Anzhi announced the transfer of the 27-year-old French international midfielder last week, the big-spending club’s highest-profile signing of the summer. Neither Anzhi nor Real has disclosed the value of the transfer, though Spanish media have reported a sum of 5 million euros. “I earn quite a lot. I’ve earned a lot of money before,” Diarra said at his official unveiling at RIA Novosti Monday. “But if you want, come to one of my matches and take a look at how I play, how I give my all....

This article will go over everything that you need to know about diastasis recti surgery. You will learn why it is done, what to expect when you have the surgery, and what the recovery will be like. What Is Diastasis Recti? Diastasis recti is a condition where a gap forms down the center of the muscles of your abdomen. If you’re pregnant, these muscles come apart in the later stages of pregnancy....

Tomey ended his 14-year stint in Tuscon as the Wildcats’ winningest coach of all time, going 95-64-4 from 1987-2000. He and his “Desert Swarm” defenses of the ’90s resulted in some of Arizona’s best years, which included nine winning seasons and a 4-3 bowl record. “Dick Tomey was never petty, never small minded,” his family said in a statement. “He was a man who discovered his mission in life, embraced it, enjoyed it, and accomplished amazing things....

“You would think so,” I said with as much diplomatic ambiguity as I could muster. I squeezed a little lemon over the shellfish. A couple of the oysters cringed. I was, yes, avoiding a fight. People believe what they want to believe. When you see a look of defiant expectation in their eyes, there’s only so much you can sensibly say or do, especially in a presidential election year, and especially if they’re relatives....

So why would the folks in the Bush White House be the least bit perturbed by publicity about the mind-boggling long-term costs of the war in Iraq that they rushed to wage? I don’t think they are, and I wouldn’t expect them to be. This is an administration that admits no guilt and knows no shame, and in that it is a perfect reflection of what America and Americans look like to the rest of the world....

The winning numbers for December 15, 2021, were 19, 20, 40, 42 and 59, while the Powerball was 15 and the Power Play was 3x. Last night’s drawing saw no winners of the jackpot, but one lucky player correctly guessed the five white balls, earning them the second prize, valued at $1 million. The winner purchased the Power Play option for $1, which raised their second-prize earnings to $2 million....

The new matchmaking criteria will be much more weighted to finding teams that are of similar Glory rank. A common complaint among players is getting matched against fully-stacked teams that are at a dramatically higher Glory rank, especially as players first enter into Competitive to chase some of the mode’s pinnacle weapons. Right now, Competitive is using skill-based matchmaking and seems to be heavily weighting similarly-skilled teams or players against one another....

Unfortunately, The Arms Dealer, which is the first of the Nightfall Strikes to be offered in the game, is broken. Many Destiny 2 players have taken to social media to complain that the Nightfall’s Prism modifier, which deals increased damage when players use the corresponding damage type, wasn’t clear enough. While the game does give players a message to let them know when the Prism damage type has changed, players said that it didn’t stay on-screen long enough and they often missed it as a result....

More recently, there was another hilarious meme incident that occurred when a Twitter user by the name of Destiny Pants Man got a comment under their tweet from the official Xbox account, asking them to make a Wyvern with pants on. The challenge was quickly met by the content creator who, despite the potentially misleading name of Destiny Pants Man, posts plenty of other memes as well, and the whole thing ended up with Bungie’s official Destiny 2 Twitter account replying to the tweets....

Speaking during a recent interview, Bungie’s PC lead David Shaw called the development of the PC version of Destiny 2 an “interesting situation.” Shaw explained that rather than Bungie “outsourcing” this version of the game, the company has developed a “true partnership” with Vicarious Visions, the developer behind the Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy as well as the Nintendo console ports of several Activision titles. According to the developer’s Wikipedia page, it has not released a game for PC since 2000’s Terminus and out of almost 100 games (excluding Destiny 2), just three have been developed for the platform....

Those interested in pre-purchasing the game on PC can do so exclusively through the Blizzard Battle.net application and website, a declaration that seems to negate previous reports that indicated the PC version of Destiny 2 would be coming to Steam. Pre-orders begin on August 28, the day before the PC open beta kicks off, and players who shell out the dough to pick up the game will gain 24-hour early access....

YouTuber AntarcticWildlife shared a video in which they performed a flawless run of the Vault of Glass encounter with Atheon, the raid’s final boss, with one player on the fireteam staying on their Sparrow for the majority of the encounter - only stepping down to throw up a Titan barricade to block enemy fire. Doing this revealed a surprising glitch, as the Sparrow-mounted player couldn’t be teleported by Atheon....

The mod in question is Powerful Friends, a mod that allows players to spread their “Charged with Light” status out to nearby allies whenever they receive the buff. These Charged with Light mods can be an important part of any build, and giving Destiny 2 players the chance to pass the buff onto allies can keep certain builds working with incredible synergy together.

Their status as a new weapon is largely what plays into this, but a key feature of the glaives is also their perks and abilities. Every weapon role brings something unique to the fight, and the impact new exotics will have in Destiny 2 once The Witch Queen releases will be noticeable, but the design of the glaives hints at something bigger. Each glaive serves a particular purpose for each of the three classes that players can pick from in Destiny 2, and much like the class-exclusive swords before them, they should have a degree of utility....

Destiny 2’s Beyond Light expansion introduced the first Darkness subclass called Stasis, which is an ice-based element that can be used offensively and defensively. As this expansion and subsequent subclass were advertised, it was heavily implied that Stasis is just the first of three planned classes to rival the Light. Stasis brought a different system for Aspects and Fragments, which have now been overhauled into a 3.0 version of the Void, Arc, and Solar subclasses....

The Arc 3.0 reveal came with no gameplay footage and developer commentary, which are likely coming in the August showcase or tomorrow’s TWAB. Still, one of the highlights is Bungie’s new vision for the Hunter’s Arcstrider subclass, which thus far has arguably been the worst in the game for PvE due to the restrictions of playing a melee Super that deals low damage. Along with a new Super called Gathering Storm, Destiny 2 Hunters will now get a popular ability back via the original Destiny’s Blink, filling a major power vacuum that existed since Forsaken....

One area where Bungie’s new approach has proven surprisingly effective: the ever-expanding arsenal of weapons and gear. Brand new exotics like the Bastion fusion rifle and the Devil’s Ruin sidearm made the current Season of Dawn the first update in the Destiny series since House of Wolves with entirely original exotic gear. With the rumored Season of the Worthy fast approaching, Bungie would do well to keep the trend going for the next wave of content in Destiny 2....

Beyond Light launched in November 2020, bringing new and old players to the same playing field with Stasis, an elemental manifestation of the Darkness. Its power is related to cold, utilizing slow and freezing methods to subdue and shatter enemies. At its core, Stasis is the cessation - the process of ending - movement on a macroscopic atomic level. Clovis Bray first encountered it on Europa, where he could not control it....

The most interesting change slipping into Destiny 2’s Season of the Drifter patch notes are the changes made to reserve ammo for two of the game’s most popular heavy weapons, the Sleeper Simulant and the Whisper of the Worm. Sleeper Simulant drops from 13 to a max of 9 without perks or the Masterwork, while Whisper of the Worm reserve ammo dramatically falls from a maximum of 20 down to 9 without perks....
