The build took three years from concept to reality and was finished last July. It takes the core Japanese aesthetic principles of Kanso (simplicity), Seijaku (tranquility), Shibui (subtle textures), Shizen (natural forms), and Yugen (intrigue) and puts them to practice, essentially finding zen in the art of computer building. Without a doubt, Paiyan has created a build for the AMD Ryzen that is a celebration of form alongside function....

The Gulf states and Israel in particular provide an opportunity for the U.S. to participate in a global economy that will be more centered on the Middle East than it was before the coronavirus. This future must be a cornerstone of U.S. policy. COVID has threatened the mature economies of the U.S. and Europe, accelerated China’s inevitable rise and given opportunity to the region’s often more agile and adaptable countries....

The Iranian regime has promised to retaliate against the U.S. for the assassination of Soleimani, who was killed by a U.S. drone strike in Baghdad last week. His death represents a major escalation in the simmering U.S.-Iranian conflict, and has prompted fears that a direct military confrontation could soon erupt.

But while most Americans are relegating coronavirus to the back burner, the Biden administration is not, refusing to bring back the “normalcy” the country was promised during the campaign. Though President Biden’s controversial vaccine mandate was recently struck down in court by a federal judge after over half the Attorneys General in the United States challenged it in court, the Biden administration is planning on defying the court and enforcing the President’s executive order compelling businesses with at least 100 employees get their staff vaccinated by early January 2022....

After speaking about his team’s performance in the contest and saying he was frustrated by the poor pitch at BMO Field, Herrera said what really irritated him about the experience was the police officials making things worse instead of better. The manager alleged members of the Toronto Police Service hit goalkeeper Agustin Marchesin, center back Bruno Valdez and the team’s fitness coach Giber Becerra. “We have to take advantage on a much better field, we’ve got to play a lot better....

So as I watched Mir kamikaze into the Pacific, I hoped that our two countries had finally put years of antagonism behind them. Yeah, right. Faster than you could say Yuri Andropov, the U.S. and Russia are already starting a new Cold War over a few spies. We caught Russia stealing secrets from our side, so we kicked a bunch of their “diplomats” out of our country. They retaliated by kicking a bunch of our “emissaries” out of Moscow....

The 17-year-old had just fallen off the beam at the U.S. Classic last month, ending any serious chance she had at making a run at Simone Biles in the Olympic champion’s return to competition after a two-year break.

That relationship should continue to improve on its already amiable nature, too, as the new Prime discount appears to be a permanent new addition to the subscription-based service and not just a limited time offer to spark interest from gamers after the holiday rush. The timing couldn’t be better for video game fans, either, as there is already a long list of most anticipated games in 2016 that will likely continue to expand as more announcements are made in the coming months....
