McConnell tweeted about the $1.9 trillion package in what could be seen as a blow to efforts to win bipartisan support. President Joe Biden had previously expressed a hope that Republicans would come on board. “The partisan bill Democrats are preparing is stuffed with non-COVID-related liberal goals and more band-aid policies as if the country were going to stay shut down another year,” McConnell wrote. “We need 2021 to be different than 2020....

title: “Mixing It Up” ShowToc: true date: “2023-01-09” author: “John Fannin” For most of its history, the NBA included white stars–from Jerry West in the ’60s to Bill Walton to Larry Bird–who competed at the game’s highest levels. But when Bird retired in 1992, the white NBA star appeared to be a dying species, with ageless John Stockton in the role of the last dinosaur. In 1998, for the first time ever, no white player was among the top 15 players honored as “all-NBA....

“We know that patients need a minimum amount of chemo, but a lot of people can’t survive this because of side effects, so they stop the treatment,” explains Elchanan Shaked, CEO of Cannabotech. Taking a Cannabotech supplement could shift the balance, claims the company. Cannabotech’s treatment, which has been studied so far in cell models, not only may reduce the amount of chemo treatments needed, it also seems to be up to six times more effective in killing cancer cells when used alongside standard chemotherapy — regardless of the dosage — compared to existing treatment, Shaked asserts....

But to get to opening day, we had to brave the offseason. And it was an offseason that didn’t feature a lot of star power on the free-agent market, so a lot of teams made a lot of moves to bolster lineups and add depth. There’s a lot that goes into grading a team’s offseason: their 2017 goals, where they are as a franchise, the market, the fan base, etc....

While mods have added characters from the Marvel and DC universe, official versions are not currently available. This should change in the near future, though, as DLC packs based on both properties would be guaranteed home runs. DC’s comics and animated ventures have kept the brand strong despite some live action struggles, while the incredible success of the MCU has made the Marvel universe more popular than ever. With games like Fortnite showing that both properties can coexist in the same game, Mojang should reach out to Marvel and DC to create some new cosmetics....

Between new mobs like frogs or the nigh-unstoppable Wardens, and Mangrove trees or proximity redstone emitters like the sculk sensor, The Wild Update should do well to flesh out Minecraft’s environments. Following up the two-part Caves and Cliffs update that changed mountain and underground terrain generation, it’s clear Mojang is interested in giving every part of the voxel-based world its due. Next on the list should be beach biomes, which were largely untouched during previous passes at oceanic content....
