Uber Lyft To Bear Brunt Of Record High Gas Prices Labor Expert Predicts

While some hourly workers can cut down their driving time or carpool to offset the costs, drivers for ride-sharing apps, like Uber and Lyft, have no choice but to cough up the money in order to keep earning. “They’re the ones who not only have to drive to get to work, but drive for their work,” Adam Shah, the director of national policy at Jobs With Justice, told Newsweek....

Ubisoft Nintendo Wii 2 Will Be Extremely Successful

The Wii’s processing power and unique control scheme meant that developers really had to get creative when it came to developing content for the console. Straight porting of titles simply wasn’t possible because of the sheer difference in power between Nintendo’s machine and that of its competitors. Instead, developers had to invest in developing games from the ground up when they would release on the Wii. Naturally then, the development process of new titles for a new console would be a big concern for any large developer, but Ubisoft has made it clear that they feel bringing games to the Wii 2 will not be difficult....

Ubisoft Games We Need An Update On

Ubisoft is a company with a huge amount of IPs and franchises, some of which have been missing in action for quite some time. While Prince of Persia has been fairly dormant over the years, a Remake of the fan favorite Sands of Time is launching in 2021, with many hoping that this could lead to more down the road. Other franchises like Rayman and Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell haven’t been quite as lucky and remain in limbo leaving fans to wonder if they’ll ever resurface again....

U.S. Confirms Raid Against Isis In Syria Near Syrian Russian Frontlines

A separate U.S. operation hours later was said to have killed two more senior officials. The first confirmation of the back-to-back actions came to via U.S. Central Command spokesperson Army Colonel Joe Buccino who said in a statement shared with Newsweek Thursday that, “Last night, CENTCOM forces conducted a raid in northeast Syria targeting a senior ISIS official.” He said more information would be coming shortly. The target of the operation was then later identified in a follow-up CENTCOM statement as “Rakkan Wahid al-Shammri, an ISIS official known to facilitate the smuggling of weapons and fighters to support ISIS operations....

U.S. Mvp Rankings Bradley Needs To Improve Vs. Portugal

Michael Bradley, midfielder, Toronto FC. As I noted in my player ratings, Bradley had one of his worst games in a U.S. shirt against Ghana. So why is still he No.1? Because the results of his poor game were evident in how much Ghana controlled the play in between the U.S. goals. Bradley will need to be better if the U.S. hopes to get a result against Portugal. (Last week: 1)...

U.S. Navy Dismisses Claim China Drove Away Warship From Disputed Paracel Islands

The USS Benfold carried out a maneuver near the small archipelago earlier today, located east of Vietnam and south of China, which the U.S. Navy said was “consistent with international law.” Chinese authorities fired back at the move and claimed they were able to drive away the warship from the disputed islands. According to Reuters, China’s military said on Monday it “drove away” the USS Benfold, which Beijing claimed had illegally entered its waters....

U.S. Olympic Roster Howard Hurt Bishop Time Coming

If the issue, which is in the knee that forced Howard to miss time earlier this season, doesn't resolve itself by at the latest Feb. 11, USA Hockey will likely have to replace him on the Olympics roster with Tampa Bay Lightning goalie Ben Bishop. Howard left Monday's game with St. Louis after the knee stiffened up on him in the second period. He's also one of several Red Wings unlikely to play Friday against the Chicago Blackhawks; Pavel Datsyuk, Johan Franzen and Daniel Alfredsson are among the others....

U.S. Open Round 1 Birdies Bogeys

Birdie: Martin Kaymer. Kaymer doesn’t have history on his side, but he doesn’t seem to mind. Aside from the fact that no German has ever won the U.S. Open, only one reigning Players champion (since the event moved to May in 2007) has gone on to finish in the top 10 of the U.S. Open the following month. But Kaymer is looking to change that. He built a three-shot lead Thursday after making six birdies and just one bogey, with his 65 a new low in three Pinehurst U....

The oddsmakers certainly don’t, with the two-time defending champion installed as the betting favorite ahead of this week’s U.S. Open at Pebble Beach. In addition to taking the last two editions of the national championship at Shinnecock and Erin Hills, Koepka also has prevailed at the last two PGA Championships, winning last year at Bellerive and last month at Bethpage Black. There’s no denying the 29-year-old’s form, but he isn’t a runaway favorite heading into the third major championship of the year....

U.S. Sanctions Against Myanmar Could Hurt More Than Help U.N. Says

“We have consistently criticised the application of broad sectoral sanctions, with wide economic impacts, as overbroad and with disproportionate human rights impacts on the wider population,” U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights Office spokesperson Ravina Shamdasani told Newsweek. “Already vulnerable groups are at particularly high risk in that regard.” Much of Myanmar was already at risk before this week’s events. Divided across severe and sometimes hostile ethnic and religious lines, the Southeast Asian state has been economically devastated by the COVID-19 pandemic....

U.S. Scientists Repurpose Hair Conditioner Ingredients To Capture Airborne Droplets In Covid Battle

Agence France-Press (AFP) reported that the substance scientists have created can be applied to plexiglass barriers, effectively being able to capture respiratory droplets instead of having them bounce off and remain in the air as they do now. Because COVID-19 is transmitted primarily through respiratory droplets, the spread of the virus is quicker when an infected person sneezes or coughs. AFP reported that the main way to rid an area of these droplets is to open windows and use high-filtration systems for the air, but scientists have developed another added level of protection....
