“Today, Sunday, November 15, 2020, is the most dangerous public health day in the last 100 years of our state’s history,” Inslee said during a news conference. “A pandemic is raging in our state. Left unchecked, it will assuredly result in grossly overburdened hospitals and morgues; and keep people from obtaining routine by necessary medical treatment for non-COVID conditions.” Inslee’s restrictions will encompass nearly all aspects of life in the state in an effort to slow the spread of the virus....

Bull Bullard and the rest of the squad were in Tegucigalpa, Honduras showing off their moves when Bullard went up for a two-hand jam. He hung on the rim as it began to tip over on top of him, resulting in a pretty scary sequence of events. Thankfully, Bullard is okay, say the Globetrotters.

But after the pre-Ashes ‘headbutt’ on Cameron Bancroft that put Bairstow at the centre of a media storm, the wicketkeeper has now shown off some of his on-field rugby ability. Following England’s 4-0 Test series defeat and ahead of the five-match ODI series that gets under way on Sunday, Bairstow has spent some time with NRL side Melbourne Storm. And the Yorkshireman - a fly-half in his youth - has proved himself more than capable from the tee, as you can see in this video posted on Bairstow’s Instagram…...

To the delight of the home fans, Australia’s Nick Kyrgios and Bernard Tomic took on each other in their first ever meeting on a tennis court. It did not come as a surprise when controversy erupted in the match - right on the very last point. Tomic, who is currently ranked 85 in the world, was the better player throughout the match. He broke the world No. 51 Kyrgios in the fourth game of the first set to win it 6-3....

His first two? Those came against RSL as well. After Joao Plata’s penalty canceled out Alan Gordon’s opener, Boateng regained the lead for the Galaxy in the 26th minute. Carving through the RSL back line with some skillful dribbling, the winger put himself in alone on Nick Rimando and slotted home. And he completed the double eight minutes later, blowing past Demar Phillips on the right flank and firing his low shot inside the far post to make it 3-1....

Lamb hit an incredible shot from beyond half-court at the buzzer to help Charlotte top the Raptors 115-114 in Toronto on Sunday. Lamb took an inbounds pass with 3.1 seconds remaining, but lost the handle. He chased the ball down five feet into the backcourt, turned and fired. The ball banked in for the improbable game-winner that stunned Raptors fans and sent the Hornets swarming Lamb. He finished with 13 points off the bench....

Machado charged the mound immediately after being plunked in the fifth inning and planted a solid punch on Ventura, who then tackled Machado to the ground. Your browser does not support iframes. Ventura likely hit Machado on purpose after Machado took extra time to stare at a deep fly ball to left field in his second at-bat, during which Ventura twice threw well inside the strike zone. The two had words as Machado, who had doubled in his first at-bat, went to the dugout....

Training ground footage shared on social media shows the 32-year-old taking time out from calling the shots to attempting them himself in fine style. Formerly a defender with 1860 Munich, Nagelsmann would have made a fine forward judging by his ability to find the net with a sublime sliced volley from behind the goal line. Nagelsmann, the youngest permanent head coach in Bundesliga history, has forged a highly promising career in the dugout since a knee injury forced him to quit playing at the age of 20....

The footage was obtained from the People’s Militia of the pro-Russia, so-called Donetsk People’s Republic (DPR) on Wednesday, with the DPR claiming that it shows the “combat training of artillerymen.” The so-called DPR claimed in a statement: “Self-propelled ‘Tyulpan’ mortars are one of the most formidable artillery systems in service with the People’s Militia of the DPR. Right in between the performance of combat missions, the mobilized servicemen of the [People’ Militia of the] DPR improve their skills in handling these powerful machines....

A new deepfake by video maker Ctrl Shift Face offers a glimpse from this parallel world: You can compare this latest deep fake to the original Silence of the Lambs with the trailer above. “Deepfakes are windows to parallel universes,” the video’s creator Ctrl Shift Face says on their Patreon, describing deepfakes as an “AI driven face swapping method utilizing deep neural networks.” Combining the machine learning concept of “deep learning”—which uses automated networks modelled on the relation between neurons in animal brains to autonomously process large data sets in interesting new ways—with, well, “fake” stuff, deepfakes can be trained to flawlessly replace one likeness with another....

One of the most touching moments of the Francis Ngannou’s return home came when Ngannou embraced his mother and placed his UFC heavyweight title on her shoulder. Fans can watch the wonderful moment in the social media posts embedded below – The Predator has often asserted that he started his combat sports career with the goal of becoming a world champion.

Although apparently unhurt, the cow had been stuck for several days before its owner called emergency services in Meduno, a commune in the province of Pordenone, Italy. Firefighters and rescuers from the Alpine River Spelunking team located the cow on Monday after battling their way through dense vegetation. They also removed fallen rocks that had trapped the cow and stopped it from finding its own way out. Even when freed, the cow would not allow firefighters to lead it along an escape path and a decision was made to airlift it out of the ravine....

And those Wales fans out in France for the biggest game in the country’s history have been asked which of the two attackers they prefer. Watch their choices in the video above.

So it shouldn’t come as much of a surprise that it took three Dagestani wrestlers to pin the former two-division UFC champion during wrestling practice. Daniel Cormier trains with Khabib Nurmagomedov and other Dagestani fighters under the tutelage of head coach Javier Mendez at the American Kickboxing Academy. Mendez uploaded a video to his own YouTube channel, JavierMendezAKApodcast, in which Cormier can be seen being overpowered by three Dagestani teammates....

Aprianna Lukie from Greenwood, South Carolina, shared footage online of her daughter Z’Naria getting herself out of her baby seat and climbing into the front of the car to open the door after being locked inside with the keys still in the ignition. The American Automobile Association estimates that around four million drivers in the U.S. lock themselves out of their vehicles every day. But while it’s one thing to leave your keys inside a locked car, it’s a whole other ball game when a young child ends up stuck inside the vehicle as well....

As seen in the video below, O’Brien and Hader play through portions of God of War, with the two comic minds providing a running commentary of wisecracks about the game’s overall story that mostly focus on its father and son dynamic. While the TV personalities’ wits in the clip are well-worth watching, as the jokes and pacing are reminiscent of the riffs found in the show Mystery Science Theater 3000, it’s important to note that a major spoiler crops up after the 7:30 mark....

Earlier today, Watch Dogs 2 Game Director Danny Belanger was asked if a non-lethal playthrough was even possible in the game, and he responded with a very positive affirmation that it was – and it was all thanks to the prerogative of the game’s design team to make it that way from the very beginning. Here’s the direct statement from the man himself: Of course, players who wish to go ham in regards to firearms are still able to do so, and Belanger just wanted to emphasize that there will always be a non-lethal route to complete the game – even if it makes the experience more difficult....

By Solo, Chewbacca is a one-hundred-and-ninety-year-old Wookie. Only nine years earlier he was fighting in the Clone Wars with Ahsoka Tano and Yoda, where he was distinguished for rescuing the Jedi Master from Order 66. The Galactic Empire enslaved Kashyyyk and Chewbacca found himself fighting in a mud pit for food. It was here where his life intersected with the young Han Solo, for the worse. After their escape from the Empire’s fighting pit, Han Solo convinces Chewie to join a group of strangers in a high-stake heist for the gang Crimson Dawn....

The accusation comes from an anonymous source close to Ubisoft who claims that the developer had cut a deal with Microsoft to ensure the PlayStation version didn’t look sharper or perform better than it did on the Xbox One. The Division was somewhat infamous upon its initial release for graphical downgrades, with many gamers upset that it didn’t look as sharp as it did during the first E3 demo. This is simply salt in the wound for gamers that were disappointed by The Division’s visuals, especially considering the fact that the assets for the E3 effects and environmental details were later found in the PC version’s files, which was also the case with Watch Dogs, another Ubisoft game....
