Also Saturday, the Predators placed captain Roman Josi on injured reserve. The 2019-20 Norris Trophy recipient is considered week-to-week with an upper-body injury. Nyquist, 35, has totaled 21 points (nine goals, 12 assists) in 57 games this season. Josi, 34, was injured after absorbing a hit from

The UAE, Saudi Arabia, and other Gulf countries are increasingly important in some of this focus on what happens next. By SETH J.

This is because it is in Hamas’s interest to keep the ceasefire going. Now that Hamas has emerged above ground and Gazans are seeking to return to a more peaceful life amid the destruction of the war, many people will want the ceasefire to continue. Hamas has shown flexibility. It always wanted a ceasefire, and it wanted to use the hostage deal to draw it

The Packers were outed as the team who made the proposed rules change for consideration by the NFL’s Competition Committee. “We’re not very successful against it, I know that,” Gutekunst said Tuesday at the NFL Scouting Combine. “To be honest with you, I haven’t put much thought into it. It’s been around for a while, we’ve used it in different fashions with our tight end

Chinas social-minded technopreneurs are a force to reckon with

Chinese President Xi Jinping and other senior government officials met a group of prominent Chinese tech entrepreneurs in Beijing last week.

The prosecution said on Sunday that Netanyahu had said repeatedly that he would be able to continue as prime minister and defendant.

(photo credit: Gideon Markowicz/POOL) Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s request to shorten the number of corruption trial testimony hearings each week is in contradiction with his demands for more and exhaustive sessions, the prosecution argued Sunday in a filing calling for the Jerusalem District Court to reject the Israeli leader’s petition.

The Chevrolet Equinox EV Peaks At 150 KW. Its Still Faster On A 250 KW Charger

The Chevrolet Equinox EV Peaks At 150 KW. Its Still Faster On A 250 KW Charger

Does it make sense to go for a 350 kW DC fast charger when the Chevy Equinox EV can only accept 150 kW? Tom Moloughney tried three different fast chargers to see if it made a difference. Surprisingly, the 250 kW charger had the shortest charging session, not the 350 kW stall. The Chevrolet Equinox EV offers a lot of bang for the buck, but it has a big drawback. Despite its high-voltage battery being described as a 400-volt pack, it’s actually under 300 V when the state of charge is low, and it never goes over 400 V even when it’s full. That’s for cell longevity, but it also means charging times are longer than what is expected of a modern EV. Theoretically, the maximum charging speed is 150

Russia ‘manufactured and amplified’ video claiming election fraud in Arizona: Officials The intelligence community is yet again sounding the alarm on a Russian “manufactured and amplified” video claiming election fraud in Arizona — and warned that the activity from Russia will likely focus on battleground states. “Since our statement on Friday, the IC has been observing foreign adversaries, particularly Russia, conducting additional influence operations intended to undermine public confidence in the integrity of U.S. elections and stoke divisions among Americans,” the FBI, ODNI and CISA said in a statement Monday night. “The IC expects these activities will intensify through election day and in the coming weeks, and that foreign influence narratives will focus on swing states,” officials added in the statement. Russia, according to the intelligence community, is the “most
