With Nguyen himself citing stress that stemmed from Flappy Bird’s popularity and addictive nature as a reason for the removal of super-profitable app, friends and sources claimed that he didn’t want to run the risk of being slapped with a lawsuit from Nintendo, due to their games’ similar art styles. Regardless of the reason that Flappy Bird was taken down though, the game’s removal left has left a huge gap in the app market that, as a new survey suggests, hundreds, if not, thousands of developers are still looking to fill....

Those who don’t have family in the U.S. are meant to be transferred to an official state facility, the Associated Press reported. However, the average time unaccompanied minors spent at the emergency shelters was 37 days as of this week, according to the HHS data.

Rock had made a joke during his opening monologue about Pinkett Smith’s baldness by saying she was getting ready to star in “G.I. Jane 2.” Pinkett Smith suffers from alopecia, which results in hair loss. Shortly after the joke Smith stepped up on stage and slapped Rock, telling him to “keep [his] wife’s name out of your f***ing mouth.” Smith later apologized to the Academy and his fellow nominees for the incident, and made reference to Richard Williams, Serena and Venus Williams’ father who he played in King Richard and won the Best Actor nod for....

Twelve years after the fall of the Berlin wall, the Museum of Communism has opened to remind them of what the old life was like. Now Czechs–and tourists–can take a break from the world of high-speed travel, hypermarkets and start-ups to visit a chilling reproduction of an interrogation room, complete with ancient typewriter and brightly shining lamp, where the secret police forced people to sign confessions. Stanislav Stransky, chairman of the Czech Association of Former Political Prisoners, says the museum is an important step toward helping the country come to terms with its past....

Zachary’s discussion of the team’s war against bugs in the system among them the potent-lethal “showstoppers”–might be tedious were it not for his adeptness at portraying the human drama behind the undertaking. In one poignant vignette, he describes how the 7-year-old son of an overworked team member promised to throw away all his toys if only his father could stay for a Saturday-morning soccer game. (The father took the morning off....

According to Travis Sawchik of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, Burnett already received his first platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injection and could return in four weeks. MORE: Why your team’s fan base is freaking out this week Burnett was placed on the 15-day disabled list on Friday with inflammation in his right elbow.

“Unlike other (products), this doesn’t give you a real full feeling,” Green told Sporting News during a telephone interview Tuesday. “It tastes great and sits well in my stomach.” The same couldn’t be said of Cincinnati’s 2017 season for Green, the rest of the franchise or a downtrodden fan base that is gassed from supporting a club without a playoff win for 27 seasons and counting.

The R&B and hip-hop artist said she wanted to be remembered as a good person after she was “long gone.” Aaliyah, who would have turned 44 on Monday, died in a plane crash on August 25, 2001. The “Try Again” singer had been in the Bahamas filming a music video for her song “Rock the Boat.” A resurfaced MTV interview was shared on Twitter by a fan. In it, Aaliyah said she wanted to be known as a rounded entertainer who could “do it all....

A player representative from each team voted on the new Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) on Tuesday, and two big names—Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers and San Francisco 49ers defensive back Richard Sherman—voted “no” for the new CBA. Player reps collectively voted 17-14-1 in favor of the new CBA, and now the proposal will be sent to the players union, which has 2,000 members. If passed, then part of it could go into effect this year, like adding an extra playoff team for each conference, which would eliminate the first-round bye for the No....

According to The Times of India, de Villiers said: “Parthiv is the most irritating cricketer in the world. He chats all the time. I’m glad I’m playing with him rather than against him.” Asked whether he found Parthiv “most irritating” while batting or behind the stumps, de Villiers replied: “At all times.” In reply, Parthiv said:”Yuvraj, when in the opposition, used to tell me I was getting under his skin....

The uncertainty caused by the COVID-19 pandemic has also affected De Villiers’ decision to play in the BBL. We would like to keep working with AB de Villiers when circumstances allow: Darren Lehmann Brisbane Heat coach Darren Lehmann accepted that the absence of AB de Villiers would be a huge blow to their team.

While confirming that his body was a concern these days, the 31-year-old insisted that none of his desire to play for South Africa had diminished, rather suggesting that he would not be part of tournaments like the IPL anymore. He told host broadcasters SuperSport: “There are a lot of rumours flying around I hear, but for the last two to three years the only talk I’ve been doing is to keep myself fresh and to have a bit of rest here and there....

According to the official Blue Box Game Studios website, the highly anticipated patch for the Abandoned real-time experience app should be ready for download in “a few hours.” This news comes after the patch was officially delayed two days ago into an unspecified time frame.

The FBI search on Monday appeared to be part of an investigation into whether the former president took classified records from the White House to his Florida residence, according to reports. Trump disclosed the raid in a lengthy statement, calling it a weaponization of the justice system and an effort to keep him from running for a second term in 2024. Abbott, a Republican running for re-election, slammed the raid as “next-level Nixonian....

The Premier League champions have already failed in attempts to secure Romelu Lukaku from Everton after the striker chose Manchester United in a £75 million move. Strootman wants no more Roma sales after Rudiger The Blues have managed to snap up defender Antonio Rudiger from Roma, who joined from Roma in a £34m deal on Sunday. Dalla Bona spent three years at Chelsea and he thinks that although Rudiger is a good signing, his old side need more players to keep Conte happy as they look to compete in the Champions League next season....

This was in November 2017, and Abramovich was alarmed by a rise in anti-Semitic incidents, particularly in Britain — and even in his own stadium. Rather than just focusing on trophies, the Premier League club’s Jewish owner believed Chelsea could be a force for social change, to transform the minority of fans hurling abuse at Stamford Bridge. “We’re just sitting, talking … and he brought up what he had noticed and what he was concerned about,” Chelsea chairman Bruce Buck recalled in an interview with The Associated Press, “and of course everyone said he’s someone that can do something about it....

Put in to bat first by Shane Watson, the Tigers were dealt an early blow as Andre Fletcher was sent back in only the second over. However, a 12-ball 26 from Rilee Rossouw and a 21-ball 37 from Colin Ingram set the platform for the Tigers to put up 108-5 from 10 overs. However, Watson (25-ball 41) and Anton Devcich (11-ball 27) yet again starred for the Gladiators as their 62-run stand and a handy unbeaten 8-ball 15 from Daniel Lawrence helped the Gladiators chase down the 109-run target with one ball to spare....

A sublime Lorenzo Insigne strike and a clever finish from Jose Callejon were enough to give Maurizio Sarri’s side all three points, despite Juraj Kucka’s finish just before half-time. Napoli went into the game with only one defeat in 11 league matches against Milan and struck twice before the 10-minute mark thanks to two brilliant moves, with Dries Mertens at the heart of both. Mertens wasted a good chance for a third before Kucka pounced on some slack defending to get a goal back, giving Milan hopes of coming back from 2-0 down for the second Serie A match in a row....
