Players can see exactly how much stamina their characters have by looking at the information panes at the bottom of the screen, and all combat actions consume some amount of it. More specifically, attacks consume one, two, or three points of stamina, depending on the number that a player selects after choosing to attack, and elements always consume seven points....

Here, AFP Sport looks at three things to watch out for in the Premier League this weekend: City with a score to settle =========================== The champions hold just a two-point lead over Chelsea and Liverpool at the top of the table, but have looked relentless in recent weeks and shown no sign of a slip in standards from their record-breaking 100-point Premier League campaign of last season, scoring 12 times in their last two outings alone....

To note, this Civilization 6 Natural Wonder tier list attempts to consider many factors beyond simply the specific bonuses tied to each of these special terrain features. For instance, Natural Wonders that appear in Desert regions (the Delicate Arch, Eye of the Sahara, Sahara el Beyda, and Uluru) have been ranked quite low due to this type of terrain being less than ideal for settlement. Things do change a bit if a player is utilizing John Curtin of Australia as their Civ 6 leader, but generally Desert Natural Wonders are not highly-desirable....

The base strength of a city, which dictates everything from how fast it grows to how much it can produce, lies in its surrounding tiles, and the Improvements that are built on them. No city should be settled without first looking at which tiles it will cover, and once a Builder has been produced it can be a difficult decision working out which to improve.

As Classroom of the Elite season 2 approaches its finale, the story wraps out the current arc in groundbreaking ways. Season 2 started with Ryuen holding a critical eye over Class 1-D, especially after their shocking exploit in the Island Test arc. Since then, the plot has focused more on the scuffles between Class C & D, with Ryuen trying to unearth the identity of Class D’s mastermind. To achieve his goal, Ryuen didn’t flinch at resorting to detestable tactics such as putting pressure on Class D members and bullying Karuizawa in a despicable manner....

At a press telebriefing on Wednesday Cindy Friedman of the CDC’s travel branch said the safest option was to postpone winter travel during the upcoming holidays and stay home, much like over Thanksgiving. She said that the volume of travel over Thanksgiving was high, and even if a small percentage of those individuals were sick it would translate into hundreds of thousands of infections. Jennifer Dowd, associate professor of demography and population Health at the University of Oxford, U....

Democrats are pushing through President Joe Biden’s $1.9 trillion package using reconciliation, which allows them to progress the bill without Republican support. The Senate passed the package last week, with a vote split along party lines. The amended bill has returned to the House, which is due to vote on it on Wednesday. McConnell criticized the package on the Senate floor, branding it “very liberal and purely partisan.” The Kentucky senator and other Republican lawmakers have criticized the use of the reconciliation process to pass Biden’s relief plan....

Democrats have been battling over the future of the bill with progressives within the party who are holding on to the bill’s original $3.5 trillion price tag. But in an effort to get the bill through Congress, more moderate party members are proposing lowering the sum to $2 trillion. Biden’s deal entails Democratic initiatives, including new options for social services, expanded health care, child care, education and climate change mitigation strategies....

In the first study, researchers followed 32,000 female nurses for 12 years, periodically checking their smoking habits and health status. Those puffing at least 25 cigarettes a day suffered two and a half times the AMD rate of those who had never smoked. Women who had quit still developed the condition at twice the rate of those who had never smoked. The second study tracked 21,000 male physicians and found a similar pattern....

Nobody likes having a foreclosed home in the neighborhood. But having multiple abandoned buildings in such close proximity—particularly in a part of Boston known for crime and drugs—is especially bad news. It’s a problem that’s affecting many big cities across the country, and one more way in which the subprime mess isn’t just an accounting abstraction but a growing social problem. By last fall, police were getting dozens of calls about crimes on Hendry Street....
