Human remains from the Kopilo Cemetery, discovered by archaeologists from the Austrian Academy of Sciences (OeAW) and from Bosnia and Herzegovina, showed that the dead in the region were buried and not cremated like in the rest of Europe in the Bronze and Iron Ages. Kopilo, which is considered to be region’s first and so far only burial ground from the Bronze and Iron Ages and dates back to 1,300 BC, is located about 43 miles west of the country’s capital, Sarajevo....

Ball helped the Lakers to a 127-109 win over the Denver Nuggets by scoring 11 points with 16 rebounds and 11 assists. Ball recorded his first triple-double on November 11 against the Milwaukee Bucks, after flirting with one the second game of the season. He joined Magic Johnson and Jerry West as the only Lakers to ever record multiple triple-doubles in their rookie seasons. Much maligned for his poor shooting, Ball reminded everyone why he was respected enough to earn the number two pick in this year’s NBA Draft with an efficient five for 13 shooting effort....

Balloons come in 16 different color varieties and can be crafted using a combination of chemical compounds formed in Minecraft: Education Edition through the use of the compound creator block. This block takes elements created via the element constructor and material reducer blocks and combines them into chemical compounds that can even be found in the real world. Using a lead, some dye, and these compounds, Minecraft players can make tons of different colorful balloons to decorate their world with....

Adebayo has been a defensive savant in the paint and provided plenty of offense. He is the team’s third-leading scorer in the playoffs, averaging 17.8 points, to go with 10.9 rebounds and 4.6 assists in 35.9 minutes per game. Dragic has been the Heat’s second-leading scorer this postseason behind Jimmy Butler, averaging 19.9 points along with 4.6 assists in 33.4 minutes per game. Still, the show must go on. There will be a Game 2, which means Miami coach Erik Spoelstra needs to figure out how to replace his do-it-all big man and his veteran point guard....

An indictment against Bannon detailed how a figure referred to as “Unindicted Co-Conspirator 1” told “Unindicted Co-Conspirator 2” in text messages sent on or around February 19, 2019, that his salary “was $100k upfront then 20 [per] month.” “During the course of this conspiracy, Unindicted Co-Conspirator 1 received over two hundred and fifty thousand dollars in secret salary payments from WeBuildTheWall, Inc., despite the representations made in WeBuildTheWall, Inc.’s fundraising solicitations that he was not taking a single penny,” the indictment read....

With the bantamweight championship fight now scrapped, the flyweight championship tilt between champ Demetrious Johnson and Kyoji Horiguchi is bumped up from the co-main event to the headlining spot. This is the second time that the rematch has been postponed. It was originally supposed to place at UFC 177 in August, but Barao collapsed and suffered an injury while cutting weight. Joe Soto stepped in at the last minute and Dillashaw stopped him by fifth round stoppage....

Up-and-coming U.K. indie band Wet Leg earned a place on the playlist, alongside some heavy hitters like Beyonce, Prince, Bruce Springsteen and Aretha Franklin. Other artists named in the former president’s lineup include Harry Styles, Kacey Musgraves, Jack White and Kendrick Lamar. Some of the perhaps more surprising additions include younger acts like Lil Yachty, Rosalía, Burna Boy and Bad Bunny, and they prompted some fun reactions from fans....

“I am an advocate for the NCAA changing the rules in terms of shortening the shot clock, widening the lane, moving the three-point line back a little bit,’’ Obama told ESPN on Tuesday night. “I like how basketball is going in the NBA because it’s fluid… I’d like to see college basketball get back to that. It’s a fast game, let’s get it down to 30 seconds at minimum.”...

Foil company Reynolds Wrap is looking to pay someone to learn to grill, and the position is open to even the most amateur barbecuers. The company, which has previously hired “BBQ fanatics and rib-loving grill masters” as their Chief Grilling Officer, is now looking for their “Reynolds Rookie Griller.” The company explained the pros shouldn’t be the only ones “having all the fun.” Revealing more about the position, Reynolds said: “Are you scared to hold a spatula?...

Barbie is the first live-action movie based on the doll, and the first to (presumably) not be aimed at children. News of the adaptation came in 2019, and after several pushbacks and changes in creative direction, it finally has a release date: July 21, 2023. Those involved have kept a very tight lid on revealing much about the movie, but there are some things we know for a fact. From plot to cast and crew, here’s what to expect from Gerwig’s next project (it’s fantastic!...

BARCELONA (Reuters) - Barcelona have announced they will open up a memorial space at the Nou Camp stadium on Friday for supporters to pay their respects to former club president Agusti Montal, who died on Wednesday aged 82. Montal, Barca president between 1969 and 1977, has been praised since his passing for signing Johan Cruyff from Ajax and re-establishing the club’s Catalan identity during and after the dictatorship of Francisco Franco....

Goal understands that Seri and Nice have an agreement in place for the Ivorian to be sold if any club makes a bid of €40m. Deportivo 17/2 to beat Real Madrid Barcelona have now made the 26-year-old their main target, as they believe they can sign the midfielder if they activate the valuation clause agreed between Seri and Nice. The Catalans have yet to make a formal approach, however. “Nobody from Barcelona has contacted Nice to discuss Seri’s future,” Nice president Jean-Pierre Rivere told Cadena SER on Saturday....

The Ballon d’Or has been dominated by Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo in the recent past In the last 12 editions, Lionel Messi has won the award six times while Cristiano Ronaldo has won it five times. Luka Modric is the only player to have broken their duopoly. He won the award in 2018. But unlike in recent years, there have been several strong contenders for the Ballon d’Or this time around....

According to a group known as vx-underground, which monitors malware source code online, Bandai Namco is the latest large gaming company to be targeted by a ransomware attack. According to vx-underground, a ransomware group known as ALPHV or BlackCat has claimed responsibility for an attack on Bandai Namco, adding the publisher to its list of victims. BlackCat claimed in the past that it was ramping up its attacks, and if its demands for millions of dollars from companies aren’t met, it has been known to release employee data....

You know George Gilder. He’s the author of the 1981 book “Wealth and Poverty,” a seminal document of the supply-side movement that gave us Reaganomics. His “Life After Television” (1994), which seemed to liken TV networks to the Kremlin, was by extension a prediction of the death of all old media. He is a peripatetic speaker at business retreats, and a contributor to Forbes. More preacher than pundit, he infuses everything he says with an almost religious zeal....

Upshaw has begun the vetting process to hire an agent, per the report, but he cannot play in the D-League until the NCAA or university decalres him ineligible. The D-League has not yet determined Upshaw’s status on that front, sources told Yahoo. Washington dismissed the junior big man from the program Monday for a violation of team rules. Upshaw, 21, who transferred to UW from Fresno State last year, has failed multiple drug tests while playing at both schools, according to an ESPN report....

The banks keep it simple by not offering too many funds. Their “approved” lists pick from a few well-known groups like Putnam, Franklin and Alliance. They may add their own private-label funds, managed in-house or by an outside investment adviser. Wells Fargo, based in San Francisco, sells its own Stagecoach funds almost exclusively. In a new development, banks are starting to acquire whole mutual-fund companies. Charlotte, N.C.-based First Union is going to swallow the Evergreen funds; in December, Pittsburgh’s Mellon Bank announced it would buy the Dreyfus group....

While former Barca bosses such as Pep Guardiola had huge personalities that came to dominate Camp Nou, Valverde is completely the opposite. Saying little of interest to the media indicates Valverde likes to keep his cards close to his chest, but there is no doubt he has done a fine job since joining from Athletic Bilbao. Barca may take winning trophies for granted nowadays but, with Valverde’s men through to a Copa del Rey final against Valencia, back-to-back doubles is a serious possibility....
