The Coast Guard Administration will step up defense preparations on the islands of Dongsha and Taiping—also known as Pratas and Itu Aba respectively—following recent drone sightings around the former. In a report given to legislators ahead of a parliamentary hearing on Thursday, Taiwan’s coast guard said the drone activity, likely for reconnaissance purposes, was in addition to the Chinese warplanes that frequently fly into the country’s air defense identification zone....
Eight months after Paramount Leader Deng Xiaoping’s death, Jiang has consolidated power. Out are his two biggest Politburo rivals, both veterans of a collective leadership that once vetted his every action. That leaves just two Politburo heavyweights at Jiang’s side–Prime Minister Li Peng and Deputy Prime Minister Zhu Rongji–both allies. Liu’s ouster removes the People’s Liberation Army from the party’s all-powerful Standing Committee, while Qiao’s opens a vacancy at the head of China’s legislature, the National Peo- ple’s Congress....
The CHJGD Kaset comes in various designs, of which the company was kind enough to send us two. Other than the styling, each of these power banks are the same and all cost £19.99 direct from CHJGD’s website. We received the Love Songs and Marilyn Monroe versions, and CHJGD also sells 90s Hits, Mixtape and Rock Mix options. Unfortunately both the cases were cracked upon delivery, but the power banks themselves were fine and we have plenty of old cassette boxes up in the loft with which we can replace them....
We’ve spoken about the benefits of Qi wireless charging before, but you really have to try it to see just how convenient it is. We love being able to simply throw down our phone and pick it up fully charged, without having to fumble around plugging in- and unplugging cables. I recently broke the micro-USB connection on my Samsung Galaxy S6, too, so wireless charging is, for me, not just handy but essential....

Before it was released in theaters in 2001, Colombus’ original cut of the first Harry Potter film was previewed by Warner Bros. at test screenings. Fans who have read the books by J.K. Rowling will know that a prominent character is missing from the cut that made it to the big screen, in the form of Hogwarts ghost Peeves. With the recent announcement of the Harry Potter cast reuniting on HBO Max early next year, the movies are being reappraised once more....
This was in line with Jericho’s upcoming hair-versus-hair match tomorrow at Dynamite Road Rager against Ortiz. A lock of The Wizard’s hair was cut by his former Inner Circle teammate on the June 1 episode of the program, which led to this match. Their bout will precede the upcoming Blood and Guts encounter at the namesake event. The JAS leader only expressed his disgust at AEW’s recent promotion of his match against Ortiz....
That’s right, the classic and enduring nerdy hobby that parents are contractually obligated to “never quite understand” is getting a full on cinematic adaptation, and Pine seems highly likely to be part of it. How exactly a game whose entire popularity revolves around the limitless amount of possibilities it presents can be faithfully brought to the big screen is unclear, but considering the talent involved, it’s certain to be a spectacle of one sort or another....
Sale, who is working his way back from a stress fracture in his rib cage, made his first start for the WooSox against the Scranton Wilkes-Barre RailRiders. It wasn’t a great one for the 33-year-old. Sale lasted just 3 2/3 innings. He allowed just three hits but struggled with his command, walking five batters. He was ultimately pulled after a bases-loaded walk in the top of the fourth inning that plated the only run Sale allowed during the game....

Both men were accused of trying to influence assistant coaches within the NCAA to get potential NBA prospects to sign with Dawkins’ sports management company and specific advisors once they turned pro....
The campaign, which amassed more than 2,000 donations, was quickly approaching its $100,000 goal. Other crowdfunding campaigns supporting 17-year-old Rittenhouse on GoFundMe and Fundly were taken down shortly after they were created following Rittenhouse’s arrest on Wednesday. But GiveSendGo, which identifies itself as “the leader in Christian funding,” decided to keep the campaign on its platform active. One of the crowdfunding site’s founders, Heather Wilson, told Newsweek in a statement on Thursday that the site was “committed to giving both sides of the political culture in our society an equal chance to let their voices be heard....

Like other women in baseball, Christina Whitlock has her narrative to tell. Whitlock was appointed as the fourth coach in the St. Louis Cardinals minor league organization in 2020. This role includes coaching and scouting and is designed to give participants their first taste of working in professional baseball. Whitlock was going to be the fourth coach two years ago, but COVID canceled the minor league season. That didn’t stop her from following her dreams....
After a mini-break, Christmas Carol is back for its third and final part of the series. Having looked at one half of the EPL clubs earlier on, what is to be inferred is that not many of the conjectural wishes can actually happen. For instance, Liverpool’s hopes of signing David Villa was dealt a severe blow when the striker injured himself while playing for Barcelona against Al-Sadd in a Club World Cup fixture in Japan....

The desktop version of Google’s Chrome web browser will get a pair of new settings for you to adjust to improve performance. More precisely, these upcoming mode settings will let you better optimize how much (or how little) of your system memory and battery power that Chrome uses. Energy Saver mode, which Google says will make Chrome use 40 percent less energy, will automatically kick in (if it’s turned on) once your battery drops to 20 percent....
Father Gregory Loughney was arrested Friday by the Pocono Mountain Regional Police Department and charged with four counts connected to alleged inappropriate contact with a minor after a successful internet sting operation.
