Aaron Rodgers will need to get his team to “relax” again. In a similar Week 2 situation in Lambeau Field last season following a blowout road defeat to the Saints, the Packers routed the visiting Lions, 35-17. Will the Bears pull off another big upset with Justin Fields? Or will the Packers continue to dominate their archrivals? Here’s everything to know about betting on Bears vs. Packers in Week 2, including updated odds, trends and our prediction for “Sunday Night Football....

Pep Guardiola’s Man City adventure into the Champions League got off to the perfect start as they destroyed Gladbach 4-0 on Matchday 1, before their defensive frailties were exposed in a 3-3 draw at Celtic and 4-0 destruction of their own at the hands of Barcelona. A famous victory over the Catalans in the return ultimately proved enough as they closed out the group stage with two more stalemates....

Though people will claim that Ajax got lucky and that Barcelona had zilch to play for, this is actually not true, because anyone who had watched the first half will tell you that Ajax dominated Barcelona for long periods and fully deserved to be ahead. Barcelona’s approach to the game also refutes any claim that they were not taking this seriously, the Catalan side also committed 17 fouls and picked up 2 yellows – hardly casual....

This Death Stranding poster was shared by Hideo Kojima himself, and it features the game’s protagonist, Sam Porter Bridges, standing in front of a Distribution Center with an impressive array of gear sprawled before him.

For a game that some players describe as a “walking simulator,” jokingly or otherwise, it may be surprising to see just how many guns are featured in the game....

For example, although some children may have several characteristic features of BWS, other children may only demonstrate one or two of the hallmark traits. Approximately 1 in every 10,500 to 13,700 newborns around the world in diagnosed with Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome. But this may undercut the true prevalence of BWS, since people who have minor cases of the condition may never be diagnosed....

The purpose of the memo is to seek the detention of Edward Vallejo, who was among 11 suspected Oath Keepers indicted last Thursday on charges of seditious conspiracy for the events on January 6.

Uber Facts Uber is not a taxi service. Drivers cannot pick up riders off the street. Instead, Uber is a car-for-hire service that relies on smartphone technology to dispatch drivers and manage fees.

Finally, visualize the book you’d write about everything you’d learned. “As far as jobs go,” says writer Amy Sohn, laughing, “it was one of the best ones I’ve ever had.” Er, one of the best? A journalist who’s written extensively on sex and relationships–most notably for the weekly newspaper New York Press and New York magazine–Sohn was chosen to author the recently published “Sex and the City: Kiss and Tell” (Melcher Media, 160 pages, $40), a fanatical look at the phenomenal HBO show....

Diana Winston, the author of “Wide Awake: A Buddhist Guide for Teens,” has been teaching Buddhism to youth for more than a decade, and she says she’s seen it change from a fringe practice to something normal and accepted, especially on the coasts....
