TERRETON – A local hardware store is expanding its footprint in eastern Idaho. Rocknak’s Hardware is opening in Terreton next month. Store Manager Allen Newcomb tells EastIdahoNews.com the 8,500-square-foot store will open inside the old Mud Lake Market at 1391 East 1500 North in mid-March. “It’s kind of a maze in here right now. We got about 25 pallets of freight in this morning,” Newcomb says. A grand opening is in the works May 1. The store will be equipped with all the hardware items customers are familiar with, including power tools, housewares, plumbing, electrical, farming and ranching supplies. It will also include an automotive and outdoor/hunting/fishing section. A grocery section offering basic items like milk, lunch meat and canned goods will make it different than the Idaho Falls location. “We’ll have a freezer and refrigerated section, some canned (items). We just won’t have any produce or anything like that,” Owner Brian Rocknak says. Newcomb says the lack of grocery stores in Terreton is what prompted the addition of a grocery section. Convenience stores are currently the only option available to customers. “People are still going to do the bulk of their shopping in Idaho Falls … but for those things that you need right now, it’s a lot quicker to come here than to go there,” he says. Rocknak says having a building that had previously been used as a retail space made it ideal for adding grocery items. “It just worked as a retail business. It had the parking and big enough floor space to put our inventory in,” he says. There weren’t any plans to open a second location initially, but Rocknak says people in Terreton were requesting one. “The owner of the building approached us and we’ve had a lot of people from the community asking us to put a hardware store up there. We looked into it and there was an opportunity to do it, so we decided to take the risk and go for it,” Rocknak says. The conversation that set the project in motion took place in August. Mud Lake Market closed about two years ago. Rocknak’s first opened in 1996 at 2250 West Broadway in Idaho Falls. Rocknak says there are no immediate plans to open a third location. Newcomb is excited to open for business and begin serving customers. He’s hoping for a great turnout on opening day.

What you need to know Days Gone is a third-person survival game developed by Bend Studio and released for PS4 in April 2020. Today, Sony Interactive Entertainment CEO Jim Ryan shared that Days Gone is coming to PC in Spring 2021. Other PlayStation titles are also being ported over. ony Interactive Entertainment CEO Jim Ryan confirmed today that Days Gone and other PlayStation games are coming to PC later in 2021. Speaking with GQ, Ryan confirmed that Days Gone would arrive in later in Spring 2021, with more games to follow. When asked about the strategy for releasing these games, Ryan explained "There's an opportunity to expose those great games to a wider audience and recognise the economics of game development, which are not always straightforward. The cost of making games goes up with each cycle, as the calibre of the IP has improved. Also, our ease of making it available to non-console owners has grown. So it's a fairly straightforward decision for us to make." Days Gone is not the first title from Sony Worldwide Studios to arrive on PC, with Guerrilla Games' Horizon Zero Dawn ported back in August 2020. The sequel, Horizon Forbidden West, is expected to launch later in 2021. When asked about how Sony learned from bringing Horizon Zero Dawn to PC, Ryan said that "...people liked it and they bought it" with Sony continuing to take "mission steps in this direction." We'll be sure to share more when we learn the exact release date of Days Gone on PC, as well as what other PlayStation titles will be joining it. In her Days Gone review of the PS4 version, PlayStation lead Jennifer Locke wrote that " Days Gone is amazing for what it is: an open-world survival adventure that features a compelling main character and a surprising amount of heart at its center. Despite its faults, it's a terrific addition to PlayStation's outstanding exclusives portfolio."

Comme chaque année, Auto Plus dévoile le classement des voitures les plus volées en France. En 2021, c’est le DS 7 Crossback qui arrive en tête. C’est un véritable rituel, désormais incontournable à chaque début d’année. 2021 ne fait évidemment pas exception, alors que nos confrères d’Auto-Plus viennent de dévoiler le classement des modèles les plus volés en France au cours des derniers mois. Et si l’épidémie de Coronavirus a largement contribué à faire ralentir les vols, ce sont néanmoins quelque 330 véhicules qui ont été dérobés chaque jour sur l’ensemble du territoire au cours de l’année dernière. Un chiffre en baisse de 13 % par rapport à 2019, qui s’explique sans aucun doute par les différentes mesures sanitaires, entre les deux confinements et la longue période de couvre-feu qui se poursuit encore actuellement. Les occasions de dérober des voitures sont donc moins nombreuses pour les malfrats, alors que les automobilistes sortent moins, ne laissant donc désormais plus leur véhicule sur des parkings publics. Néanmoins, il convient toujours de prendre ses précautions, d’autant plus si vous êtes en possession de certains modèles attirant tout particulièrement la convoitise. Nous vous en parlions déjà il y a quelques mois, le DS 7 Crossback est en ce moment très prisé par les voleurs, au point d’atteindre la 1ère place du classement 2021. Fait plutôt étonnant en revanche, les Peugeot 3008 et 5008, ne se placent quant à elles respectivement qu’en 15 et 31ème position. Méfiez-vous également si vous êtes l’heureux propriétaire d’une Renault Mégane RS, une auto très alléchante pour les voleurs, de même que sa rivale, la Volkswagen Golf GTi. Les sportives restes en effet très recherchées, notamment les modèles allemands, avec les Audi S4 et RS 4 notamment. Mais globalement, aucune catégorie n’est épargnée, alors que figurent dans cette liste des modèles allant de la Peugeot 208 au Range Rover Evoque en passant par la Renault Laguna ou la Fiat 500 X. Pour réaliser ce classement, nos confrères réalisé une enquête d’envergure en contactant l’intégralité des assureurs, afin d’obtenir les données relatives aux déclarations de vols et ainsi déterminer les risques. Le mouse-jacking très plébiscité Comme le soulignent nos confrères, le piratage de clé, également appelé mouse-jacking est à l’heure actuelle la méthode la plus répandue, alors que 75 % des voleurs ont recours à cette dernière. Il est en effet très simple de s’équiper d’un boitier permettant de pirater votre véhicule et ainsi de l’ouvrir et de le démarrer en un clin d’oeil, sans infraction. Comme le soulignent nos confrères, il ne faudrait alors pas plus de trois petites minutes à un voleur pour dérober une voiture grâce à cette méthode, tandis que certaines autos ne nécessitent qu’une trentaine de secondes C’est notamment le cas de la DS 3 Crossback, qui pâtit d’un système d’ouverture sans clé défaillant. Mais le principal problème reste encore l’indemnisation pour la victime, alors que la plupart des assurances refusent cette dernière s’il n’y a pas de trace d’infraction. Pire encore, certaines compagnies vont même jusqu’à demander le remboursement à leur client s’il n’y a aucune preuve du vol une fois le véhicule retrouvé. Une vraie double-peine ! Si votre véhicule apparaît dans cette liste, ou si vous souhaitez tout simplement mettre toute les chances de votre côté, il existe plusieurs solutions. Vous pouvez notamment acheter un boîtier spécifique anti mouse-jacking, fixée à la prise OBD de votre voiture. Pensez également à ranger la clé de votre voiture dans un boitier en métal ou dans du papier aluminium une fois chez vous, car les voleurs peuvent alors utiliser le signal de cette dernière même à travers les murs de votre domicile. Enfin, ne négligez pas la bonne vieille méthode du bloque volant.

Non-elite sport - including grassroots football - is set to be allowed to resume in England from March 29 as the government begins to ease coronavirus lockdown restrictions. Prime minister Boris Johnson is set to reveal a roadmap out of lockdown on Monday that will confirm schools in England will reopen to all pupils on March 8, with children's after-school sports and activities also allowed to resume. On the same date, outdoor recreation with one other person will also be permitted, meaning people will be allowed to sit together in a park with a coffee, drink or picnic. Adults will have to wait a further three weeks to restart organised sports, with grassroots football set to resume along with the reopening of tennis courts, golf courses and other outdoor sport facilities. The relaxation of measures is the first stage of a four-part roadmap expected to include the reopening of non-essential retail and hospitality in the coming months.

A new book aims to push people to make a positive change in their life and to the environment in a fun and interactive way. A “one-stop guide” on how to move towards a more sustainable lifestyle in India, Bare Necessities: How to Live a Zero Waste Life, published by Penguin, is written by environmentalist Sahar Mansoor and sustainability consultant Tim De Ridder. It will hit the stands on Monday. “The guide book draws on our experiences running workshops, events and interacting with communities across the country. It presents a broad range of opportunities to the reader that she or he can pursue in a fun and interactive step-by-step fashion. We are really excited to distribute our knowledge of living sustainably in this way,” said Ridder about the book. Filled with activities, insights and topic-specific ideas, the book through its nine chapters and over “80 tips and tricks” help readers move towards a “zero-waste lifestyle”. It also has over two dozen recipes and suggestions of resources that one can use to reduce waste in their life. Some of the tips that the book offers include things like leaving the shoebox at the store while buying shoes, planning laundry days to save water and energy, using cotton napkins instead of tissues and using a neem comb or hairbrush. “We have tried to weave together these intimidating topics in a fun, playful, accessible format; something that has been really important has been incorporating personal stories and lessons from traditional Indian culture into the text,” said Mansoor, who is also founder and CEO of Bare Necessities, a zero-waste social enterprise. “The zero-waste movement has been deeply influenced by a western rhetoric; and we wanted to provide a refreshing and much needed Indian perspective on zero-waste living in India,” she added.

ISLAMABAD - Suspected Islamist militants in northwestern Pakistan Sunday killed four women working for a non-governmental welfare organization. Police said the victims were traveling to work when their vehicle was ambushed in North Waziristan tribal district, a former militant sanctuary on the border with Afghanistan. The district police office said the attack in the town of Mir Ali wounded the male driver, while a fifth women “luckily survived.” Pakistani security forces were said to be conducting a “search and strike” operation to capture the assailants. The victims were said to be associated with the Sabawoon charity, which provides training to local women in making handicrafts to enable them to do business from their homes in the deeply conservative Pakistani region. No one immediately took responsibility for the deadly shooting incident in the border area, which has lately experienced an upsurge in militant violence mostly targeting Pakistani security forces. Human rights groups denounced the attack. “The state must bring to book the perpetrators of this heinous crime. The re-emergence of terror groups in the area is a matter of grave concern,” said the independent Human Rights Commission of Pakistan. North Waziristan used to be a stronghold of the Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan, or TTP, an alliance of outlawed extremist groups, and militants linked to the al-Qaida terror network. TTP, also known as the Pakistani Taliban, has for years waged deadly attacks in the country, particularly in areas close to the Afghan border. Pakistan says sustained military-led operations in recent years have cleared Waziristan and surrounding districts of militants, aside from isolated pockets. Authorities say many TTP members and leaders have taken refuge in volatile Afghan border districts from where they orchestrate violence against Pakistani areas. The United Nations said in a report earlier this month that TTP has “overseen a reunification of splinter groups that took place in Afghanistan and was moderated by al-Qaida.” Authorities in Afghanistan rejected the U.N. report, saying they were not allowing anyone to use their soil against other countries.

The company is now well-positioned with a strong balance sheet to drive growth through the adoption of its payments technology across multiple industry segments. Cirralto Ltd (ASX:CRO) has received commitments to raise A$18 million through the issue of 200 million fully paid ordinary shares to institutional sophisticated and professional investors at an issue price of A$0.09 per share. The strategic capital raise follows two other placements; one in August 2020 undertaken to recapitalise the company, resulting in a debt-free balance sheet, and the second, in November 2020, to support the company’s growth with various payment providers. This most recent round signals a strong vote of confidence and welcome support from institutional shareholders with the company now well-positioned with a strong balance sheet, to drive growth through the adoption of its payments technology across multiple industry segments. The company intends to use funds for an accelerated commercialisation plan for its products, potential synergistic acquisitions, commercialisation of pilot business payments solutions and for future working capital requirements. “Enhance our growth trajectory” Cirralto CEO and managing director Adrian Floate said: “After the transformative year in 2020 with the significant restructuring of the company’s balance sheet, we are now in a financially strong position with the added firepower to focus on aggressive growth and accretive acquisitions that deliver shareholder value. “It is our ambition to utilise this capital to enhance our growth trajectory and allow us to attract the talent and customers to grow our footprint both domestically and internationally, whilst also having sufficient operational runway funding to support us through the next phase of the company’s development and maturity. “The completion of this transformational capitalisation of the company was managed by Kaai Capital and was largely supported by institutional investors, validating the market acceptance and positioning of the company’s and Appstablishment’s Spenda and SYNK’D technology platforms.” Kaai Capital acted as sole lead manager to the placement and will donate A$90,000 of the fees it will receive to Australian registered charitable deductible gift recipients. MySpenda software release Cirralto has also launched MySpenda, the user interface of the company’s Spenda digital payment stack which brings together all the distinct Spenda modules into one dashboard that increases user experience, speeds up onboarding and enables the company to fully engage the product's viral capabilities. MySpenda revolutionises bill presentation, removing manual data entry of credit card information, bank account details or customer reference numbers. The software ensures increased security with the MySpenda user remaining in control of their payment details and never needing to provide these details to the businesses they trade with. MySpenda is also integrated with small business accounting systems such as Xero, MYOB and Quickbooks Online, and ERP systems such as Microsoft Dynamics and SAP B1. “Designed to improve payment security” Floate said: “What we are doing is unique in the market. We are creating software that focuses on and improves the buyer/seller relationship regardless of where this relationship sits. “Our software is truly universal in application to anyone who buys or sells goods. “Whether that be a wholesaler or supplier who needs a solution to manage their accounts receivables, a retail owner who needs to keep track of what they owe and to who, or a consumer who wants a better experience engaging with their debtors, Spenda is the wheel that enables these transactions. “Furthermore, MySpenda sits on a foundation that puts the user first, no matter who that user is, and provides software designed to improve payment security, speed up transactions and keep money flowing through the economy.” BPSP/BPA testing underway The company has also reported the positive results of phase 1 of ‘customer to supplier’ payments utilising its newly established BPSP and BPA the MasterCard Business Payment Aggregator (BPA) and the Visa Business Payment Solution Provider (BPSP) merchant services. These initial tests have provided valuable insight and enabled the company to resolve issues and refine the user experience ahead of commercial launch. Phase 2 testing has now commenced and will place further focus on proving the impact of Reconciliation and Reporting enhancements that have been developed. This is expected to be completed by March 1, 2021, with the commercial release to be confirmed in the week beginning March 1, 2021. Shares higher Shares have jumped more than 26 per cent intra-day to A$0.145 and the company market cap sits at approximately A$197.6 million.

NEW DELHI: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday assured industry that any military hardware that Indian companies were capable of designing and manufacturing within the country would not be procured from abroad. Speaking at an event on the proposals in the budget to boost domestic manufacture of defence hardware, Modi urged Indian companies to take the initiative not only in manufacturing but also in design and development of state of the art hardware. The event was hosted by the Confederation of Indian Industry and the Society of Indian Defence Manufacturers. The prime minister’s comments are in line with his plans to reduce India’s dependency on defence imports and make Asia’s third largest economy a significant manufacturer of armaments. At the biennial DefExpo last year, Modi had set industry the task of exporting $5 billion in made in India military equipment by the year 2025. To kickstart the Indian economy after almost two months of hard lockdown imposed to stem the spread of the covid-19 pandemic, the Modi government had announced a number of measures to boost manufacturing to make India self reliant under the Atmanirbhar Bharat programme. In defence, the government had allowed 74% foreign ownership in companies to attract private investment from abroad. That India figured consistently among the top arms importers in the world was not a matter of distinction, the prime minister said in his comments on Monday. Among the steps taken to encourage local manufacturing was a list of 101 platforms that India had decided to source locally, the prime minister said.

To celebrate the 35th anniversary of The Legend of Zelda, we're running a series of features looking at a specific aspect — a theme, character, mechanic, location, memory or something else entirely — from each of the mainline Zelda games. Today, Alan looks back at the game which laid the groundwork not just for the series, but a whole new style of video game thirty-five years ago today... Here’s some free advice: don’t ever get caught in the mired mixed-medium comparison game. You know, it’s whenever someone says “X is the X of X”. (Dark Souls to the front of line, please.) There may be a morsel of insight to mine from equating one unrelated milestone to another, but considering the burden of context every art piece, every packaged-together idea carries with it, usually you only end up with a metaphor collapsed in on itself. Yet, here I go. Am I looking forward to the literary essay rebuttal to this piece? No, I am not. The Legend of Zelda (1986) for the NES is the Robinson Crusoe (1719) of video games. Robinson Crusoe, yes, the 300-year-old text by Daniel Defoe, is a rollicking story of an adventuresome Englishman. It’s about a dude wrecking ships all over the ocean while looking down the barrel of misadventure, then getting stranded for decades on some remote island fraught with whatever monsters, people, and inhumanities the English mind could conjure at the time. As Crusoe was written as a first person account mimicking the tone of a letter or a diary, it stretched the minds of the Western hemisphere reader, confusing 18th century literaries into actually believing it was a true story. In doing so, the book blazed forth a new sub-genre: “realism in fiction”. As follows in the high school texts, it inspired endless imitation, was republished untold times, and is routinely cited and debated to pretty much be the first English novel. Here’s the first problem with this comparison: the original Legend of Zelda stars nobody. Well, it technically stars a green sprite with little to nothing in the way of exposition, other than, apparently, it’s dangerous to go alone. The whole story fits on one page. Meanwhile, the titular Crusoe has a whole book of elaborated motivation (never mind the book’s frothing imperialist overtones and xenophobic strokes). And anyway, Zelda was written with more of a medieval backdrop, and it’s always had kind of a Tolkien vibe. But before we move away from this tortured analogy, here’s the point: while Crusoe may have been a character inhabited, by critically shifting the literary perspective to the first person, then combining that with a story-driven narrative just believable enough, it allowed readers to hop into Crusoe’s shoes, you might say much the same way players pick up a sword in Zelda. Without much of anything providing conflict between Crusoe’s thoughts and his actions, when you’re reading that book, you may as well be sailing those waters yourself. 265-odd years after that seismic shift, The Legend of Zelda for the NES, more than anything else of that time, stands tall as the inherent promise of video games delivered; it puts you in the vantage point of somebody else with the explicit means of gaining a new experience, but then you get to control them. The original game arguably pulled this off more effectively than any single game before itself, and remarkably, still is quite potent in 2021. Really, it is.

ndipendentemente dai colori regionali e dalle fasi di circolazione del coronavirus, a Milano torna in vigore la temuta Area C. Tra le motivazioni quelle di carattere ambientale, con il peggioramento di qualità dell'aria. Dal 24/2 la celebre ZTL va rispettata quindi. A differenza della vecchia normalità però ci sono orari che aiutano chi transita dalle parti del centro di Milano. Una correzione pensata anche per non appesantire i mezzi pubblici, Area C, con i suoi divieti di transito e ticket, oltre che temute multe, scatta dalle ore 10 alle ore 19.30. Questa riattivazione, criticata a livello politico e sociale da molti, è valida fino al 31 marzo 2021. Le regole di Area C a Milano, prevedono in ogni caso che il sabato e nei giorni festivi non siano in vigore le restrizioni.

Scotland's players talked Steve Clarke out of changing his tactics during their Euro 2020 qualification campaign, the national team coach has revealed. Clarke considered switching to a back four before the play-offs, with midfielder Scott McTominay at times exposed as part of the defence. But he was convinced to stick with a back three, and led Scotland to their first major finals since 1998. "The players wanted that system to work," Clarke told BBC Radio 5 Live. Russell aims for Scotland squad return Scotland open World Cup campaign at home to Austria Pacino poignant on Scotland progress Scotland navigated their way through the play-offs, winning penalty shoot-outs in the semi-final against Israel at Hampden and the final in Serbia. Clarke had raised eyebrows by playing McTominay on the right of a three-man defence in Nations League games against Israel and Czech Republic in September. But despite some haphazard early performances, the decision to stick with him has been vindicated. "It was a big call, but Scott was comfortable enough to go back there and play," the manager said. "And having those two games probably helped us just to bed him into the position. "He got caught under one cross against Israel at Hampden but it happens. I've seen top, top class central defenders get caught under a cross. But that was pointed out as a big mistake. "And then we gave the ball away in a terrible position in the Czech Republic and Scott was exposed one v one and got done on a little one-two, and he got the blame for that as well. "But I could see what I was looking for on the pitch. I could see the ideas that we had. "We [Clarke and the players] spoke afterwards about whether we would stick with it or go to a back four, and the players were comfortable with the formation so we decided to go with it."

B2B e-commerce major Udaan on Sunday said it added about one lakh new businesses last year on the platform under its Lifestyle segment under which over 230 million products were shipped. The Lightspeed-backed company has also seen over 250 sellers under the category achieve sales worth Rs 1 crore on the platform in 2020. "We are glad that despite the global pandemic and its adverse impact, Udaan kept the wheels of small businesses across Bharat moving by leveraging the power and scale of e-commerce," Udaan Head (Lifestyle Business) Kumar Saurabh told PTI. He added that the volume growth achieved in the lifestyle business was primarily driven by a vast range of quality products being available at affordable prices to business partners, who in turn cater to smaller parts of the country. The addition of one lakh new businesses last year, Udaan now has about 2 lakh businesses under the lifestyle category. The segment contributes about 10-12 per cent of Udaan's overall gross merchandise value (GMV). While the company did not disclose its GMV numbers, a report by Bernstein states that Udaan's GMV was at about USD 2.1 billion ARR (annual recurring revenue) in December 2020. GMV is a term used in online retailing to indicate the gross merchandise value of the products sold through the marketplace over a certain period of time. Udaan's Lifestyle business - comprising of clothing, accessories, and footwear - shipped over 230 million products, catering to more than 26 lakh orders in 2020. Sharing trends from the year, Udaan said the lifestyle segment saw sales of 10 million comfort wear products and slippers across 900 cities during the year. With work-from-home (WFM) becoming a norm due to the pandemic helped boost sale of daily wearables, and about 9 million t-shirts, 4 million shirts and 3 million kurtis were sold. Over 3.5 million socks and blouses were sold on the platform during 2020, while 25 million protective masks were sold on Udaan in the first 8 months of the pandemic, it added. "Massive digital adoption triggered among retailers and manufacturers during the pandemic also resulted in the demand going up as the unlock happened. This clearly highlights the huge potential in the lifestyle business," Saurabh said. He added that Udaan is uniquely positioned to leverage this opportunity by offering the benefits of e-commerce and internet-scale to its business partners, in line with its vision of transforming the trade ecosystem in the country by leveraging technology. Key states such as Bihar and Assam witnessed large transaction volumes in the lifestyle category as well as cities such as Lucknow, Visakhapatnam, Bengaluru and Kolkata. While there has been strong adoption of the platform by small and medium businesses, even large manufacturers and brands such as Jockey, Arvind, Shoppers Stop, BIBA, Rangriti, Lifestyle, Adidas, Reebok, Puma, Hummel, Relaxo and Aqualite have also partnered with Udaan. Udaan - which has 30 lakh businesses on its platform - has operations across categories including lifestyle, electronics, home and kitchen, staples, fruits and vegetables, FMCG, pharma, toys and general merchandise. Of these 30 lakh, 17 lakh are small retailers, including kirana shops, chemist shops, small hotels and restaurants and others.

City of Palestine: As of this Saturday morning, our crews are still working hard to make sure water is fully restored. Water is being pumped at full capacity and out of our two storage tanks, one is still increasing steadily, but the other is not. What does this mean? This means that somewhere along the distribution system we are losing water, but we cannot find the source of the leak. Our crews are actively searching wooded areas and around creeks, and we need any assistance our residents can provide. We ask you to please report any major leaks, busted water lines, or large pools of water. We are aware that there are residents that still have no water and others that are only getting a trickle. We are working to solve this, but those that are getting water can also help. We ask you to only use the minimum amount of water necessary so that our storage can continue to increase and be able to distribute the water to everyone. At this point, water is being used as fast as it is being distributed and is making it difficult for our systems to build up pressure and distribute water efficiently. While we wait for our system to properly distribute water to all residents and while our crews figure out if and where we may have any leaks, our city officials are looking for alternate sources of water. -We are currently working with Anderson County Emergency Management to get firetrucks to bring in water to distribute. -We are also in talks with other municipalities to help us by providing water to our residents. **While we continue to look for resources to distribute water locally, residents can go to the Walston Springs Water Corporation at 1370 FM2419, Palestine, TX 75801 to get drinking water. You must provide your own jugs or containers. The Walston Springs Tower is located by their office and they will have a water hose connected to the tower so that residents can fill up on drinking water. Be assured that we are working on this nonstop and making sure everyone has water is our priority. We do need your help. 1) If you are getting water, please ONLY use the minimum that you need. 2) Report water line breaks or pools of water. 3) Let us know if you do not have water so that we can isolate the areas that are lacking water. To report busted water lines, leaks, pooled water, you can send us a message here or call 903-729-2254. We are aware that there have been issues with that number due to it being down. The line is working now, but if you continue to have issues, send a private message to this page. Again, we know this is a very frustrating time, but please know that we are working nonstop to make sure everyone has water.

A bizarre new bug has appeared in Apex Legends that apparently prevents players from grabbing anything out of death boxes, and the community isn’t happy about the game-breaking glitch. Apex Legends Season 8 released on February 2, and introduced the 30-30 Repeater rifle, an Obliterated Kings Canyon map update, and the game’s newest Legend: Walter Fitzroy, more commonly known as Fuse. Despite bringing a slew of new content to the battle royale, Respawn’s latest content drop also added several new bugs, ranging from more common Legend ability issues to a serious glitch that wiped out entire accounts-worth of player unlocks. Reports of the game’s latest bug started to appear on the Apex Legends subreddit on February 19, and quickly spread like wildfire. Players from all platforms shared that they are unable to loot death boxes: a bug that has some truly game-breaking potential. Apex Legends streamer PVPX shared his own encounter with the death box bug. The game’s subreddit has been flooded with reports of the bug across PC and consoles, in both the ranked and casual playlists. “Nobody can loot from death boxes and everyone on my teams that I’ve talked to have that same problem,” one user reported. Read More: Apex Legends tip reduces recoil with any weapon In addition to written reports of the issue, many players shared video evidence as well. In one user’s post, they attempted to loot several attachments for their R-99 SMG, but the items either briefly disappeared and then went straight back to the death box, or simply never moved at all. Apex Legends content creator Jamison ‘PVPX’ Moore shared a clip of his own encounter with the bug during a Predator Ranked match — potentially the worst possible time for this issue to pop up. In the clip, he tried looting an enemy death box then realized that none of the items were actually picked up. “Is the server crashing?” he asked, then exclaimed, “I can’t loot the body!” “It’s just disappearing, the loot is disappearing when you loot it,” PVPX continued. When his teammate and fellow pro Haris ‘Hodsic’ Hodzic tried to loot the death box, he ran into the same issue and confirmed “I can’t even loot it [either].” Any game — especially complex battle royales like Apex — are bound to have their fair share of bugs, but picking up items from defeated enemies is a core part of any BR experience, and being unable to do so can quite literally break the gameplay loop entirely. Read More: Apex Legends voice actors for all characters While players have reported issues with looting from death boxes, ground loot appears to be unaffected by this particular glitch, so players can still equip themselves with items found outside of death boxes (although this limitation still severely impacts the flow of the game). The death box looting bug is not listed on the official Apex Legends Trello board at the time of writing, but with such a serious bug affecting so many players it’s only a matter of time before Respawn identifies the issue and pushes out a fix to stop the problem from occurring.

Sony's PlayStation 5 (PS5) is in a bit of trouble. There have been multiple reports about the DulaSense controller, that comes with the PS5, reporting some serious rocker drift issues. According to players, the DualSense controller has a stick drift problem and while Sony has an update to fix it, many are reporting that the issue is persisting despite the update. Sony is also grappling with a class action lawsuit regarding this and the law firm suing Sony is looking for free replacements of faulty devices. A drift issue in a controller makes game characters move without command and can also change camera angles leading to disruptions in the game. However, the problem here seems to be a hardware one and not a software one that can be fixed with an OTA update. According to iFixit, who disassembled the DualSense controller, the drift issue could have links to four parameters - sensor wear, spring fatigue, material stretching and junk like moisture and dust. Also Read: Sony is facing a class action lawsuit over PS5 controller joystick malfunction According to Alps, the PS5 joystick makers, the operating life for the RKJXV’s potentiometers is 2,000,000 cycles”. A professional calculation by iFixit shows that a gamer can hit 2,000,000 in about four to seven months. This could cause wear and tear of the potentiometer in the controller and as a result, the joystick may slightly deviate from the center point, which gamers call a “drift”. Additionally, the wearing of the spring inside the joystick lead to the joystick being unable to reset and the plastic material detoriates over time which could lead to just and other junk accumulating. This, in turn, can cause inaccurate position feedback or “drift” problems. Therefore, the only way to solve this issue is to replace the controller. Players have tried to restart the Bluetooth, restart the PS5 and reset the DualSense controller to fix the drift but it has not worked. And a software update isn't going to help either.

On Tuesday, England women play Northern Ireland in their first game for almost 12 months - a match introducing the new interim manager Hege Riise. Notably, however - with Demi Stokes injured and Nikita Parris unable to travel because of Covid-19 restrictions - there will be only one non-white player in the squad of 21. Bristol City forward Ebony Salmon has been handed her first senior England call-up, after the initial all-white squad was announced. Compared with the men's game, the pool of BAME players to choose from in women's football is a lot smaller. At the Women's World Cup in 2019, Stokes and Parris were the only non-white players in the England squad. In the men's World Cup squad the year before, there were 13 players of colour - celebrated as "representing modern, multicultural England". While women's football has grown exponentially in the past few years, the number of black and mixed-race players in an England squad for a major tournament has decreased from six in 2007 to two in 2019. The statistics on BAME representation in English football can be difficult to pin down. Indeed, the football authorities faced criticism last year for not monitoring the number of elite players in the men's or women's games. But Manchester City and England forward Raheem Sterling, speaking to the BBC's Newsnight programme last year about the lack of BAME coaches and leaders in English football, indicated that "there's something like 500 players in the Premier League and a third of them are black". That figure was backed up when Paul Elliott, chairman of the FA's inclusion advisory board, spoke to the BBC around the same time. It is estimated, though, that the proportion of BAME players in the Women's Super League is lower - at between 10-15% BAME players in the WSL. "Right now, to be honest, it's not inclusive enough. And it's not diverse enough, and we know it," said Baroness Sue Campbell, the Football Association's director of women's football. Accessibility & opportunity Aston Villa's Anita Asante, 35, who has 71 England caps, says one reason there are so few BAME players in elite women's football is inaccessibility. "It's getting more difficult to get the right accessibility for disadvantaged groups of young girls, especially in inner cities," she told BBC Sport. "When you're seeing so few [BAME players] making it to the elite level you have to question if the system is really working. Does it need reviewing to find where the gaps are?" Kay Cossington, the FA's head of women's player development and talent, told She Kicks magazine in 2020 that "inclusivity was compromised as we attempted to turn more professional. We had 52 centres of excellence; that was too many for the depth of talent at the time". With 52 centres reduced to 30 - and with many of the centres that remained based in rural areas - a lot of the BAME players from big cities were travelling two or three hours to get to training. Millwall, for example, had trained in Lewisham and Southwark, but moved to Bromley where facilities were better. When Watford forward Adekite Fatuga-Dada was 16, she was invited to an England Under-19s camp at St George's Park in Staffordshire, 144 miles from London. But her mum, a single parent, was working on the day of the camp, so Fatuga-Dada had no way of getting there. Her mum asked the FA if they could help her daughter - then playing for Arsenal's Under-17s - with transportation. The FA told her to ask one of the Arsenal Women first-team players for a lift to the camp. "I didn't feel comfortable to go and ask an Arsenal Ladies player who I've idolised growing up, if I could jump in the car with them," Fatuga-Dada, now 24, told BBC Sport. She added: "I was so young and [my mum] didn't want me to travel on my own, which is understandable. But I don't think it's fair to ask every girl to do that. There should be more help. "It was a very exciting time for me, I was on cloud nine as a young player. But I never went [to the camp] and I haven't been back with England since." What is the FA doing about it? Baroness Sue Campbell says the FA wouldn't let what happened to Fatuga-Dada occur now. "We'd find a way now," the FA's director of women's football told BBC Sport. "When I first came into the FA five years ago, there were very few people focused on the women's game. Now we have somebody in every division of the football association with a key leading focus on the women's game." Campbell says one challenge is not having the resources of the men's game. But she says that now women's football has the "volume through participation", the FA needs to redesign the pathway for its emerging talent. The FA is also working with the EFL Trust to carry out more talent identification work in inner-city areas and has provided scholarships for players who need financial support. It says it is already seeing more ethnic diversity in the England youth teams. The teenage drop-off The FA also has an Asian Women's Advisory Group, and through its Wildcats programme for girls aged 5-11, it has trained coaches from the communities it is targeting - so that girls have relatable role models. There is also a new teenage equivalent programme. But when the drop-off rate from sport for teenage girls is so high anyway, what is being done to make sure all the FA's work with youth is translating into the elite level of football? "We've developed a programme for clubs, which is about helping clubs think about what it means to be girl-friendly and inclusive," Campbell said. "It doesn't just mean you run a women's team. It means the whole ambience of who greets them, what the changing rooms look like, what is going to help them come along, feel that they belong, and that they're part of it. "If you go that first time and it feels uncomfortable, most girls don't have the confidence to go back again." So is it just a case of this work trickling down and waiting for the impact to be made? Or does the problem run deeper than that? The perception of women's football, post Sampson There are other issues for women's football that are unrelated to the talent pathway. In 2017, the FA apologised to England players Eniola Aluko and Drew Spence for racially discriminatory remarks made by sacked England women's boss Mark Sampson. It was a high-profile case that made headlines for more than a year. Villa's Asante, who was playing in the squad at the time, said: "For young girls from similar backgrounds watching that, they would have probably been disheartened to have seen the negative impact it had on those individuals and also the actions at the time of the squad. "That perception or lack of support for the person experiencing a form of discrimination or racism to the nation publicly, is not going to have a positive image or impact to young people. "That's why it's important that the FA and us as players talk about these experiences, to try to improve the system so that it can be better for the next generation." 'We have to do more' - WSL players Asante says that since the global resurgence of the Black Lives Matter movement in 2020, her team-mates have reflected on the situation. "I've had players that I know reach out to me personally and apologise," she said. "Not because they did something directly bad, but because they didn't reach out or they didn't support myself and those players at the time." 'A white space' and stereotypes Fatuga-Dada says another problem for young players of colour is stereotypes. "It is very much a white space," she told BBC Sport. "A lot of black players that I know would be told the reason why they weren't getting picked for squads is because of things like attitude. I guess now you look at it and say that's a stereotype. "It was tough - we were kids, and you can't argue with the manager or say 'I don't have a bad attitude, I'm not what you think I am'. "It was so easy to discourage certain players from playing, because they were just told 'this is what you are'. "If there are not more black, Asian or minority players at a grassroots level, we can't expect them at the top. If they do have the talent, why are we not trying to encourage them to reach those heights?" If you can't see it, you can't be it Asante says the lack of representation - both on the team and behind the scenes - is another challenge, especially as the number of BAME players has decreased in the past few years. "From leadership to organisation management, the lack of representation is a barrier," she said. "People don't have that connection necessarily to the game, because they don't see people that look like them or have their shared lived experience." Asante remembers England legend Rachel Yankey leading a training session when she was a teenager at Arsenal, and says it made a huge difference having someone she could relate to. She said: "She comes from a similar background - and all of these connections that we could build made me feel like this was a space that I really wanted to be in."

The Worthington Architectural Review Board and Municipal Planning Commission have approved a permit for Lifestyle Communities to begin demolition of the 15 buildings on the former United Methodist Children’s Home site at 1033 N. High St. According to the permit, which was approved Feb. 11, demolition of the first structure was scheduled to begin Feb. 15, starting with a residential home at 77 Longfellow Ave. Demolition of the remaining buildings is scheduled to take place over the course of the next two to three months. Worthington planning and building director Lee Brown said the demolition schedule would begin pending weather conditions, considering the snow and winter conditions throughout central Ohio the week of Feb. 15. Many of the structures scheduled to be demolished were constructed in the 1950s and 1960s, the application said. One was built in 1930, and a few others were constructed in 1988. The buildings have fallen into a state of dilapidation following the closure of UMCH's residential facility in December 2010 and in the years prior. “There are 15 buildings on this site that have not been used probably in decades and are in poor repair,” Brown said. The demolition application was specific about the conditions. "The current conditions of the buildings range from a general state of disrepair and functional obsolescence to an acute nuisance condition in several cases, including structural deterioration, collapsing floors and ceilings, mold growth, the need for controlled asbestos abatement and elimination of possible animal infestation,” the application said. The properties are owned by Worthington Campus, an LLC for Lifestyle Communities, according to the application. According to Trevor Arnold, who works in land development for Lifestyle Communities, the company will have the demolition sites reseeded with grass and restored to a natural state after the demolition work is complete. “On the surface, it would be restored to a grass condition and maintained by our property-management group,” Arnold told ARB officials at the Feb. 11 meeting. The project would require the site's zoning to be changed to a planned-unit development. The company requested no vote be taken on the rezoning measure at an ARB and MPC meeting Jan. 14 . Its application was tabled for a later date. Michael Bates, a member of the Worthington Alliance for Responsible Development – a 501(c)(3) community organization advocating that property development within the city corresponds with the 2005 Worthington Comprehensive Plan and WARD’s guiding principles – said he thinks the ARB and MPC should have explored other avenues instead of approving the demolition procedures. Bates said he wrote a letter to the MPC asking it not to approve the demolition. He said he suggested the buildings that are deteriorating be fenced off until the future of the property is more clear or that the commissions should have been "more selective" in what buildings are demolished and that other buildings be "secured." “The buildings are clearly a problem, so I understand why the owner would want to remove the buildings,” he said. “But my point with the Municipal Planning Commission was there should have been some discussion around alternatives before blanket approval of just the demolition.”
