Bengaluru FC sign yet another Spaniard The 28-year-old plied his trade for ATK in the previous two editions of the league and played a significant part as the team won the coveted title last season under the guidance of Jose Molina....
As per the ISL regulations, every team has the option to field a reserve team, which shall comprise of domestic players. These set of reserve players would be in addition to the first and the youth teams. Interestingly, the wages paid for the reserve team players wouldn’t be counted when the salary cap is taken into account. There was a proposal back in June that the reserve teams of ISL clubs be allowed to ply their trade in the I-League second division....
Both Khalid Jamil and Albert Roca fielded all Indian starting XIs with the overseas players coming into the action later in the match. Cavin Lobo found a spot in Jamil’s starting XI after a long time and Indian striker duo VP Suhair and Joby Justin started upfront. Interestingly, the match was divided into three halves each of 30 minutes. New recruit Charles D’Souza who joined the Red and Golds from Chennai City FC this season made his East Bengal coming on as a substitute in the latter stage....
Sergio Lobera started with three foreigners with Moroccan Ahmed Jahouh in the heart of the defence. Manuel Lanzarote and Bruno Pinheiro were the other two overseas players for the ISL side. Brandon Fernandes was mostly deployed on the left with Mandar Rao Dessai playing more towards the right side. Narayan Das, back with his former side, ran down the left flank with Manvir Singh up front. As many as five foreigners started for East Bengal....
While Mrs. Rosen was being interviewed during the Rangers-Islanders game on Monday, she let it slip that her son had been a fan since Day 1. No, literally. MORE: Getzlaf calls out Ovechkin | Marc Methot signs extension with Sens | Chris Neil breaks thumb during fight “Back in 1982, my son was conceived back in that parking lot,” said Rosen. Now, it’s not hard to understand why New York inspired so much fervor amongst their fans....
Foods rich in isoflavones may offer other health benefits in that they are both anti-inflammatory and antioxidant (meaning they prevent damage to a cell’s DNA). Some studies have even suggested that isoflavones may help prevent heart disease or have cancer-fighting properties. Even so, the evidence supporting these health claims is generally weak. This article describes the potential benefits of isoflavones, including what they do and how they work. It also lists some of the foods high in isoflavones along with the possible risks, side effects, and interactions....
Contrary to much of the media coverage surrounding the incident, Fakhrizadeh was far more than just a preeminent nuclear specialist. He was also the architect of Iran’s nuclear weapons program, and a pioneer of the Islamic Republic’s effort to clandestinely acquire an offensive-oriented atomic arsenal. And while its policymakers have remained understandably mum on the subject, intelligence officials strongly believe that Israel was behind the killing as part of a new push by Jerusalem to derail Iran’s nuclear program....
This is bad news for U.S. President Donald Trump, who has worked hard to build a partnership with Netanyahu, upon which the prime minister ran his reelection campaign. Posters of Trump and Netanyahu together hang in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem, and ahead of the election Trump officially recognized the Golan Heights as Israel’s, which was marked by a celebration at the White House. Just days before the election, Trump tweeted that he was working on a new mutual defense bill with Israel....
Sagawa, who became known as the “Kobe Cannibal,” raped, killed and ate Renee Hartevelt in 1981, but he was never jailed for his crimes. He died of pneumonia on November 24 and his funeral was attended only by relatives, according to a Japan Today report. In 1981, Sagawa was studying in Paris when he invited Hartevelt to his home. When she came over, he shot her in the neck, raped her and consumed parts of her body over the next few days....
A thyroid nodule is a lump found in or on the thyroid. Nodules are found in roughly 6% of women and 1%–2% of men. When a nodule is discovered in the thyroid, healthcare providers must consider the possibility of cancer (malignancy). In 95% of cases, thyroid nodules are found to be benign (noncancerous). What Is the Thyroid Isthmus? The thyroid is located at the front of the lower part of the neck....
My latest professional challenge has been to put together a shrine representing the human senses. I went conservative on four of the five: a mirror for sight, saffron water for smell, a seashell for hearing and a piece of red satin for touch. For taste, I strove for something more imaginative–and lascivious–than a nutritious apple or vitamin-filled squash. So I filled a glass bowl with a generous helping of Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups....
Liverpool ran out 3-0 winners at Anfield in the quarter-final first leg, leaving Pep Guardiola’s City staring at an exit despite previously being considered favourites to lift the trophy by many. A long evening for City started before the match, however, as their bus was greeted by swathes of Liverpool supporters who ensured a partisan welcome for the runaway Premier League leaders. Some fans pelted the bus with objects and caused significant damage to it and on Thursday, UEFA announced Liverpool had been charged over the incident ....
Consider the front runner for the presidency, Kim Dae Jung. A onetime dissident, Kim is a populist who promises to block layoffs at Korea’s overly indebted chaebol (though the International Monetary Fund is demanding them). Last week he tested the patience of the few remaining optimists by holding a video conference with, of all people, Michael Jackson. Yes, that Michael Jackson. Kim, awkwardly trying to cozy up to foreign investors and appease the IMF, convened a panel that would have looked at home on “Politically Incorrect....
Sayonara, Super Mario. Goodnight, Power Rangers. Pokemon (pronounced POH-kay-mahn) is the newest game-and-video merchandising tsunami from Japan. Over there, in just four years, the Nintendo-owned creation has generated $4.5 billion in revenue–the TV show, video games, comic books, feature films, the sides of JAL planes, talking watches, fine cutlery! There are entire stores devoted to Pokemon. If Godzilla had a better agent, he’d have a cameo. Pokemon was introduced in the United States last fall and has become a phenomenon among boys between 6 and 14, and the parents who bankroll them....
The nonfatal shooting was “an example of PATIENT RAGE, which health care professionals… face too often.” (St. Louis Post-Dispatch) “A surfer inflicted SURF RAGE on himself. After missing a big wave… he punched himself in the head for 30 seconds.” (The Vancouver Sun) “In a case of apparent SIDEWALK RAGE, Hall, 35, and McDonough, 30, were arrested… for allegedly attacking a neighbor because he greeted McDonough while walking a dog....
The Roberts appointment was astonishing for the Times-and a sign that publisher Arthur Sulzberger Jr., only two years in that position, was willing again to shake up his tradition-bound property. While Roberts had once served as national editor at the paper, leaving in 1972, he was still an outsider-and the first named to such a high Times position since 1904. What did it mean? Most saw it as a frank acknowledgment that the Times, while still the nation’s best newspaper on most days, was moving to correct the exact drift that Roberts himself spoke about....
The difference this year? It’s not 1994 anymore. The politics of gun safety have shifted drastically since then. For the first time in at least 25 years, no Democrats have an “A” rating from the NRA. And this year, President Joe Biden and congressional Democrats passed the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act, the first piece of federal gun safety legislation passed in nearly 30 years. After years of federal inaction on gun violence, the gun lobby is losing power in Washington and the general public is seeing who they truly are: overpaid political hacks resting in America’s wealthiest zip codes, far removed from everyday Americans and even gun owners....
On Friday, your intrepid Gaggler decided to use a stopwatch to time exactly how much access reporters really had to Cheney. At the first event in Sydney–a breakfast between the vice president and Australian business leaders–the media was ushered in to observe Cheney talking for 41.8 seconds. Next up, Cheney gave a speech that lasted 24 minutes and 37 seconds. After that, the Veep made a visit to the Victoria Barracks in Sydney, where he met with Australian Defense Forces to personally thank them for their help in the war on terror....
Notably, this power imbalance doesn’t fall equally on all segments of society. Communities of color and those who are low income disproportionally face threat of eviction. In turbocharged housing markets like California’s, which is facing a massive affordability crisis, the problem is amplified. Most members of low-income communities do not own their homes and are subject to rents pegged at “whatever the market will bear” that can quickly become grossly unaffordable....
After working with small businesses for the past 20 years, my instinct is that many owners fail to set up their online stores for selling because it’s perceived as complicated to get started. Despite this gestation, evidence of the trend toward convenience is overwhelming. In 2021, total e-commerce sales in the U.S. reached $959.9 billion, an 18.3% increase from 2020 but a figure that overshadows the total online sales of $199....
