That’s no surprise when you consider that the Hoover company basically invented the upright vacuum cleaner – founder William Hoover bought the patent in 1908 from his wife’s cousin, James Spangler, who stayed with the company to continue refining his designs. With all that history it’s hardly a surprise that the brand is inseparably tied to vacuums and floorcare, but what you might not realise is that the company has continued innovating over the century since – and not just on hoovers....

A survey carried out by Morning Consult and published Wednesday shows that 45 percent of voters said that Trump and Republicans in Congress are to blame for the absence of a stimulus deal to address the economic fallout of the COVID-19 pandemic. Meanwhile, 40 percent blamed Democrats in Congress, and an additional 15 percent had no opinion or said they didn’t know. But it appears that less voters blame Trump specifically for the hang-up than believe Democrats in Congress are at fault....

Mbappe, 18, is widely expected to make a record-breaking move during the summer transfer window, with Madrid among those being linked with the forward. Ramos: Mbappe potential enormous Morientes, who won two La Liga titles and three Champions League crowns with Madrid, says the talented teenager will end up elsewhere if his former club are unable to complete a deal. “When you talk about these types of figures, it’s usually because the player has generated a certain level of expectation....

Rapport, a South African newspaper publication reported that many of the de Villiers’ current and former teammates revealed that certain developments in recent years in South African cricket have made de Villiers considers his future in the longest format of the game. The newspaper claimed that an injury-stricken Vernon Philander’s selection ahead of an in-form Kyle Abbott in the 2015 ICC World Cup semi-final against New Zealand, in spite of having a hamstring injury is just one of the many reasons that have led to de Villiers’ disappointment with the current state of South African cricket affairs....

The bulk of Morkredd is spent rolling a bright orb around, coordinating with a partner to push it together as well as solve puzzles that crop up along the way. The gimmick is that, with the orb being a light source itself, it makes the player characters cast shadows that can kill their partner. This forces players to think about environmental traversal in a way that they may not be used to in this kind of game, and while it can be frustrating at times, it’s a unique gimmick that helps Morkredd stand out from the sea of similar indie games on the market....

The last African side left in World Cup 2022 defended superbly throughout and had two golden chances to win it in extra time — Walid Cheddira twice going close. It mattered little, though, as Spain failed with their first three spot-kicks in the shootout, leaving Achraf Hakimi to nervelessly convert the decisive kick with an audacious Panenka chip, and send his team through to a meeting with Portugal or Switzerland in the third quarterfinal on Saturday....

Both sides need a positive early result with world No.2 Belgium also in Group F and looming as strong favourites to top the section. Croatia have arrived in Qatar on the back of a five-game winning run that included a 1-0 victory against France in June. Morocco beat Georgia 3-0 in a friendly just prior to the World Cup but they may struggle to match it with a Croatian side in form and spurred on by their 2018 heartbreak....

The early years of his reign at Manchester United saw the factory production line-like efficiency in churning out young players. The fact that there are two instances of “Fergie’s Fledglings” pretty much says it all. The first batch of the Fledglings were part of the team that made it to the final of the 1986 FA Youth Cup, losing out to bitter rivals Manchester City. From that team, Lee Martin, Tony Gill and David Wilson would go on to become some of the first Fledglings....

The former frontman for The Smiths was performing at the Portland’s Moda Center on Monday, September 30, when he spotted the protester in the crowd. The woman was seen holding up two signs, one reading “Bigmouth Indeed” in reference to The Smiths’ 1986 song, “Bigmouth Strikes Again.” The second sign was a logo of the anti-Islam party ‘For Britain,’ which Morrissey has publicly shown support for, with a big red cross running through it....

Many Elder Scrolls fans consider Morrowind to be the best open world Bethesda game, surpassing even Oblivion and ubiquitous Skyrim. And to keep the aging title from falling too far behind its younger siblings, there are a number of mods to add a bit of polish to the game. The robust Rebirth mod, for example, completely overhauls Morrowind’s graphics, rebalances the difficulty, reworks many regions and cities, and even adds over 20 creatures and hundreds of new spells and equipment....

Anjanath Plate is used in several weapons and pieces of armor themed around the aggressive Anjanath. To get access to the High Rank quests, players will need to work their way through either the Village or Hub Quests until reaching 4* hunts. Fortunately, the plate does drop in Low Rank hunts, making farming easier for players already tackling High Rank content. RELATED: Monster Hunter Rise: How to Get Nargacuga Marrow...

These Three Lords consist of the Frankenstein’s Monster-inspired Garangolm, the werewolf-inspired Lunagaron, and the flagship monster of the Sunbreak expansion, Malzeno, heavily inspired by European depictions of vampires. Though not all of their movesets have been detailed just yet, more information is being released every week, and the more fans get to see of these Three Lords, the more they’re looking forward to facing off against the behemoths. But taking on these beasts won’t be an easy feat, especially with abilities like Malzeno’s Bloodblight attack....

In a minute-long teaser trailer for The Game Awards, Capcom reveals its upcoming expansion will bring hunters to an outpost in the land of Elgado. From there they will be able to take on quests featuring monsters like the brand-new Lunagaron, which seems to be an ice-wielding variant of Monster Hunter World’s Odogaron that takes its “true form” under the silver light of the moon. When the Lunagaron is encountered in the trailer, players are saved by a character who looks strikingly similar to The Argosy trader Rondine....

While some old-school fans rejoiced over being able to hear the main character speak, they may have missed out on just how deep Rise’s movement system looks....

Many players will want to adopt a Palamute simply because they’ve quickly become a fan-favorite creature in the Monster Hunter franchise. In actuality, recruiting several Palamutes is a very practical decision. There are Palamute varieties for each elemental attribute, and they have the potential for raw power to boot. To befriend a Palamute, the method is very similar to how players would find other eggs in Monster Hunter Stories 2....

In order to prevent a food shortage and protect the U.S. supply chain, President Donald Trump used his powers under the Defense Production Act to keep meatpacking plants open. Some facilities, however, remain closed because of the threat of coronavirus. Hartzler’s bill, the Protecting Protein Production and Consumers Access Act (PPPCAA), seeks to hold meat processing plants harmless from lawsuits. Exceptions would include cases brought because of criminal misconduct, reckless misconduct, gross negligence by the facility or a willful disregard for employees’ safety....

Williams, who became famous for his former long-running eponymous show, currently hosts Military Makeover on Lifetime and is a resident of Miami, made his displeasure known regarding the COVID-19 policies from Governor Ron DeSantis, and more specifically Ladapo. His tweet came as a reply to an announcement from Kyle Lamb, who works on DeSantis’ data and communications team.
