He made special mention of N Srinivasan, claiming that the former BCCI president had the belief in Shastri to coach the team and was the one who convinced him to take the job. Speaking at a press conference after the match against Namibia, Shastri said:...

The Men In Blue began their campaign with a contest against arch-rivals Pakistan on October 24th. But then proceeded to play their next match, a week later against New Zealand. Doull noted that the scheduling was right to keep Pakistan as India’s first opponent in the tournament. However, he felt that New Zealand should have been their last opponent instead of Namibia. Speaking to Cricbuzz, Doull said: Team India captain Virat Kohli had also spoken up against the week-long break given to them prior to the clash against a potent New Zealand team....

Germany midfielder Gundogan was the first signing sanctioned by Guardiola at the Etihad Stadium, agreeing a four-year deal to seal a £20 million move from Borussia Dortmund in June 2016, a month before the Catalan tactician took up the reins in Manchester. The 27-year-old was still rehabilitating from a dislocated kneecap at that stage and a cruciate knee ligament injury in December 2016 curtailed his debut Premier League campaign....

The Impact (8-11-0) have won five of their last six games to get back into the hunt for a playoff spot in the MLS Eastern Conference.

Between January and November 2020, Taiwan’s military aircraft flew a combined 45,500 hours, including 11,800 mission hours and 33,700 training hours, the Ministry of National Defense told a bipartisan legislative committee. The air force flew 1,000 more hours on training missions when compared to the yearly average of 32,700 between 2017 and 2019, lawmakers with the Foreign and National Defense Committee were told. The report attributed the increase to incursions by People’s Liberation Army aircraft, which began flying regular sorties into the southwest corner of Taiwan’s air defense identification zone (ADIZ)—at the mouth of the South China Sea—last September....

Taiwan has joined Western allies in condemning Russia’s invasion of its neighboring country, and many of its citizens have raised an alarm about the parallels between Russia and the island nation’s own expansionist, authoritarian-led neighbor: China. Minister of Foreign Affairs Jaushieh Joseph Wu shared photos of the humanitarian aid shipments on Twitter, writing: “While #China sides with #Russia in an ‘unlimited alliance,’ #Taiwan is with freedom & democracy fighting the expansion of authoritarianism....

This is how Sarfaraz Khan burst onto the scene. He backed his debut IPL performance with some consistent batting in the following matches and made a name for himself as a future torchbearer of Indian batting....

Yet my friends envied me. Our house was a haven. a gathering place. Rules were simple and reasonable. My mother was always available (a physical presence if not an emotional one) and my father was warm, funny, loving. He told me if I ever had problems, I should come to him. Other young people did. They’d go to his office just to talk. My father wasn’t a psychiatrist or counselor–he was a dentist–yet people of all ages confided in him....

Rinwell and Law join the party in the second area of Tales of Arise, when fans enter the wintery land of Cyslodia. While some players may believe that the second realm will lead into Rinwell’s story, it actually ends up being more about Law and Zephyr, as Rinwell’s character arc comes in later. With two party members for gamers to get attached to, though, the game focuses just the right amount on them both, as their differences and similarities lead them to interact in interesting ways throughout the game....

“We’ve made clear to all parties, we’ve made clear to the Taliban, that these charters need to be able to depart,” Blinken said. The U.S. is continuing to press the Taliban to allow charter flights carrying would-be evacuees out of the city of Mazar-e-Sharif. Blinken said some groups that claim to have proper documentation and arrangements prepared “unfortunately don’t—often for good reason, but this creates further complications.” He added that the U....

The Saints were a goal behind when Ryan Bertrand was dismissed in the 12th minute, and they shipped eight more in a landslide at St Mary’s, suffering the joint-heaviest defeat in Premier League history. Saturday brings a rematch and Southampton have displayed good humour in the build-up, muting Twitter terms related to the last encounter. But with a five-game undefeated streak behind them and a European place remarkably not out of reach, a team formerly deemed destined for the drop are on the up....

The employee then adds “the blue ingredient that Starbucks has,” and blends it with some bleach and ice. The blue liquid is then poured into an iced drink cup and is served with a straw, “because they [police] only think about themselves,” the employee says in the video. In the background of the TikTok, a song titled “All I Want for Christmas is a Few Dead Cops” is heard. A Twitter user found the TikTok online and shared it, letting Starbucks know about the dangerous concoction....

The previous definition, published in 1979, defines pain as “an unpleasant sensory and emotional experience associated with actual or potential tissue damage, or described in terms of such damage.” The updated definition offers a more nuanced, systemic view of pain, and aims to change the way pain is understood, communicated, and treated. IASP also added six notes that expand on the definition of pain from multiple different angles. These include:...

McConnell had nine steals in the first half and 10 for the game, to go with 16 points (8 for 8 from the floor) and 13 assists in the Pacers’ 114-111 win over the Cavaliers. To show just how eye-popping this feat was, here are some historical notes: The first-half steals set an NBA record. McConnell missed tying the record for steals in a game (11) by one. The points-assists-steals combo was the 11th since the NBA made steals an official stat in 1973, and the first for a player off the bench....
