“It’s really important that we show up here to work at the Capitol to do our job as we’re calling on Americans all across the country to safely reopen,” U.S. House Minority Whip Steve Scalise (R-Louisiana) told reporters Wednesday. “This is not constitutional. The Constitution makes it clear that we have to have a majority of members present for a quorum to do business.” The move complicates a dilemma House members had tried to solve: How to conduct business while reducing lawmakers’s risk of catching COVID-19....

Flooding has become a major problem in the Houston area, including the East Aldine neighborhood, where streets and waterways don’t drain well. In 2017, East Aldine residents fled their homes through chest-high water during Hurricane Harvey as they sought higher ground. The neighborhood was flooded again in 2019 during Tropical Storm Imelda. The working class, predominantly Latino neighborhood has not seen any of the federal relief funds promised to Texas following the estimated $125 billion worth of damage caused by Hurricane Harvey despite Houston and Harris County getting hit the hardest....

In Youngblood, players will don Da’at Yichud power suits as either the brash Jessica or the idealistic Sophia, B.J.’s twin daughters, who leave the U.S. for Paris to track down their missing dad, in what Jerk Gustafsson, executive producer at MachineGames, who worked in close collaboration with Dishonored developer Arkane Studios for Youngblood, describes as a “spin-off continuation of the story in New Colossus.” “The difference here is that New Colossus was a story that’s very dark, especially the part with B....

These changes tend to develop gradually as cell turnover and collagen production begin to slow. As the skin starts to thin, so, too, will the fatty layer cushioning the soles and heels. These changes can give rise to stability problems affecting the knees, hips, and lower back. The gradual wearing down of cartilage in the joint space, along with inflammation of bursa and tendons, only adds to the burden....

Pitched as a rival to budget trackers like the Fitbit Flex 2, the Honor Band 3 is lightweight, affordable, and hopefully dead easy to use. We’ve gone hands-on with the device at Honor’s European launch, and here’s what we think. Honor Band 3 hands-on review: Pricing and availability We don’t yet have a final release date for the Honor Band 3, but expect it some time soon – the Honor 9 phone announced at the same event is out already....

Models vary by region but there are those with the Core i5 and Core i7. I’ve tested the latter which features the same CPU found in the Huawei MateBook X Pro (2021). While the MagicBook was previously a mid-range laptop, the new top-end specs, and the accompanying price, mean it now has some stiff competition. Design & Build Externally, the new MagicBook 14 looks no different to the previous model we tested in late 2020 – and that was no different to the original....

RELATED: Horizon Zero Dawn: The 10 Hardest Trophies To Get, Ranked For the most part, the supporting cast isn’t the most engaging compared to other similar games. However, there are certain characters that do evoke reactions out of fans. Some of them are either outright hated or are simply uninteresting. Others are worthy of contributing to the story in the sequel. While five of these characters could very well be seen in Forbidden West, fans generally agree they’d rather not be present....

Fans have already begun sharing screenshots of their Aloy donning this distinguished Face Paint, which does not feel at all out of place in Horizon Forbidden West’s world with tribal garments and aesthetics. It blends in with the game’s other Face Paints appropriately while still paying tribute. Pride has certainly been celebrated in other games, but the nuance of Horizon Forbidden West’s Mark of Pride cosmetic should be celebrated for its ingenuity in how it was able to creatively translate the flag’s colors into a meaningful and unique design....

After the first gameplay reveal trailer for the PSVR 2 exclusive Horizon Call of the Mountain, Narrative Director Ben McCaw announced that Horizon Forbidden West will be getting a major update that will finally be bringing many appealing new features to the game and a fan-favorite game mode: New Game+.

One such player is seen in the video below climbing to the top of the mountain in the center of the map, above the game’s main hub area, and discovering something about the Tallnecks that are visible in the distance. Tallnecks in Horizon Forbidden West are the sometimes elusive and highly prized method by which the main character, Aloy, unveils more sections of the game’s vast map as she traverses post-apocalyptic western America....

Horizon Zero Dawn was a huge boon to the PS4, met with rave reviews and receiving many awards and award nominations around its 2017 release. Aloy shot to fame with her game’s success, and she immediately became a face of the PlayStation that could rival Sony mainstays like Kratos. Horizon Forbidden West is set to come out in the second half of 2021, and it’ll be a big deal for Aloy’s place at Sony....

It has been confirmed that the PC edition of Horizon Zero Dawn will include some specific upgrades for PC players to ensure the game can run effectively on computers. Features such as unlocked frame rates, graphical customization and controller options will be included on the PC version allowing players to fully load out their experience to their liking. The PC release will also be the complete edition of Horizon Zero Dawn and will include the Frozen Wilds story expansion and all the other DLC launch content in one purchase....

Liberty completed an $8billion takeover of F1 in January 2017 as long-term boss Bernie Ecclestone was deposed. But Horner has not been entirely impressed with the alternative approach taken since Ecclestone departed, believing Liberty has been too accommodating to some parties. This came after the Formula One Promoters’ Association, representing 16 of the sport’s venues, last week outlined its concerns about television deals and the introduction of new events....

If you play with an immovable, 6-10 beast of a man on the block at all times, your opportunities to drive will be limited. Far too often this season, Hornets point guard Kemba Walker has been relegated to the perimeter, a slasher devoid of lanes through which to penetrate. MORE: Hornets lose Jefferson for four weeks | LeBron rehabs in Miami | Black History Month collection But that changed over Charlotte’s past four games....

The hook of Perception is that Cassie may be blind, but can still see thanks to echolocation - as she walks, she taps her cane to reveal the game world bit by bit to the player controlling her. The trailer below gives the audience a taste of what this will look like and it promises to be absolutely terrifying. The Deep End Games has combined a very dark aesthetic with this slow reveal of the world to create a truly new way of dealing with shadows and gloom....

The horse, known as Wizard, had wandered onto the property in Grendon, England after it found its way through a broken gate in an adjacent field. According to the Northamptonshire Fire and Rescue Service, officials from Moulton and Wellingborough were called to the property at 12:33 p.m. local time on February 3 and saw Wizard inside of the 4-foot-9-inch empty pool. Wizard simply couldn’t escape the pool on its own....

A slumping Hoskins launched a tiebreaking home run in the eighth inning to make Nola a winner, and Philadelphia edged the New York Mets 4-3 on Friday night. “Rhys’ homer was huge. Man, was that enormous,” Phillies manager Gabe Kapler said. “It injected a lot of life, it injected a lot of enthusiasm into the dugout.” Carlos Santana lined an early two-run shot for the Phillies, who trail Atlanta by 2½ games in the NL East....

Atmosphere: Located at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, the hotel was the former palace of a German architect friend of Romania’s King Carol I.
