M.I.A. Launches GoFundMe Page to Aid Saint Vincent and the Grenadines
M.I.A. has set up a GoFundMe page to raise money to aid those affected by the recent volcanic eruption of La Soufrière in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines. “I’ve never set up a crowdfunding page before, but as you may know Saint Vincent and the Grenadines has been very close to my heart,” she wrote on her Instagram. “I wrote my first song there. Since going to Sri Lanka is out of the question for political reasons, it’s been my island away from my island for the last 20 years.” “La Soufrière has caused massive devastation on a scale that has not been witnessed by the residents in the last 40 years,” she continued. “The situation today is that there’s been power cuts and water scarcity. Everything is covered by ash. The volcano is still erupting and there could be further ongoing damage.” The musician wrote that short-term supplies are needed — from blankets to hygiene kits — and that the cost of living is extremely high due to tourists. “It is also very hard for local people … [Read more...] about M.I.A.

Van der Dussen, Fakhar likely to return in third T20I
PREVIEW - SA V PAK, 3RD T20I by Telford Vice • Last updated on Share Tweet Fakhar Zaman was ruled out of the second T20I due to a "minor allergy on his left leg" © AFP Mohammad Rizwan doesn't suffer first-ball foolery often. It's befallen him only four times in his 77 innings for Pakistan across the formats, and just once when he has been entrusted with opening the innings. That happened in the second T20I at the Wanderers on Monday, when George Linde induced a stroke that saw the ball follow the curve of an upturned pudding bowl as it blooped to mid-off. So ended a streak of 10 innings in the format - half of them for the Multan Sultans in the PSL - in which Rizwan had passed 40. He scored a century and six half-centuries, four of them higher than 70, in those trips to the crease. The South Africans would have needed no reminding of his T20I prowess: he has made his hundred - a 64-ball undefeated 104 in Lahore in February … [Read more...] about Van der Dussen, Fakhar likely to return in third T20I
Van Gisbergen off painkillers since Sandown
The Kiwi has been nursing the injuries since a mountain bike crash last month, with an aggressive recovery process centred around hyperbaric treatment limiting the affect its had on his packed racing schedule. Remarkably he has only missed one event since the crash, the GT World Challenge Australia round at Phillip Island. Two weeks after undergoing surgery he took three wins from three Supercars races at Sandown, before heading to Mount Panorama another fortnight later to win a GT race and claim the Bathurst Triple Crown with a win in the six-hour production car race on the same weekend. Giving an update ahead of this weekend's third Supercars round of the season at Symmons Plains, van Gisbergen explained his collarbone is largely pain free. However the same can't be said of the broken ribs, only found after his three wins at Sandown , which continue to give him grief. Despite the pain he's resisting painkillers, to help chart his recovery without the … [Read more...] about Van Gisbergen off painkillers since Sandown
Dell’s redesigned Inspiron laptops get a fresh coat of paint, Ryzen 5000 chips
Dell has announced a new line of Inspiron laptops that simplify the branding and design of these more affordable laptops . Dell’s flagship laptops, the XPS line, often enjoy all the latest design innovations. That’s unlikely to change anytime soon, but these new Inspiron laptops are finally starting to catch up to some of the best laptops you can buy . The new lineup includes the Inspiron 13, Inspiron 14, Inspiron 14 2-in-1, Inspiron 15, and Inspiron 16 Plus. That might sound like a lot, but it’s actually a simplification of the line, which currently includes 3000, 5000, and 7000 versions. Across all these new laptops, there are some shared design elements regardless of the size. First of all, they all now feature narrow bezels, which is a trend started by the XPS laptops. The previous Inspiron 5000 and 7000 laptops already included these thin bezels, but now all the new options you can buy have narrow bezels. All the new Inspiron laptops also feature 1.3mm of key travel, a … [Read more...] about Dell’s redesigned Inspiron laptops get a fresh coat of paint, Ryzen 5000 chips
