7ft 6in Tacko Fall has scorched college basketball but is he too tall for NBA?

But many professional teams will see him as one-dimensional You could be forgiven for thinking this years NCAA Tournament, the culmination of the college basketball season, is all about Zion Williamson and his Duke teammates.

Bernie Sanders Tests An Updated Pitch In Once-Hostile Territory
NORTH CHARLESTON, S.C. ― When Sen. (I-Vt.) traveled to South Carolina for the first time as a 2020 presidential candidate on Thursday, in the state’s Democratic presidential primary three years earlier seemed like a distant memory. Mounting the stage in the gymnasium of a Baptist church to the Doobie Brothers’ “Taking It To The Streets,” Sanders received the kind of fawning reception to which he has become accustomed in larger and more liberal American cities. The crowd, 1,600 strong, according to Sanders’ campaign, welcomed him with chants of “Ber-nie” and roars of support that initially made it hard for him to complete his sentences. “Thank you for being part of a campaign which is not only going to win the …
‘Queer Eye’ stars settle the ‘squirrel’ debate and you might not like what they have to say
Queer Eye is back, and with it, the new series has brought something of a debate to the internet. The Fab Five’s resident Brit, Tan France, said the word “squirrel” during episode one and instantly divided the internet over the correct pronunciation of the word. Well, as a fellow Brit, I’m very much Team Tan on this one. Squirrel has two syllables. Jonathan Van Ness is also Team Tan and he chimed in during an interview on Jimmy Kimmel Live. “It’s two syllables,” he said. So, as Tan says: “America, the correct pronunciation for ‘squirl’ is ‘squir-rel.’” Glad we got that cleared up. Original Article : HERE ; This post was curated & posted using : RealSpecific

Why Are So Many Ancient Statues Nose-Less?
Once or twice and you can chalk it up to an unfortunate accident, but when the majority of ancient statues have had their noses removed, something fishy is going on. Clearly, they have been targeted – but why? Edward Bleiberg, a curator for Brooklyn Museum’s Egyptian art galleries, admits it was something he took for granted until he started to notice the number of visitors questioning the nose-lessness of many of the museum’s statues. Assuming it was accidental, he decided to delve into the matter more deeply. The result, built on previous research about defacement and the afterlife, is now being presented in an exhibit called “Striking Power: Iconoclasm in Ancient Egypt”. “The consistency of the patterns where damage is found …

Kamala Harris Wants to Give States Millions to Overhaul Tech
Democratic presidential candidate and California senator Kamala Harris is introducing a bill on Thursday that would give state and local governments access to a pool of $15 million a year in grant funding, which they could use to set up tech teams and overhaul the often outdated tools and websites their constituents use every day. The bill, called the Digital Service Act of 2019, is modeled after the United States Digital Service, an elite team of geeks inside the White House working on ways to make federal government technology less clunky and confusing—and maybe even good. Launched in 2014, USDS is one of the few Obama-era passion projects to survive the Trump administration. Now Harris wants to build on its …

Stephen Colbert calls out Trump’s thin response to New Zealand terror attack
The world is still coming to terms with the tragedy of the Christchurch terror attack, including New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern. However, The Late Show host Stephen Colbert noted that Ardern “made it clear that her country was united,” after the attack by a white supremacist on two mosques in which 50 Muslim worshippers were killed.

When asked by Trump what offer of support the U.S. could provide, the prime minister simply requested “sympathy and love for all Muslim communities.” “That’s not really Trump’s brand,” said Colbert on Monday night. “Trump has trouble showing love for …
