Susan and Eugene’s situation illustrates the predicament that an increasing number of working- and lower-middle class young adults are facing. Runway housing prices and skyrocketing rental costs mean that everyday Americans are struggling to find safe, affordable places to live. Home prices are almost 20 percent more expensive and rents 15 percent higher than they were just a year ago. And the challenge of keeping a roof over one’s head will impact family formation for years to come....

The Ascent’s campaign takes 9-14 hours to beat, but completionist players can expect to be playing for 15-22. This is due to the 24 optional side missions that are available for players to complete. Although they’re not as long as the 12 main missions, they give a chance to further explore the world of Veles. To make sure players get them all, here’s a complete list of every main and side mission in The Ascent....

We summarise Saturday’s action in Brisbane, where it is advantage Australia. THE HEADLINES Smith played a captain’s knock, finishing 141 not out – his 21st Test hundred – after Shaun Marsh (51) and Pat Cummins (42) had provided support as Australia recovered from 209-7 to 328 all out in reply to 302. Hazlewood (2-11) dismisses Alastair Cook (7) and James Vince (2) with the new ball, England closing on 33-2 with a lead of only seven runs....

Rafa was expected to come back on court in Qatar but that did not happen. Then he withdrew from the Australian Open, which was another blow to his fans. Not only his fans, but tennis fans in general have missed him and the long battles on the tennis courts of Melbourne. When he decided to make a comeback, he chose to do so in an ATP 250 level tournament – Viña del Mar, Chile and, of course, on his favorite surface – clay....

When George W. Bush first linked the three nations in the rhetorical red flag that was the centerpiece of his speech, he bewildered some of those within the foreign-policy community and threw a few of America’s allies into an overnight swivet. The alarm bells rang so shrilly that at one juncture on his recent Asian trip the president was obliged to say that he had no intention of invading North Korea....

What the bizarre, schizoid, previously testosteronian world of sports talk radio is coming to these days is, in fact, Donnellan. In only her second year of national syndication, Donnellan, a.k.a. The Babe, has become the hottest new voice in the airstream. When ESPN Radio launched her on the Fourth of July in 1994 from a tiny studio in Bristol, Conn., fewer than 30 stations signed on-and at their peril. Who would tune in to a woman talking sports?...

The title provided the world of gaming with another fantastic universe to explore, and a story drenched in Nordic mythology. Not only that, but the game’s take on the traditional turn-based battle system made The Banner Saga a tactical RPG with a difference. The game proved so successful that Stoic is already working on a sequel. The success of the original game also allowed Stoic to branch the first Banner Saga out onto platforms other than PC and Mac....

After all, you came up with it so you know the rules. But what about when you have to get someone else involved to help you out?...

The Batman, which will follow Robert Pattinson as the Caped Crusader during his second year of crime-fighting, looks to kick off a new shared universe with a bang, as two direct sequels and two other spin-off series for HBO Max are in early development. Much like Chrisopher Nolan’s Dark Knight trilogy, Reeves looks to add a fresh perspective to the character, and judging by reported early reactions to The Batman, he appears to be doing just that....

With 40,000 men on duty, 20,000 of which were stationed on and around Taksim, police fired tear gas and rubber bullets to prevent protesters from reaching the square. Clashes erupted in various parts of the city, including Besiktas, home to Carsi, the widely popular militant support group of Besiktas JK. Turkish media reports said 51 people were injured and 138 arrested. The significance of Taksim to both the government and its critics was highlighted by the fact that the government banned May Day celebrations on the square on alleged national security grounds but assigned an area on the outskirts of the city where the unions and others would be allowed to mark Labour Day....

The President’s Men and Iraq President Bush’s style of leadership is bold and forthright, and he has no fear of criticism. He appointed men like Colin Powell and Donald Rumsfeld because they understand more than he does the parameters of the threat that we’re faced with and which must be dealt with (“War Over War: Rumsfeld vs. Powell–And America vs. the World,” Sept. 16). Yes, their approaches are as different as their jobs....

From tracking who made the latest changes to a document, to how the document was before the changes, to tagging a colleague to review the document, it’s never been easier to manage a project....

Let’s take a look at the top-tier 2D platformers (what’s 2D mean compared to 3D?) available on modern systems that everyone should experience at least once. Keep in mind that we’re sticking to pure platformers, so we won’t include sub-genres like Metroidvania games or action platformers like Contra. 1. Rayman Legends Many people forgot about Rayman—after starting life as a 2D platformer, he had a few 3D games before the Raving Rabbids spin-off series took over the name....

Unfortunately, the locker room was in for a string of bad luck. Seth Rollins, Bray Wyatt, and John Cena suffered injuries that kept each of these top tier stars from being booked for the biggest show of the year. Daniel Bryan had just retired. The Rock couldn’t get pinned down for a full-fledged match booking. Brock Lesnar came across as operating at his least motivated. To make matters worse, despite all of the talent unavailable, or not at their best, the show nonetheless reached marathon levels, going on and on and on with few high spots to perk up the crowd....

Of course, much of the game’s success can be attributed to Nintendo’s constant support especially with the recent release of the Summer Update that saw the return of Dream Islands from Animal Crossing: New Leaf, which allows players to visit copies of other player’s islands through dream journeys. Now, for those interested in seeing what’s out there, here are the best user-created Dream Islands that players can visited right now in Animal Crossing: New Horizons....

The following brave boys put their feelings of fondness on full display, unashamed of their brotherly bonding sessions inMy Hero Academia. 8 Tetsutetsu And Kirishima These two peas in a pod both possess a hardening Quirk that quite literally makes them the toughest guys around....

RELATED: Dragon Ball Characters That Were Nerfed Note: IMDB’s episode list is of the original Dragon Ball Zdub, which is a total of 277 episodes rather than the original 291. Therefore, the names and episode numbers won’t line up perfectly, but there’s no doubt that these moments would still rank near the top if they did. Also, most shorter sagas have been condensed into their larger arcs. 10 Saiyan: “Goku vs....

Horror is hardly in short supply these days. Resident Evil is having its own renaissance, and indie games like Carrion have added their own unique twists to the genre. The recently-concluded E3 2021 showed that the library of modern horror games is, fortunately, about to get even larger throughout the next few years. A spiritual successor to a horror classic, an unexpectedly high-quality adaptation of a legendary film franchise, and a terrifying twist on a long-dormant series were just some of the surprises fans of the genre got treated to at E3....

Season 3 of Black Ops Cold War has arrived, and there have been some changes to a variety of weapons. That, of course, means changes to the weapon meta in the eyes of players. The Krig 6 has always been a solid choice for any player wanting to run with an assault rifle class. The Season 3 update did not change that, because it is still arguably the best and most consistent AR in Black Ops Cold War....
