Even a few days ago, Bengaluru FC posted a convincing victory over Jamshedpur FC as they signified that their slight loss in form was just a minor aberration. At the Kanteerava, the Blues’ stupendous defence again came to the fore as they kept the eastern outfit’s attack at bay. Juanan, in particular, was exceptional on the night, akin to what he has conjured throughout the season. Moreover, his ability to calmly play out from the back enables Carles Cuadrat to ingrain his philosophy on the side and ensure that Bengaluru are an accomplished outfit in possession....

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.

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....

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....

The Spanish champions have failed to win any of their last six competitive matches on their travels in a run stretching back to May, conceding 11 goals and scoring four. Barca were somewhat fortunate to escape with a goalless draw against Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League in midweek, having already lost to Athletic Bilbao and drawn with Osasuna in LaLiga. Granada are up next for Valverde’s men and the 55-year-old has demanded an improvement from his players....

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....

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....

Ronaldo picked out the bottom corner of the net 62 minutes in at San Siro after a give-and-go with Miralem Pjanic to bring up his landmark strike, shortly after having a shot from close range closed down by Stefan de Vrij. Juventus boss Allegri was pleased with the way his side, without key men such as Paulo Dybala, Mario Mandzukic and Sami Khedira, battled back to earn a share of the points in the Derby d’Italia clash....

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....

A row over sponsorship and commercial rights between the Danish Football Association (DBU) and players meant Denmark’s established stars were not available for the friendly match in Trnava. With head coach Age Hareide also involved in the dispute, Jensen was placed in temporary charge of a team comprising players from the Danish lower divisions and futsal sides. They produced an admirable display against Slovakia, though, who were made to work for their victory, which came courtesy of first-half goals from Adam Nemec and Albert Rusnak, and a late own goal from Adam Fogt....

Currently, it seems that Quidditch may not make its appearance in the upcoming Hogwarts Legacy. There has not been any confirmation that it will be in the game, and the sport has been absent from every single trailer. The only gameplay that has players ride a broom is when they are exploring the game world. Not having Quidditch in the game that is supposed to let players live out their Harry Potter dreams seems like it could be a missed opportunity....

The first World UFO Day was celebrated in 2001 with the aim of raising awareness about the “undoubted existence” of unidentified flying objects, according to its official website. Another reason for establishing the celebration was to encourage governments to “declassify their knowledge about sightings” throughout history. Traditionally, people who have reported UFO sightings have often been dismissed or even ridiculed. UFO sightings do not necessarily mean evidence of extraterrestrial life, simply that the reports of these objects cannot be explained....

Robertson is in the national capital with his team for the I-League clash against East Bengal, which was originally slated to be held in Srinagar but was subsequently moved out in view of the prevailing uncertainty in the Kashmir valley. “No idea about what is happening with the Minerva clash. It’s in the hands of the AIFF and they will make the decision,” Robertson said on the eve of the game....

The batsman not only reached three figures but also clinched victory for the hosts with a four through mid-wicket off a Hardik Pandya full toss. Root held his arm straight out and let go of his bat to mark the milestone, mimicking an on-stage performer finishing their act by dropping the microphone to the stage before walking off. However, England’s Test captain has confessed he regretted the move as soon as it happened - and has not been allowed to forget about it since by his colleagues....

Raheem Sterling’s double, wedged either side of Marcus Rashford’s strike, had put England in cruise control by the interval of Monday’s Nations League encounter in Seville. The hosts – 2-1 winners in the reverse fixture in September – rallied through substitute Paco Alcacer’s goal, before Jordan Pickford was fortunate Rodrigo Moreno did not capitalise on his error, and that the referee did not award a penalty for the goalkeeper’s subsequent challenge....
