Every football squad needs one or two like them. They come on in the dying stages of a match to close out a 1-0 win or when there is no established right back to replace the one that just got injured. They make the team based on versatility and are usually the first ones to be singled out after a bad performance. They ‘do a job’ or ‘paper over cracks’ rather setting the world/club stage on fire....
After progressive Democrats and some Republicans demanded that a new economic relief package include another round of $1,200 direct payments to most Americans, a bipartisan group of negotiators added a provision that would dole out half that amount. Ocasio-Cortez posted the poll to Twitter on Wednesday, asking her followers if this compromise would be adequate to address their financial needs during the coronavirus pandemic. “Is $600 for a second COVID check enough?...
Borkai Thursday said he thought bidding for the Games was realistic. Since Hungary, and more specifically, his own hometown of Gyor, will be hosting the European Youth Olympic Festival in 2017. “It (Gyor) will have the chance to prove its ability to manage a major multi-sport event, even if it isn’t in the same category as the Olympics,” he wrote on the HOC website. “We’ve still got a great deal of work to do before actually preparing and submitting the bid, which includes clarifying any number of minor and not-so-minor details, but there is no doubt about our intent, which is that Budapest would like to host the world’s best athletes,” Borkai wrote....
Hungarian referee Viktor Kassai on Thursday admitted that he should have awarded a goal to Ukraine in their final Euro 2012 match against England and apologised for his mistake. “After the match, we looked at and evaluated the situation. We realised straight away that we made a mistake,” Kassai said on the official website of the Hungarian football federation (MLSZ). The five officials at the game, including two on the goal-line, were criticised for not awarding a goal to the co-hosts, which arose as England defender John Terry tried to clear after a Joe Hart save from a Marko Devic shot....
You may be concerned that the person you’ve been caring for will be hungry and will suffer if they are unable to eat. After all, providing food and fluids is fundamental to the role of caregiver. However, IV fluids and tube feedings are not typically recommended in dying patients. They carry serious risks and there’s a lack of evidence that they can improve symptoms of dehydration, quality of life, or survival at the end of life....
Teased by Elon Musk several days ahead of their release on Friday, December 2, the “Twitter files” (shared by former Rolling Stone journalist Matt Taibbi) showed that Twitter engaged with politicians over the content on its platform, as well as the social media network’s efforts to suppress the story about the president’s son. The messages pointed to uncertainty among the platform’s leadership about the provenance of the laptop story. The leadership opted early on to suppress the story in its recommendation algorithms and then blocked links to it—saying that this was under the company’s policy on hacked materials....
Carolina general manager Don Waddell announced Thursday that the team is buying out Marleau’s contract. The forward will receive his $3 million signing bonus plus $833,333 that will be split over the next two years. Marleau, 39, was traded to the Hurricanes on June 22 by the Maple Leafs, along with a conditional 2020 first-round pick and a 2020 seventh-round selection, for a 2020 sixth-round choice. Last season, Marleau played in 82 games and recorded 16 goals and 37 points for Toronto....
Babis Anagnostopoulos, 33, was arrested on Thursday after he attended a memorial service held for his late-wife, Caroline Crouch, that took place on the Greek island of Alonnisos, where she grew up after moving from the U.K. when she was 8 years old. Anagnostopoulos had initially told police that Crouch was killed after burglars broke into their home, in the Athens suburb of Glyka Nera on May 11, tied him up and threatened their infant daughter with a gun....
The man’s wife, and mother of the 23-year-old woman in question, explained the situation in a post to Reddit on Tuesday. Under the username u/MrsStewart21368, she explained her husband wants her recently graduated daughter to work for him. However, the young woman has visited his company a few times and finds it very uncomfortable because of how men there treat women. She had made it clear she will not work for her stepfather or his company....
Mike Hussey, former Australian batsman, does not want to be part of the Australian team touring England and described the feeling as ‘horrible’. “I feel for the guys because I’ve certainly been in that situation as well where we haven’t been playing that well and losing games and it’s a horrible feeling in the dressing room,” Hussey was quoted saying in the Sydney Morning Herald. The 38-year-old, however, feels that the presence of experienced Darren Lehmann in the staff will help them maintain the fighting spirit against England....
Thanks in advance!

Electrolytes help balance the water and pH (a measure of acidity and alkalinity) in your body, move nutrients into your cells, and clear wastes out. They have a role in keeping your heart, brain, muscles, and nerves working well. You also need phosphate to keep bones and teeth strong. When phosphate levels in the blood are less than 2.5 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL), it can cause serious health problems for your lungs, heart, and muscles....
Hyundai has used its customers’ push toward a more digitized shopping experience to enhance its bottom line. The second quarter of 2021 yielded the company’s best Q2 in history and its highest June sales numbers on record. Randy Parker, senior vice president of national sales for Hyundai Motor America told Newsweek that the success is due in large part to the fact that the company’s dealerships were charged with one not-so-simple task: “follow the customer wherever the customer wants to go” with their sale...
The 41-year-old participated in the Selected Celebrity category on Sunday and finished the fastest among all her fellow countrymen at the race, with a timing of 2 hours, 36 minutes and 55 seconds. “I came into this race unprepared and hoped the magic of the London Marathon would help me and I’m sure it did. Down the last mile I thought ‘I don’t care about the time’, I just wanted to thank as many people as I could,” Radcliffe said after the race....
Sometimes a game releases, and it’s just so good that you find yourself drawn back to it again and again. I’ve had that happen many times throughout the years, but it’s very rare for those games to ever be found on my mobile phone. When the original Alto’s Odyssey released in 2018, it was enjoyable, but I quickly forgot about it amidst the other big titles dropping that year. Going back to the acclaimed endless runner with the release of Alto’s Odyssey: The Lost City on Apple Arcade, I’m reminded of why the simplest games can sometimes be the most enjoyable....
Uthappa made it to the national One Day International side for the series against Bangladesh, after a span of close to six years following a terrific domestic season with Karnataka and Indian Premier League season with Kolkata Knight Riders. Despite making only scores of 50, 14 and 5, his place wasn’t under any threat, as the pitches in Bangladesh were substandard and helped bowlers more; however, what turned the tide against him was his performances with India A in Australia just ahead of the ODI series in England, where he failed to cross the 50-run mark even once in seven one-day matches and 3 unofficial-Test innings on challenging conditions....
Peter Godwin’s account of this 2002 visit to his sister’s tomb comes midway through “When a Crocodile Eats the Sun,” his memoir about his family in southern Africa. It is one of many poignant moments in a book that serves as both a stark chronicle of the devastation wreaked by President Robert Mugabe and the pain of a son trying to care for his aging parents. Godwin, 49, shuttles between New York and Harare as his father’s health deteriorates and his mother’s hip collapses....
Forward Joel Ayeni got the away side to an encouraging start, tapping home from close range, as early as the third minute. But it only spurred the home team on as they banged in three in the first half. Forward Fabio Penas scored a brace (on 17 and 18 minutes). Midfielder Samuel Lalmuanpuia scored the third in the 37th. Lajong improved to 17 points from 13 matches but remained in the fourth spot in the standings....
