The model reviewed here is the cheapest UK option, and five other models take the price up to £2,051 with specifications that offer Core i7 CPUs, more memory and larger SSDs....

It’s factory calibrated to deliver 99% sRGB out of the box which means you can expect accurate colours for photo and video work, but the sheer amount of desktop real-estate you get with the 21:9 aspect ratio means this can almost replace dual monitors. The U3419W is primarily aimed at those who need accurate colours for photo and video work, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t buy it for home use....

Currently, eligible medical volunteers can book round-trip flights to Georgia, Louisiana and Michigan, for free, but Delta is considering adding California, New York and Washington to the list. The medical volunteers will work with state and local government offices and be deployed to hospitals in areas that have been most affected by COVID-19. The three states that Delta will fly medics to for free each have thousands of coronavirus cases....

However, it’s too early to say whether this strain could be more evasive to immunity than Delta and it also doesn’t appear to be taking over as fast as Delta did from Alpha. The variant, which has been given the label AY.4.2, appears to have branched off from the Delta AY.4 sub-variant by gaining two mutations known as Y145H and A222V. Both have been seen before in previous COVID variants but at low frequencies....

Rival airlines are mandating vaccines after a recent order by President Joe Biden requiring federal contractors to vaccinate their employees by December 8. Delta is among the major U.S. carriers to qualify as a federal contractor because of government contracts to provide airlift flights. However, Delta continues to offer regular testing as an alternative, although it will impose a $200 monthly surcharge on unvaccinated employees enrolled in the company’s health care plan from next month....

After signing with Golden State as a free agent, the four-time All-Star center has no doubts he’ll finally find both, and that those will help dispel the notion that he’s a bad teammate. “Just a chance to play for a winning culture,” Cousins said Thursday. “I also have a chance to play with some of the most talented players of this era. Those two things alone, that pretty much sums it up....

“We talked for a quick second. I told him ‘Thank you for what you’ve done for my family,’ for giving my mother clemency,” Thomas said (via the team’s website). Thomas’ mother, Katina Smith, was sentenced to 20 years in prison in 2000 for cocaine distribution. She was granted clemency by Obama along with 46 other non-violent drug-related offenders last year, which led to her returning home two years before her scheduled release in 2017....

The WBO middleweight champion dropped Luke Keeler twice before eventually securing a ninth-round TKO at the Meridian at Island Gardens in Miami on Thursday of Super Bowl week. Andrade (29-0, 18 KOs) defended his title for a third consecutive time. He then called out stiffer competition — WBO super middleweight champion Billy Joe Saunders. Join DAZN and watch more than 100 fight nights a year “I want to go up to 168 (pounds), fight Billy Joe ‘Joke-Ass’ Saunders my next fight, and that’s what I’m looking to do,” Andrade told DAZN in his postfight interview....

Host Anderson Cooper, in his final question on the night, said: “Last week, Ellen DeGeneres was criticized after she and former President George W. Bush were seen laughing together at a football game. Ellen defended their friendship, saying, “We’re all different and I think that we’ve forgotten that that’s OK, that we’re all different.” “So in that spirit, we’d like you to tell us about a friendship that you’ve had that would surprise us and what impacts it’s had on you and your beliefs....

The remaining 10 candidates of the 20 who qualified for the debates, based on garnering at least 1 percent in three polls and 65,000 individual donors, will take the stage at the Fox Theater for about two hours. Candidates were split up more evenly than in the first debates hosted by MSNBC late last month. CNN will broadcast the debates live on television, and provide a live stream at CNN....

Appearing on Fox News, the U.S. senator from West Virginia said he would “not vote” with Democrats on those key issues if the Senate were split down the middle—effectively offsetting Kamala Harris’ deciding vote as vice president. Speaking to Special Report with Bret Baier, Manchin said: “If both of the Georgia senators were elected from the Democratic Party, then that would be 50-50, if both Dan Sullivan and Thom Tillis win....

Their pleas for amounts ranging from $5-$50 dollars came after hopeful Cory Booker suggested he would have to drop out of the race if he didn’t bump up his campaign pot, and as other less popular candidates face the challenge of meeting fundraiser thresholds set by the DNC, The Associated Press reported Tuesday. “If you are being outraised 3-to-1 by Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders or Joe Biden, you have no viable path to victory,” Rufus Gifford, Barack Obama’s former finance director, told the AP....

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, in a letter to colleagues over the weekend, described the week as “a time of intensity,” describing the confluence of issues coming to a head in the coming days. “The initiatives of the Build Back Better Act are ones in which President Biden takes a great pride, which House and Senate Democrats share,” the California Democrat wrote in her letter announcing a caucus meeting Monday evening....

Thanks to several occasions where Norman Reedus has candidly spoken about stepping back into Sam Porter Bridges’ boots, there’s a growing list of reasons why Death Stranding 2 could be real. If Hideo Kojima walks onto a stage in the near future to announce the sequel though, there are several games he’d do well to reveal he’s taken inspiration from features-wise. One the biggest the iconic director should be looking at is arguably FromSoftware’s Demon’s Souls....

The first edition of the Under-13 School League has been organized with the enthusiastic participation of 32 school teams. 10 of these teams are from government schools (who have been trained by CEQUIN), while the rest are from private schools, making this a truly inclusive initiative. The league will feature a total of 384 players divided into 4 zones. Prominent schools have come forward to support as venue partners, including Sanskriti School, Tagore International School and Maharaja Aggarsain Adarsh Public School....

In a viral Reddit post published on r/AmITheA**hole, Redditor u/FeelingElegant9514 (otherwise referred to as the original poster, or OP) said she was expecting a seamless sofa swap until two crew members decided to pull a prank at her expense. Titled, “Delivery gone wrong,” the post has received nearly 9,000 upvotes and 600 comments in the last 10 hours. “Last week delivery men were at my house to deliver a long awaited sofa,” OP began....

Chief among these is the new G7, a refresh of the company’s popular mid-range gaming laptop. Coming in a choice of 15 or 17in models, the most noticeable design change is a significant slimming of the bezels. From 9.9mm on the previous model, the smaller variant has a border of just 6.5mm, while the larger version is also down to 8.16mm. This should make for a more immersive gaming experience, complemented by 3D audio courtesy of gaming specialists Nahimic....

The Warriors are a professional sports franchise. Their entire purpose is to put the best team on the floor, night in and night out. They want to win every single game they play. We all understand that. But that does not make their dominance any easier to stomach from a fan’s perspective. This latest move only adds to the sense of helplessness — and, for many, anger — already permeating throughout non-Warriors fan bases....
