The sweeping job cuts in tech standout from the rest of the jobs figures, according to the latest data. The non farm payroll figure for November was 263,000, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS).

Pietersen will be available for Surrey’s opening game of the County Championship season on Sunday April 19. The right-handed batsman obtained the permission of his Indian Premier League franchise Sunrisers Hyderabad to play for the English side. The move is viewed by the cricketing fraternity to be Pietersen’s latest effort to earn a recall to the England team. He was sacked by the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) after getting into repeated confrontations with his teammates and coaches....
[HTML1] There’s a reason that mental institutions are such a go-to location for horror stories: crazy people frighten us, and our own madness frightens us, so what better place to combine the two than in a institution where insanity lives? To exemplify this trend, there are three upcoming indie survival horror titles that are all set in psychiatric hospitals: Senscape Interactive’s Asylum, Psychoz Interactive’s Forgotten Memories for the Wii U, and Red Barrels Games’ Outlast....
Also known as the First Temple, the structure was completed during Solomon’s reign in 957 B.C. In a dig supervised by Filip Vukosavovic, director of the Ancient Jerusalem Research Center, a section of the fortification has been uncovered in the City of David National Park, casting doubt on the biblical narrative that it was torn down on every side. “The entire Chaldean [Babylonian] force that was with the chief of the guard tore down the walls of Jerusalem on every side,” according to the Second Book of Kings, chapter 25, verse 10....
As they entered the room, they heard a series of loud bangs that sounded like they were coming from the hallway, or maybe from the class next door. “Please tell me that’s not what I think it is,” the teacher, Madame Jocelyne Couture-Nowak, said to the class. “We told her it was no big deal,” Goddard told NEWSWEEK. “There has been a lot of construction going on at Norris. People were complaining about it all semester, and it sounded like it could have been a hammer....
This episode was a classic as far as Merges go - chaotic strategy, high stress levels for basically every player, and a potentially game-changing vote for a lot of the contestants. This is one of those episodes where a narrative thread is set up for one player in particular, giving an early hint that they’re going to be important to the story in this episode, but not so obvious that the audience can immediately guess what’s going to happen....
The trend sees users prop their phone up on an empty plate on the conveyor belt, letting it film as it makes its way around the restaurant. The outcome normally involved joyous reactions from other guests as they smile or wave at the camera. However, the practice has also been criticised by some who feel it’s an invasion of privacy, and one sushi restaurant went as far as to put a sign up to deter visitors from attempting it....
Prosecutor John Schneider presented footage of the incident in a court hearing for Williams on Tuesday night. In the footage, Williams can be heard talking on the phone with someone prior to Moldovan approaching him, the police probable-cause statement said. “He’s heard on body camera before the crimes occurred, saying something like he was going back to jail. A short time later, he shot at police presumably to avoid any apprehension,” said Schneider....
The likes of Ava DuVernay, Jada Pinkett Smith and Sheryl Lee Ralph paid tribute to Douglas online, with DuVernay calling her a “gem of a lady.” She had over 40 acting credits to her name and worked with a number of legends on the screen.

Sweden have punched above their weight at Euro 2020 this year and can potentially top their group this year. The Swedes have a robust squad and hold a slight upper hand going into this game. Poland, on the other hand, made a poor start to their Euro 2020 campaign but bounced back with a strong performance against Spain. The Poles have impressive players at their disposal and have a point to prove against Sweden....
In their last encounter, La Roja looked to be cruising towards a victory, with a Saul Niguez strike putting them in the ascendancy. However, Kepa Arrizabalaga made a blunder as he clattered into the Norwegian captain, handing the opposition a lifeline. Joshua King stepped up to take the spot-kick and ensured the spoils were shared, halting La Roja’s celebrations. Despite the setback, Robert Moreno’s men need just a point to book a ticket to next year’s European showpiece....
This is what Saburo Ienaga’s ordeal about: in a 1980 textbook he wrote about the infamous “Unit 731”–the Imperial Army’s gruesome experiments in bacteriological-weapons development during the war. The Ministry of Education, saying it was “too early” for such material to be in textbooks, stripped out the reference. In another book Ienaga wrote that during the Nanking massacre Japanese troops “raped Chinese women.” The ministry said such things happen in all wars, and therefore it should not be included in a textbook as if it were “a specific case....
For Thursday’s games — despite every team being a major conference, brand-name school — the favorites are getting all the love from the public at William Hill sports books. The only game in which the money count majority differs from the ticket count majority is Miami-Villanova. There was some sharp action on the Hurricanes at 4.5 earlier in the week. Sweet 16 picks: UVA-ISU | UNC-IU | Wisc-ND | Miami-Nova | Duke-Oregon | Mary-KU...
With just seconds left in the third and final minute of stoppage time, substitute Haris Seferovic finished off a length-of-the-field move by slamming home a close-range shot.

It was the fifth time in the first nine matches in Brazil that a team had come from a goal down to win — but this was the most dramatic of all the comebacks....
