Mohammed Habib, 14, passed away on October 24. Less than a week later, Harry Towers, a 15-year-old boy who attended the same school, died after catching the virus. Both boys were pupils at St. John Fisher Catholic College in Newcastle-under-Lyme in England. Neither of them had been vaccinated against COVID-19. However, they, along with 12-to-15-year-old pupils at St John Fisher Catholic College, were due to receive COVID-19 and flu shots at school on October 8, just weeks before the boys died....

Chennaiyin became the first ISL outfit to enter the AFC Cup group stage after overcoming Sri Lanka’s Colombo FC in the South Zone qualifying playoff by a 1-0 aggregate scoreline last month. Jeje Lalpekhlua scored the winner for CFC in the second leg in Ahmedabad after the first had finished goalless.

One thing I noticed when I first played Civilization V was the surprising lack of leaders. Having played Civilization since it was originally launched back in 1991, I was always enthralled by the number of civilizations and leaders that you could play with. These different leaders, and Civilization’s wide range of gameplay styles and techniques, made playing Civ truly dynamic. Though the gameplay changes in Civ V offered a new kinda of dynamics, there wasn’t a lot of range in the leader selections....

Starting with the top-level reveals of the teaser, the one-minute clip discusses something that invades Villages and shapes attacks. We also see a bunch of Hog Riders arranged in the shape of “13.” Not only does this overtly confirm the incoming arrival of Town Hall 13, but it also suggests players may gain the ability to deploy Troops in custom formations. About 20 seconds into the teaser we also see this image....

Tottenham Hotspur fan favorite Teddy Sheringham has asked the Anfield star to join his former club based in north London. The former striker cheekily offered Salah in the midst of his ongoing contract saga with the Reds, a slot with Spurs, telling TalkSPORT: Salah’s current deal has only 18 months left on it and he has reached an impasse in negotiations with the Reds for months concerning an extension. The club continues to play hardball in response to his demands, despite the 29-year-old insisting that he is not asking for “crazy” terms....

The Indian team toured New Zealand for a five-match T20I series back in January this year and in the fourth game of the series, Samson was given an opportunity at the top of the order. The youngster got off to a good start and collected his first six off Scott Kuggeleijn’s bowling, but went for one shot too many early on and was removed for a 5-ball 8. The match went into the Super Over and the Indian team needed to chase down a 14-run target....

Those who played the original game will immediately be able to jump in and play, as the controls and user interface remain largely unchanged. Luckily, the UI is already very polished, and newbies will quickly grasp how to switch through units and react quickly as the shape of the battlefield changes around them. Combat and gameplay will feel and look the same at first, but it’s all the under-the-hood changes and improvements which make the difference for the second title....

With Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare, developers Sledgehammer Games hoped to take those players’ preconceived notions about story and dig a little deeper. They wanted to create a world state that, although it is fiction, feels believable and real. To that end, Sledgehammer’s Glen Schofield tells CVG about the story’s roots in reality. As he explains, Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare isn’t trying to take liberties with history, but if it can challenge the player’s thinking then that may be worth it....

For disabled gamers, the website, “Can I Play That?” (CIPT) reviews games through the lens of accessibility. This month, the website reviewed Horizon Forbidden West, giving it a 5.5 out of 10, with its pros listed as easy loot systems, remapping, assist features, and lit-up climbable ledges, while its cons listed as small subtitles, illegible text, and combat that requires precision. These accessibility reviews are just one of many amazing ways CIPT covers the experience of disabled players, as they also provide inclusivity workshops, news, commentary, and personal stories....

Kai, real name is Jasmine English, she was eliminated from the Kevin and Frankie Jonas-hosted show on the August 15 episode, after managing to successfully sail through the first half of the series without her co-stars guessing her celebrity connection.

The New York City restaurant, named Lucky Lee’s, announced its closure via an Instagram post on Sunday. The establishment’s time in business was met with allegations of racism and cultural insensitivity, as the restaurant was opened by a white couple, health coach and chef Arielle Haspel and her husband Lee Haspel. Lucky Lee’s, named after Lee Haspel, offered a casual menu of modified takes on American Chinese fare like General Tso’s chicken and lo mein....

Luis de la Fuente coaches Spain’s Olympic team, who have qualified for the upcoming Games, and suggested he would be proud to coach Ramos, who has discussed the possibility of appearing....

But people aren’t the only ones affected by these new measures—Thai zookeepers told Reuters Thursday that their penguins miss human visitors. “I noticed that they felt a bit confused because when they walk out, there’s usually a lot of people waiting for them,” said Tossapol Kosol, a penguin specialist at the Khao Kheow Open Zoo in Chonburi. “Now when they come out and there’s no one here, they sometimes stop to look around, as if they’re wondering where all the people have gone....
