M. catarrhalis is typically found in the nasopharynx of young children and is one cause of childhood infections such as otitis media (middle ear infection), sinusitis (inflammation of the sinuses), and conjunctivitis (pink eye). It can also cause respiratory disease in adults, such as bronchopneumonia. In older people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder (COPD) (a long-term, inflammatory lung disease that blocks airflow to the lungs) or chronic bronchitis, it causes lower respiratory tract infections....

Because it does pull from Marvel Comics, there are quite a few Easter eggs and references for long-time comic book fans. Fans looking for some of the Easter eggs spotted in early trailers for the movie, however, might find themselves disappointed. The Spider-Man graffiti present in the trailers, for example, isn’t a part of the movie at all. Nor is the Oscorp logo that was seen on a building in the trailer....

That’s beside the point, however, the game announcement itself leaked earlier today, revealing that Square Enix and Eidos-Montreal are hard at work on a new Deus Ex title called Deus Ex: Mankind Divided. While the initial leak didn’t contain much information, accompanying screenshots implied that Mankind Divided is a direct sequel to Deus Ex: Human Revolution, and will once again star that game’s protagonist, Adam Jensen. In light of the leak, Game Informer - who has clearly had an exclusive about Deus Ex: Mankind Divided in production for a while, given that the game graces the cover of the latest issue - has released more information about the upcoming title....

In a YouTube clip uploaded to channel PlayStation Access, hosts Ash and Rob give some commentary about the upcoming port of God of War.

The number of companies and organizations accepting Bitcoin as payment continues to grow despite the cryptocurrency’s wild price swings. The motivation appears to be a shrewd mix of embracing the digital future and sly promotion. Tesla is perhaps the best-known adopter of Bitcoin. It’s on-again, off-again acceptance of the crypto jacked and spiked its price, underscoring its limits as an asset. In February, Tesla announced a $1.5 billion investment in Bitcoin and said it would accept crypto for the purchase of its electric cars....

Now, Wrestling Observer has revealed a few more details about the show. It was originally announced that servicemen and women and their families will be at the ThunderDome at the Amway Center, which many thought was an indication that they would be present live at the venue. But, Wrestling Observer have reported that they will be there virtually, just like how fans have been seen virtually on WWE RAW, WWE SmackDown and pay-per-views....

Fans are still waiting for the long-anticipated Breath of the Wild sequel in the near future, but Hyrule Warriors could get a third game in a shorter period of time if it decides to look backwards instead of forwards. With close to forty years of Zelda games to take inspiration from, Hyrule Warriors could revisit the franchise’s previous games to build on its own timeline, history, and lore. Not only would it help generate nostalgia for older players and foster an appreciation for the Zelda series in a younger audience, but it could help secure a permanent place for Hyrule Warriors as a more permanent fixture of Zelda games....

The images, posted today on Reddit, show a football-shaped controller with no face buttons, a prominent touch screen, shoulder triggers, and two analog thumb sticks. The poster of the pictures, a Reddit user calling himself “perkele37,” posted the pictures to the NintendoNX subreddit, and outlined a few of the features found on the controller; namely, the controller features haptic feedback and a 3.5mm headphone jack on the bottom. Perkele37 also states that the thumb pads on the controller are designed to only allow the upper “nubs” of the sticks to move, while the bottom part remains stationary....

Investigators determined a malfunctioning electric space heater started Sunday’s blaze in a 19-story apartment building in the Fordham Heights neighborhood of the Bronx borough, killing 19 people. Nine children were among the dead, and 30 people remained hospitalized on Sunday evening, Mayor Eric Adams said at a news conference. “On Sunday, January 9 our community witnessed a tragedy in the Fordham Heights section of the Bronx,” Salim Drammeh wrote on a GoFundMe page set up on Sunday night on behalf of the nonprofit Gambian Youth Organization....

The virus, which was first detected in Wuhan, China, has infected over 1.3 million people across at least 184 countries and regions to date. While more than 76,500 have died, over 292,400 have recovered. The U.S. has seen more than double the number of recoveries than South Korea, which reported at least 6,694. South Korea formerly had the highest number of cases outside China. America has more than 369,000 confirmed cases and counting, with New York reporting the highest number of infections of any state at 130,689 as of Monday, according to the latest figures from New York Governor Andrew Cuomo....

In the build-up to the series, Kohli had stated that he was willing to sacrifice his batting position, and come lower down in the order to accommodate the in-form KL Rahul. He stuck to his word and batted at number four as all the openers played at Mumbai. The move, however, did not work, and ended up in a massive defeat for India. While Shikhar Dhawan got a half-century in the game, and KL Rahul fell just short of one, it was the conservative mindset of the duo at Mumbai that hurt India at Wankhede, despite the fact that they featured in a second-wicket stand worth over hundred after Rohit Sharma’s early dismissal....

The Atlas Lions returned to the quadrennial showpiece since 1998 and have been paired with European heavyweights Portugal and Spain alongside Iran in Group B. Ahead of the stern tests in Russia, Bofiane reflected on the team’s unbeaten run in the qualification series and hopes the north African nation can steal the show in their group. “I’m so happy and so proud to be in this team because we had a very good qualification,” Boufal told BBCSport....

Beaten by Democratic Republic of Congo in their Group C opener, the former champions could ill afford another slip. But Mathieu Dossevi shocked the more fancied Moroccans as he handed Togo a 1-0 lead by scoring at the end of a mazy run. Aziz Bouhaddouz justified his late call-up to the squad by bringing Morocco level nine minutes later. Romain Saiss put Morocco ahead before halftime and a long-range shot from Youssef En-Nesyri in the 72nd completed the win....

RELATED: Monster Hunter Rise: Best Ammo Items & How To Craft Them Unfortunately, the many number of Gunlances featured in a Monster Huntergame like Rise can be overwhelming to players. Thankfully, some exceedingly-powerful Gunlances do pack more than enough punch to pierce through the toughest opponents, and even more so than other Gunlances in the game.

Prep, Hitzones, and Weaknesses As mentioned, Almudron’s primary gimmick is the mud it uses to attack players. This mud can on occasion inflict waterblight, so players will want to be prepared for that. It isn’t going to be a huge detriment to players using weapons that don’t rely heavily on stamina use. However, to cure it players can eat a nullberry or continuously roll. It will take a fair bit of rolling, though, especially since both waterblight and rolling affect stamina....
