The body was discovered by a passerby near the shoreline off the Neuse River Trail, east of the city, around 11 a.m. Deputies from the Wake County Sheriff’s Office arrived on the scene at the 5400 block of Allen Drive and are investigating the case as a homicide. “It’s not every day, it’s not every morning, that you find what could be a person’s body in a suitcase, in a river,” Wake County Sheriff Gerald Baker told reporters on Monday afternoon....

On Monday, the Jamestown Police Department shared a video captured by officer Mark Conklin’s bodycam when he responded to a fire on William Street.

The reigning World and Olympic double sprint champion will join some of Poland’s finest athletes for the Aug 23 meet, including two-time Olympic shot put champion Tomasz Majewski and world hammer silver medallist, Anita Wlodarczyk, reports CMC. Bolt said he was keen on the new experience. “I’m looking forward to running in Poland for the first time,” the 27-year-old Jamaican said. “I have never raced in a football stadium before so that will be something new and unique....

The team has made some alterations to the existing ones, which will make them lighter due to the edges being cut down and help in producing more power on the shots as a result of reduced air resistance. “During our last semester at IIT Bombay, we realised that the shape of the bat is not optimised. We did a few iterations and finally came up with the design for the Eagle bat....

A bone density test does not show arthritis. This article will discuss why you might need a bone density test, how it is done, the risks of having a bone density scan, and what your results mean.

Milan have been linked to a number of leading forwards over the course of an ambitious close-season spending spree, with Torino’s Andrea Belotti viewed as their most likely option after Alvaro Morata agreed to join Chelsea and Borussia Dortmund said they are unwilling to sell Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang this close to the start of the 2017-18 campaign. Fiorentina’s Nikola Kalinic has been touted as an alternative but Fassone told Gazzetta dello Sport a “Mr X” could arrive instead as the Rossoneri chase another elite signing....

He’d taken Teddy out to the islands when Teddy was still a small boy, too young to be much help on the boat. All he’d been able to do was untangle the lines and tie off the hooks. He’d cut himself a few times, and the blood dotted his fingertips and smeared his palms. They’d left in the dark, and when the sun appeared, it was a cold ivory that pushed up from the edge of the sea, and the islands appeared out of the fading dusk, huddled together, as if they’d been caught at something....

The book in question is Chuck Kinder’s new “Honeymooners,” about the West Coast writing scene in the late ’70s. Those days were a last call for the grand (if dismaying) big-drinking, bad-behaving, macho tradition of American fiction. Sure, some writers still like to hoist a drink or three and break up the furniture, but for a bunch of reasons-from modern health science to the disappearance of genteel poverty as a viable lifestyle-the bad old days are pretty much gone....

News of a new Boondock Saints film actually coming out is more than enough to excite the extremely passionate fanbase. What’s even more reason to party though is that Duffy is back, as are the stars of the show: Norman Reedus and Sean Patrick Flanery. The pair of actors originated the lead roles of Irish twin brothers who become vigilantes all the way back in 1999 with the first installment of the series, and they are seemingly confirmed to be back as not only the stars but producers as well....

Loot boxes are implemented in a lot of games as a way of randomizing what premium gear and cosmetics players receive. Buying or earning a loot box gives a player a chance at incredibly epic loot, but it can also reveal something less exciting. The days of purchased loot boxes in Overwatch are coming to an end, and it’s going to happen before Overwatch 2’s release.

After sexual assault allegations came out against Overwatch League player Sinatraa, Blizzard offered refunds to players who bought the accused player’s newly released MVP Skin, Alien Zarya. Following the decision made earlier in March, Blizzard has confirmed the release of Fleta’s new Echo skin, Good v Evil, marks the end of the practice of releasing Overwatch League MVP skins, as mentioned in an official Overwatch League statement.

The tradition of “an eye for an eye” is so ancient and dangerously ingrained among the desert Arabs that 1,400 years ago the Qur’an called on good Muslims to forgo vengeance in order to expiate their sins. But the old codes of honor remained, and in the most troubled parts of Iraq today, increasingly, they prevail. When governments cannot or will not protect the people, then families, clans, tribes, gangs and militias will....

Imposter Iosefka is another NPC in Bloodborne that sometimes can be mistaken for Iosefka. Like the real Iosefka, she wears the White Church Set, with the exception of the headpiece. She carries a Threaded Cane (infused with Slow Poison) and a Repeating Pistol, as well as two Hunter Tools: the Augur of Ebrietas and A Call Beyond. Both the real and fake Iosefkas have incredibly interesting backstories. RELATED: Bloodborne: Explaining Eileen the Crow and Her Dark Task...

Unfortunately, whatever is happening with it comes at an odd time. Sony recently made an odd Bloodborne post, zooming in on the key art, and many hoped Sony was teasing some sort of announcement. Fans have been begging for a Bloodborne sequel, a proper remaster, a PC port, or just a 60 FPS PS5 upgrade for quite some now, but nothing came out of that tease. In fact, Sony even deleted it shortly after as fans asked for concrete details, and the two do not seem to be related outside of being about Bloodborne....

The Wolverhampton Wanderers captain fueled the talks as he expressed his desire to play for the Blue Tigers, and despite his meeting with Union Sports Minister Vijay Goel, there is still some way to go before India entertains foreign-based players in its national football team. Malvind Singh Benning is another promising player who plies his trade in the lower divisions of English football. The 23-year-old turns out for League Two outfit Mansfield Town, and the defender with Indian heritage is the latest name to be linked with the Indian national team....

Blue Fire, for the uninitiated, is a 3D platformer that combines elements of The Legend of Zelda and Dark Souls franchises. Blue Fire earned mixed reviews for its PC and Nintendo Switch release, so it will be interesting to see if the Stadia version fares any better. The Stadia platform technically has more horsepower than the Nintendo Switch, so perhaps the Stadia version will perform better than the Switch version at the very least....

Seattle acquired right-hander Drew Storen and cash considerations from Toronto in exchange for right-hander Joaquin Benoit, the clubs announced.
