The initiative is part of a pledge to ensure next year’s Games leave lasting benefits for Rio’s inhabitants, according to City Hall secretary Pedro Paulo Teixeira, Xinhua reported on Wednesday. “Since the start, when Rio de Janeiro won the right to host the Games, our plan was to invest in the legacy that would be left to the city,” Teixeira said in comments published by Rio2016.com. “The construction projects are simple and efficient, nothing too far-fetched....

Before Zion is wiped out, Neo must penetrate the Mainframe of the Matrix and confront its maker....

Paul called out Brown last month and the seven-time Pro Bowler appeared keen on the idea of a fight as he replied telling the YouTuber to “square up” while revealing he intended to enlist the help of former five-weight world champion Floyd Mayweather Jr. While current free agent Brown has yet to swap the gridiron for a boxing ring, Paul has donned the gloves already for two fights against fellow vlogger KSI, who won their rematch in November after the first contest ended in a draw....

Now Paul, the YouTube sensation, has released a diss track video on Brown, entitled “Going Broke.” From cheeky lines like “Head Look Like Some Tetris” and “Cuz Your Career Fell Apart Like One Direction,” Paul further challenges Brown, often while wearing a Tom Brady Patriots jersey under a hoodie. You can watch the full video below. Brown last caught an NFL pass from Brady in Week 2 of the 2019 regular season, as part of his four grabs on eight targets for 56 yards and a touchdown against the Dolphins in Miami....

The long-awaited season finale of Loki premiered on Disney Plus on Wednesday and answered several fan questions, while leading to many new ones and ending off at a massive cliffhanger. Though most of the episode was carried forward by powerful monologues and dialogues, something Loki seemed to have perfected over the course of six episodes, the series finale did prove a major fan theory to be true. Even before the series premiered, many fans were convinced that Kang the Conqueror would be making an appearance in the highly-anticipated Marvel show and would go on to be the main villain of Phase 4 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe....

In Loki, the God of Mischief is not only a prisoner, but a new fish in the Time Variance Authority (TVA), who finds himself working with Mobius M. Mobius (Owen Wilson), a longtime expert on the TVA.

The London Marathon will go ahead this weekend after security arrangements were reviewed in the wake of the bombings that caused carnage at the Boston Marathon, organisers and police said on Tuesday. Three people were killed and more than 170 wounded, some with horrific injuries, in two explosions as runners approached the finish line in Boston on Monday. The FBI vowed to go “to the ends of the Earth” to find those responsible for the worst attack in the United States since the September 11, 2001 atrocities....

“What’s up, have you gone mad?” We get such a question casually hurled at us almost every day. Nine times out of ten, neither the speaker nor the receiver takes the meaning of the statement seriously. John McEnroe, on the other hand, was perfectly solemn when he called Bjorn Borg up six years back. The American, who had spent his entire life with a maddening temper, continued the phone call with solid determination and purpose....

Speaking to reporters Wednesday after President Joe Biden announced an additional $3 billion in military aid to Ukraine, Defense Under Secretary Colin Kahl said long-range Army Tactical Missile System (ATACMS) munitions, which are capable of hitting targets at a distance of more than 280 kilometers, are not currently needed. Since June, the U.S. has provided 16 High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems (HIMARS), which have played a vital part in Ukraine’s ability to fight off the Russian invasion....

“First of all, pulling him down to the ground face down and putting your knee on the neck for that amount of time is just uncalled for,” Zimmerman, who described himself as the “number one officer in seniority,” said on the witness stand. “I saw no reason why the officers felt they were in danger, if that’s what they felt, and that’s what they would have to feel to be able to use that kind of force,” he added on Friday....

Despite opening Big 12 play against a ranked opponent, Longhorns fans apparently had better things to do then to cheer on their 1-2 team. MORE: Saturday’s best snapshots | Top 25 results | Joe Wickline vs. Oklahoma State Maybe fans were just late arriving.

Ryan was the father of Bills coach Rex Ryan and Bills assistant Rob Ryan.

The Rings of Power had its defenders from the cast members of the movies—the actors behind the Hobbits particularly taking to Twitter to defend the mixed-race casting—but other actors like Hill think the overall execution of the series was lacking. Hill told Metro UK he wasn’t impressed by what he viewed as a cash grab. “It’s a money-making venture and I’m not interested in watching that or being in it," Hill said....

Naturally, the idea for Lord of the Rings NFTs didn’t go unnoticed last year when crypto markets were hitting all-time highs, but the only collectibles that came out were unlicensed NFTs that provoked the ire and legal action of the Tolkien Estate. NFTs are essentially unique digital collectibles running on some form of blockchain technology whose ownership is recorded through a digital ledger similar to the one powering popular cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, and while Warner Bros....

Curtis Jones scored the winner for Jurgen Klopp’s side in the second half, after Andre Onana failed to deal with a deep cross from Neco Williams from the right flank. Jones made the run to the back post and had the task of tapping the ball into an empty net, after Onana had misread it. Klopp also gave a Champions League debut to goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher in the absence of Alisson Becker, who was ruled out with a hamstring injury....

Liverpool took 40 minutes to breach a well organised Leicester defence, after James Milner’s wonderfully weighted through ball found Sadio Mane, who slotted it past Kasper Schmeichel, thereby scoring his 50th league goal for The Reds. The initial exchanges saw Leicester’s midfield and defence hold their shape, which led to Liverpool to attack through the wings. The second half saw Liverpool control possession and thwart Leicester’s midfield from feeding the likes of Jamie Vardy, who looked isolated against the pairing of Dejan Lovren and Virgil van Dijk....
