The change of coach did not have the desired effect for HC Ajoie. The Jura team was beaten 5-3 on Tuesday night on Kloten ice in the National Ice Hockey League. The return of Julien Vauclair to the gang – who replaced the recently sacked Filip Pesan – therefore ended in defeat. Ajoie can feed regrets. Manhandled in the 1st period, he raised his head followingwards and almost equalized at the end of the game. It was finally in the empty cage that the Zurichers, under pressure, were able to seal the outcome of the meeting. In the standings, the HCA is still last, having just conceded a 14th defeat in a row! Development follows. /ml
Catherine Zeta-Jones’ biggest regret is never having been able to play a
Female James Bond.
The 53-year-old Oscar winner says former 007 star Sean Connery backed her to replace him as the spy following they grew close on the set of the 1999 film “Entrapment”.
She told The Sun on Sunday (18.12.22): “I would have loved
play Bond. I had a wonderful relationship with Sean Connery.
we did a movie called ‘Entrapment’ years ago – and he was like my older brother, my father, my support.
“I really loved him. I’m a Bond fanatic and he once said to me, ‘You would have made a great Bond girl. You would have made a great James Bond girl.’ I asked, “A Bond girl or a Bond?
“He said, ‘Bond – girl’. I said, ‘Oh my god, I wish I had played Bond! But I think that time is over.”
Despite recent demands for the first Bond woman, film franchise producer Barbara Broccoli, 62, has insisted the role will remain played by a man.
Catherine, who shares son Dylan, 22, and daughter Carys, 19, with her
Husband of 22 years, Michael Douglas, 78, is currently on screens as Morticia in the new Netflix series “Wednesday,” a reboot of “The Addams Family.”
The series focuses on the teenage problems of Wednesday, the only child of Morticia and her husband.
Filmed by Batman director Tim Burton, the actress said she was joining the cast, which stars Jenna Ortega in the title role: “It was a real treat because it’s such an iconic show. and characters like Fetid and
Morticia are indelible, they are in our subconscious.
“It’s more than pop culture, really. My niece knows the Addams Family.
and my grandmother, God bless her, loved “The Addams Family.”
“You add the brilliant mind of Tim Burton and a fantastic cast.
and I’m glad it’s going so well.”

Did we go for a race for two? Are you more like Paolo or Ben? Who else to join the discussion? What regarding Keegan Murray (Kings), Jabari Smith (Rockets) and Jaden Ivey (Pistons)? These are all questions that we will try to answer in the Aperitif of the day.
You know the song: we settle in cushy, we take something to nibble on, we balance our commentary because all opinions count. For the rest, we take care of everything.

Microsoft recently filed a patent for a system that will automatically apply certain enhancements to older games when played over the cloud. The proposed enhancements are not detailed, but in essence it looks like a move to make it easier to keep older games while reducing the demand for remakes and remasters. Microsoft has been putting a lot of emphasis on saving games over the past few years, and implementing a system that might theoretically help automate that process seems like a great way to support that goal.
Of the three heavyweight home consoles of the modern era, Microsoft’s Xbox has the least amount of history to preserve. Released in late 2001 in North America, the Xbox line of consoles came a generation following the debut of Sony’s PlayStation and regarding a decade and a half following Nintendo’s. However, Microsoft can claim a place in the gaming PC space that few can compete with; Released in 1979, Microsoft Adventure was one of the very first PC games, and many would like to see the company’s long history in PC gaming remain playable.
The Microsoft patent describes a cloud streaming service that interacts with the game in real time and provides improvements on the fly. First of all, this is likely to help improve performance, as older games, especially older PC games, tend to run poorly on modern hardware. As a result, it’s often die-hard fans who release patches to fix unplayable games, but Microsoft’s new technology might eliminate that need.
The Xbox brand has a remarkable track record when it comes to saving games; The Xbox 360, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X have the ability to play older Xbox games both physically and digitally, albeit with some caveats. In 2017, Xbox head Phil Spencer likened system backwards compatibility options to preserving art, and Microsoft’s gaming division seems to be following that mentality.
Unfortunately, other major publishers don’t hold the same values. Nintendo has become infamous for ditching outdated online services, stores, and digital-only games. The Nintendo Wii eShop was closed back in 2019, while the Wii U and Nintendo 3DS eShops are scheduled to close in early 2023. Needless to say, this is unfortunate, and while a new Microsoft patent may make conservation easier, it will be a long time before video game conservation is taken as seriously as other art forms.
