Eh La isn’t totally new, but it hasn’t been featured on either of Liam’s solo albums. The video – which is clearly not recent — is directed by Charlie Lightening and sees Liam perform the track while playing guitar.

Students at more than 25 U.S. universities are filing lawsuits against their schools demanding partial refunds on tuition and campus fees, claiming they are not receiving the “caliber of education they were promised.” Schools scrambled to create as the coronavirus forced campuses across the nation to close last month. The suits say students should pay lower rates for the portion of the term that was offered online, arguing that the quality of instruction is far below the classroom experience.
However students are learning from the same professors who teach on campus, officials have said, and they’re still earning credits toward their degrees. Schools insist that after being forced to close by their states, they’re still offering students a quality education. However in one example of the complaint being filed, one student’s lawsuit against the University of California, Berkeley, stated that some professors are simply uploading assignments, with no video instruction at all. A case against Vanderbilt University says class discussion has been stymied and the “quality and academic rigor of courses has significantly decreased.” And in a case against Purdue University, a senior engineering student said the closure has prevented him from finishing his senior project, building an airplane. “No online course can simulate the applicable, real-world experience” he hoped to gain from the project, the complaint says.
Class-action lawsuits demanding tuition refunds have been filed against at least 26 colleges, targeting prestigious private universities, including Brown, Columbia and Cornell, along with big public schools, including Michigan State, Purdue and the University of Colorado, Boulder. Along with tuition, the cases also seek refunds for fees that students paid to access gyms, libraries, labs and other buildings that are now closed. All told, the complaints seek refunds that could add up to several thousand dollars per student at some schools.

Uber is planning to require drivers and riders to wear face masks as it prepares to re-start business after being shut down due to the COVID-19 pandemic. A new policy by the company will require drivers and riders to wear face masks or coverings in some markets, including the U.S.
“As countries reopen, Uber is focused on safety and proceeding with caution,” an Uber spokesperson said in a emailed statement. “Today, we continue to ask riders to stay home if they can, while shipping safety supplies to drivers who are providing essential trips. At the same time, our teams are preparing for the next phase of recovery, where we will all have a role to play. We’ll communicate updates directly to users when ready, but in the meantime, we continue to urge all riders and drivers to wear masks or face coverings when using Uber.”
Uber has been encouraging riders to stay home through an in-app message and through marketing such as TV spots. The app is still available and people have used it to take trips to grocery stores, to essential jobs and pharmacies. Uber announced last month that it would buy and ship face masks to active drivers and delivery workers globally. Uber said it will make these supplies available to all active drivers as more become available. Uber’s goal is to be able to offer masks nationwide regardless of local regulations.

The Dolphins issued a statement saying that Shula died “peacefully at his home,” adding, “Don Shula was the patriarch of the Miami Dolphins for 50 years,” the statement said. “He brought the winning edge to our franchise and put the Dolphins and the city of Miami in the national sports scene. Our deepest thoughts and prayers go out to Mary Anne along with his children Dave, Donna, Sharon, Anne and Mike.”
Shula won an NFL-record 347 games, coaching the Dolphins to the league’s only undefeated season (17-0) in 1972 which culminated in a 14-7 victory over the Washington Redskins in Super Bowl VII. The Dolphins repeated as champions the following season beating the Minnesota Vikings 24-7 in Super Bowl VIII. In total, Shula guided the Dolphins to five Super Bowls, including losses to the Redskins (27-17 in Super Bowl XVII) and San Francisco 49ers (38-16 in Super Bowl XIX).
Shula was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1997. He, George Halas and Bill Belichick are the only coaches in NFL history to win more than 300 games.
