"The World Players Association has affiliates throughout the world and when sports of the level of the NBA, the National Hockey League, Major League Baseball, international rugby... the football leagues in Europe are closing down because of the pandemic, the IOC was looking almost incredibly hopeful to the extent of being naive."

SAO PAULO, Dec 17 (Reuters) - Pork products sold at retailers in Brazil contain antibiotic-resistant bacteria, according to a study funded by animal rights group World Animal Protection (WAP), providing potential evidence of overuse of the medicines in food livestock.

Motion Sense allows for gesture control for media -- you can now play and pause audio and video streams with hand gestures rather than voice commands or, since it's a smart display, screen taps. CNET's Molly Price found the controls to be usable, if a bit sensitive -- an errant laundry folding gesture inadvertently paused YouTube during her testing, but otherwise she found it faster and simpler than voice commands (you can read her full ). 

I reset my router roughly once a month, but the best time to reset your router is when you're having connectivity issues. Consistently slow speeds, a laggy connection or one that goes out entirely are indicators you may need to reset the router. And if you have separate modem and router devices, go ahead and reset the modem while you're at it. There's really no accepted time frame for resetting your router.

And of course, consumers who need a camera for video calls are left in the lurch (although the more privacy-minded crowd will be more than happy to have one less security concern). And that gorgeous Ambient EQ-powered screen is surrounded by a bezel that could make a first-gen iPad blush. That's not to say the Nest Hub excelled in every category. The speakers produce sound that, while audible, is more than a little anemic.

"Beyond treating disease, the antibiotics are commonly used to avoid illnesses caused by the handling of the animals and the high levels of stress caused by the extreme conditions in which they are confined," WAP said.

"It just goes to show you that when people pull together, you know, things get bigger and bigger and bigger - and especially the school, how fabulous to have that happen," said Sarandon as she sang English nursery rhymes with the kids.

Shaar's project "Soufra" - which means a table laden with food - drew the attention of Hollywood actress and social activist Susan Sarandon, whose documentary - also called "Soufra" - was screened for the first time this week in Beirut.

Of course the new Nest Hub bests the old one -- it does more and performs better, all without sacrificing any of the elements that made the first-gen smart display our favorite overall. Final verdict: The new Nest Hub wins You weren't expecting a device now entering middle age (by smart home standards, at least) to oust the latest and greatest, were you?

'We were the first major health insurer to commit to a customer rebate and are now acting on this pledge. As an organisation without shareholders our customers come first, and we continue to support them throughout these times.'

Echoing that view, the documentary's director Thomas Morgan said the project had helped to change how Shaar and the other women viewed themselves, "like they were contributors for the first time, (that) they were able to do something".

What the Hub lacked in brawn, however, it more than made up for in brains and beauty. The resulting photos and videos simply pop off the screen in a way the competition still has yet to emulate (Amazon tried with the new  and the result is impressive, but still not quite up to par with Google's engineering). On both the first- and second-gen 7-inch Hubs as well as Google's eventual heavyweight contender, the 10-inch Nest Hub Max, an ambient light sensor adjusts screen brightness and color temperature to match the surrounding room.

From April this year, eligible individual Bupa customers, and small and large business customers funding health insurance for their staff, can expect to receive a payment equivalent to around one month's premium.

BERN, March 24 (Reuters) - A change of culture is needed at the International Olympic Committee (IOC) to make decision-making more inclusive, an association representing 85,000 athletes around the world said on Tuesday, following the postponement of the Tokyo Olympics to 2021.



Shaar, who escorted Sarandon around the camp, said she also had plans now to establish a small restaurant which could serve as "a safe place for women to come and relax mentally and physically, to come to eat, drink and express themselves more".
