As with its most obvious forebears, 1956’s Invasion of the Body Snatchers and its 1978 remake, the new science fiction chiller Little Joe initially toys with the genre’s traditional uncertainty: Is this creepy, impossible thing happening, or is it a product of the protagonist’s paranoia? In the case of the Little Joe flower, strange reactions reveals themselves in interviews with test subjects and in the demeanor of Alice’s son, also named Joe (Kit Connor), who has grown increasingly fond of his personal plant—taken against regulations from Alice’s lab at Plantworks....

Most of those losses came during the Brett Favre era, and we sketched out the type of juvenile behavior that led to over the summer before his induction into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Yet the seven playoff losses under Mike McCarthy have taken that to the next level. Green Bay had a 15-1 record wiped away on Jan. 15, 2012, in a 37-20 loss to the New York Giants....

Judge belted his 62nd home run of the year at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas, against the Rangers. He broke Roger Maris’ American League (and, for the first 40 years of it, major league) single-season record of 61. The historic blast came on a 1-1 count when Judge connected on an 88-mph slider from Jesus Tinoco, sending a 391-foot shot to left field against the Texas Rangers in the top of the first inning during the second game of a doubleheader....

To stop anaphylaxis, you will need to use an epinephrine autoinjector, such as an EpiPen, as soon as possible after exposure. You will then need to be monitored at the hospital to ensure your symptoms do not return. You cannot treat anaphylaxis with home remedies or over-the-counter medications. Once you are prescribed an epinephrine autoinjector, you should keep it with you at all times, just in case anaphylaxis reoccurs....

It seems that Anthem’s gear system will feature a few different rarities for players to chase after: Common (White), Uncommon (Green), Rare (Blue), Epic (Purple), Masterwork (Orange), and Legendary (Yellow). This is a fairly common array, and it should be similar to what players of other looter-shooters like Diablo, Destiny, or Borderlands can find in their respective games. Anthem will feature several loot tables that will reward powerful gear to players based on pilot level and the difficulty they are playing....

Disaster struck at the Houston festival fronted by Travis Scott last Friday when eight people in 50,000 strong crowd died in a crush at the NRG Park in the city, with scores more injured. Harrowing footage from the event has seen the blame game begin, with authorities saying the rapper should have stopped the show earlier with crowd safety experts citing a “whole bunch of failures” being the reason for the crush....

The bank, which is headquartered in Charlotte, North Carolina, also announced that it will require its vendors across the country to pay employees at least $15 an hour, more than double the national minimum rate of $7.25. This move will affect the companies’ 2,000 vendor firms across the U.S., which currently employ around 43,000 people. The bank confirmed on Tuesday that around 99 percent of the firms are already paying employees the $15 an hour rate....

When it functions effectively, this system depends on an ascending flow of information that works something like a food chain. At the lower reaches of this chain is the media. But after the recent revelations about Enron, WorldCom and other big-name companies, we are left asking how virtually the whole of the established press-never mind all the other wicket keepers of oversight that are theoretically watching over us-failed to notice that so many of America’s biggest corporations were financial houses of cards....

House of the Dragon was somewhat more dynamic in its presentation of King Viserys than the source material. Fire & Blood was written as a historical document with multiple sources. As such, the House of the Dragon characters and their motivations are more open to interpretation. When it came time to adapt the novel for the screen, however, there could only be one interpretation of the character. At times maddeningly frustrating and indecisive, while at others honorable and caring for his family, Viserys was explored more deeply in the series than in the novel....

As it has been disclosed, House of the Dragon is set 200 years before the events in the main Game of Thrones story, based mostly on the Fire & Blood novel that George R.R. Martin published in 2018 when his books and the series were at the apex of their popularity. Thus, House of the Dragon chronicles the events that led to the “Dance of Dragons”, during which House Targaryen became divided before falling into an all-out war between them that saw the mythical dragons almost go extinct....

Writing in an op-ed for Politico, Renato Mariotti argued that the Senate trial is likely to result in Trump’s acquittal without exploring all of the emerging evidence from individuals such as Lev Parnas, or potential significant testimony from others, such as John Bolton and Mike Pompeo. Senate Republicans want a swift trial and many will not even consider calling for new evidence or testimony beyond what was gathered during the House inquiry, and thus formed the basis of the articles of impeachment, until later on....

Data last month from the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) showed that across the country, house prices rose in April by 1.6 percent, compared with the previous month. But year-on-year figures showed the real scope of runaway house prices and the squeeze put on first-time buyers. The FHFA said values spiked by nearly a fifth (18.8 percent) and over the last two years, up by more than a third (34 percent)....

Opening week is usually disjointed and sloppy as players shake off the rust, and there was certainly an abundance of that on display. But there were also some good performances, some bad performances, and a record number of games as the 22-team circuit kicked off. (Our preseason MLS power rankings were voted on by Goal’s editors and writers. Comments written by Rudi Schuller.) 1. FC DALLAS LAST WEEK: 1CHANGE: —...
