The 41st president had returned home from a separate hospitalization just weeks ago.
“A U.S. delegation is in ongoing talks with North Korean officials at Panmunjom,” a State Department spokeswoman said.
61 years ago, the Frisbee was born. That was when Wham-O Inc. acquired the rights to the flying disc and officially named it. Now, the company says it’s reinvented the Frisbee. This new version looks wobbly and warped. It is called the Frisbee Sonic.
It is basically a frisbee that has been all twisted up. It’s weird. It’s being funded on Kickstarter, because you know, god forbid they use their own money and just make the damn thing. The crowdfunding campaign advertises the Frisbee Sonic as the “‘square’ Frisbee” that’s “easier to hold and to throw”. Maybe that’s true, but do we really need a new frisbee? And if you watch the video, it looks like the damn thing barely works and doesn’t fly as smoothly as the original.
Hey, I have something for you!… Here’s a busted up old plastic plate. Look how it flies through the air. Seriously, this is stupid and silly. Maybe I’m wrong, for the sake of the backers, but I doubt it because I’m never wrong.

ESPN recently launched its sports streaming service called ESPN+ and among other things, it will begin streaming exclusive UFC fights next year. The company has now announced that it’s adding e-sports to the mix as well. It’s going to start broadcasting several League of Legends championships live from this summer. The LoL esports competitions will be available on ESPN+ as part of a new multi-year agreement that the company has signed with developer Riot Games.
The first League of Legends competition to be broadcast live on ESPN+ is the 2018 North American League of Legends Championship Series Summer Split which kicks off on June 16th. ESPN+ subscribers will be able to watch it live through the ESPN app and the service’s website.
The NA LCS is one of the biggest LoL league in the region with 10 teams facing off against each other twice throughout the season. A total of 18 matches each are played with every team playing once per day. The competition is divided into two splits – Spring and Summer with the matches streaming live on ESPN+ on Saturdays and Sundays.
The NA LCS Summer Finals will take place at the Oracle Arena in Oakland, CA on September 8-9 while the third place match will be on Saturday, September 9. Once the Summer Split is completed, only three teams will qualify for the League of Legends World Championship which takes place in South Korea this fall.

If you have hooked up a 2018 Samsung QLED TV to your gaming setup then the latest update that Samsung is sending out for these TVs will appeal to you quite a lot. The company is adding FreeSync support to its 2018 lineup of QLED TVs to allow for a smoother gaming experience. FreeSync support will reduce screen tearing during gaming sessions and enable overall fluid visuals.
Samsung talked about its partnership with Microsoft’s Xbox business during the unveiling event of these TVs so those who have an Xbox One X will now be able to take full advantage of FreeSync support on the 2018 QLED TV lineup.
The FreeSync update is now rolling out for Samsung’s 2018 NU8000, Q6FN, Q7FN, Q8FN, and Q9FN models. Once the latest firmware update is installed on these TVs, the FreeSync option can be found under Game Mode in the settings menu.
However, enabling FreeSync support means that users will have to make compromises in other places. For example, there’s only support for 1080p resolution with FreeSync enabled right now and Samsung also points out that once the feature is enabled, users may notice random quirks with the TVs brightness. That may not prevent many from giving it a shot since the more fluid visuals will certainly allow for a much better gaming experience on Samsung’s gorgeous new QLED TVs.
