The Nintendo Switch re-release of the classic features improved motion controls over the original. This is great for die-hard fans that want to experience one of their favorite games just as they remember. However, the new controls in Skyward Sword HD may be preferable for many players. Whichever control scheme gamers choose, it’s undeniable that the appeal of this black sheep in the Zelda series is now broader than ever....
For the estimated 322 million people around the world living with depression, one of the most common symptoms is insomnia or trouble falling and staying asleep. Over 80% of people being treated for depression in the United States also experience difficulty sleeping. Research shows insomnia is also correlated with more severe cases of depression. Disrupted sleep and low mood can make you feel as if you’re trapped in a vicious cycle as one problem feeds the other....
When your thyroid isn’t producing enough hormones (hypothyroidism), your metabolism slows down. This reduces the number of calories your body burns and often leads to weight gain. Conversely, when your thyroid is producing too many hormones (hyperthyroidism), your metabolism goes into overdrive, burning more calories than normal and likely resulting in weight loss. However, this is a simplistic picture of the various factors that are involved in these processes....
We know that more people from minority ethnic groups were stopped in France simply because the police were more likely to focus their attention on poorer areas. These same areas are home to a higher proportion of people from minority backgrounds. In Seine-Saint-Denis, the poorest area of mainland France, where a big portion of residents are Black or of North African origin, the number of fines for breaching the lockdown was three times higher than in the rest of the country, despite the local authorities saying that respect for lockdown measures in that area was similar to other parts of the country....
It takes a while for the film, elegiacally shot in the depressed streets if Dublin and stuffed with local slang, to live up to this pitch. At first, it’s just a line. The manager, Jimmy (Dublin musician Robert Arkins), is part hustler, part believer. He assembles a band, the Commitments (mostly played by local musicians with no acting experience), and invests it with a mission that is only half pun: to be the saviors of soul....
We had anchored off the southwest end of Koh Muk, a tiny island in the Andaman Sea off the west coast of Thailand. As we leaped in the water off the stern of Orion, the 60-foot sloop we were sailing on down the Malay coast, we faced a sheer coral tower that rose like a skyscraper a thousand feet out of an emerald sea. With flippers on our feet we headed toward a frown in the cliff at the waterline....
While Aaron Rodgers, Tom Brady, Josh Allen and Patrick Mahomes command respect on the gridiron, their 12 holes at the Wynn Golf Club in Las Vegas during The Match showed that they’re all ready to take shots at one another when given the chance. Even commentators Charles Barkley, J.J. Watt and Trevor Immelman joined in on the trash talk going on. Rodgers and Brady might have had the last laugh with the win, but there were plenty of blows traded between all four quarterbacks that added to the entertainment of the sixth edition of The Match....
Apple CEO Tim Cook threw cold water on the concept of the metaverse and virtual reality (VR) technology in a recent interview. Instead, Cook argued that augmented reality (AR) would be more valuable for everyday users. He’s among a growing number of skeptics who say the idea of the metaverse is overblown. “AR is better aligned for productivity in the real world,” Chris Harrison, a professor in the Human-Computer Interaction Institute at Carnegie Mellon University, told Lifewire in an email interview....
The Precision Mouse comes with all the bells and whistles most people could want at the reasonable price of less than $100. It’s got three programmable buttons and a delightfully smooth scroll wheel. As someone who has suffered from repetitive stress injury (RSI), I’m always looking to switch up my mousing game. A wise physical therapist once told me that regularly changing up your pointing device is key to preventing RSI....
Here we are in the final days of the Becky Red Earth midterms, an election season that hinges more on odd characters, nasty tactics, local obsessions and relentless money-grubbing than on a grand discussion of the issues. Voters are anxious–about the war on terror, a possible attack on Iraq, an economy that may still need a defibrillator. But they aren’t hearing much of such matters. Democrats are afraid to confront Bush on Iraq or to call for the repeal of his tax cut, so they rely on old faithfuls such as Social Security....
A BAFTA-winning game series, The Last of Us is composed of Part I and Part II as well as the side story, Left Behind, which fills in some gaps in Ellie’s story.

What many do not know is that members of Topcraft, the Tokyo-based company, would later go on to make Studio Ghibli with Hayao Miyazaki. From the animation angle, this makes The Last Unicorn a part of Studio Ghibli’s history. Looking closely at the characters, magic, and animals in the movie (especially Lady Amalthea herself), the 80s anime-inspired style of the movie begins to shine. RELATED: The Studio Ghibli Movie That No One Wants To Talk About...

With weapons and shields that degrade faster and much stronger enemies with regenerating health, it can seem like a daunting task to attempt a successful run in Master Mode. However, there are a few things players can do that will make the attempt far less terrifying. 10 Avoid Early Battles On the way to the Temple of Time, Link is accosted by several Bokoblins on the road after meeting King Daphnes....
What people do for themselves is more lasting and important than what others do for them. This is merely common sense, but it runs counter to the reigning liberal thinking that continues to underpin many social programs. The prevailing assumption has been that the poor are victims who need to be helped. The trouble with this high-profile compassion is that it often ends up advertising the moral superiority of the compassion-givers more than aiding the intended recipients....
The sun is going down earlier. Temperatures have begun to drop to the cooler digits and snow can be seen on the ground across North America. While Old Man Winter has begun to make his presence felt, the action inside hockey rinks is burning up. In New York, the Islanders are obliterating the competition and have won nine — NINE! — straight, while winners of six of their last seven, the Dallas Stars, may have finally turned the corner....
