British Prime Minister Boris Johnson and French Prime Minister Jean Castex respectively voiced support for the two-dose vaccination—developed by pharmaceutical and biotechnology company AstraZeneca in partnership with the University of Oxford—as a number of European countries temporarily suspended administration earlier this week. The suspensions came as reports surfaced detailing unusual bleeding and blood clots in a small group of the vaccine’s recipients, some of whom passed away. Echoing advice from the World Health Organization (WHO), an expert panel at the European Medicines Agency concluded Thursday that the Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine’s health benefits, as far as protection from COVID-19, outweigh risks of possible adverse side effects and encouraged eligible individuals to opt for immunizations as usual....

The hosts started the better of the two but quickly receded into a holding pattern. The above enabled Barcelona to dominate possession and the first half followed the same trend. The clearest chance of the period fell to Jadon Sancho, who blazed his shot over the bar from just outside the box. Dortmund though, got into the ascendancy after the break and looked to dent their illustrious rivals. They even fashioned themselves a penalty but Marc-Andre ter Stegen superbly denied Marco Reus....

The game got off to a lightning start with Dortmund threatening early on, but it would be the visitors who would strike first with Milot Rashica opening the scoring in only the 7th minute. That lead barely lasted two minutes as Mario Gotze who replaced Paco Alcacer in the starting XI got onto the scoresheet. Werder Bremen spent most of the game sitting back and absorbing Dortmund’s pressure. But in the 41st minute, a curling cross from Thorgan Hazard found the head of Marco Reus who put his side ahead with a deft header under pressure....

A photo finish, including a sprint to the finish line, decided the elite men’s division as Kenya’s Lawrence Cherono spoiled the chance for Lelisa Desisa of Ethiopia to win his third straight Boston Marathon title. The one-second margin of victory was the race’s closest finish since 1988 with Cherono clocking an unofficial 2:07:59 and Desisa clocking a 2:08:00. The elite women’s race was a different story. Worknish Degefa of Ethiopia won in comfortable fashion after taking the lead in Mile 4 and expanding her lead over second place to three minutes at the 18th mile....

Dortmund lost for the first time in the league to RB Leipzig a week ago before drawing 1-1 away to APOEL in the Champions League, a result that leaves Bosz’s men on the brink of being eliminated. Wolfsburg 9/1 to beat Hoffenheim 1-0 Goals from Nuri Sahin and Maximilian Philipp had put Dortmund on track for a morale-boosting three points at the Commerzbank-Arena only for Dortmund to subsequently collapse in a ruinous five-minute spell to draw 2-2....

This time, Tide quarterback Jalen Hurts was sacked by Marquis Haynes, which led to a fumble recovery by Ole Miss’s John Youngblood, who returned it for a touchdown. MORE: Gamecenter | Shocking blowouts Haynes lowered his head, and could very well have been called for targeting. However, the referees missed the hit, which means Haynes wasn’t penalized — or ejected. On top of that, a late hit by an Ole Miss player on a defenseless Alabama player should have negated the touchdown, since it happened before Youngblood entered the end zone....

Characters like Roland, Maya, and Scooter all get some love through this system, as players can gather weapons and cosmetics themed around these deceased characters.

For those interested in this new progression system, here is everything that can be obtained from the current Vault Card....

In Borderlands 2 and Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel, Tiny Tina was a young, quirky explosives expert who sought brutal revenge for the death of her parents. Obsessed with detonation, Tiny Tina was one of Borderlands 2’s many highlights and offered some of the best dialogue in the game, all thanks to actress Ashly Burch’s passionate and hilarious performance. Amidst uncertainty over Ashly Burch’s return to the role, given that time has passed between the events of Borderlands 2 and Borderlands 3, one Twitter user directly asked Gearbox Software CEO Randy Pitchford on the platform if the actress was going to return....

Originally, the Maliwan Blacksite event was supposed to feature a variant that would scale difficulty based on the number of players in the activity. This was a highly anticipated release for solo Borderlands 3 players who did not enjoy relying on matchmaking for the activity and preferred to farm on their own terms.

It’s worth mentioning that this article will contain MINOR SPOILERS for the characters and locations of the story, but thankfully, this is something that’s easy enough to speak about without diving into the newest Borderlands 3 DLC’s story.

With each main Borderlands game giving gamers a Siren to play as, it is not much of a leap to suggest that Borderlands 4 will do the same. However, it is also worth noting that each Siren has had a different ability. While the next entry in the series could introduce a new power, as one Siren ability remains unknown, there is a good case to be made for letting players wield Tyreen Calypso’s Phaseleech instead....

Dortmund looked to be in for a nervous finish after Wendell scored a stunning free-kick to leave Leverkusen just a goal behind their hosts with 16 minutes to go, but Christian Pulisic, Andre Schurrle and Raphael Guerreiro then went on to score for the hosts to clinch an emphatic win and make the most of Leipzig’s 2-2 draw at Augsburg on Friday. The hosts looked like scoring every time they attacked and were fully deserving of their early lead through Ousmane Dembele, before Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang was decisive in doubling their tally just before the half-hour mark....

Among them is ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith, who today told ‘First Take’ that Irving won’t remain in Boston: In case you didn’t know… Irving was selected by the Cleveland Cavaliers as the first pick of the 2011 draft. The point guard went on to spend six years in Cleveland, most notably playing a major role in the Cavs’ 2016 NBA Finals win over the Golden State Warriors. Nevertheless, Irving requested a trade 12 months later due to his desire to lead his own team, and the 26-year-old has since established himself as the face of the Celtics....

In 2016, Tsarnaev was ordered to pay more than $101 million in criminal restitution and a $3,000 special assessment. The filing said that Tsarnaev has since paid a little over $2,200, and all of that money went toward the special assessment. According to reports, Tsarnaev had just over $3,885 in his inmate trust account as of December 22. The filing alleged that while he hasn’t paid any restitution to the victims as he has been ordered to by the court, he has used his account to pay his siblings for things like “gifts,” “support” and “books....
