CALIFORNIA FIRE: 62,000 People Have Fled Blaze

Barcelona sign Uruguay starlet Santiago Bueno and Nigerian forward Ezekiel Joseph Bassey



Barcelona look unlikely to bolster Luis Enrique's first-team squad before the end of the transfer window, but the Spanish giants have announced the arrivals of two signings for the future in the shape of Uruguay centre-back Santiago Bueno and Nigerian forward Ezekiel Joseph Bassey.
The La Liga champions were heavily linked with Shakhtar Donetsk right-back Darijo Srna earlier in the window after Aleix Vidal appeared to have fallen out of favour with Luis Enrique.
However, club technical secretary Robert Fernandez later said that they had decided to keep Vidal until the end of the season, adding that they will not sign any players unless someone leaves the Nou Camp. Barcelona cannot afford to make any major investments at this time after they spent more than €120m (£103m, $129.5m) during the summer to bring in Paco Alcacer, Samuel Umtiti, Andre Gomes, Jasper Cillessen, Denis Suarez and Lucas Digne.
But Barcelona have announced two deadline additions after agreeing the permanent transfer of Peñarol's 18-year-old centre-back Santiago Bueno and the loan arrival of Bassey from Enyimba Football Club.
"FC Barcelona and CA Peñarol have reached an agreement for the transfer of Santiago Ignacio Bueno Sciutto. The player will be at Barca until June 30 2019, with an option to extend for three more seasons. The Uruguayan defender is currently playing the South American U20 Championship with his team. When he finishes his participation, he will join Barça," the club confirmed on their official website.
"FC Barcelona and Enyimba Football Club have reached an agreement for the loan transfer of Ezekiel Joseph Bassey to Barça B until the end of the season. The agreement includes an option to buy him on permanent basis during the next two seasons. The 20-year-old Nigerian forward will undergo medical examination in the next few hours," a follow-up read.
Barcelona have failed to disclose the details of both agreements but Sport is reporting that the Catalans have agreed to pay €1m plus add-ons to Peñarol for the services of Bueno – with the Uruguayan outfit keeping 20% of his rights.
Both players will initially join the Barcelona second team but Buenos's long-term agreement suggests that the club have signed him with the hopes he can breakthrough intro the first-team in the near future. Sport adds that, in case the Uruguay starlet manages to establish himself as a senior player, the Catalans would have to pay €5m extra for his services.

Every Delayed 2020 Movie Without A New Release Date

Several 2020 movies have seen their release dates delayed as a result of the coronavirus pandemic; here's every film that still needs a new one. With theaters closed down and film and TV production shut-down until further notice, Hollywood's 2020 release calendar has been all but  wiped clean on through to the middle of July  (with a few exceptions which will eventually have to move, as we'll discuss later). There's no guarantee theaters will be reopen for business by that point either, in spite of chains like Cinemark saying  they hope to resume showing new movies  that month. The New Mutants ANTLERS RUN THE WOMAN IN THE WINDOW LAST NIGHT IN SOHO SPIRAL: FROM THE BOOK OF SAW GREYHOUND ANTEBELLUM Other Movies On top of all the bigger 2020 movies in need of a new release date after being delayed, there are also smaller indie titles like  Promising Young Woman  and  Saint Maud  (both of which premiered to strong reviews on the film festival cir...

CALIFORNIA FIRE: 62,000 People Have Fled Blaze

  The evacuations have come amid a grueling heat wave, the coronavirus pandemic and air thick with smoke. The wildfires have burned through more than 350,000 acres. The wildfires that continued to rip across Northern California on Thursday have forced 62,000 people from their homes and threaten evacuations for 100,000 more. Firefighters have struggled to contain the blazes, and massive smoke clouds have harmed the air quality. A large group of fires burning in wine country west of Sacramento had grown to cover 131,000 acres, according to Cal Fire, the state’s fire authority. The agency said that, in all, nearly 350,000 acres have burned in Northern and Central California, with many fires sparked by lightning strikes in the high heat and then fanned by winds. Those conditions helped new fires sprout across the state on Wednesday and Thursday, and caused other fires to merge, complicating efforts to contain the combined blazes. Almost two dozen major fires were reported on Wednesday,...

#Yara Virus : The New Mysterious Virus Found In Brazil.

Scientists have discovered a new virus in an artificial lake in Brazil. This mysterious virus found in amoebae has been named “Yaravirus.” This latest discovery comes as the coronavirus from China continues to ravage the world. While the world scrabbles around looking for a cure for the deadly coronavirus, scientists have found another virus. Unlike the former which started in  China,  this new one comes from an artificial lake in  Brazil. Independent  reports that this virus named "Yaravirus" was found in an amoebae. It was named after "Yara" or “Iara,” which means 'mother of waters' - a mythical siren/mermaid figure from Brazilian mythology who would lure sailors underwater. Scientists are saying that this virus is mysterious because it has genes that no one has seen before. Reporting the new discovery in  bioRxiv, a  biological sciences website, the researchers wrote:  “We report the discovery of Yaravirus, a new lineage of amoe...
