Brown began his career as a soul shouter, in the mold of Hank Ballard, but soon surpassed his mentor. By July 1965, with “Papa’s Got a Brand New Bag,” Brown was onto something new entirely - not just a new sound, but an approach to music that had never been heard before. He tore down popular music and rebuilt it around rhythms and grooves rather than melodies. It was no longer linear, it was static....
The Reds consolidated fourth spot with a 3-0 home victory over Middlesbrough in the final game of the season on Sunday to finish above Arsenal and Manchester United. Klopp’s revolution roars on They will face a play-off to participate among Europe’s elite next season, but will first turn their focus towards recruitment. Jurgen Klopp revealed much of the groundwork “is already pretty done” for the summer transfer window, where bringing in a pedigreed centre-back like Virgil van Dijk or Kalidou Koulibaly is high on Liverpool’s priority list, while Naby Keita is the top midfield target as revealed by Goal....
Competing in the men’s T-44 high jump event at the Tokyo Paralympic Games, Praveen won silver by clearing the bar at 2.07m. It was Praveen’s personal best and an Asian record in his respective category. Praveen’s coach Satyapal Singh, a Dronacharya Awardee, was elated as his athlete won silver on debut at the world’s biggest stage. The last 15 months said the coach has been all about staying focused and managing bare minimum training facilities due to the pandemic....
The hoopla of the cheapest ever tablet made in India began about a year ago. God forgive me for being so naïve that I believed that this 7” Android 2.3 will change the way technology is accepted in my country when it was all a little dirty prank. The technology is marvelous for having produced this technical gem in less than Rs. 3000. But in India, every research in brilliant and its only when it is applied that it leads to a fiasco....
The research, published in the journal JAMA Internal Medicine, involved 451,743 people from 10 European countries: Denmark, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, Spain, Sweden and the U.K. The participants were enrolled in the ongoing European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition research project between 1992 and 2000. Researchers asked them about their diet—including how many soft drinks they consumed—as well as lifestyle choices and demographics. The team also collected samples of their blood....
Rose missed all but 10 games last season with a torn meniscus in his right knee, and he missed the 2012-13 season with a torn ACL. These games, starting Saturday, represent the first step in his comeback, which he says is all but complete. “I’m past my injuries and just trying to stay focused and stay together,” he said. Rose played in three exhibitions leading up to the tournament, averaging 19....
The Lakers earned a 108-105 victory at Staples Center after four-time NBA MVP James prevented Wade, who is retiring at the end of the season, from sinking a late three-pointer. In what was their 31st head-to-head meeting, James’ team emerged victorious for a 16th time, however he was quick to praise the impact Wade has had on his career over the past 16 years. After entering the NBA together in 2003, James and Wade’s careers have seen them face-off as rivals and work together as team-mates....
As if in answer to that very question, Adventure Time mastermind Pendelton Ward took to twitter to announce that a DS game is on the way, from Wayforward Technologies (Mighty Switch Force, Shante: Risky’s Revenge, BloodRayne: Betrayal). This is the part where you say, “mathmatical!” For the uninitiated, Adventure Time follows the exploits of hat-wearing, sword-weilding Finn – possibly the only human in the Land of Ooo – and his talking, shape-changing dog/brother, who happens to share a voice with Gears of War’s Marcus Fenix....
But these 300 changes have done little to effectively address the disinformation crisis. The online world is overrun with political conspiracy theories, echo-chambers, half-truths, and outright lies. In April, disinformation on Facebook pages about the COVID-19 pandemic drew an estimated 460 million views. Just this month, fake “vaccination exemption” cards were being promoted on Twitter. And in the week following the general election, videos with electoral disinformation were viewed 137 million times on YouTube....
The royals have been embroiled in scandal after scandal for more than two years, yet politicians turn a blind eye, thereby highlighting what’s wrong with an institution that rests on deference and mythology. It’s been argued that we should be careful how much we challenge the royals in case we inadvertently bring the whole edifice down. But if challenging an institution causes its collapse, then it doesn’t deserve to survive....
But too many American children just do not have these associations. And it is precisely now, with the importance of home is so front and center, that we should be thinking about those without a home who need one so desperately: children in foster care. Most importantly, it is long past time that we reevaluate how we send children to foster care, which may be the biggest problem of all....
The Clarets had conceded 41 times in their 19 Premier League games heading into Sunday’s encounter at Turf Moor, and Dyche responded by dropping former England international Hart. Long-serving Burnley stopper Heaton was drafted in for a league game for the first time since September 2017 and was not breached as Burnley picked up their first victory in four matches to move level on points with 17th-placed Southampton. “It was a tough one on Joe, but Tom is a great pro and his professionalism has paid him back,” Dyche told a news conference afterwards....
“Diamanti will fly to Spain to join the team Monday once he passes the medical,” Evergrande said on its official website, reports Xinhua. Evergrande, who became the first Chinese side in 23 years to win Asia’s top club competition last season, are now training in Spain for the new season. World Cup-winning coach Marcello Lippi expects Diamanti to fill in the void left by Argentine midfielder Dario Conca. Diamanti, 30, is good at free kicks and can play both on the left side and in the middle....
The tingling sensation is often relieved when the area is scratched. Scratching an itch can bring relief; however, too much scratching can also cause damage to the overlying skin. An itch over the chest area can have many potential causes, from dry skin to bug bites. While chest itching is not an emergency, if you notice severe symptoms—such as difficulty breathing or chest pain—you should seek urgent medical care as these symptoms can be severe....
How Ronaldo has evolved his game The France international was one of the revelations of the 2015-16 campaign after joining United from Monaco, but has failed to replicate that form this season. The 21-year-old has started just seven Premier League games under Jose Mourinho and is not happy with his peripheral role. “It is annoying to be on the bench, it is really annoying,” the attacker told SFR Sport ....
NorthEast United haven’t won any of their last six games, and this season is slowly developing into an all-too-familiar story for the Highlanders. Gerard Nus has to turn things around for his side, and will look to begin the recovery against the struggling Bengaluru FC team. In their last game, NorthEast lost 4-2 to Hyderabad FC. They clawed their way back to 2-2, after going two goals down. But a late brace from Liston Colaco ensured that Nus’ side ended that game with no point....
The 20-year-old rookie registered a secondary assist on the game’s first goal, an Anthony Beauvillier first-period tally, before getting in on the act himself in the second. Barzal cut in from the right wing and beat Rangers’ goaltender Ondrej Pavelec with a nifty backhand effort 37 seconds into the middle frame. The Coquitlam, BC native wasn’t finished there, and he extended the Islanders’ lead to three nearly four minutes later....
His comments come amid growing tensions following a deadly drone strike on an Israeli-operated tanker off the coast of Oman. Israel, along with the U.S. and the U.K., has blamed Tehran for the attack on the Mercer Street last week that killed two people—the Romanian captain and a British crew member. Iran has denied involvement in the incident. “Israel is ready to attack Iran, yes,” Gantz told Ynet on Thursday....
The IDF warned the occupants of Gaza’s Al-Jalaa Tower on Saturday that an airstrike was imminent, resulting in a futile plea by the building’s owner to delay the attack and frantic scenes as inhabitants, including personnel from major news outlets such as The Associated Press and Al Jazeera scrambled to grab what equipment they could before evacuating. Less than an hour later, the 12-story structure was reduced to rubble....
Israel has acted in the past to prevent Iraq and Syria from obtaining nuclear capabilities. Netanyahu warned in a 2012 speech to the United Nations that a red line must be drawn on Iran’s nuclear enrichment program. Now Iran’s Ayatollah Khamenei says Iran could increase the levels of enrichment to 60 percent. This is a nuclear numbers game that Iran uses like a game of chicken with the U.S., hoping the Biden administration will blink and jump right back into an Iran Deal 2....
