That is why the recent U.S. government publication of restricted cultural property imports originating in Turkey, at the latter’s request, has caused mixed reactions, including outrage. While illicit trafficking in antiquities is a grave problem, some specialists fear that Turkey might use the new agreement to further marginalize displaced Indigenous communities by reducing whatever little autonomy they have left over their vanishing heritage. As a researcher of heritage crime and preservation politics with family roots in the Ottoman Empire’s erased Armenian and Assyrian communities, I am unconvinced that Turkey has pursued the U....

What he did in the mid-1980s — taking a young, black, explosively-talented quarterback and giving him the freedom to play the position as it fit his skills, rather than fitting them to the traditional quarterback mold — has been copied plenty of times since, and more frequently in recent years. Ron Rivera with Cam Newton, Jim Harbaugh with Colin Kaepernick, even Mike Shanahan with Robert Griffin III for a year, all come to mind....

The Fox 11 News WLUK station announced that Petoniak was receiving treatment for COVID-19 back in November, explaining why viewers may have noticed his absence in broadcasts around that time. In a Facebook post on Tuesday, Petoniak said he would be back on air this week and was “so thankful” to be returning. He was fully-vaccinated but had not received a booster shot when he tested positive for COVID-19, the news station said....

Twisted Metal was originally slated for an October release this year but the title was later delayed. Fans of the franchise have been anticipating Twisted Metal for the longest time, hoping for a nostalgic trip down a rubble-covered memory lane, and while the four month delay may have upset many hoping to play it this October, Jaffe assures fans that the extra time will allow them to polish title. We’re all for that....

Bikini Bodhi is a longtime content creator of Rainbow Six Siege, with 180 thousand followers on Twitter, and a whopping 1.66 million subscribers on YouTube. The hefty majority of the content he creates revolves around the widely popular shooter by Ubisoft and until August 22, he had yet to be banned a single time on any of his platforms. Even amid massive cheating problems in Rainbow Six Siege, Bikini Bodhi continues to create content on both YouTube and Twitch for his fans to enjoy....

A 128GB torrent was uploaded onto message board website 4Chan late on Tuesday night and included Twitch creator payout reports dating back to 2019. British video game news website Eurogamer added the leak also included information about Twitch clients, every property Twitch owns and an unreleased competitor for video game distribution service Steam According to the anonymous poster on 4Chan, the reason behind the leak was to “foster more disruption and competition in the online video streaming space....

Recently, a couple of Twitch’s most popular streamers were temporarily removed from the platform for streaming anime. Pokimane was banned for 48 hours after streaming Avatar on her channel, and DisguisedToast got hit with a one-month Twitch ban for broadcasting Death Note. DisguisedToast stated that he got banned intentionally to scare others away from watching anime on the platform. But it took so long for the streamer to get booted — the entirety of Naruto and almost all of Death Note — that the stunt ironically may have caused some people to conclude that they likely wouldn’t get in trouble for such behavior....

As Twitch grows, the company has made efforts to focus more on diversity and inclusion. However, Twitch has a rocky track record when it comes to its inclusive initiatives. Sometimes, the company can correct some mistakes, like with Twitch’s removal of the Blind Playthrough tag for its ableist connotations. When it comes to streamers and viewers in the LGBTQ+ community, there are some notable tag options. The main tag that members of this community can use is the LGBTQIA+ tag, and a drag tag was also added last year to recognize drag artists and streams....

Call of Duty: Warzone dropped in 2020 as a free-to-play battle royale companion to 2019’s Modern Warfare. Understandably for a game like this, it became popular among streamers and competitive players. It continues to receive updates and new content as a sequel waits on the horizon, but some prominent players seem to be losing interest in the property.

On December 29, a 6.4 magnitude earthquake occurred in Croatia, and this one was too strong to be ignored. Luka “Perkz” Perkovic was in the midst of streaming League of Legends live on Twitch when his webcam began to wobble slightly. The event seemed mild enough initially, but quickly progressed to more noticeable shaking. Loud sounds could be heard offscreen, perhaps of items falling, and the streamer removed his headset, exclaiming, “Holy sh*t....

Ludwig became the most subscribed to streamer on Twitch thanks to his impressive nine-day subathon. Concerned that viewers were spending too much money on subscriptions, Ludwig attempted to limit large donations. He has since resorted to banning viewers that ignore the rules. RELATED: Twitch Streamer xQc Almost Passes Out During GTA Online Bank Heist The idea of a subathon is that the stream continues as long as it keeps getting new subscribers....

Previously, we’ve seen Twitch broadcast marathons of The Joy of Painting with Bob Ross to publicize its section devoted to arts and crafts. Now, the site has opened a new section devoted to a very niche type of broadcast — live streams of people eating. Social eating is apparently already a hit in South Korea, where it’s colloquially referred to as “muk-bang,” which literally translates to “eating broadcast.” The array of edibles consumed on camera so far has been about what one would expect from a service like Twitch....

Twitter’s official Spaces account on Thursday announced the testing of Ticketed Spaces for “some Hosts.” The account said it would only experiment with the feature with iOS users for now, but hopes to get it to everyone in the near future. Ticketed Spaces initially was announced in June, and applications have been open for people to test it out. Some applicants now may have the ability to charge users to listen to the Spaces they host, though it’s unclear when Ticketed Spaces would move from a test to a permanent feature....

With Luis Suarez on the bench, Lionel Messi and Antoine Griezmann lead the line for Barcelona. Messi was once again in the thick of the action and provided his 20th assist of the season in the first half, as he teed up Arturo Vidal in the 15th minute. The diminutive Argentine became the first player in La Liga and second overall after Thierry Henry to record 20+ goals as well as assists in a single season....

According to findings released this week in the Nature journal (via The New York Post), one beef hot dog on a bun costs whoever eats it 36 minutes off their life, “largely due to the detrimental effect of processed meat.” Chestnut has eaten no fewer than 52 hot dogs in any Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contests since 2006. His lowest recorded number of hot dogs eaten in the competition, 32, came in 2005....

Turkish Football Federation (TFF) president Yildirim Demiroren handed over the bid documents to UEFA general secretary Theodore Theodoridis at the governing body’s headquarters in Nyon on Thursday. “We are pleased to present the Turkish bid to stage UEFA EURO 2024 to the UEFA general secretary today,” said Demiroren. “I am also delighted to announce that our federation, which is bidding for the fourth successive time, has prepared our best bid ever, with unprecedented state support....

Activating Live Photos Affects the Shutter Sound When Apple added Live Photos to the iPhone, the camera sound that played when a picture was taken disappeared by default, even with all the phone sounds on. This change proved beneficial because a Live Photo captures a few seconds of sound while recording a picture, and if the camera plays the shutter sound, that’s all you’d hear when viewing that Live Photo. If you use Live Photos, toggle the feature on and off in the Camera app....
