If you’re not in the UK you might still be able to get the new Assistant on your Pixel 4 with this hack, but it looks like it won’t be long before the rollout is global. As seen in the above video, you can have contextual conversations with Assistant to advance your first query rather than repeating the “OK Google” trigger at every step. In addition, Assistant will be able to open specific apps by simply saying something like “Open Spotify”, though more complex new commands still require the trigger, such as “Hey Google, open Google Photos....

Ukraine’s Operational Command South reported in a Facebook post on Friday that its military had killed 105 Russian troops and multiple pieces of military equipment. The report comes as Ukraine has been laying the groundwork for a major counteroffensive in hopes of retaking the Russian-occupied city of Kherson and other parts of the country’s south. The command reported destroying seven tanks, two self-propelled artillery and 17 armored vehicles. Additionally, the command said it had destroyed two ammunition warehouses in two districts....

Both sides come into the fixture high on confidence, having won their previous five competitive encounters. Ukraine have done well so far in the Euro 2020 qualifiers. Portugal too are in good form with three wins from the last three games. The visitors would be able to call upon an almost full complement of players for the trip to Ukraine with William Carvalho the only injury concern. However, the likes of Danilo Pereira, Joao Moutinho, and Ruben Neves possess the requisite quality to offset that particular loss....

Russia launched its invasion of the Eastern European country in late February, claiming it was to “liberate” the separatist Donbas region and rid the Ukrainian government of Nazis—even though Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is Jewish. More than five months into the war, the stronger-than-anticipated Ukrainian defense has forced fighting to be concentrated in Eastern Ukraine, which is home to Europe’s largest nuclear facility, the Zaporizhzhia NPP. Concerns the Russian military may cause damage to the plant, therefore raising the risk of a nuclear crisis, have been ongoing since March, when Moscow’s troops seized the plant and shelling began....

The awards were given on Saturday at Oslo City Hall in Norway to representatives for the Kyiv-based Center for Civil Liberties, the banned Russian human rights group Memorial and the jailed Belarusian founder of the Viasna rights group. “Sooner or later Putin will appear before a public court,” Oleksandra Matviychuk, Center for Civil Liberties director, said at a press conference ahead of the ceremony on Friday. When she received her award on Saturday, she said that “we have to prove that the rule of law does work, and justice does exist, even if they are delayed....

On Tuesday night, UMass-Lowell demolished Wheelock College (DIII) 104-76 in a game that you didn’t even know happened until right now. MORE: Early season surprises | CBB betting lines While the result is meaningless, we should point out that UMass-Lowell’s Dontavius Smith shattered a backboard, which is far from meaningless. Smith didn’t even get two points for his effort, which stinks since he is avergaing just 3.7 points per game....

The hosts’ control of the match was threatened early on Sunday as their tail-end collapse saw them post 367 all out under pressure from Jason Holder (5-56), but the Windies’ failure to capitalise with the bat proved costly. A dismal showing left the visiting side dismissed for 127, with Umesh taking 10-wicket haul in the match as India were set just 72 to win. And there was time remaining in the evening session for Prithvi Shaw (33) and Lokesh Rahul (33) to seal victory....

And, it appears, the umpires are very thorough in checking for said substances. Case in point: This video of Mets ace Jacob deGrom unbuckling his belt ahead of the Braves doubleheader — you know, on the off chance he might be hiding something … illegal.

If anyone is to be credited–or blamed–for this off-kilter idea, it is Miuccia Prada. Last year the Italian designer dropped her trademark minimalism for the so-called “beauty of ugliness” in both her Prada line-the collection most coveted by the international glamorati these days-and in Miu Miu, her younger, more moderately priced label. Several weeks ago, when Prada appeared on CNN’s “Style” program in one of her own designs–a navy blue “techno-stretch” polyester blouse with a contrasting azure blue collar–she looked not like the most widely copied designer today but like a fast-food counter girl, circa 1976....

The difference is that Apple and Google’s model processes potential contact matches on individual phones, whereas the centralised system the UK started with processed matches on a remote server. The new system makes it far more difficult for potential hackers to deanonymise sensitive personal data. The BBC reported that the old system was particularly bad at measuring distance between users via Bluetooth, with a test in the Isle of Wight only registering 4% of nearby iPhones compared to 75% of Android phones....

The clip shows the parked tanks on a downtown street that has been turned into an open-air military museum, with passersby next to them, some of them taking photos. One version of the video had been viewed more than 1.3 million times as of Saturday. “In February, Russians were planning a parade in downtown Kyiv,” the Ukrainian Armed Forces tweeted next to a version of the video. They said that more than six months into the war, “the shameful display of rusty Russian metal is a reminder to all dictators how their plans may be ruined by a free and courageous nation....

Politico reported that President Joe Biden’s administration will announce this week a new weapons package for Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s forces. Included in the package will reportedly be an unknown amount of Strykers—a type of military vehicle that can be fitted with machine guns or grenade launchers—and Ground-Launched Small Diameter Bombs, also known as GLSDB. While the idea of the U.S. sending Strykers to Ukraine has previously received some media attention, Hodges wrote on Twitter Wednesday about the potential impact the GLSDB could have on the war....

After winning the Championship, the MMA community showed support to Ronda, as one of their own having made it in the different industry of professional wrestling.
