The Major General John SedgwickHouse is located in Cornwall Hollow, Connecticut, and stands out as one of the finest residences in this part of the state in a rural setting. The house was built by 1860 for General John Sedgwick (1813-1864), who was born in a house standing on this site, which had been built by his grandfather, a veteran of the Revolutionary War. In 1859, the Sedgwick family homestead burned to the ground. Sedgwick, then already well established in his military career, took leave to oversee construction of its replacement. This house was built, apparently on the foundation of the old house, in 185960. The work was done by Cyrus Marsh, a local builder, in the Italianate style with decorative brackets, window mouldings, hoods, and a large columned entry portico. Major General Sedgwick was active in many campaigns, and during theAmerican Civil War, he was killed by a sharpshooter at the 1864Battle of Spotsylvania Court House, he was the Union Armys highest-ranking casualty of the war and never got to reside in his Cornwall home.

WASHINGTON, DC - DECEMBER 05: Gervonta Davis reacts during a press conference with Lamont Roach Jr. ... [+] at Burr Gymnasium on the campus of Howard University on December 05, 2024 in Washington, DC. (Photo by Timothy Nwachukwu/Getty Images)Getty ImagesGervonta Davis and Turki Alalshikh probably wont be working together anytime soon. The reigning WBA lightweight champion was seemingly upset he wasnt invited to the Ring Magazine awards, where most of the top stars and legends in the sport convened to recognize the best in the business in 2024.The event was held at The Old Royal Naval College in London, and the guest list read like a whos who of the sport: Oleksandr Usyk, Canelo Alvarez, Ryan Garcia, Devin Haney, Shakur Stevenson, Lennox Lewis, and dozens of others.The Ring Magazine, which is now owned by Alalshikh, posted this iconic image on their social media accounts.Davis took the same image from Matchroom Boxings Instagram account and added a caption profanely slamming Alalshikh and everyone in attendance.Why they didnt invite everybody, Davis asked in his post. But they invited people they deal w...f### outta here. stop d### eating. Look at the little rat thinking he came up on something (Eddie). Now tell them all fight each other..since they have a heavy roster.Read More: UFC 311 Fight Canceled, Once-Hyped-Contender Earning Bust LabelDavis continued his rant in another post.They wanna act like this guy good for boxing when he not good at s###, Davis exclaimed. If so why he not building the people where he from? This GUY KNOWS S### ABOUT BOXING AT ALL AND THIS WHO THEY TURING TO..ALL D### EATERS.Lastly, he blasted fighters who have gone to Saudi Arabia to collect the massive paydays associated with Alalshikhs Riyadh Season cards.Lol, they have to go over there to make money and still do, Davis said. I sell where Im from B####, AMERICA.They be going over there getting their ass kicked fighting in front of a total of 19 people..but becuz they rich its cool.Quite honestly, this approach doesnt look good on Davis. I fully support him sticking to his guns. If he elects not to head over to Saudi Arabia to fight, thats his prerogative.However, slamming other fighters as they celebrate and endure the challenges of networking and making business moves looks more like jealousy than genuine concern for the state of the sport. Davis is scheduled to face Lamont Roach Jr. at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn on March 1.Roach is a competitor and a good athlete, but few give him a chance against Davis. Because of the way the fight looks on paper, Davis has been criticized for his choice of opposition.That criticism, along with other struggles, has seemingly influenced Davis to be in a surly and unpredictable mood over the past two months. Davis seemed frustrated and easily triggered at a recent press event where he also mentioned he planned to retire at the end of 2025.WASHINGTON, DC - DECEMBER 05: Gervonta Davis reacts during a press conference with Lamont Roach Jr. ... [+] at Burr Gymnasium on the campus of Howard University on December 05, 2024 in Washington, DC. (Photo by Timothy Nwachukwu/Getty Images)Getty ImagesIn the last week of 2024, Davis took to Instagram to announce the fight with Roach was canceled, only for that notion to be dismissed by promoters and the network brand, Premier Boxing Champions.At some point, perhaps Davis will come around as it pertains to Alalshikh, but maybe he wont. In any case, hes still one of the best lightweights of his era, and with a few more quality wins added to his resume, he could still reach all-time great status, whether in or outside of Saudi Arabia.

Ukraine has been releasing excerpts of what its forces say is a North Korean soldier's diary.They include a stick-figure sketch of using a comrade as "bait" to shoot down a drone.Other entries include musings on class struggles and a confession for stealing undisclosed Russian items.Excerpts from a North Korean soldier's diary released by Ukraine show a glimpse at how Pyongyang's troops in Russia believed they could defend against drones and artillery strikes.Ukraine's special forces have been releasing excerpts of the diary since Christmas week, saying the entries were written by a now-deceased North Korean private named Gyeong Hong Jong.The latest of these, published on Thursday, appeared to feature the young soldier confessing that he was stealing items from his Russian allies to sell. He did not specify what the stolen goods were but wrote that he had been caught."While working in the barracks, I thought that no one was watching me and put the Russians' things in my pocket," the diary excerpt said, per Ukraine's special forces."I will no longer trade in other people's things. I will heroically advance in the forefront and destroy the enemy," the soldier added.Other entries released by Ukraine included praises of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and musings on class struggle."Longing for my homeland, having left the warm embrace of my dear father and mother here on Russian land. I celebrate the birthday of my closest comrade Song Ji Myong," another entry read, per a translation by The Wall Street Journal.One of the earliest entries, published by Ukraine on December 26, featured a stick-figure drawing of what the soldier described as "How to eliminate a drone."The simple illustration showed a figure standing upright on open ground while another two stick figures fired at a quadcopter drone."If a UAV is spotted, gather in groups of three," the diary read, per The Journal's translation. "One person must act as bait to lure the drone while the other two take aim and neutralize it with precision shooting. The bait must maintain a distance of seven meters from the drone. The other two should prepare to shoot down the drone from a distance of 10 to 12 meters. When the bait stands still, the drone will stop and it can be shot down."Ukraine's special forces said the North Korean soldier also wrote of how to avoid artillery strikes. An excerpt of his diary said that Pyongyang's troops were supposed to "disperse in small groups" if fired upon by artillery.The excerpt also said he could hide in the location of "the previous hit" because he believed artillery doesn't repeatedly strike the exact same spot.Business Insider couldn't independently verify the authenticity of the diary entries. Ukraine posted photos of what it said were the soldier's corpse and passport. The Journal also cited a former North Korean soldier and a former South Korean major general who said the choice of words in the diary aligned with the ideology and vernacular of North Korea's troops.The soldier's diary could give insight into how North Korean forces are adapting battlefield doctrine for combat in Russia.The West worries that Pyongyang's involvement will allow its forces to glean valuable lessons from battling Ukraine, especially as they face off against American and European equipment and encounter drone warfare.Dorothy Camille Shea, the deputy US ambassador to the UN, said on Wednesday that Pyongyang "is significantly benefiting from receiving Russian military equipment, technology, and experience, rendering it more capable of waging war against its neighbors."Western and South Korean intelligence says that 12,000 North Korean troops are stationed and fighting in Kursk, a Russian border region that Ukraine attacked in the summer of 2024.Moscow hasn't addressed the presence of Pyongyang's troops on its soil, but Ukraine has increasingly been trying to cast a spotlight on North Korea's direct involvement in the war.Most recently, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy published images of who he said were two captured North Korean soldiers. He did not provide evidence that they were North Korean, though Seoul's intelligence service backed up his claim."This was not an easy task: Russian forces and other North Korean military personnel usually execute their wounded to erase any evidence of North Korea's involvement in the war against Ukraine," Zelenskyy wrote. He has said that around 3,000 North Korean soldiers were wounded or killed. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said on Saturday the country's military had captured two North Korean soldiers in Kursk. Anadolu via Getty Images Thousands of North Korean troops serve as a valuable source of manpower for Russia, which is relying on mass infantry assaults along the front lines to whittle down Ukraine's defenses.Still, Pyongyang's reinforcements are still few compared to the over 600,000 people that Ukraine and the West believe Moscow has lost.Russia is believed to be providing Kim with much-needed finances, economic support, food, and technology in exchange for the latter's troops.

Microsoft Outlook is an email platform with productivity features like calendar and file-sharing.Microsoft discontinued its old email platforms, MSN and Hotmail, and folded them into Outlook.Outlook is free for personal accounts, but paid subscriptions offer greater storage and security.In case you hadn't noticed, Microsoft has a released a lot of software over the past five decades. From its groundbreaking Windows operating system to its search engine Bing to stalwart programs like Word and Excel, now a part of the subscription-based Microsoft 365 suite, the company is a juggernaut of the software industry.And when a company has released a plethora of programs, it's no surprise that the company has cancelled, merged, or rebranded many programs, too.What is Microsoft Outlook?Microsoft Outlook is, first and foremost, an email platform, but it goes well beyond just sending and receiving electronic mail. It also features a calendar, an easy way to store and manage contact information, file sharing of data saved in the cloud, and schedule and task tracking.Microsoft Outlook is free to use for personal email and calendars, but there are some limitations. For example, a free Outlook account can only store up to 15 GB of mail, and that cap can be surprisingly easy to reach. Also, advanced security features are only available with a paid subscription.Using Outlook is a great way to streamline your work and home life, keeping yourself up-to-date and aware of appointments, assignments, travel, deadlines, and more. You can set it up such that flight or hotel reservations are automatically added to your calendar, so that it will remind you of scheduled events, and you can set it to flag important messages for you and to screen out the unimportant, too.What happened to Hotmail and MSN?Both Hotmail and MSN, also known as MSN Messenger, have been discontinued for a number of years, folded into other products. Chat messaging platform MSN was first released in 1999 and was rebranded as Windows Live Messenger in 2005.Though it was used by hundreds of millions of people each month, following the acquisition of Skype in 2011, Microsoft found its own messaging platform redundant. The company shut the messenger service once known as MSN down for good in 2013. MSN email addresses still work, but they are managed via OutlookInterestingly enough, the year 2013 also tolled the death knell for Hotmail. The mail platform was founded in 1996 and acquired by Microsoft the following year, and would enjoy nearly 17-year run until it was folded into Microsoft Outlook. You can still get an email address using @hotmail.com, but you'll need to sign up for it via Microsoft Outlook.Is Microsoft discontinuing Outlook?There are no plans for Microsoft to discontinue its Outlook platform. In fact, the company announced that as of the end of 2024, its Mail and Calendar applications would no longer be supported and that their functions would be rolled into Outlook, so Microsoft is putting even more of the proverbial eggs in the Outlook basket.Outlook vs. GmailFrom contact management to calendar services to, of course, email, Microsoft Outlook and the Google Workspace, which includes Gmail, Google Meet, Google Drive, and Google Docs, have a lot of crossovers.Google's professional suite is great for collaborative teams, offering more storage space and easy ways to connect, work on shared documents, and to swap files. Alternatively, people wanting advanced email features and numerous optional automations might prefer Outlook.Both are superb workflow suites; it's truly a personal call.

With more than half a decade having now passed since the release of Dynasty Warriors 9, to say that franchise fans are pretty excited about Dynasty Warriors: Origins would perhaps be a bit of an understatement. It's by far the best-looking Dynasty Warriors game to date, and, if the game's recently released demo is anything to go by, it looks set to be the series' most exciting installment as well.
