Our Top 10 Ambrosia Songs list is a tribute to the spectacular music of the great band Ambrosia. The band was defined as a group of musicians who all played their instruments well while writing great songs that crossed the genres of progressive rock‚ soul‚ and pop music. The band had a knack for writing outstanding‚ slick pop songs that captured a large audience. It’s difficult to describe their sound‚ but they sort of fell somewhere between Steely Dan‚ The Beatles‚ Toto‚ ELP and Boz Scaggs with progressive overtones. Regardless of categorization‚ they were simply a great band.

We already knew Oscar nominee Dev Patel (The Green Knight) was wildly talented. We did not previously know that those talents extended to directing a new action movie that‚ if the trailer is anything to go by‚ can stand up to just about anything in the action landscape. Patel plays an anonymous young man who scrapes out a living while seeking to avenge his mother’s murder. That makes it sound fairly mild‚ but this trailer is anything but! Patel uses his fists‚ sure‚ but also a microwave oven and a fish tank (sorry‚ fish) to take out his enemies. He also has a truly delightful moment with a window that’s much stronger than most action-movie windows. Here’s the synopsis: Inspired by the legend of Hanuman‚ an icon embodying strength and courage‚ Monkey Man stars Patel as Kid‚ an anonymous young man who ekes out a meager living in an underground fight club where‚ night after night‚ wearing a gorilla mask‚ he is beaten bloody by more popular fighters for cash. After years of suppressed rage‚ Kid discovers a way to infiltrate the enclave of the city’s sinister elite. As his childhood trauma boils over‚ his mysteriously scarred hands unleash an explosive campaign of retribution to settle the score with the men who took everything from him. Patel is star and director and co-writer; he has story credit‚ and wrote the screenplay with John Collee (Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World) and Paul Angunawela. The cast includes Sharlto Copley (District 9)‚ Sobhita Dhulipala (The Night Manager)‚ Pitobash (Million Dollar Arm)‚ Vipin Sharma (Hotel Mumbai)‚ Adithi Kalkunte (Hotel Mumbai)‚ and Sikandar Kher (Sense8). Monkey Man was set for a Netflix release‚ but fate—in the form of producer Jordan Peele—intervened. The Hollywood Reporter says‚ “Insiders say Peele had a chance to see the movie‚ and was so taken with Patel’s vision that he believed it deserved a theatrical release. Universal will market and distribute Monkey Man through its feature film deal with Peele’s Monkeypaw banner. The film has been described as akin to John Wick in Mumbai.” Monkey Man is in theaters on April 5th.

Tekken 8 rewards relentless aggression with its Heat mechanic and freeform combos. Good players know how to exploit their opponent’s openings and whiffs but also how to defend themselves. If you’re struggling with the latter‚ let me explain how to block and low parry in Tekken 8. How to block in Tekken 8 Screenshot: PC Invasion Blocking is simple enough on paper‚ but like everything in Tekken 8‚ it’s laced with nuance and complexity. To block high and mid attacks‚ hold back on the movement stick or D-Pad. To block low attacks‚ you must hold down and back simultaneously.  Most high attacks will miss you completely when you block low‚ but there’s still a huge risk. Mid attacks will hit you when you crouch‚ which is a big problem because most launchers are mid. Many players try to harass their opponents with low attacks to force them to crouch and blow them up with massive combos. In Tekken‚ you...

Palworld allows you to assign some of its Pals to a Ranch to produce or find certain items for you. This can be extremely lucrative and can save you tons of time. However‚ you’ll need to be wary of the maximum limit for Pals in a Ranch. Ranch Pal Limit in Palworld The Ranch is incredibly useful for automation and resource gathering‚ but unfortunately‚ you can’t have a Ranch full of ten Chikipis for infinite Eggs. The maximum number of Pals that can be producing in a Ranch at any time is four. If you try to force-assign another Pal into the Ranch when there are four grazing already‚ then another Pal will simply stop grazing and will go idle‚ or find another job to do. Even if it appears that there are five or more Pals in your Ranch‚ not all of them will be producing. They may just be chilling. You can check who’s producing as they’ll have “Grazing” above their heads when you’re close to them. Screenshot: PC...

A major United Nations agency responsible for humanitarian services for Palestinians fired several staff members for reportedly participating in Hamas’ terrorist attacks Oct. 7 in Israel. The U.N. Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East fired the employees for their alleged involvement in Hamas’ slaughter in southern Israel that left 1‚200 civilians dead and over 250 taken hostage‚ the agency announced Friday. UNRWA staff previously had been criticized for allegedly promoting antisemitism among the Palestinian population and diverting aid to Hamas‚ according to the Foundation for Defense of Democracies. “The United States is extremely troubled by the allegations that 12 UNRWA employees may have been involved in the Oct. 7 Hamas terrorist attack on Israel‚” the U.S. State Department said in a formal statement Friday. “The Israeli Authorities have provided UNRWA with information about the alleged involvement of several UNRWA employees in the horrific attacks on Israel on 7 October‚” UNRWA Commissioner-General Philippe Lazzarini said earlier Friday. “To protect the agency’s ability to deliver humanitarian assistance‚ I have taken the decision to immediately terminate the contracts of these staff members and launch an investigation in order to establish the truth without delay.” “Any UNRWA employee who was involved in acts of terror will be held accountable‚ including through criminal prosecution‚” Lazzarini said. “These shocking allegations come as more than 2 million people in Gaza depend on lifesaving assistance that the agency has been providing since the war began.” [Hamas‚ which the State Department designates as a terrorist organization‚ is the elected government of the Gaza Strip and is targeted there for eradication by Israel.] The U.N. Relief and Works Agency noted that it continues to condemn Hamas’ Oct. 7 attacks in Israel. However‚ UNRWA does not share the opinion of the international community that Hamas is a terrorist organization‚ according to the Foundation for Defense of Democracies. UNRWA has worked with and employed members of Hamas before‚ according to the Meir Amit Intelligence and Terrorism Information Center. Some held senior positions in the U.N. agency. U.S. intelligence has warned that humanitarian aid delivered to the Palestinian people through UNRWA has a high risk of being diverted to Hamas‚ as noted Jan. 17 by the House Foreign Affairs Committee. The Biden administration signed off in October on $100 million in aid to Gaza‚ despite the well-documented risks. The State Department announced Friday that it had “paused additional funding for UNRWA” while an investigation is pending. Officials have “temporarily paused additional funding for UNRWA while we review these allegations and the steps the United Nations is taking to address them‚” the State Department said. UNRWA did not immediately respond to a request for comment. This report originally was published by the Daily Caller News Foundation Have an opinion about this article?
