The Swiss star has been sidelined since Wimbledon last year, having undergone surgery in August. There were doubts the 2014 champion would be ready for the year’s first grand slam, particularly after he withdrew from the Tie Break Tens exhibition event on Wednesday. But Wawrinka, 32, confirmed on Saturday he had decided he would play the Australian Open. “For me, I think the fact that I’m here and I’m going to play the first one, it’s a big victory,” he said....

Gamers and Marvel fans alike have seen plenty of Spider-Man games. That said, longtime devotees still hold one in high regard. It’s an oldie but a goodie: Neversoft’s 2000 classic on the PlayStation and Sega Dreamcast. Simply titled, Spider-Man, this game pioneered many conventions which later titles would rely on.RELATED: The Best Spider-Man Video Games Of All Time, RankedGiven that, some might think it’s rendered obsolete by its more advanced successors, but that couldn’t be further from the truth....

ESA will now test the Orbiter’s ten science instruments and begin taking images of the sun using the six onboard telescopes. These will be released in mid-July after processing. “We have never taken pictures of the sun from a closer distance than this,” Solar Orbiter Project Scientist Daniel Müller said in a statement. “There have been higher resolution close-ups, for example, taken by the four-meter Daniel K. Inouye Solar Telescope in Hawaii earlier this year....

It was an ominous beginning to the Sharon era. Before the incoming prime minister had even formed a government, Palestinians seemed to be telling him in words and deeds that he would have to deliver more concessions than even his predecessor Ehud Barak had offered–or risk a widening conflagration. In the West Bank, the Jewish settlement Psgot came under withering gunfire Thursday night for the first time in six weeks; in Ramallah, hundreds of youths clashed with Israeli soldiers on Friday; the street battles included tank fire, and left several injured....

As communities across the country grapple with the effects of the opioid crisis and policymakers consider a potpourri of enhanced enforcement, harm reduction and treatment options to help bring it under control, it is instructive to look at how prior drug outbreaks finally drew to a close. In the U.S., the closest antecedent would be the 1980s’ crack epidemic, when the explosion of crack cocaine led to a sudden and dramatic increase in drug addiction, violence and death in many areas around the country....

We do not, for example, regularly test everyone for HIV; it’s clear in that case that the burdens can quickly outweigh the benefits. And yet, while most intuitively understand that we can’t regularly test everyone for every disease, acknowledging that there are tradeoffs is something many seem to be struggling with when it comes to COVID-19. Screening school children for COVID-19 is an obvious example of intervention where the harms appear to clearly outweigh the benefits....

Even Connecticut Rep. Chris Shays–a longtime war supporter who voted against the resolution Friday– said he will be willing to look at a “Plan B” for troop withdrawal if the situation doesn’t change very soon. “I think you need to start to see some noticeable differences in four months,” he says. “You need to see trend lines that are going up and not down.” What trend lines? A decline in violence, signs that the Iraqi troops are protecting Sunni neighborhoods and some diplomatic overtures by the administration to Syria in particular....

However, you will not be able to change the class of a particular character to anything you want. While in the menu, there will be a few options available, the rest of which will be locked, and the desired character will not be able to access them. To change a character’s class in the JRPG, you must have a specific weapon proficiency towards that class. For example, for a character to be able to shit their class to Sword Fighter, they will require a Weapon Proficiency of at least B in the Sword stat....

Playing matchups at this point in the season isn’t something that most fantasy owners will need to do. A select few might need to consider adding a different player to their squad (if Jimmy Garoppolo is your guy, he’s probably the one who gets the biggest downgrade), but typically in Week 1, you stick to what you have and give your QB1 a shot to prove what he can do....

A clip of an upcoming Season 8 episode shows him simply saying “no you’re not” after Yara disclosed the results of her pregnancy test. Fans know Yara and Jovi had once experienced a miscarriage, though it wasn’t featured on the show.

At one point in the video, presumably the soldier’s child comes into frame. “Daddy,” they say, but the father has his arms full of the giant dog.

Reddit loved the heartwarming reunion. “Dogs are so loyal and full of joy. They don’t forget people they love,” one person gushed....
