WASHINGTON (AP) — Democratic presidential candidates hoping to revive their flagging campaigns increasingly took aim at Mike Bloomberg, blasting their billionaire rival for trying to buy his way into the White House and raising questions about his commitment to racial equality.Struggling to recover from poor showings in the Iowa caucuses and the New Hampshire primary, Elizabeth Warren and Joe Biden took the lead in attacking Bloomberg. Biden, the former vice president, said on ABC's “The View” that “I don't think you can buy an election," while Warren took Bloomberg to task for his 2008 comments that ending redlining, a discriminatory housing practice, helped trigger the economic meltdown.

NEUFC vs ODS Dream11 Prediction : Odisha Vs NorthEast United Best Dream 11 Team for ISL 2019-20 Match

NEUFC Vs ODS Dream11 Team Probable Playing 11 And Match Report: Odisha look to make one last late surge to propel themselves towards the top 4.At a time when they should have clicked as a unit, Odisha have ended up floundering and crumbling under pressure. The club has gone onto record three defeats in succession, calamitous showings which have seen the gap between themselves and top 4 widen as the days pass by.However, with fourth placed Mumbai City losing their previous fixture, Odisha were given one last glimmer to make it to the top 4. However, they’ll be well aware that need to overhaul their underachieving form immediately and win the remained of their two encounters if they are to keep their bid alive of reserving a spot in the coveted spots. “These are two important games. We have approached this season game by game. If mathematics says it is possible we are going to fight for it. We need to be concentrated. We have been training very well. It is a must-win game. If we win tomorrow, we will approach the…

VNO vs HRA Dream11 Prediction : Venlo Vs Heracles Best Dream 11 Team for Eredivisie 2019-20 Match

VNO Vs HRA Dream11, Probable Playing 11 And Match Report: Relegation zone slumped Venlo make for a dicey proposition for a tottering Heracles outfit.  Despite Venlo scrapping their way in a relegation battle at the moment, they’ll be hardly deterred when they come across Heracles today. Despite the 7 spots separating these two sides with Heracles way above Venlo in ninth place, Heracles are languishing at the moment, a plight Venlo will be looking to capitalise on.Whilst Heracles did manage to stall their three match losing spree the last time around with a 2-0 win, they are yet to wrench free of the impasse they find themselves shrouded in. It’s been a howler of a last month for them with shoddy displays seeing them slip lower down the points tally with each passing gameweek, a set of events which will buoy Venlo. And while Venlo are sitting in the last relegation spot, the club has managed to overhaul its underachieving from off late. Still far from doling out ideal result, they have gone four matches without…

IND vs NZ | Prepared to bat anywhere, reveals Hanuma Vihari

Hanuma Vihari on Friday revealed that he is well-prepared to bat anywhere in the pecking order against New Zealand in the First Test of the two-Test series. The right-hander also revealed that the conditions in the New Zealand A game were surprising as there was extra bounce in the wicket.

No one has asked me but ready to open if needed: Hanuma Vihari

Coming in at no.6, Hanuma Vihari scored a hundred but Mayank Agarwal, Prithvi Shaw and Shubman Gill were dismissed early, undone by the extra bounce and seam movement during the match against New Zealand XI.

If needed, ready to take up opener’s role, says Hanuma Vihari

The performance of Mayank Agarwal, Prithvi Shaw and Shubman Gill raised doubts about their ability to face the likes of Wagner, Boult and Henry.

This AI Travis Scott Is A Pretty Good Rapper And Obsessed With Food

Remember when Grimes said that "live music is going to be obsolete soon" because of AI art? Well, it looks like Travis Scott will be the first casualty of the robot wars, as digital agency Space150 has already created a fake Travis Scott song using artificial intelligence that they're calling, yes, Travis Bott. Adweek reports that Travis Bott's sure-to-be-a-hit debut single, "Jack Park Canny Dope Man," was generated entirely by a machine learning model trained on Travis Scott's music. Space150 fed Travis Scott lyrics into a text generator model for two weeks to make the verses, and additional neural network programs were used to produce the beat. "We were sort of fascinated with like, 'What if we tried to make a song — like an actual good song — by using AI and basically creative directing AI?'” explains Ned Lampert, executive creative director at Space150. “And so we chose Travis Scott just because he is just such a unique artist and he has a unique sound and everything sort of has

Universal Confirms That Nirvana, Beck, Soundgarden, Slayer, More Masters Were Damaged Or Destroyed In 2008 Fire

Last year, in a massive feature, the New York Times reported on a musical-history loss that had been kept largely secret. In 2008, a fire at the Universal Studios Florida lot raged through and devastated a warehouse where Universal Music Group had been keeping decades' worth of master recordings. Many thousands of those masters — irreplaceable high-quality original recordings of songs, both iconic and forgotten — were reportedly destroyed. Universal kept this quiet for more than a decade, never alerting the artists, who, at least in some cases, were the legal owners of those masters. And now Universal has been forced to admit to some of the damage done in that fire. According to Rolling Stone, Universal has filed documents admitting that master recordings from 19 artists were destroyed or damaged in the fire. This was part of the discovery process in a class-action lawsuit filed on behalf of many of the musicians whose music was reportedly lost. The list includes some truly important

Boys Noize – “Girl Crush” (Feat. Rico Nasty)

Are we about due for a blog-house revival? It wouldn't be the worst thing in the world, would it? Alexander Ridha, the German DJ and producer who records as Boys Noize, came up in the that whole mid-'00s wave, and he's been working steadily ever since. He's also become a prolific collaborator — working with Frank Ocean on "DHL" and with Skrillex and Ty Dolla $ign on "Midnight Hour." Today, Boys Noize has a new single out, a collaboration with the festival-wrecking rap energy-bomb Rico Nasty. The combination makes sense, Rico Nasty's single greatest collaborator is Kenny Beats, a veteran of the EDM universe, and Boys Noize records often have the kind of trashy energy that she can project. But "Girl Crush," the new Boys Noize/Rico collab, isn't really a Rico Nasty song. She doesn't rap in it. Instead, she purrs about a girl she likes over a pulsing electro beat. It's not doing a lot for me right now, but I could imagine it going off late at night in a room where everybody is on cocaine.

Polo G – “Go Stupid” (Feat. Stunna 4 Vegas & NLE Choppa)

The young Chicago rapper Polo G has a rare gift for bluesy, melodic, mournful takes on his hometown's drill sound. Last year's Die A Legend, my favorite rap album of 2019, was a heavy piece of work that burst with thought and feeling. And yet Polo G can also flat-out rap when he feels like it, and that's what he does on his new single "Go Stupid." He has company. "Go Stupid" is a summit meeting between three extremely hungry rappers who all had breakout years in 2019. On "Go Stupid," Polo G teams up with Stunna 4 Vegas, the frequent DaBaby collaborator from North Carolina, and the young Memphis insurgent NLE Choppa. All of them are young — Polo is 21, Stunna is 24, and Choppa is 17. And on "Go Stupid," all of them have energy. The song, which has no chorus, is just all three rappers ripping up a Mike Will Made-It/Tay Keith beat. It's fun as hell. In director Michael Garcia's "Go Stupid" video, all three rappers incite an unruly day at a high-school. It's the sort of cheesy, ridiculous
