Health Secretary Sajid Javid said on Saturday that he had been informed by the U.K Health Security Agency (UKHSA) of two cases of the Omicron variant. “The two cases are linked and there is a connection with travel to southern Africa,” he tweeted. “These individuals are self-isolating with their households while further testing and contact tracing is underway,” he added. In follow-up tweets, Javid said that as a precaution, additional targeted testing would take place “in the affected areas—Nottingham and Chelmsford—and sequencing all positive cases....

The new year has begun sooner than expected for Xbox users, as they can pick up the Xbox One game Little Nightmares and the Xbox 360 game The King of Fighters 13. Now it’s clear why Microsoft announced its January 20201 Xbox Free Games With Gold earlier than usual. Originally, these titles were set to be available on the January 1, but Microsoft has decided to push that date up slightly....

Yes, very. Americans who came of age in the 1960s were the first generation born in the shadow of the atom bomb; just awakening each morning was something to be thankful for. But they were also the first generation born into mass affluence, for whom material sustenance and comfort were a given, a situation that breeds spiritual hunger. So in addition to everything else the baby boomers were known for–political activism, sexual freedom, Yuppie careerism and a taste for expensive imported cheese–they have also distinguished themselves as what the sociologist Wade Clark Roof calls, in the title of his 1993 book, “A Generation of Seekers....

Balor returned to NXT when WWE took the show to Tuesday nights on USA Network in 2019. While there, he was able to earn his second reign with the NXT Championship. He has since returned to the main roster, enjoyed a reign as United States Champion, and joined the popular Judgment Day faction. Despite his accomplishments in WWE’s developmental brand, a run in NXT UK, near Balor’s native Ireland, never happened....

Balor appeared on the show to confront reigning NXT Champion Adam Cole and confirmed that he is back on the NXT brand, where he began his WWE career five years ago. Balor, a former NXT Champion, graduated to WWE’s flagship Raw brand in 2016 and quickly became the first-ever Universal Champion. “As of now, Finn Balor is NXT,” Balor said, crashing Cole’s victory lap after he successfully defended the NXT Championship against Matt Riddle....

The Chief Traffic Officer (CTO) said that Akmal had refused to stop the car when he was asked to slow down and produce the papers of his vehicle. Akmal then swore at the warden, identified as Zeeshan, and also threatened him. Akmal has, however, denied these claims, suggesting that he was getting late for a wedding and hence, was rushing inspite of being stopped by the warden. He further claims to have been slapped by the warden, which injured his face....

The company went into detail on what fans can expect in the latest Feh Channel update video. In a bit of a departure from the franchise’s typical sword and sorcery vibe, Book 5 takes Fire Emblem Heroes to the steampunk realm of Nidavellir, where magic and science have been fused together to create high-tech weaponry. The most prominent example of this is the horse-like battle mech known as Gullinbursti, which players can take into battle....

In these respects, Fire Emblem Warriors didn’t have much to offer fans. It took many updates for the series’ tactical gameplay to finally creep back in, and its function of bringing together various iconic Fire Emblem characters was better fulfilled by Fire Emblem Heroes, meaning the fandom was content to move to Fire Emblem: Three Houses. Now, Three Houses is receiving its own Musou spin-off titled Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes....

Usada made the announcement in an interview with Japanese publication Nintendo Dream. He explained that the 1080p, 30fps mode was still the intended way to play Fire Emblem Warriors. 1080p being the visual standard the game was built around and the 720p mode simply being an alternative added later. While Usada didn’t elaborate on the reasons for the 60fps mode’s addition, it’s likely because he just assumed it’s something fans wouldn’t mind having the option of....

Despite reports to the contrary, fans have remained hopeful that Square Enix would announce plans for further story-based adventures on the island - especially after Microsoft touted “Xbox 360 Timed-Exclusive” DLC for the Tomb Raider. Unfortunately, today’s announcement confirms that the ‘Timed-Exclusive" DLC is little more than three new multiplayer maps - a major letdown considering the multiplayer in Tomb Raider is the least compelling element of the game package....

To this I say: Ohio State is no different than the TCU, Boise State and Utah teams of the past. Teams with weak schedules trying to worm their way into the big game. And why? Because they can only play who’s on their schedule.

The FDA announced Monday that Apretude, ViiV Healthcare’s extended-release injectable preparation of the antiviral drug cabotegravir, had been approved for at-risk adults and adolescents weighting at least 77 pounds. Apretude offers an alternative to oral HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) medications that are already on the market.

A source told Sporting News that Brady isn’t expected to attend this year’s Kentucky Derby either, which takes place on Saturday, May 5. Brady had become a familiar face on Millionares Row. Even so, his absence from the nation’s most celebrated horse-racing event wouldn’t be as surprising as his decision to skip the opening of New England’s voluntary workout program earlier this month for a family vacation in Qatar....

The outgoing president has given no indication that he will concede to his Democratic rival and instead continues to hope that the election will actually prove to be his, and his baseless claims regarding voter fraud are proven. If Trump manages not to provide a formal concession during the remainder of his final two months in the White House, he will have broken a tradition which stretches back more than 120 years....

“Happy Hunger Games! And may the odds be ever in your favor!” is how the greeting that starts off the Hunger Games goes, but in Lionsgate’s new prequel Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes, whose title is a mouthful, the focus is on young love and not so much the teenaged bloodsport of the original novels in the smash hit series by Suzanne Collins. Lionsgate just dropped the first image from the upcoming Hunger Games film, showing Zegler and Blyth in the roles of the lovers present in the book, Lucy Gray Baird and Coriolanus Snow....
