Now, the Arrows project, which was shut down in 2013, has been reinstated under Portuguese coach Luis Norton de Matos, comprising of players from the India U17 team which participated in the U17 World Cup held in India last October. Speaking to Goal exclusively, Jeje opined that it was very hard for young Indian strikers, especially, to get regular opportunities to play and hence the move to restart the Arrows project is an inspired idea....

On Jan. 26 Islanders coach Jack Capuano said Okposo would miss six to eight weeks, but he didn’t disclose the issue other than saying it was an “upper body” injury. On Tuesday ESPN’s Katie Strang reported the injury is a detached retina. Okposo played in the team’s first 46 games this season and is the Isles’ second-leading scorer with 44 points. This isn’t the first time this type of injury has happened in the NHL....

Of course, second-guessing—especially of a war so obviously bungled—is too tempting for any former general to resist. In fact, Lahad says he still keeps in touch with his Israeli military contacts and occasionally meets with them for informal brainstorming sessions. Lahad says he complained to them about their dogged reliance on air power in this conflict, which he considered dangerous and ineffective. Still, he says his own gripes are tame compared to the mudslinging he sees on Israeli television....

Rather than turn his frustration into violent resistance, Issa has instead chosen a different path. He committed his life to nonviolent resistance and civil disobedience. In 2007, he cofounded a youth organization to spread his message, Youth Against Settlements, where he has spent over a decade preaching nonviolence to Palestinian youth. And he didn’t reserve his ire for Israel exclusively, either. When I met Issa at a conference in Europe (our paths didn’t cross beforehand; it’s only on rare occasions that Israel allows Gazans to cross to the West Bank, mostly for humanitarian reasons), he was scathing about the Palestinian Authority and Hamas....

However, railroads are still not operating and the buses (albeit returning to nearly full schedule) are traveling largely empty. Most of the workers in Israeli high-tech continue to work from home, and El Al, Israel’s national carrier, has announced cancellation of all flights through the end of May. Many here fear Israel is reopening too quickly. As plans for restarting the economy were initially raised, it was asserted that changes would be instituted very slowly and deliberatively, with 14 days between each step to assess best practices....

These cries are alarmist, hyperbolic, and simply lacking in historical context. The new government’s judicial reform proposal has three key elements. The most important would give the Israeli Supreme Court explicit statutory authorization to overturn legislation, while also preserving the Knesset’s authority to legislate. A second element would slightly modify Israel’s existing process for appointing judges by a committee of public officials and sitting judges by adding more elected representatives to the committee....

Speaking in a statement video published online Friday morning, Netanyahu accused the late head of Iran’s Revolutionary Guards Quds Force of planning attacks on Americans, echoing a statement from the Pentagon. He also said President Trump deserved “credit” for acting “swiftly” and “forcefully” with the drone attack on Soleimani, just days after protesters attacked the U.S. embassy in Baghdad. The American commander-in-chief directed the strike on Soleimani at Baghdad’s International Airport Thursday night, which also killed two Iraqi militia officials....

Plagiarism is the purloining of ideas or language from another source. It is literary theft, deriving from the Latin plagiarius, meaning kidnapper. Perhaps the dramatic derivation of the word is what attracts the academic set. We spend our days in libraries, classrooms and archives. Given the scant opportunities for stimulation, a kidnapping, literary or otherwise, offers perhaps the only taste of salacious activity we may experience all year. Maybe this is why the disappointment I feel upon discovering a suspected case of plagiarism is always mixed with a bit of excitement....

So this weekend, he upgraded his platform from Twitter to the national anthem. FANTASY FOOTBALL: Top 200 rankings Can you hear him now? Of course you can. Because he’s in the NFL, and the NFL is America, and America is the national anthem, and the NFL has made absolutely sure that in all of your minds, those three will never be separated. The shield, the anthem, the troops, the flag that covers the entire field, the Air Force flyovers, the reciting of the Declaration of Independence before the Super Bowl, the $5 million the government paid the NFL to use them as an ad for the armed forces … they are all attached....

A flash of white light silhouettes a low range of hills to the south, as bright as a compact camera going off at a few feet. Then, an eerily long time later, comes a sharp thud and a rumble that resonates in the tower on which we are standing. A Tomahawk, says someone: that has to be a Tomahawk. Only a cruise missile can make the ground shake like that, 20 miles away....

On the eve of the anniversaries of Hezbollah’s deadly bomb attacks on the AMIA Jewish community center in Argentina in 1994 and an Israeli tourist bus in Bulgaria in 2012, the lawmakers sent a powerful Transatlantic Declaration to EU leaders, rejecting the fictional distinction the EU created seven years ago when it designated only Hezbollah’s so-called “military” arm. This fiction has allowed the Shiite terror group to continue operating in Europe in support of its so-called “political” arm....

The sheriff and a few other officers were in pursuit of a fleeing suspect just before the shooting. To escape the police, the suspect ran onto Amy Corbitt’s property, where six children including her own were playing, two of them under the age of three. The children found themselves caught up in the frenzied scene, allegedly ordered to lay face-down in the grass with loaded guns pressed into their backs....

The video was broadcast during an event staged by the anti-establishment Five-Star Movement party on Tuesday. Senator Maria Laura Mantovani has reported the incident to the police in the hope those responsible for hijacking the Zoom session will be punished, according to an ANSA report. The meeting, entitled “Towards A Transparent Civil Service,” featured Nobel Prize-winning physicist Giorgio Parisi among its speakers. The video featured a character from the Final Fantasy series of games....

Speaking at the University of Pisa, Mattarella lauded the country’s patriotic response to the pandemic when it became the first European country to deal with an onslaught of COVID cases. Italy was the first country in Europe to impose nationwide lockdowns and its resident have shown compliance with mask-wearing and social distancing efforts. That’s why, Matarella said, it was “painful and surprising” to see violence erupt over the vaccine requirements, “not during the dark moments when we feared the collapse of the country, but now, today when we see an encouraging economic, social and cultural recovery....

IUDs are considered a highly effective, safe, and long-acting birth control method, but there are a few risks to using them. This article will look at the risks and complications of IUDs. Past IUD Risks and Concerns Unfortunately, IUDs have a history of questionable safety, which has stigmatized IUD use. In the 1970s, a time when the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) had limited authority over the medical device industry, the first popular IUD, called the Dalkon Shield, was introduced....

In a Thursday night tweet, Ivanka Trump posted a link to a New York Times article detailing two investigations into the Trump Organization’s taxes: a criminal investigation by Manhattan district attorney Cyrus R. Vance Jr., and a civil investigation by state Attorney General Letitia James. Both are Democrats. “This is harassment pure and simple,” Ivanka Trump wrote. “This ‘inquiry’ by NYC democrats is 100% motivated by politics, publicity and rage....

According to author Vicky Ward, Ivanka Trump approaches public relations unlike any other top official in the president’s administration. One example, Ward told The Daily Beast, was the first daughter’s reaction to an article she wrote for Esquire about Kushner in August 2016 when she allegedly called the magazine’s then-editor-in-chief and “literally started crying, pleading with him to take down the story.” Ward told The Daily Beast that Jay Fielden, then Esquire’s editor-in-chief, saw through Trump’s “crocodile tears” and that the piece stayed online and was later sent to print with minimal changes....

Thursday morning saw the artist’s name trending, along with the hashtag #JBalvinIsOverParty, as legions of Sharika fans slammed the “Mi Gente” singer for “disrespecting” the legendary Latin performer. Balvin seemed to imply that Shakira is difficult to work with in a virtual interview with Billboard. The Black Eyed Peas took part in a Q&A with singer Maluma and Balvin, who, along with Shakira, are one of the few guest collaborators on the group’s forthcoming album ‘Translation’....

That’s right, Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck were spotted kissing at a Malibu restaurant on what looked like a romantic date night on Sunday, pretty much confirming that they are an item again. Neither of the actors has publicly released a statement discussing the relationship but they have now been spotted going on vacation to Montana, Miami and this date night is pretty much sealing the deal. Now, in a video obtained by Page Six, the reunited couple can be seen canoodling and kissing in public....
