The midfielder, who was included by Florent Ibenge in his 36-man squad for the upcoming World Cup qualifiers against Tunisia, featured for Stuttgart in the 2-0 defeat at Hertha Belin on Saturday. Akolo was listed amongst the starters for Stuttgart’s season prelim and he lasted 75 minutes before he was replaced by Anastasios Donis as Die Roten were undone by a Matthew Leckie brace. Having moved from Swiss Super League title challengers Sion on a four-year deal, the new Leopards anchorman finds himself in very unfamiliar territory, as he must help Stuttgart sustain their Bundesliga status....

After the Senate vote, President Clinton said, “You can’t go about the world saying you’re going to do something and then not do it.” The president is right– but what he described is precisely the approach the administration and some of our allies have taken. For three years the United States and the international community have: passed resolutions in the United Nations that pledged to protect the Bosnians, held meetings with our allies, established “safe havens” that tragically became safe fox-little more than Serb aggression, and issued NATO ultimatums threatening the Serbs....

Alabama beat the No. 1 team in the nation, and if that makes everything warm and cozy on a bitterly cold night in the Deep South, grab that single, tangible moment from Saturday afternoon and hold on tight. Because the rest of No. 5 Alabama’s 25-20 victory over top-ranked Mississippi State is full of questions and second-guesses and lingering doubt — all underscoring the absolute uncertainty of this season....

So one great myth about the war against the Taliban–that we were losing on the ground–has exploded. But another still stays strong. We hear daily that even as it is vanquishing the foe, America is losing the propaganda war. Tensions are bubbling over as we enter the month of Ramadan. The Arab street is angry. But is it? Martin Indyk, former assistant secretary of State for Near Eastern Affairs, now a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution, has tracked the number of demonstrations in the Arab world since the war began....

deals from mergers to buyouts to IPOs, in unprecedented numbers and scale, with a quantum expansion of deals across national borders. Whether this phenomenon lasts or whether it ends in a collapsing financial universe –well, that’s another question. The first flares of the global big bang are already visible. The world’s biggest IPOs are coming out of China, such as the recent $350 billion underwriting deal for the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, and more are on the way....

What motivates them, these anonymous billions, in their drive for obscurity? How, in a world in which the newspaper clippings about Sydney Biddle Barrows make a two-inch-thick stack in the NEWSWEEK library, have so many others managed to escape the relentless spotlight of celebrity? This is a question that invariably puzzles writers, who by the nature of their business are compelled to see their names in print. Readership is the measure of success in writing, unlike most other fields, in which it’s money....

“I have come to the conclusion that I must continue my work as attorney general,” James announced in a Thursday statement. “There are a number of important investigations and cases that are underway, and I intend to finish the job.” Instead of taking on current Governor Kathy Hochul in the race, James said she will run for a second term in 2022. She has served as attorney general since 2019....

Then again, we said the same about the OnePlus 3T. The upgraded version of the already excellent OnePlus 3 is a serious powerhouse, and cheaper than most. But which should you get if you’re considering a new Android flagship purchase? We’re here to help. Check out our LG G6 vs OnePlus 3T comparison review. LG G6 vs OnePlus 3T: UK price and availability At the time of writing the LG G6’s price hasn’t been officially announced, but it is available to pre-order from Mobile Fun for £699....

LG’s new portable projector dubbed the CineBeam PF510Q Smart Portable Projector is 2.2 pounds, and the company claims it offers “a transformative home theater experience” wherever you take it—provided there’s a place for you to plug it in. While clocking in at about six by three by six inches, the lightweight PF510Q also claims to project screen sizes between 30- to 120-inches. It also offers a Full HD resolution of 1920x1080, with multiple aspect ratio options such as Original, 16:9, 4:3, 4-Way Zoom, or Vertical Zoom....

If it is to be released in Europe or the US, it wouldn’t necessarily mean that it’d be those prices. LG has left hardly anything up to the imagination with its new handset, which it has steadily revealed details of over the past few weeks. The phone has a Snapdragon 765 5G chipset, notably not Qualcomm’s top of the line 865, but this is presumably one of the reasons LG is able to price the Velvet considerably lower than other capable flagship smartphones – it’s half the price of the Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra....

Out in the Ring, which recently launched its second crowdfunding campaign as production continued, also dropped a trailer to commemorate the campaign and entice potential backers. The trailer teases the wide reach of the documentary, showing footage spanning practically as many decades as professional wrestling has existed as well as plenty of interviews with performers who finally get a much deserved spotlight, along with others in the industry.

China’s Li Na crashed out of the French Open on Thursday losing 5-7, 6-3, 6-2 to Bethanie Mattek-Sands of the United States in a second round tie badly disrupted by rain. It was the first time the 2011 champion had gone out at such an early stage of the tournament in seven appearances and wrecked her hopes of a second straight Grand Slam final appearance after Australia in January....

The reputation of such courts is already straining. Former Serbian president Slobodan Milosevic’s self-defense in The Hague tribunal has turned the proceeding into a farce. In Arusha, Tanzania, the prosecution of Rwandans accused in the 1994 genocide has proved clumsy and subject to suspected lawyer-fee abuses. Having missed its mark last week, the Sierra Leone panel faces a mixed result at best because Taylor may never fall into its grasp....

First, the pandemic has demonstrated that telemedicine is here to stay in a big way and that it should be incorporated across health care, more broadly. As New York grappled with the worst of the crisis, video visits were an invaluable tool for outpatients who needed to consult with a primary care doctor or specialist. The crisis demonstrated that many symptoms and treatments can be assessed remotely, while critical care physicians used mobile devices to observe and help manage ICU patients in other hospitals that were short-staffed....

Where Are the Tools? When Max enters the garage via the Price’s living room door, she will be in a large room lined with cupboards. Along the left side of the room, to the right of David’s gun cabinet, is a washer-dryer combo, on top of which Max may see the tools precariously balanced on some boxes labeled “William’s Stuff”.

Many of my new colleagues are in here on minor charges such as petty theft or parole violation. There are a lot of small-time drug dealers who are repeat offenders. When I first arrived, I was placed in a cellblock that consisted of eight one-man night cells and a day room. There were a dozen of us altogether, meaning that those without seniority slept on the floor. The day room had a TV for our edification and amusement, two steel picnic tables with benches welded to the floor, a shower, a comer commode open to full view and a telephone....

Australia scored 327 and 263-4 declared either side of England posting 491 in their only innings, with the surface in Melbourne criticised by players on both sides. Only 24 wickets were taken across the five days and ICC match referee Ranjan Madugalle expressed concern over the pitch in his report to the governing body. “The bounce of the MCG pitch was medium, but slow in pace and got slower as the match progressed,” said Madugalle....

And yet, Argentina and Lionel Messi are still alive. Just. Ahmed Musa might not be the first player that comes to mind when reflecting on the heroes of Argentine football. He has, in fact, previously been a thorn in their side having scored both Super Eagles goals in a 3-2 defeat to the Albiceleste at the 2014 tournament. But, after his superb control and half-volleyed finish followed by a composed effort proved enough to beat Iceland 2-0 here in Volgograd, he will be the toast of Buenos Aires tonight....
