WorkCanva releases AI tools to automate boring design tasks   In response to this worry, Adams said these tools will let workers explore. He explains it like this: With these tools, you can try out different ways of saying the same thing and perfect that sentence or that paragraph, or you can find the right image that you need for your presentation rather than just the one that you can drag out of a digital library. “So instead of just going with one idea, workers can try out more ideas and arrive at the right solution rather than the most convenient solution,” he said.

WorkWorkGio Reyna's USMNT return raises questions for Gregg Berhalter -- on and off the field  During the Nations League, Callaghan noted that Reyna\'s ability to defend is an area where the U.S. coaching staff have asked for improvement, and the 20-year-old responded well to that challenge. If that continues to be the case, the benefits of playing Reyna centrally seem to outweigh his defensive shortcomings, especially if he has two out of Musah, McKennie and (hopefully) Adams playing behind him. It seems the time has arrived to gather more data about Reyna\'s ability to operate in that midfield role.

WorkWorkWorkTaki Theodoracopulos given 12-month suspended sentence for attempted rape  The next morning, she told one of the women on the trip that Theodoracopulos had come into her room. The victim recalled: “[She] said to me: ‘Did you get the letter? They always get the letter.’… So I went back to the bedroom and it was lying on the floor as though it had been pushed under the door.” She said she found a letter written by Theodoracopulos which referred to the fact that she had rejected him.In his evidence, Theodoracopulos said the woman made the claims in response to an article he had written at the beginning of the #MeToo movement.Wearing a dark grey suit and blue shirt, the grey-haired and bespectacled writer said: “The plaintiff obviously openly admitted in the original accusation of me that she remembered all this stuff that never happened when she read something I’d written making fun of #MeToo. [She] said her memory was triggered – a rather well used phrase.”He added: “I’m outraged at these monstrous accusations.”Before the judge adjourned to consider his verdict, Theodoracopulos was asked if he had any final words. He said: “I find it extraordinary. I have nothing against the accuser apart from what she has done now. Out of the blue two years ago she accused me of something that is totally made up, totally made up …“It’s a great travesty of justice and I shouldn’t be here.

What you need to know about the eight remaining MLB playoff teams  What they do that could take down the Braves: Run, run, run. Despite the uptick in stolen bases this season, this still isn\'t baseball, circa 1985. To run on offense, the hitters have to get on base and get the ball in play. If that happens, the Diamondback rolled up 161 stolen bases and did so with a MLB-best 87% success rate. They can drive Sean Murphy and his pitchers crazy. But that\'s not the only kind of running we\'re talking about. Arizona\'s athleticism also paid off on defense as Torey Lovullo\'s fielders as a unit was arguably the best in the majors. Like Toronto, if Arizona\'s pitchers can keep the Braves\' power bats in the ballpark (easier said than done), Carroll & Co. can impact games by running down balls in the gap -- Doolittle WorkWorkWeek 6 preview: Unlikely unbeatens, marquee QB battles and quotes of the week  \"A dear friend called me and summoned me to get him on the phone to FaceTime.

United are now in a situation where they need to turn to an old football cliche and take things game by game. In that sense, they have a nice fixture list. Back-to-back matches against Copenhagen, who have proven tough opponents against Galatasaray and Bayern, give them a chance to revive their European hopes. Winning those fixtures would set up a huge game in Turkey against Galatasaray. Beyond that, they need to get players back in their natural positions (which is not easy with their list of absentees, but Amrabat into midfield would be a start) and build around their best players, who at the moment are Bruno and Hojlund. The latter\'s goal-scoring ability could help lift the mood around the team, but it looks bleak at the moment. -- Marsden WorkUSC at Michigan? Ohio State at Oregon?
