France became the third country in Europe to reach the grim milestone of 100,000 COVID-19-related deaths, as new infections and deaths surge due to virus variants. The announcement comes as France added 300 new deaths Thursday to the previous total of 99,777. However, experts said the 100,000 mark is an understatement by thousands, accordion to the Associated Press. Lionel Petitpas is the president of the group Victimes Du COVID-19 , a Facebook page that allows family members to share memories of their loved ones lost to the virus. Petitpas himself lost his wife Joelle to COVID-19 in March last year and told the AP that families of victims "want the government to make a collective gesture to recognize our collective loss."

It didn't look like it would be a promising start as Dom admitted before walking out to the Dragons: "I wasn't planning on starting a business and I still don't really know what I am doing but it is going from strength to strength and a bit crazy." She wanted to get her nutritional pet treats to a wider market but continually admitted to the investors that she was "not a businesswoman" and that she needed a "mentor" to point … [Read more...] about Dragons’ Den viewers gobsmacked by investment after ‘dog’s dinner of a pitch’

Recently, we managed to get our hands on an Asus ROG Zephyrus G15 laptop. We had to do it just like anybody else does, by finding one and buying it retail. That's notable because this laptop combines AMD's Ryzen 9 5900HS processor with an Nvidia RTX 3070 Mobile GPU, a combination that means this device sells out extremely quickly. Further Reading Asus ROG Zephyrus G14—Ryzen 7nm mobile is here, and it’s awesome Make no mistake, the RTX 3070 in this year's AMD-powered Zephyrus is a distinct step up.
