The U.K. warship’s entry into the South China Sea is just the latest amplification of tension between the Chinese military and British allies including the United States and Australia. And the move has reinvigorated debate about China’s claim to the nearly 1.3 million-square-mile area as part of its sovereign territory—something Beijing says it has rights to as part of the Law of the Sea Convention. Last week, China criticized NBC’s Olympics coverage for showing an “incomplete map” of its territories by not including Taiwan or the South China Sea as being under its ownership....

Federal agencies, including the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), operated in Afghanistan and worked with civilians there. The scrubbed websites had articles and photos including Afghans that could be used by the Taliban or the group’s supporters to identify them. The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) said agencies that worked in Afghanistan started clearing webpages on Friday. “Given the security situation in Afghanistan, and out of an abundance of caution for the safety of our staff, partners, and beneficiaries, we are reviewing USAID public websites and social media to archive content that could pose a risk to certain individuals and groups,” USAID told AP....

However, manager Nuno decided that his side would not settle for a loss. They wanted more from the game and started the second half better than the home team. Although Spurs did create some chances through Son Heung-min and Harry Winks, the visitors surprised everyone when they finally managed to score the equaliser in the 72nd minute. Pochettino’s side suddenly looked lost and disorientated as they had no idea how to respond to the goal that they had just conceded....

There was just one problem, as fellow Twitterite Tim Dewey pointed out: the supposed lynchpin of Hogan’s theory, the account that first tweeted the word ‘Qanon’ over a year before the first documented “Q drop,” was a bot designed to generate random, entirely fictional titles for the long-running PS2 game series Simple 2000. The bot in question, @simplebot2000, used to tweet out a fake game name at 20 minutes past the hour, every hour, always in the same style (“Vol....

Designed by Eric Chahi, the mind behind 1991’s critically acclaimed Another World, From Dust is a very unique take on the God game genre in that interaction with the locals doesn’t occur directly - but rather indirectly. In traditional God game fashion, players have a limited set of abilities, but in From Dust those abilities are used to manipulate sand, water, lava, and vegetation. By being able to manipulate these elements, you are able to completely alter the landscape of the islands the tribes inhabit - making them into lush green hills with rivers running through them or alternatively rocky barren landscapes unfit for mankind....
