Most people hardly give road maps a second thought, except when they happen to fold one the wrong way and it springs from the glove compartment like a caged bat. Likewise, in the study of cartography they have been mostly footnotes-at least until now, with the opening of a show called “The Power of Maps” at the Cooper-Hewitt Museum in New York, the National Museum of Design. Co-curator Lucy Fellowes has unearthed rare treasures from antiquity, and the only slightly less remote 1960s, represented by a map of the East Coast with south at the top....

With her four wins on Sunday, the queen of R&B and pop now has 28 Grammy Awards to her name, more than any other female artist. The previous holder of that record was country and bluegrass artist Alison Krauss, who has won 27 Grammys in her career. Krauss’ most recent Grammy win was in 2012, when she won Best Bluegrass Album for her 2011 album Paper Airplane under the band name Alison Krauss & Union Station....

And not just because she’s the most unforgettable commercial star since Clara Peller went searching for beef. The fact is, Eisenberg has upstaged half of Hollywood. As the ventriloquist-like Pepsi Girl, she’s gotten the better of Marlon Brando, Aretha Franklin and Joe Pesci. She turns in the most affecting performance in Sally Field’s film “Beautiful,” where she plays the daughter of a beauty queen. This week Eisenberg goes for the hard stuff....

In the 16 years that he turned out for the ‘blue tigers’, Baichung Bhutia kept the company of a few dozen Indian footballers of assorted abilities. Many have quietly faded into the sunset and some have metamorphosed into coaches, though a few from his early days still continue to play club football. The longtime India captain will bow out of the international game in a blaze of glory with the Bayern Munich vs India exhibition tie on January 10 in New Delhi being billed as his high profile farewell match which will also raise funds for victims of the Sikkim earthquake....

Both Bianca Belair and Bayley announced their entries into the Royal Rumble on this week’s episode of SmackDown. While making her announcement in an interview backstage, The EST Of WWE was interrupted by The Role Model, who would also make her entry into the Royal Rumble official. There was a short exchange between the two women regarding Bianca Belair’s performance in last year’s Royal Rumble, and Bayley currently lacking a championship around her waist....

Kellogg’s workers have been on strike at four plants in Michigan, Nebraska, Oklahoma and Tennessee since October 5. After workers rejected a tentative agreement on Tuesday, the Kellogg Company issued a statement saying that the “prolonged work stoppage has left us no choice but to hire permanent replacement employees in positions vacated by striking workers.” Biden reacted to the company’s plan in a statement on Friday. The president said that collective bargaining was “an essential tool to protect the rights of workers that should be free from threats and intimidation from employers,” while describing the move to replace the striking Kellogg’s workers as an “existential attack....

Results of a CBS News survey, conducted between October 20 and 23, showed candidates neck and neck in the typically red Southern state. It tracked Trump and Biden’s progress among battleground state voters across the U.S. In addition to collecting responses from Georgia residents, CBS News tracked each presidential nominee’s support in Florida and North Carolina, which are considered two of the most critical swing states to secure this year....

At an OPEC Plus meeting in Vienna, the cartel’s Joint Ministerial Monitoring Group recommended oil output be cut by 2 million barrels a day, or around two percent of the global oil supply. A final decision will be taken at the OPEC Plus Ministers meeting later today (October 5). If confirmed, this would be the deepest cut in oil production since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020....

Biden is ahead in most surveys with two weeks to go, with advantages in a number of battleground states as well as at a national level. Of 14,994 likely voters asked by Morning Consult from October 16 to 18, more than half, 52 percent, backed Biden, compared to 43 percent for Trump. In a breakdown of age groups, Biden took a majority of younger voters while he also got the most support from older voters....

Both short-acting ß2-agonists (SABAs) and long-acting ß2-agonists (LABAs) play important—but different—roles in asthma management. What Do ß2-Agonists Do? SABAs work quickly and are used to halt asthma attacks and other asthma symptoms right away. The most common SABA is albuterol. SABAs are often called rescue inhalers. LABAs are daily medications used to control chronic symptoms and prevent asthma attacks. Studies show they can: Improve lung functionDecrease asthma symptomsIncrease the number of symptom-free daysReduce the number of asthma attacksDecrease rescue inhaler use...

This fan dream presents an interesting option for Fallout developer and publisher Bethesda, which is always looking for ways to improve one of its flagship franchises. Everybody loves spinoffs – if done right – and launching spinoffs based on the most popular factions fans have seen in its games is sure to boost revenue and add more successful releases to Bethesda’s belt. Should the gigantic publisher give a go-ahead signal for one faction to build up the Fallout universe, it will have fan bases of other factions clamoring for their spinoffs, which presents a good problem....

The Hocus Pocus star is famously not a fan of the Trump administration, often tweeting her disdain for the president—and she did not hold back in her latest tirade on Twitter. “Dear Donnie,” she began. “I know you are a bottomless pit of need, but really, dude, the rest of us have lives to lead, and we just can’t pay any more attention to you.” Referencing the coronavirus pandemic, she added to her two million followers: “There’s 250,000 people dead, the economy sucks, and I’m not feeling too good myself....

Shortly after Fabian’s character Howard Hamlin was unexpectedly murdered at the hands of Lalo Salamanca in the Better Call Saul episode “Plan and Execution,” it shouldn’t shock anyone that viewers would like to hear Fabian’s perspective on how it all unfolded for Hamlin. Fortunately, he was willing to open up about how he discovered his character’s fate. RELATED: Bob Odenkirk Says He Likes Where Better Call Saul’s Story Ends...

Let’s back up for a moment. When the president went to Europe, he was besieged by questions about the death penalty. It was hard enough defending the whole idea of capital punishment before nations that strongly oppose it, so Bush retreated a bit. “We should never execute anyone who is retarded,” the president said. This was a nice, compassionate-sounding answer but it avoided the fact that Texas has executed six inmates with IQs under 70, the generally accepted threshold for retardation....

Alexander Kueng, have been charged with aiding and abetting second degree murder. Posting a shot of hundreds of people gathered for a protest to Instagram, Beyoncé, 38, included the message: “The world came together for George Floyd. We know there is a long road ahead.

While trademarks are filed all the time only for nothing to come of it, this could be a sign that Beyond Good & Evil 2 may finally see the light of day. This is because Ubisoft has filed these trademarks just a month after rumors began circulating that Nintendo has stepped in to finance the game in exchange for Beyond Good & Evil 2 being a Nintendo NX exclusive....

At E3 2018, Ubisoft gave a behind-closed-doors demo of the game, which made it clear that it would be an open-world RPG with galaxy exploration. This rather ambitious-sounding elevator pitch may go some way to explaining the lengthy development process of Beyond Good and Evil 2 - rumors for which began circulating way back in 2007. On Instagram, Senior Creative Director Michel Ancel posted an image of Ganesha City, one of the Beyond Good and Evil 2’s environments, and began responding to a few fans in the comment section....
