This geographic discovery game takes inspiration from GeoGuessr. Franklin Clinton will take selfies of himself at random locations. Using these pictures, players must correctly deduce his current whereabouts. Of course, this game requires knowledge about the GTA 5 map. GtaGuessr was created by developers Nedi and Bladedge, who are avid GTA 5 players. In order to keep the game running, they mainly rely on Patreon donations. Big names like DarkViperAU have already supported their cause....

However, one of the biggest additions brought to Animal Crossing in New Horizons was post-launch updates that allowed Nintendo to keep adding to the game and developing it. While many fans think that Nintendo has not done enough with Animal Crossing: New Horizons, the developers have released numerous updates for the game. The updates brought a wide variety of additions, from entirely new features to returning characters and themed items....

After all, Pota knows novels about novelists are “passe”–like novels about unhappy marriages, dysfunctional families and war. He knows too much. (Anyway, he’s done his war novel.) One idea needs “flashy plotting” that he “did not wish to think himself capable of executing.” Another would take tedious character development, and younger writers “are better at it now and have the gusto and the time.” Why does Pota, with money from his old best sellers, still bother?...

Pan Am 103 blew up in the sky over Lockerbie, Scotland, on Dec. 21, 1988, killing all 259 people aboard and 11 on the ground. After combing hundreds of square miles of Scottish countryside and following the evidence across Europe, investigators identified two Libyan suspects, Abdel Basset Ali Mohamed al-Megrahi and Lamen Khalifa Fhima, who worked for the Libyan airline–and reportedly for Libyan intelligence. The country’s strongman, Muammar Kaddafi, was persuaded to hand them over for trial after receiving assurances that his government’s alleged support for the bombing operation would not be mentioned in court....

Children with severe cerebral palsy have been successfully testing the keyboard system. That neurological condition often causes involuntary spasms, making it especially challenging to get the software and camera tracker to work. But the children have been able to use the keyboard successfully and have found it therapeutic, Van Dusen says. “Many of the children were more focused on their movements because they were motivated by the sounds they were creating,” he says....

It was the house that roared, a modest project (the renovation cost about $40,000) that brought Gehry instant notoriety. His neighbors went bananas, but critics loved the place for its raucous forms and the everydayness of materials like chain link and plywood, The house had a crazy, in-your-face toughness and the buoyant originality of a great work of art. But Gehry was still considered a regionalist, which was a polite but snotty way of saying that nobody thought his work would travel....

She pulls out a family photo album filled with faded snapshots of the handsome young man. In one image, he is with his high-school sweetheart; in another, he strums a guitar. A photograph from July 1970, taken just before the 18-year-old Dung headed south to the front along the Ho Chi Minh trail, shows him dressed in his North Vietnamese uniform, smiling and confident. Finally his mother unfolds a worn letter, dated March 1972....

This day 3,000 people turn out, most of them white, well-educated and suburban. A giant video screen displays the words our father. Summers had prayed it wouldn’t come to this, but she supports the war even so. “Bush and Powell and all those guys are Christian,” she says. “I do believe that God has blessed this country.” When it comes to matters of might and right, Americans look to the heavens in a way that bewilders much of the rest of the world–especially Europe....

Even if U.S. soldiers don’t have to fight a ground war, Americans aren’t likely to forget Germany’s role in arming Saddam Hussein. Last week the news magazine Der Spiegel published its latest bombshell: one firm allegedly violated the U.N. embargo against Iraq some 70 times. Among other recent charges: that German firms supplied Baghdad with sarin, a deadly nerve agent; that they trained Iraqi troops in the use of biological weapons; that they helped upgrade Scud missiles to enable them to hit targets in Israel and Riyadh, and that they built many of the bunkers used by Saddam and his troops....

There’s more here than meets the eye. The detentions coincide with private talks between Beijing and the Vatican. The two sides broke ties in 1951, when mainland Catholics were pressured to renounce the pope and join the state-sanctioned “patriotic” church. The Holy See still has an embassy in Taipei, but last year a Vatican official said the church was ready to recognize Beijing “if Chinese authorities permit.” This month he confirmed “a new mechanism for exchanging information....

NEWSWEEK: Does having the show’s best-looking partner help get a higher score? Oh, you think so? I don’t really look at him like that. How do you look at him? I’m used to him shouting at me and me shouting back at him. It’s like a brotherly-sisterly thing. He likes to take his top off a lot, so that probably helps with the vote. He does it nearly every dance class we have, which is nearly every day....

Stanley Kubrick’s A Clockwork Orange has a unique soundtrack that is classically composed and still holds up exceptionally well today. The juxtaposition of the beautiful classical music to the extreme brutality on screen still gives audiences that same disgusted yet mesmerized feeling that it did 50 years ago. RELATED: Stanley Kubrick Screened This Cult Horror Classic For The Shining Cast & Crew Classical music plays a vital role in A Clockwork Orange, an adaptation of Anthony Burgess’ 1962 novel....

European negotiators had . already got the message: the European Community offered to reduce farm income supports by only 16 percent over the next 10 years. The United States, Australia and other nations proposed cutting supports by 75 percent over the same period, slashing export subsidies by 90 percent. Insulted by the paltry European offer, U.S. representatives openly considered walking out–imperiling $1.5 trillion in commerce within all 15 of the GATT’s trade areas....

The female condom, to be marketed in Switzerland this month and later in England and France, could find its way into American bedrooms sometime this year. Called Femidom in Europe and Reality in the United States, the $2.25 device is the first of a whole wave of intriguing new gynecological products currently navigating the maze of FDA regulations (box). The female condom is described more accurately as an intravaginal pouch by its American manufacturer Wisconsin Pharmacal....

A Couple of Cuckoos has been churning out one good episode after the other for the past couple of weeks. The drama captured your attention while the comedy made you smile from ear to ear. This is genuinely the best run for this series thus far. That being said, while it means people will be excited to watch the new episode, it also means the disappointment will be that much higher when the new one turns out to be bad....

The mayor’s office won’t say exactly how Giuliani privately reacted when he was handed the magazine and saw that the face on the cover was not his own but that of a rival he had appointed: Police Commissioner William Bratton. But it wasn’t long before the nasty leaks began. New Yorkers learned about Bratton’s freebie trips to the Caribbean and his $350,000 book advance. The outcome was inevitable to anyone who had ever read a Greek tragedy or a New York tabloid....

Investor confidence soars again after the election of the PRI’s Ernesto Zedillo as president; he is seen as a competent economic leader. PRI deputy leader Jose Francisco Ruiz Massieu is killed; five months later, Raul Salinas, brother of the former president, is arrested on charges of ordering the murder.

Zero grams of fat! Never mind that an Oreo has a skimpy 2.3 grams of fat per cookie and approximately the same number of calories as a Devil’s Food. Zero means none, and that means a lot. America is in the grip of a fat fanaticism, obsessed with the furtive grams of fat that lurk in our food plotting hostile takeovers of our health and our waistlines. Fat is the leading nutritional preoccupation of grocery shoppers-60 percent of them, according to the Food Marketing Institute, a trade association; cholesterol worries only 21 percent and calories a measly 7 percent....
