law, made the remarks in testimony played during Thursday night’s primetime hearing of the House Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the U.S. Capitol. Kushner was responding to a question from Representative Liz Cheney of Wyoming, one of two Republicans serving on the committee, who asked if he was “aware of instances where Pat Cipollone threatened to resign.” Cheney explained that Cipollone was “so concerned about potentially lawless activity” connected to January 6 and Trump’s false claims of a “stolen” 2020 election that “he threatened to resign multiple times....
