I Don't Mean To Be Dramatic, But These 38 Items Are *Absolutely* Essential To Your WFH Space
The noise-canceling is 95%, so reviewers say if you're looking for 100% cancellation, you might want to splurge on the name brand. So, instead of (or before) committing to the $500 version, I thought trying these for a test run would be good. Not only this, but I’ve been fascinated by the longevity of the battery life. I’ve used these headphones for about 4-5 hours consecutively over a matter of days and still have over 50% battery life. These are, by far, the best headphones I’ve had, and would recommend to everyone."

Blitzboks finish sixth in Grand Final tournament in Spain
The Blitzboks finished the HSBC Sevens Madrid Grand Final tournament in sixth position after they beat Australia in their first game on Sunday, but then came unstuck against Ireland. After losing their three pool matches against Ireland, New Zealand and Fiji the Blitzboks delivered their best performance of the weekend in the fifth-place semifinal against Australia on Sunday morning, winning 24-21. However, they could not replicate that in the fifth-place playoff against the Irish, who won a close contest 12-7. The Blitzboks showed great resilience against Australia to clinch their only victory of the weekend. Ben Dowling's try put Australia back in the lead, but then Quewin Nortje underlined his promise with a superb solo try as he hacked the ball ahead and outpaced the defence to score under the sticks.

Inside Nvidia, the tech titan whose shares have soared 3,000% in five years. So can it still make YOU money?
Since going public on the eve of the Millennium, computer chip designer Nvidia has come from nowhere to the cusp of becoming the world's biggest company. In February, Nvidia became the fastest company ever to go from a $1 trillion to a $2 trillion stock market valuation. Nvidia's chips originally set out to improve the computer graphics used by video gamers. Cuda's creation in 2006 allowed other, all-purpose applications to run on Nvidia's chips too. This near-monopoly has turned Nvidia into a massive money-making machine, fuelling potentially huge future share price rises.

Fine Gael tops poll in all three European constituencies as Independents also firmly in hunt

Rebel Wilson says idea only gay actors can play gay roles is ‘total nonsense’
Rebel Wilson says idea only gay actors can play gay roles is ‘total nonsense’By Hannah Roberts, PA Entertainment ReporterAustralian actress Rebel Wilson has said the idea that “only straight actors can play straight roles and gay actors can play gay roles” is “total nonsense”. “I’ve definitely said a lot of edgy jokes, and said them sometimes in very public places like the Baftas”, she said. Rebel Wilson attends the UK premiere of The Almond and the Seahorse. It’s going into this territory of like saying, ‘Well, only straight actors can play straight roles, and gay actors can play gay roles’, which I think is total nonsense. The full interview with Wilson will broadcast on BBC Radio 4 on Sunday at 10am and will also be available on BBC Sounds.
