The new year saw Lucien Favre’s bright young side falter just enough for Bayern’s know how to tell, with Niko Kovac’s men claiming a seventh successive top-flight crown. But it means the anticipation is for a memorable tussle once again this time around, with the processions of recent campaigns hopefully a thing of the past. Throw in an ambitious chasing pack and you have quite a spectacle. Before the first ball is kicked, five Omnisport journalists have put their necks on the line with some top-four predictions....

The Destiny Content Vault came about with the launch of the Beyond Light expansion, removing classic destinations like Io, campaigns like the Red War, and more. Many players are unhappy with the removal of content, though Bungie maintains that this is necessary for the longterm health of the game which can’t continue to keep expanding. With the Forsaken expansion the next piece of the game to get vaulted, many have also begun to worry about the fate of Bungie’s Anniversary Content and when that would be removed from the game as well....

Lightfall is the next major expansion for Destiny 2, serving as the penultimate chapter in the Light and Darkness Saga set to come to a close in The Final Shape. Players will venture to Neptune to explore Neomuna, a hidden city where an offshoot of humanity has thrived in the wake of the Collapse and managed to avoid the many conflicts which has engulfed the rest of the Sol System....

But that hasn’t stopped Bungie from teasing fans just a little about what is to come in what is the Destiny franchise’s most unique and beloved PvE endgame content. In a tweet, Bungie posted a gif from Destiny 2’s raid, showing a fireteam of six running through a hallway. Bungie has confirmed that Destiny 2 will have a raid, but the developer has been coy with any details. That shouldn’t surprise anyone, however....

There are three forms of Burkitt lymphoma: endemic, sporadic, and immunodeficiency related. Sporadic Burkitt lymphoma is the most common type in the United States. Between 30% and 50% of cancer cases in children in Africa involve the endemic form of Burkitt lymphoma. The endemic form is closely associated with Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infections. Some cases of immunodeficiency-related Burkitt lymphoma and sporadic Burkitt lymphoma also have links to EBV. This article will discuss the causes and risk factors of Burkitt lymphoma....

“Oh, wow… I don’t know what to say… I truly didn’t know about it,” Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) said after Newsweek told her of the revelation. “He’s been an excellent chairman of the committee.” The North Carolina Republican’s controversial stock market activity is under the microscope of federal authorities for potential insider trading for selling large sums in the run-up to the novel coronavirus pandemic tanking the stock market. The Los Angeles Times reported Wednesday night that the FBI—armed with a warrant—seized Burr’s cell phone, prompting the senator to temporarily surrender his powerful position....

We probably don’t have to rehash the problem with too much unilateralism, the subject of a Time magazine cover story this week, called “The End of Cowboy Diplomacy.” The article arrives at a conclusion that most sentient beings reached long ago: the old Bush doctrine, involving preemptive strikes against rogue regimes, is over and done with, and so is the policy of acting without caring what the rest of the world thinks....

At first glance, you wouldn’t think that the MyTablet costs £99. It has a similar design and level of build quality to a Nexus, with no obvious corner cutting. It has an 8in IPS screen, 32GB of storage and a quad-core Intel Atom processor. One of the reasons for the low price is that this tablet runs Windows 8.1 with Bing. This is a free version of Windows, which means there’s no cost for a manufacturer to install it on its tablet....

Something big, as it turned out. Acting on Bush’s order, American warplanes and their British allies had carried out the heaviest air assault on Iraq in more than two years. Later, at a shirt-sleeve news conference with Fox, Bush tried to pass off the attack as a “routine mission.” It was hardly that. During last year’s presidential campaign, Bush called Bill Clinton’s Iraq policy a failure. Now he was trying to come up with a policy of his own....

KKR are back in Ranchi again, but this time as the away side, and although geographically Chennai and Ranchi are far apart, at heart, the people of Ranchi have only one team they support. That team is led by the man from this city, the man who has put Ranchi on the cricketing map, Ranchi’s favourite son Mahendra Singh Dhoni. There is absolutely no doubt that the Chennai Super Kings will receive vociferous support because Dhoni has captivated the masses in Jharkhand, right from the time when the tiny Keenan Stadium in Jamshedpur played host to an India-England ODI, where Dhoni opened and blasted a 95, to the most recent game, in the CLT20 where Dhoni smashed an unbeaten 63 off 19 balls....

In the week since Halo Infinite’s Multiplayer Beta has been available, the general consensus is that for as great as the game plays, its external systems—its progression system and Spartan customization—are holding it back. 343 Industries has already started addressing the former issue, with updates arriving that increase the rate that players earn XP towards their battle passes. As for the latter problem, that remains a work-in-progress, with fans complaining over the lack of free Spartan armor pieces in the game, especially now that it appears there are no armor unlocks from Halo Infinite’s campaign....

A nosy grown-up who’s always hovering around. Quick to offer a teacher unwanted help. In big trouble. Usage: “Kevin’s in deep sneakers for skipping phys ed.” The administration building. Also, “the temple.” Talented and gifted. An ace pupil. Another repulsive parent. Sustained Silent Reading period. Students call it Sit down, Shut up and Read.

Team physican Brian Cole, the same doctor who performed Rose's ACL surgery, completed the procedure at Rush Hospital in Chicago. Rose hurt his knee on Friday night in the Bulls' game against the Portland Trail Blazers. Cutting down the right sideline, Rose was reaching for a backdoor pass when he was injured. At the time of the injury, Rose immediately limped toward the bench and did not return to the game....

Lokesh Rahul’s sixth half century in the IPL had nearly ended Mumbai’s run in the tournament before fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah (3-15) turned the match on its head in his return spell and restricted Punjab to 183-5. “I think Bumrah has come a long way in the past two years, worked really hard on his bowling,” Mumbai captain Rohit Sharma said. “Coming out there and bowling at set batsmen who are trying to finish the job — he’s doing it perfectly for us....

That feeling comes from Bungie stealth implementing skill-based matchmaking in Destiny in December, which the developer admitted and rolled back earlier this year. After many passes at adjusting the matchmaking, Bungie says the system is a combination of connection-based and skill-based matchmaking, with connections being prioritized most of all. To try to settle the debate, which seems to have picked up steam with fans once again, Senior Designer Derek Carroll took to Reddit and Twitter to explain:...

The hotfix will be part of Update 1.1.1.1, which goes live after tomorrow’s scheduled maintenance period. It will lower the recommended power level for the Prestige Leviathan Raid back down to 300, with rewards matching that power level. This will allow those who do not own Curse of Osiris to get the achievement for completing the prestige raid. The Leviathan exotic shotgun, the Legend of Acrius, will also be available to non-DLC owners as well....

With the Destiny Content Vault, Bungie will be able to remove legacy content that doesn’t get as much attention from players. During the Destiny 2 Year 4 Reveal stream, director Luke Smith said that activities and destinations are on the list of potential Destiny Content Vault candidates, but he had no further announcements to make at this time. RELATED: Destiny 2 Confirms Expansions for 2021 and 2022 There are certainly portions of Destiny 2 that don’t get as much attention, but removing content is likely to have some growing pains....

Thanks to the success of games like Destiny 2, Bungie has been growing massively as a developer. The studio has expanded, Destiny as a franchise is continuing to grow, and Bungie is working on new IP. The team members often communicate with their fans surrounding those games, but just today quite a few of them have tweeted out simply the word “BUNGIE” in all caps.
