The Impact Of Deus Ex The Deus Ex franchise is one of the highest regarded examples of the cyberpunk genre in video games, taking a head-on approach to the topics of transhumanism while incorporating elements such as hacking and body modification into game design....

But hold on, nostalgia buffs. While wealthy individuals, such as the Red Sox’s John Henry and Tom Werner, have recently bought into baseball, many of today’s teams remain corporate-owned, even by media. The Atlanta Braves (Time Warner), the Toronto Blue Jays (Rogers Communications)and the Chicago Cubs (Tribune Co.) all happen to have competitive teams this year. The Cubs succeed as a business because they avoid the levels of bureaucracy that often stifle corporate-owned sports franchises, says club CEO Andy MacPhail....

TOULOUSE, France (Reuters) - Italy goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon denied that Friday’s Euro 2016 opponents Sweden are a one-man team but says they are wary of “superstar” forward Zlatan Ibrahimovic. Buffon shone alongside defenders Andrea Barzagli, Giorgio Chiellini and Leonardo Bonucci as Italy beat Belgium 2-0 in their Group E opener, but the quartet now face the ominous prospect of subduing Ibrahimovic in Toulouse. “Clearly we are wary of Zlatan, because he is one of a small group of absolute superstars that really make the difference for the teams they play for,” Buffon told reporters....

The former Sevilla captain was instrumental in Barcelona’s treble-winning campaign back in 2014 under Luis Enrique. Since that brilliant season under Lucho, Rakitic’s form was drastically affected by unusual rotations and changes in tactics. With the on-fire trio of Messi-Suarez-Neymar under his control, Luis Enrique tilted the fulcrum of the Barcelona system towards the offensive line, against the traditions of a superlative midfield at the club. The famed Tiki-Taka style of Barcelona diminished over the time and affected the performances of the Croat....

It is a particularly daring thought when one approaches the situation in Israel and Palestine, where nothing short of another world entirely is exactly what we need. Yet current conceptualizations of the situation decidedly fail to pave the way for any other reality than the tragic one existing now. Some refuse to criticize Israel no matter what her transgressions, while others refuse to acknowledge even her right to exist. Neither far right wing nor far left wing propaganda—one so filled with willful ignorance and the other so filled with hate—can pave the way to a solution....

Biden’s historic genocide recognition made the United States the 30th country in the world to classify as such the ethnic cleansing that experts estimate killed a million Armenians and hundreds of thousands of other minorities, including Assyrians and Greeks, at the hands of the Ottoman Empire during World War I. The decision immediately put the U.S. at odds with NATO ally Turkey, the modern successor to the Ottoman Empire. Ankara acknowledges that there were widespread killings amid clashes at the time, but denies that it was part of a systematic campaign that qualifies as genocide....
