The criteria? We were looking for companies making noteworthy contributions across different industries and different categories of giving. We also put the spotlight on firms and people who were targeting a specific need. For example: Starbucks founder Howard Schultz provided money to unemployed restaurant workers and also made sure often-overlooked undocumented food service employees got help as well. And of course we featured some companies that reached out and assisted front line medical workers....

Solskjaer was permanently appointed manager last month following an impressive interim spell following Jose Mourinho’s December sacking but seven defeats in nine games has raised doubts. United were swept aside 2-0 by neighbours and Premier League champions Manchester City on Wednesday, leaving the Red Devils three points adrift of the top four. Ince – who won two Premier League titles and 10 trophies in total during his time in Manchester – criticised Solskjaer’s approach and his determination to replicate iconic former boss Ferguson....

Seen by many as one of the best introductory heroes, players that have never touched Overwatch can hop into the game for the first time, select Mercy, and have a positive impact on the match.

Based on Minecraft 1.19 ore distribution levels, diamonds are still among the rarest minerals in the game as of 2023. While some ore such as Netherite and Ancient Debris are statistically even more difficult to farm, the recipes that require them tend to be more of a luxury than a must-have upgrade over diamond gear, at least until endgame. As such, discovering diamonds as quickly as possible is still imperative to a successful Minecraft run, especially in enemy-infested biomes....

After the first three-day tour game against India A ended in a draw on Tuesday (December 8), the visitors’ ‘A’ side are scheduled to play India’s Test squad in a pink-ball game at the Sydney Cricket Ground from December 11 to 13.

India were tied down by Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazlewood in the first few overs, and Shikhar Dhawan fell early on. While KL Rahul looked good in an enterprising 51, the rest of India’s top order crumbled around him. Stranded at 92/5, the Indian cricket team was left praying that their finisher duo of Hardik Pandya and Ravindra Jadeja would bail them out once again.

At that point, Rishabh Pant was attended to by the physio and after a few minutes of treatment, the wicket-keeper decided to carry on. However, post the injury, he never quite looked comfortable, with him being dismissed a couple of overs later. Wriddhiman Saha is keeping wickets instead of Rishabh Pant in the 2nd innings Owing to a change in the ICC’s regulations for substitutes, the Indian cricket team have been able to call upon Wriddhiman Saha as a substitute wicket-keeper, although it must be noted that the latter won’t be able to bat, even if Rishabh Pant is diagnosed with a serious arm injury....

India must thank Ravindra Jadeja for lifting them to a competitive total in the first T20I with a brilliant cameo of 44 not out from 23, hitting five fours and a six. The all-rounder took the attack to Josh Hazlewood (0/39) and Mitchell Starc (2/34) as 64 runs were scored in the last five overs.
