Republican Gov. Tate Reeves told reporters on Monday it was crucial that at least 80 percent of people wore masks, describing it as “the best weapon we have right now,” in mitigating against the disease which has infected more than 36,000 people in the state. On the same day as his executive order came into effect compelling people to wear masks at public gatherings in 13 counties hardest hit by the disease, Reeves said in a Twitter thread that herd immunity to combat the disease would be impractical....

With his team needing 19 runs to win off the last over, the giant-like all-rounder unleashed a barrage of sixes on England bowler Ben Stokes to seal a victory for West Indies at the Eden Gardens. It was a dramatic finish to a match which the men from the Caribbean were most likely to lose after a largely average batting performance. Brathwaite described the shot in an interview with ESPNcricinfo by saying, “The third one was the best of the lot....

In recent days, McConnell indicated that he has held discussions with the White House to formulate an impeachment game plan to achieve a favorable outcome for Trump. “Everything I do during this, I’m coordinating with the White House counsel,” the senator told Fox News host Sean Hannity late last week. “There will be no difference between the president’s position and our position as to how to handle this.” The Republican also revealed that he will be working in “total coordination with the White House counsel’s office and the people representing the president in the well of the Senate....

Even with some of the top streamers live streaming on Mixer, it’s still losing to Twitch in terms of live stream viewers. Some partners have been expressing their discontent with the platform’s policies as of late. One of the biggest issues that has been plaguing the platform for a very long time is the 24/7 streams, where a streamer goes AFK with their stream set to some radio station. These types of 24/7 streams are labeled as Spark Farms, where viewers can simply farm “sparks,” which is Mixer’s virtual currency....

The downfall of the 73-year-old prime minister was caused by his inability to pass a bill reforming Japan’s endemically corrupt political system. “If we don’t do it,” he had said, “we are all going to sink in a mud ship.” But in the end he had to walk the plank. Tainted by scandal himself, Miyazawa could not persuade his party’s power brokers to change the sordid system that got them where they are....

Brute or courtier, General Mladic is indisputably Bosnia’s new kingpin, a man so ruthlessly dedicated to Serb nationalism-and so acute in his political calculations–that the Clinton administration may soon miss the days when President Slobodan Milosevic was considered the Serbs’ most dangerous man. Mladic’s military success has given him the clout to dictate policy, over the heads of both Milosevic and Serb party leader Radovan Karadzic. Mladic’s denunciation of the Vance-Owen plan as a Croat-Muslim plot may have swung the Bosnian Serb parliament’s vote against the plan-and against Milosevic....

Minecraft’s Grass Block is something most gamers have seen often enough to become familiar with, even if they haven’t played the game. The green and brown block can be found abundantly in Minecraft, and is often broken down by beginners to build simple things, like a player’s first Minecraft shelter to get through the night. It makes a great choice for a Minecraft project, though most likely wouldn’t have thought of making something quite like this....

The decision comes after a 29-page investigation report by the Minecraft speedrunning team. The team concluded that part of Dream’s “incredibly lucky” speedrun was due to a modified game code.

Dream is used to defying the odds when it comes to Minecraft, but the Minecraft investigative team felt that this was a step too far....

In a blog post this morning, Mojang Studios Studio Head Helen Chiang announced that Minecraft surpassed 200 million copies sold, reaffirming its place as the best selling game of all time. It’s a staggering amount, nearly double that of the runner up, Grand Theft Auto 5, which has sold 120 million copies. Grand Theft Auto 5 is the most profitable entertainment product of all time, though, which makes sense due to its initial $60 price tag....
