The West Indies – whose fortunes have plummeted in recent years – were in danger of missing out after the International Cricket Council (ICC) reduced the number of teams in next year’s 50-over global showpiece from 14 to 10. The top eight teams in the ICC rankings qualified automatically, leaving the ninth-ranked West Indies having to come through a tournament against nine other nations in Zimbabwe for the final two places....
In a series of videos posted across FIBA’s social channels, the international basketball federation shows fans from Rome, New York and Beijing getting the opportunity to test their defensive abilities (and their balance) against these talented ball handlers. The videos formed part of FIBA’s This is My House campaign, allowing fans from each country to have the opportunity to be a part of the competition build-up. The first video saw the Bone Collector travel to Rome, where he met with Federica Tognalini who has represented Italy in FIBA 3x3 women’s competitions, and then took on fans outside of the world-famous Colosseum, including a Roman Centurion!...
RELATED: League Of Legends Wild Rift: 10 Major Differences With The PC MOBA With 8 factions to mix and match together in decks, every player creates a build that suits their personal playing style. As with many competitive games, the meta is always changing, so one faction that reigns supreme one season may be out of style the next. With new factions and cards added frequently to the game, it’s wise for players to research just what they’re getting into when building a new deck....

Expecto profit! What the collector’s edition includes that the non-collector’s edition does not is a behind the scenes featurette, commonly known as a “DVD-Bonus-Feature-Filler” and four–count ’em–four “House Crest Lego Magnets.” Well, it’s better than just some sort of metal container. But for twenty extra bones, Daniel Radcliffe better come to your house and clean your bathroom or something. And he can’t use the wand! Modern Warfare 2 gave you night vision goggles in their collector’s edition!...
For the uninitiated, Yaddle is a female member of Yoda’s species who appears briefly on the Jedi Master Council in The Phantom Menace. Derrick characterizes her as one of the “surprise” additions to the huge cast of background players during the interview showing off key art alongside TT Games’ head of production Jonathan Smith.

RELATED: 10 Hilarious LEGO Star Wars Memes That’ll Make You Wish You Were A LEGO Some of these in-game secrets opened up new character options, such as Savage Opress or Poggle the Lesser (even with a character roster this big, there’s always room for new additions from the likes of The Mandalorian). However, many were cheats designed to give players passive boosts in their stats and abilities, far beyond what they would normally be able to accomplish....
Leicestershire have had an impressive start to their Royal One-Day 2022 campaign, winning three of their four games to be ranked third in Group A. They are riding high on the exploits of two South African gunners, Wiaan Mulder and Beuran Hendricks, who have been exceptional with the ball so far. However, their path will not be easy in the face of Warwickshire, who have yet to lose a match....
The Foxes completed a scarcely believable Premier League title triumph last season, but a run of just one win in nine league outings had left Claudio Ranieri’s men just three points above the drop zone prior to Saturday’s match. However, the champions will enter 2017 with a welcome confidence boost, thanks to Slimani’s thumping 20th-minute header from Marc Albrighton’s teasing cross. Slimani had already hit the post for the Foxes, who survived a scare towards the end of the first half when Michail Antonio rattled the crossbar and Dimitri Payet’s free-kick was well saved by Kasper Schmeichel....
Leicester City vs Burnley Preview Leicester City are in 12th place in the Premier League standings at the moment and have been surprisingly inconsistent this season. The Foxes were stunned by Brighton & Hove Albion in their previous league match and cannot afford another debacle this weekend. Burnley have also had their problems in the Premier League this season and are in 19th place in the league table. The away side is yet to win a league game at the moment and will look to pull off an upset in this fixture....
The Australian carded a fourth consecutive round in the 60s with a seven-under 65 to complete his win in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Leishman, 34, now has four wins on the PGA Tour, but his success was his first since last year’s BMW Championship. He made four consecutive birdies starting at the second hole in the final round before picking up shots at nine and 10. As the chasing pack struggled to make inroads into his lead, Leishman – who was in a three-way tie for the overnight lead – saw out his win with birdies at the 16th and 18th holes, his only blip a dropped shot at 13....
France’s Christophe Lemaitre, last month hailed as Europe’s best chance to break the Jamaican-US Olympic sprint hegemony, brought his disappointing season to an end Sunday with a victory in the men’s 100 metres. Lemaitre, the French record-holder in the 100m with a best of 9.92sec, clocked 10.04sec to finish ahead of St Kitts and Nevis veteran Kim Collins (10.09sec) and Norway’s Ghana-born Jaysuma Saidy Ndure (10.14). His winning time meant that the 22-year-old Frenchman failed to register a sub-10sec time this season, which has been in great contrast to that of 2011....
Lemnis Gate’s time looping, turn-taking premise is simple to grasp in theory, but in practice, the mechanic presents players with a nearly dizzying number of strategic options. While there was too much to take in to fully assess the depth of the potential meta and overall staying power, our brief hands-on wiith Lemnis Gate showed tremendous promise. Following the preview, Game Rant spoke with Ratloop’s lead developer, James Anderson, to discuss learning curves, fine-tuning ability balance in a world where time is circular, and what lies at the core of a solid shooter....
Lena Wilson, a freelance writer with The New York Times, had been attacked over her response to Stenberg’s DMs. The actress sent a private message to Wilson after she wrote a negative review of the slasher movie Bodies Bodies Bodies. Wilson panned the horror release, which stars 23-year-old Stenberg alongside Maria Bakalova, Rachel Sennott, Lee Pace and Pete Davidson. The film follows the story of a group of rich Gen Z-ers partying at a remote mansion....
It’s not quite as versatile as the Yoga though, as it doesn’t allow you to wrap the screen right around so that it folds flat against the keyboard to turn the entire device into a weighty tablet. Instead, the Lenovo Flex only allows you to fold the screen back through about 300 degrees, to form an A-shaped tent that acts as a stand for the screen while you sit back and watch some video....

Of these, optical zoom is the most important because it measures the focal length of the lens, which depends on its mechanical operation. As the camera adjusts the glass elements inside the lens, the focal length magnifies or contracts the field of view to the desired frame. A digital zoom lens uses software to simulate the camera’s focal length. Rather than adjusting the lens’ mechanical components, a digital zoom lens magnifies the image as displayed on the LCD screen, creating the illusion of a zoomed-in field of view....
The trigger for Lebanon’s latest crisis is the ongoing dispute over finding a successor to pro-Syrian President Emile Lahoud, whose term expired Nov. 23. Parliamentary leaders have tentatively agreed on compromise candidate Gen. Michel Suleiman—but are still squabbling over how to amend the constitution for the army chief to assume his new position. For the country’s Christians, however, the dispute over Suleiman has an even deeper significance. Many see it as underscoring the subsidiary role played by Christian leaders in Parliament’s two main factions: the ruling, pro-Western March 14 coalition led by Sunni Muslim Saad Hariri and the Hizbullah-dominated opposition led by Shiite leader Hassan Nasrallah....
