Bloomberg reported Wednesday that Tencent will operate the Valorant league in China, perhaps launching it as early as this summer.
Valorant hasn’t been available to amateur gamers is China, but Dot Esports reported in December that its sale had been approved by the country’s video game regulatory body.
With the NHL All-Star break and their bye week behind them, the Boston Bruins return to the ice for a Saturday contest against the Washington Capitals.
Boston is a league-best 39-7-5 (83 points) this season despite going just 1-2-1 in its final four games before the break, concluding a five-game road trip with a 5-2 win in Toronto on Feb. 1. The team’s win total is the highest in NHL history through the first 51 games of the season.
“You can tell the energy here (Thursday). The break was good for everybody,” Bruins coach Jim Montgomery said following the team’s first practice of the unofficial second half of the season. “Looking at what’s ahead, we know it’s going to get harder here in the regular season and then, obviously, in the playoffs it gets even harder and we’re getting ready for that.”
The Bruins will play just three of their remaining nine February games on home ice, hitting the road for Dallas and Nashville following Saturday’s game.
The upcoming road-heavy stretch made Boston’s extended break that much more important.
“I think the greatest purpose is to kind of take some time mentally to reflect on the first half of the season and prepare for the next half and the battles that we’re going to be facing going forward,” Bruins defenseman Brandon Carlo said. “I think we recognized that each team’s giving us their best effort. That’s exactly what we want because that’s only going to prepare us further for our mission down the road.”
Before breaking for All-Star festivities, the Bruins expected forward Jake DeBrusk to be fully healthy and return from his hand and lower-body injuries.
DeBrusk was not at Thursday’s practice after dealing with travel issues home from Edmonton, but results from recent tests indicated that he would likely not be healthy enough to play until at least next week. Jakub Lauko was recalled from Providence of the American Hockey League on Thursday.
Washington was off one day more than Boston, last playing in a 4-3 overtime win Jan. 31 at Columbus.
The Capitals have won two of their last three games, in overtime and a shootout, but have won just four of their last 10 overall. They are being thrust right into a back-to-back, with a Super Bowl Sunday matinee against the San Jose Sharks at home.
“It’s a good challenge especially coming out of the break,” Capitals coach Peter Laviolette said. “We’re going to have to play well going into a building where they’ve had an incredible amount of success this year, so our game is going to have to be on point.”
Washington is still dealing with its own lingering injuries as forward Tom Wilson (upper-body) has remained out since Jan. 24 and Nic Dowd (lower-body) since Jan. 16. Wilson is day-to-day after skating on his own before and after Thursday’s practice.
Laviolette shook up the lines as a result, moving Nicolas Aube-Kubel up to the first line.
Following the back-to-back, the Caps will host the Carolina Hurricanes (Tuesday) and Florida Panthers (Thursday) before facing the Hurricanes Feb. 18 in the NHL Stadium Series in North Carolina State’s Carter-Finley Stadium at Raleigh, N.C.
The newly-expanded PUBG Mobile Pro League (PMPL) will commence later this month in Southeast Asia to kick off the 2023 pro-tier PUBG Mobile Esports schedule, it was announced Friday.
After the Southeast Asia division, the PMPL will turn to the Americas with the North American division competing in March and April and the Brazil and Latin America subregions playing from March to May. The Middle East & Africa Championship is slated for March and April and the Arabian subdivision is May to June.
Dates were not yet announced for the European Championship, which encompasses Europe and Turkey.
Then come the two global PUBG Mobile competitions. The PUBG Mobile World Invitational (PMWI) will be contested in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia in July. The tournament will invite the top two teams from Southeast Asia and one apiece from South Asia, Middle East & Africa, Europe and the Americas.
The 48-team PUBG Mobile Global Championship (PMGC) will begin with the “PMGC League” from November to December and proceed to the grand finals stage later in December.
The esport’s organizers also promised format changes to these two global events, though details were not yet released.
“Following an excellent start to 2023 with the conclusion of the 2022 PMGC, we’re pleased to share the full schedule of our amazing line-up of pro-tier competitions for this year,” PUBG Mobile global esports director James Yang said in a statement. “… our competitive ecosystem has never been stronger and we can’t wait to see the reaction from our fans.”

Celebrity and wellness icon Robin Amelia Arzón is used to carving a space of influence with all her different activities. The ultramarathon runner, author and fitness trainer are known for the milestones she achieves and motivates others to achieve. Now, the Peloton VP and fitness instructor is ready to enter Web3 with a new community. The influencer, with an enormous fan base, is looking to engage with her community via blockchain.
According to a report in Forbes, wellness icon Robin Arzón is gearing up to launch a community called Swagger Society using blockchain, the technology behind Web3. In an interview with the outlet, she said that she wanted to set up “the first lifestyle membership club in Web3.”
Author of bestsellers such as Shut Up and Run and Strong Mama, Robin who started her career as a corporate lawyer, shifted industries and rose to prominence as the VP of fitness programming and head instructor at Peloton.
The icon also told the outlet that her husband, who is investor Drew Butler, had entered Web3 a while ago and was helping her navigate Swagger Society. She mentioned that this was the first time that the couple had found an intersection between both their successful careers.
She elaborated her plans to Forbes and said that the “central piece” of Swagger Society was its “lifestyle piece.” She said that holders of NFT in the Web3 community she created would be able to unlock membership privileges. The society would include a leaderboard, events, rewards and other activities on the blockchain.
She also spoke of her aim to make it inclusive especially for women who have not really made as much a mark on Web3 as men, to date. She also mentioned that that she bristled at the thought of boxes and lived for the moments when she could take a hammer and smash the box after she grew bigger than the box that made other people comfortable.
Robin Arazón is not only a pioneer in the Web3 space with her community called Swagger Society but also remains an ultra-marathoner who runs with her dreams. She told Forbes, “My dreams wake me up before an alarm clock every morning, and if that resonates with you, you’re welcome to come with me.”

Christina Applegate says following her multiple sclerosis diagnosis, she is contemplating doing voiceover work. While filming the Netflix Dead to Me Series, Christina Applegate said “I was a wreck every day, but most of that wreck would take place in my trailer by myself,” she told Los Angeles Times reporter Lisa Rosen. “But there were times I’d break down on set and be like, ‘I can’t, we have to take a break, I need a half-hour,’ and everyone was so loving that it was OK.”
In order to continue to earn money as a working actor with multiple sclerosis, Christina Applegate told the Los Angeles Times that she is thinking about switching from acting to voiceover work full-time. Applegate broke the news about her MS diagnosis in August 2021. We did not see the actress in public until her Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony in November 2022. It was a huge hardship for Applegate to film the final season of her Netflix comedy series “Dead to Me” with MS, and she has no immediate plans to continue the series or perform in acting roles on screen at this time.
Right now, Applegate stated, “I couldn’t picture getting up at 5 in the morning and working 12 to 14 hours on a set.” At this time, I don’t have this in me at this moment.”
According to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), MS is a neurological condition that can have a range of symptoms but usually impairs vision, speech, and mobility. It can also result in cognitive problems, such as challenges with concentration, memory, and attention.
“I was a wreck every day, but most of that wreck would take place in my trailer by myself,” Applegate recalled for Los Angeles Times reporter Lisa Rosen. “But there were times I’d break down on set and be like, ‘I can’t, we have to take a break, I need a half-hour,’ and everyone was so loving that it was OK.”
Applegate might play Kelly Bundy again in the 1990s sitcom “Married with Children.” If the series by the works at Sony Pictures Television. gets picked up. Ed O’Neill, Katey Sagal, and David Faustino, members of her fictionalized family, would also provide the voices for The Bundy family cartoon version.

The prospect of rescuing more people in Turkey and Syria trapped under the rubble of the 7.8 magnitude earthquake is dwindling, but on Friday – four days after the quake hit – several survivors were pulled from the ruins in Hatay province in Turkey’s south, including a 10-day-old boy and his mother.
Officials say the death toll from the powerful earthquake that struck the border region between Turkey and Syria on Monday is now more than 21,000, making it the world’s deadliest seismic event since a 2011 earthquake and tsunami that killed nearly 20,000 people in Japan.
Rescue crews have been hampered in efforts to find survivors due to a lack of equipment.
A six-truck United Nations aid convoy could not reach Syria until Thursday through the Bab al-Hawa crossing, the only crossing the U.N. is authorized to use, to move humanitarian supplies from Turkey into areas outside of Syrian government control in the country’s north. The road leading to the crossing on the Turkish side was damaged in the quake and had just reopened.
Hundreds of thousands of people across the region have been left homeless in below-freezing temperatures.
In Syria, President Bashar al-Assad and his wife visited quake victims at a hospital in Aleppo, Syria’s second city that has already suffered extensive damage from years of bombardment during the country’s civil war. It is Assad’s first visit to quake-devastated areas of his country.
Assad appeared on television chairing emergency meetings on the quake but has neither addressed the country nor held a press conference about the disaster.
Turkey’s disaster management agency said Thursday that about 110,000 personnel are involved in rescue efforts and 5,500 vehicles, such as tractors, cranes, bulldozers, and excavators, have been shipped to assist the country, reeling from the earthquake.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan visited the area near the quake’s epicenter close to the city of Gaziantep and the Turkey-Syria border.
He faced the mounting frustration of survivors looking for their loved ones or for aid from the government by acknowledging problems with the emergency response to Monday’s quake.
“It is not possible to be prepared for such a disaster,” Erdogan said. “We will not leave any of our citizens uncared for.” He pointed to the winter weather and how the earthquake had destroyed the runway at Hatay’s airport as things that disrupted the response.
In Hatay, Erdal Kahilogullari, whose wife and two children were under the rubble of a collapsed building, shared his frustration with VOA’s Turkish Service. More than 3,300 people died in Hatay province.
“OK, everyone is a human being. But aren’t 80 provinces enough? How can 80 provinces not help 10 provinces? Being 10 hours late is OK, but being late for two days to help? We don’t even have water,” he said, referring to the provinces of Turkey.
Rescuers were still finding people alive but were unable to reach them without the needed equipment and expertise, even as they could hear cries for help.
“I hear voices saying, ‘Daddy, save me,’” Kahilogullari said. “How could I not struggle here? I am desperate. I cannot do anything. I’m just waiting here. Walk there, come back here.”
Search sites also have been the scene of some celebrations as people are found alive and taken away for medical care. But uncovering the rubble has also meant frequent increases in the number of casualties.
Erdogan declared seven days of national mourning and a three-month state of emergency in the 10 provinces directly affected by the quake.
Search teams and emergency aid from throughout the world poured into Turkey and Syria as rescue workers dug through the rubble in a desperate search for survivors. Some voices that had been crying out for help fell silent.
“We could hear their voices, they were calling for help,” said Ali Silo, whose two relatives could not be saved in the Turkish town of Nurdagi.
More than 8,000 people have been pulled from the debris in Turkey, Vice President Fuat Oktay said, and about 380,000 have taken refuge in government shelters or hotels. They huddled in shopping malls, stadiums, mosques and community centers, while others spent the night outside wrapped in blankets gathering around fires.
The earthquake struck a region enveloped on both sides of the border by more than a decade of civil war in Syria. On the Syrian side, the swath affected is divided between government-held territory and the country’s last opposition-held enclave, which is surrounded by Russian-backed government forces. Turkey, meanwhile, is home to millions of refugees from the conflict.
‘A crisis on top of a crisis’
The U.N. resident coordinator for Syria said Wednesday that 10.9 million people have been affected across the country by the earthquake. Before the quake, there were already 15.3 million in need of humanitarian assistance in the country, due to more than a decade of civil war.
“So, it’s a crisis on top of a crisis,” El-Mostafa Benlamlih told reporters at the U.N. in New York during a video briefing from Damascus.
He said in Aleppo alone, a third of homes are estimated to have been damaged or destroyed, displacing around 100,000 people.
Humanitarians are coping with a shortage of fuel for their operations, as well as freezing temperatures and damaged roads and infrastructure.
The World Food Program has prepositioned food stocks in the area, which Benlamlih said are enough to feed 100,000 people for one week. The World Health Organization has two planes with medical supplies coming from its hub in Dubai to Damascus. More supplies, however, are urgently needed.
The WFP appealed Wednesday for $46 million to provide food assistance to half a million people in Turkey and Syria for the next three to four months.
Additionally, the main road the U.N. uses to get aid from Gaziantep in Turkey to the transshipment point into northwest Syria was damaged in the quake and closed.
“So, we couldn’t send any relief items; we were looking for alternative routes,” Muhannad Hadi, U.N. regional humanitarian coordinator for Syria, told reporters from Amman, Jordan. He said they had word Wednesday that the road is opening, and they could start delivering some supplies as early as Thursday.

Celebrity actress Mischa Barton’s interview from 2005 further emphasizes the recent backlash against celebrity actor and producer Leonardo DiCaprio’s dating practices. DiCaprio was criticized for being seen out with the 19-year-old this month. The 48-year-old DiCaprio being linked to celebrity model Eden Polani highlights the actor’s propensity for dating younger women. The actor has come under fire from many people for dating women who are much younger than him while highlighting the alleged fact that he has never dated anyone older than 25.
Instagram mischabarton
In the historic interview, the ‘Notting Hill’ claimed that she was told to sleep with him when she was 19 and he was 30. In an old Barton interview from The O.C. that recently turned up online, Mischa talks about a meeting with a publicist during which she claims she was instructed to “go and sleep” with the Titanic actor.
The now-37-year-old OC actress recalled an incident in which she and her then-publicist Craig Schneider saw DiCaprio at a photo shoot in Malibu when she was known for her role in the teen drama. Oscar-winning actor DiCaprio had just ended a six-year on-and-off relationship with Gisele Bundchen at the time. Mischa claimed in the 2005 interview that Craig advised her to sleep with the celebrity for the benefit of her career. Mischa claimed that she had no interest in older men.
Since 2005, DiCaprio, who was already an A-List star, has seen his career progress steadily. Since then, the actor has appeared in numerous movies, including The Wolf of Wall Street and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, and has won an Oscar. The actor and film producer has dated several famous people but has never wed. As the actor approaches his 50th birthday, his decision to date women in an age range that is static has drawn criticism, accusations, and scrutiny from a few media outlets.
After the celebrity actor and celebrity model were spotted next to each other at a party, sources close to Leo denied rumors that the two were dating, but they would not say whether there had ever been a romantic relationship between them.

President Joe Biden issued an order to shoot down an object that was flying across Alaskan territory on Friday, according to National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby. He said that the item was flying at 40,000 feet and presented a plausible threat to the security of commercial aircraft.
Kirby said that the military successfully downed the object over the currently frozen territorial seas of the United States.
‘So, I can confirm that the Department of Defense was tracking a high-altitude object over Alaska airspace in the last 24 hours,’ he said at Friday’s briefing. ‘The object was flying at 40,000 feet and posed a reasonable threat to the safety of civilian flight.’
NSC Strategic Communications Coordinator John Kirby on object shot down today: “We’re calling this an object because that’s the best description we have right now…We do not know who owns it…It was much much smaller than the spy balloon that we took down last Saturday.” pic.twitter.com/d94UlFmH9n

Australian porn star Angela White was unintentionally left in the hospital after a scene was filmed, according to adult film performer Keiran Lee.
Lee, who has appeared in about 7,000 pornographic movies, revealed his shock at how things turned out when his on-set performance with White caused her to become ill.
Lee claims that he recognized something was off after the two had been filming a scene together for more than an hour.
He was frank when he said, “We were shooting content and we were going active, we were going at it for like almost an hour.” “After that, I said, “See you dear, great day,” went home, and discovered two days later that she had returned to Australia.

“She said her stomach ‘s hurting and had to go see a doctor — apparently her appendix burst in the scene, which could have killed her.”
White had left her Australian home after reporting experiencing stomach pain. White learned that her appendix had ruptured during the incident, potentially fatal.

The San Jose Earthquakes agreed to terms to acquire defender Jonathan Mensah from the Columbus Crew, MLSSoccer.com reported Friday.
Per the report, the Earthquakes will send $200,000 in general allocation money to Columbus, but up to $300,000 could be added if incentives are met.
Mensah is in the final season of his contract and will earn $1 million, per the MLS Players Association salary data released last fall. The Earthquakes will cover the entire salary, according to the MLSSoccer.com report.
Mensah, 32, recorded two goals and an assist while starting all 30 games in which he appeared last season.
