In a, frankly, subjective piece, which it is impossible to gain unanimous agreement with, I have sprinkled my search for the greatest fifty players in the world with a pinch of objectivity by using weighted averages to determine who comes out on top. Each player was allocated a score out of 100 for their ‘Overall Ability’ (technique, goal-scoring records / defensive records), their ‘Success’ (team and individual trophies won during their career, relative to their age and time in the game) and their ‘Recent Form’ (how they’ve performed throughout this calendar year, injuries, etc....

The decal, which is bolted to the top of the rover, depicts Perseverance and its five siblings. The vehicles are lined up from left to right in the order that they touched down on the planet. These are Sojourner, Spirit, Opportunity, Curiosity, and Perseverance. Can you spot the Mars family portrait below? The decal can just about be spotted in some of the thousands of photographs that Perseverance has sent back so far....

In an official statement by Spotify, the digital music service acknowledged artists and songwriters have to make a living. The 2018 decision made by CRB does not account the cost from rights for videos and lyrics. Spotify said, “The CRB judges set the new publishing rates by assuming that record labels would react by reducing their licensing rates, but their assumption is incorrect. However, we are willing to support an increase in songwriter royalties provided the license encompasses the right scope of publishing rights....

Spotify Unveils an Enhanced “Your Library” Hailed as a more organized, streamlined way to browse and find your content, the new Your Library makes it easy to navigate a collection of music and podcasts in one place. Out of more than 5,000 hours of content that gets released on Spotify every day, hundreds of hours of those are saved in the Your Library section. “We know it’s crucial to be able to quickly find what you’re looking for, jump back into your latest discovery, or rediscover a beloved track you saved years ago,” reads Spotify’s announcement....

We’ve decided to take on the task of comparing two leading platforms — Spotify and Deezer — to help you come to your own conclusions. Spotify vs. Deezer: Price Comparison While both services have a free version you can use, it’s usually not enough for the true music lover. With the free subscription, you’ll be interrupted by ads every few songs, have a limited number of skips, won’t be able to download songs to listen offline, and other annoying limitations....

Fantasy baseball owners already have the likes of Carlos Correa, Jose Altuve and George Springer high on their wish lists, but here are a few potential sleepers to be on the lookout for later in the draft (and throughout the year). MORE FANTASY: Prospect rankings | Draft sleepers | Position rankings | 2016 Draft Guide Spring training scouting reports: Houston Astros First base is the position where the Astros have the most question marks this spring, and third base may require a platoon given Luis Valbuena’s struggles against lefthanders, so it’s no surprise that the club has four corner infield prospects in big league camp....

Springfield Cardinals outfielder Randy Arozarena exemplified that perfectly Thursday night, with an absolutely bonkers infield triple. Well, not exactly a triple, but … The missed catch was actually ruled an error by the official scorer, meaning no infield triple. Still, the hustle to make it to third base on a play where the ball never left the infield is unreal. FAGAN: SN’s 2017 MLB All-Star roster But that wasn’t the height of the night for the Cardinals....

Only 25 drivers will be participating in the non-points race. Among the eligible drivers are last season’s Chase participants and pole winners, a well as past Daytona 500 pole winners and past event winners.

DeRozan scored 29 points and the Spurs defeated Atlanta 117-111 Tuesday night for their 21st straight win at home over the depleted Hawks. “The last couple of games, I felt like I kind of let them down, so I wanted to step up and help them out,” White said. White, in his second year, scored 23 points after scoring 20 total points in his previous four games. The win kept San Antonio seventh in the Western Conference after Oklahoma City defeated the Los Angeles Lakers 119-103 on Tuesday behind Russell Westbrook’s historic game....

It should first be noted that many were understandably upset with Square Enix. NFTs have been both a point of contention and controversy since the term was coined, but some language in the letter didn’t quite land as well. Matsuda wrote that he realized “some people who ‘play to have fun’ and who currently form the majority of players have voiced their reservations toward these new trends.” Many have taken this to mean that gaming for fun just isn’t simply enough....

It would be quite a stretch to imagine that Square Enix was already betting on Hitman: Absolution being a success, even though the trailers for the game look pretty spectacular. But, as we’ve learned from situations like the Modern Warfare 3 site, it’s sometimes better to secure your properties early than have to fight for them later. Since merging with Eidos, Square Enix has made it very clear that they plan on growing new and old IPs into powerhouse franchises for the publisher/developer....

Bunty Sajdeh, CEO, Cornerstone Sport, said “India is a young, emotional country and always looking for icons to look up to. And Basketball as a sport has always been popular in India. Satnam Singh, his journey this far and now signing with the Edge in Canada gives us all someone to look forward to, to follow and encourage.” “I am really excited to be a part of St John’s Edge....

The contest was goalless at the interval, with the two sides cancelling each other out. WATCH: Muller nets stunning volleys Tempers were, however, to get a little frayed as the players headed back to the dressing rooms. Punches were thrown as Swanson and Foster exchanged unpleasantries, with both shown straight red cards. With both prevented from returning for the second half, St Johnstone suddenly found themselves down to nine men....

The hosts were eliminated from the fourth round last season and will look to improve that here. Rangers, meanwhile, enjoyed a great run in the Scottish Cup last season, conceding just once (against Celtic) in five games since the fourth round. St. Johnstone won the competition in the 2020-21 edition but failed to defend their title last season. Interestingly, they have lifted the cup more times in the last 13 years (twice) than Rangers (once)....

The scan tool in Stacks is different from the scan tool in Google Drive and it features a camera with the ability to crop the image while capturing. Once you click the documents, the Stack app initiates naming the images and sort them into various categories. These categories are referred to as Stacks and hence the name of the app. These Stacks appear on the Home tab of the application and some of the popular categories include Banking, Bills, and Receipts etc....

Guo and his “hand-picked” chief technology officer, Joe Wang, have reportedly and repeatedly disagreed with Gettr’s information technology and cybersecurity teams regarding the best ways to maintain and improve the site’s security protocols, former employees told the Washington Examiner. These clashes have occurred amid monetary issues, a “major restructuring” and resulting lay-offs among Gettr’s online security and infrastructure teams, the publication added. At least 13 members of those teams—including the chief information officer and chief information security officer—have been removed from the platform since December 28, 2021....

ALTER: What will your first 100 days look like? What are your priorities? GORE: I think the 100-day milestone is itself a trap. The truth is, a lot of the challenges that we face today require stamina and persistence and steadiness of purpose and resolve. First I will continue the prosperity and progress by balancing the budget and investing in people and opening markets and concentrating on job training and education… I will spend most of my time focused on getting a fair shake for people who don’t have any other chance besides the person sitting in the Oval Office....

Reacting to which, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader and former cricketer Kirti Azad on Monday said such incidents not only draw disrespect for the game but for the whole nation. “These incidents not only disrespect the game but the nation as well.
