Psaki added that they are “exploring ways to speed up” the process. “It’s important our notes reflect the history and diversity of our country, and the image of Harriet Tubman—a role model for leadership and participation in our democracy—gracing the new $20 note would reflect that,” said the Treasury Department in an emailed statement to Newsweek. Tubman is celebrated for her work as a 19th-century abolitionist and political activist who rescued hundreds of enslaved people using a network of safe houses called the Underground Railroad....

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex received a hostile welcome from a handful of protesters as they arrived at the One Young World 2022 summit in Manchester, England, on Monday. A standing ovation, cheers and a chorus of applause greeted the pair inside, but the hostility outside was reported in headlines across the globe.

Speaking to news anchor and vocal Sussex critic Eamonn Holmes for GB News, Bower discussed the release of his latest work, Revenge: Meghan, Harry and the war between the Windsors. The bestselling book has had considerable press attention in the U.K. following its July 21 release due to multiple sensational claims, among them being that Meghan made Kate Middleton cry in an argument before her wedding to Harry, that Harry changed his cellphone number without telling his family to please his wife, and that the queen said “thank goodness Meghan isn’t coming” in reference to the funeral of Prince Philip....
This morning, the official Halo YouTube account uploaded a 12-minute deep dive into Halo Infinite’s armor customization options. Speaking on the topic, Live Design Director Ryan Paradis stated that the game will feature enough content on day one to offer “millions of customization combinations for Spartans on the battlefield.” Paradis goes on to highlight some of the options, including individual armor pieces and coatings.

Back in August, many flight testers noted that the updated multiplayer bots for Halo Infinite were much more dynamic and challenging than in previous entries. While it ultimately depends on the skill level of any given player, bots can provide an effective way to challenge players in-between online matches. The designs of enemy bots tend to be rather bland and forgettable, considering their purpose is essentially target practice, but one player has since noticed a bot with some unique eccentricities....
Over the past week, rumors and leaks have circulated claiming that Halo Infinite’s multiplayer would launch very soon. Naturally, player anticipation built quickly for the rumored early launch, but some remained skeptical. RELATED: Halo Infinite Gets Awesome Live-Action Trailer On November 13, an independent account “confirmed” that the multiplayer section of Halo Infinite would launch on November 15. However, the reporter has since taken the claim back, stating that a last-minute change will be pushing the release back to later in the month....
343 Industries has had an uphill battle for Halo Infinite’s armor customization once the game released, as many players have been unhappy with its systems. Despite arguably providing what are the best-looking Spartans in the series to date, Halo Infinite may also have the most restrictive armor customization in part due to its Armor Core system. This decision sacrifices player expression and convenience for in-game coherency and monetization, requiring players to spend $8 for a blue armor coating when in previous games they could select whatever color they want....
Ever since the inception of the series with Halo: Combat Evolved on the original Xbox, players have had the option to take on the Covenant with a friend. Unfortunately, 343 Industries revealed earlier this year that the Halo Infinite campaign would not be continuing this trend, as it lacked local and online co-op at launch. The omission of this feature was a disappointment for many players. Luckily for those wanting to play with a second player, a new glitch has been discovered that looks to give fans that chance....
Originally released back on 2003, well before the days of YouTube and other video sharing platforms, Red vs. Blue quickly became synonomous with the Halo series as a whole. Considering that Rooster Teeth is still producing and distributing the series on various platforms to this day, it is clear just how integral Red vs. Blue is to the legacy of Halo. With the series having such a large fan base, and many gaining interest in the Halo franchise because of it, it makes sense that 343 Industries has actively inserted several references to the show within Halo Infinite....
With plenty of depth among the Thunder’s guards, Diallo was expected to start the season in the G-League, however, OKC’s early season injury issues resulted in the youngster quickly finding a place in Billy Donovan’s rotation. In mid-October, Diallo impressed during his debut against the Warriors, and less than a month later, he dropped 18 points on the Kings. Diallo continued to impress throughout the remainder of 2018, however, he has barely featured since the turn of the year, playing just eight minutes in the Thunder’s last 10 fixtures....
