Tony Meredith began to develop flu-like symptoms around five days afterwards, which progressively worsened to the point where he decided to go to hospital, WDHN reported. He was initially diagnosed with a kidney infection, but after his leg turned purple, doctors took bacterial samples which showed Meredith had necrotizing fasciitis—a rare, potentially fatal infection caused by several different types of bacteria which move rapidly through the body attacking the skin and soft tissue, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC....

“Effective immediately I have rescinded the social distancing order that took effect on the morning of April 1, 2020,” Mayor Troy Brumbalow wrote in a statement posted to Facebook. “While the intent of the order was to protect the public from the spread of COVID-19, it is obvious that a large portion of our public doesn’t want government mandating the recommendations of public health officials,” the statement adds. His previous social distancing order prohibited any business, establishment, corporation, nonprofit or organization from having more than 10 people in a single location....

Tuesday’s runoff elections were two hard-fought battles and the race between Perdue and Ossoff is the most expensive Senate race in U.S. history, according to OpenSecrets. With the fate of the Senate on the line, the candidates and outside groups spent more than $470 million and it paid off for Democrats because Ossoff ousting Perdue from office helped take control away from Republicans. With 98 percent of the votes counted, Ossoff had 50....

The bill is championed by Republicans as a way to ensure fair and secure elections, and Democrats are calling it voter suppression. The state became a national battleground last year for both the presidential election and two U.S. Senate runoffs. Donald Trump lost the state, and eventually the White House. Two Democrats won their senate runoffs, thus flipping the majority in the U.S. Senate. The new voting law includes voter ID for absentee ballots, fewer drop boxes and it makes it a crime to bring food and water to voters who wait in lines to cast their ballots....

Swedish Prime Minister Magdalena Andersson said on Monday that Russia would be explicitly excluded from participating in a separate and ongoing probe of the leaks detected last month in the Nord Stream 1 and Nord Stream 2 pipelines. The lines were designed to deliver natural gas from Russia to Germany. Andersson said that any preliminary results of Sweden’s “confidential” investigation would not be shared with Russia, with the caveat that Sweden was powerless to stand in the way of Russian ships visiting the area of the explosions and potentially conducting their own investigations, according to Reuters....

Boateng has been instrumental at the back for the Germans, who have yet to concede a goal at the tournament. He came off after 76 minutes and walked gingerly to the bench. “I don’t know exactly about Boateng. I hope the medical staff will succeed and I assume he will play in the next game,” Loew said. He said Boateng had felt his calf at halftime and that he had decided to take him off as a precautionary measure....

Stich, 49, and Sukova, 53, will be enshrined Saturday in ceremonies at the ATP Hall of Fame Classic in the sporting showplace at Newport, Rhode Island. Stich won his only Grand Slam singles crown at Wimbledon in 1991, downing countryman Boris Becker in straight sets in the final. He was a runner-up at the 1994 US Open, falling to Andre Agassi, and in the 1996 French Open, losing to Russian Yevgeny Kafelnikov....

The defending champions Spain went into the game against Germany as favourites. The 2009 winners had to get something out of the game to stay alive in the tournament. A win for Spain, however, would mean curtains for Germany and semis for the Spaniards. It was a closely fought affair, with no side looking like taking the initiative. It was eventually Spain that looked to get the ball rolling, and seemed to be the better of the two side....

Jackson is doing better this time around. Six weeks ago, she and a handful of fellow Zimbabwean journalists began broadcasting from a cramped studio in London to an eager audience in the troubled southern African nation. Their station, SW Radio Africa, is their country’s only live independent radio voice at a time when Zimbabwe’s president, Robert Mugabe, is trying tighten the country’s already-harsh media restrictions ahead of next month’s presidential elections....

And the best news is that it could be with you by Wednesday. Portable heaters don’t tend to be particularly nice to look at, erring on the functional side of design. (The exception to this rule are Dyson bladeless heaters. If you have more budget, the £399 Hot + Cool, which doubles as a fan for summer, is a great option. Even more to spend? You can get the air purifying Pure Hot + Cool for £549....

Collecting Original Resin is an important aspect of the game, because it is the energy players need to collect rewards. If looking to grab rewards from Ley Line Blossoms, clearing Domains, Bosses, or event-exclusive challenges, players will need to fork over some resin. While these challenges could be done without resin, those playing this way would not be able to claim the rewards. RELATED: Genshin Impact: Genesis Crystals Explained...

As of a post on the morning of December 19, 2020, miHoYo has officially conceded to fans’ demands that Zhongli be significantly adjusted. The Genshin Impact character will receive a series of upgrades that will be available in the upcoming Version 1.3 beta test of the game. RELATED: Genshin Impact: Everything You Need To Know About New 1.2 Four-Star Weapons Though incredibly popular, Zhongli was released as a substantially weak character when compared to similar five-stars....

The game’s attention to detail, especially in the recently introduced Sumeru region has probably a large impact on the overall size of Genshin Impact’s game file. Reddit user demiwaltz has started an interesting debate on the matter on the game’s official subReddit. RELATED: Genshin Impact Chart Reveals Nilou and Albedo First Day Banner Revenue They shared an image showing that the size of their game file is 47.9 GB at the moment....

Each fate costs 160 Primogems and can be spent to make one wish on the banner, and the Intertwined Fates are far more popular since they can be spent on the limited Genshin Impact banners. Genshin Impact players occasionally convert their Primogems into Acquaint Fates by mistake which can be frustrating because players can spend these Fates only on the game’s Standard banner. Luckily, a recent post on the Genshin Impact Reddit has revealed that there is hope for players who’ve made this mistake....

Genshin Impact’s Cat’s Tail Tavern in Mondstadt opened its doors for the first time in version 3.3, which launched on December 7. Players with Adventure Rank 32 and up received the tutorial quest “Come Try Genius Invokation TCG!” after installing the update, allowing them to visit Cat’s Tail and become familiar with the card game’s mechanics.

What Is Geofencing? Geofencing uses GPS (Global Positioning System), RFID (radio frequency identification), Wi-Fi, cellular data, or combinations of all four technologies to determine the location of a device being tracked. Geofencing technologies and apps can do things like: Notify you when your child leaves school. Set areas your teen is allowed to drive in or designate areas where they are not allowed to go. Combine with smart home systems to control lights, locks, and temperature in your home....

Floyd’s family filed a federal lawsuit in July 2020 against the city and the four officers involved in the arrest that led to Floyd’s death, alleging that the officers violated his rights when restraining him. The lawsuit also took issue with neck restraints, police policies and training, among other things. “George Floyd’s horrific death, witnessed by millions of people around the world, unleashed a deep longing and undeniable demand for justice and change,” family attorney Ben Crump said in a statement....

Original story follows. George R.R. Martin’s contribution to Elden Ring was always one of the more notable parts of the game’s development. It was unclear what impact the A Song of Ice and Fire author would have on Elden Ring’s world-building and narrative before it launched, but it appears as if many references and Easter eggs have also been influenced by Martin’s contributions. Like Dark Souls and Bloodborne before it, Elden Ring’s bosses have been a huge point of discussion, especially due to how prolific they are throughout the open-world Lands Between....

The chattering classes can afford to relax about North Korea because we know the real target is Iraq. At a breakfast briefing earlier this month with a Defense Department official, the moderator asked the lawyers, lobbyists, business types and journalists in attendance for a show of hands: Would America be at war with Iraq within a year? Just about every hand went up. Most pundits and policymakers in Washington figure the Bush administration will take military action against Iraq within six months–just in time for the fall elections....
