REPORT: Aizawl FC 1-0 Minerva Punjab Both coaches will be expected to make a change or two to preserve their strengths for the weekend fixtures. Aizawl coach Khalid Jamil may hence choose not to risk his Ivory Coast striker Kamo Bayi who has not taken part in Monday’s training. The home team have garnered four points from two matches as they held East Bengal to a 1-1 draw and beat Minerva Punjab on Friday....

A Darryl Duffy header sandwiched between two Katsumi Yusa strikes all but sealed the tie in favour of the Maroon and Green Brigade, who moved to four points behind leaders Aizwl FC with a game in hand. Bengaluru FC on the other hand remained swivelling in 5th place. REPORT: Mohun Bagan 3-0 Bengaluru FC - Marauding Mariners bury the Blues to reinvigorate title hunt Only one win in 11 league games effectively ended all hopes of even fighting out for a place in the top two for the team from the Garden City....

The former defender concluded with a message to the fans as they were on the way to Bengaluru for an away encounter in the league before an AFC Cup group fixture. “It’s tough but it’s possible. We are in the championship and we will do it,” he signed off. Debjit Majumder who suffered an injury to his knee during the match will not be traveling to Bangalore.

Before we look closer at the fixtures that lie ahead of the teams, a glance at the points table is enough to explain how tight it is between Mohun Bagan and Aizawl FC. Both teams are tied at the top with 33 points each from 16 games. East Bengal FC, who are placed third on the table with 27 points, cannot hope to catch either team since Aizawl and Mohun Bagan are set to face each other which will put at least one of them beyond East Bengal’s reach....

The juxtaposition of the values of the Republican Party that first led me to lean to the right and the present state of Abraham Lincoln’s party merits comment. But first, I must indulge myself in a retrospective journey into the evolution of my political alignment with the right. I became of political age during the Vietnam war. Like many Americans, I saw Vietnam as an endless and deadly quagmire. Nixon’s pledge of “peace with honor” was a welcome political cowbell....

Attacks against the transgender community are more common this election than in the past because some politicians see attacking people like me as a winning political strategy in swing states such as Michigan. Their goal is to use fear and misinformation to stoke division and gain conservative votes by driving a wedge between Americans. But growing up in a rural community, I’ve seen that most conservative people have nuanced opinions....

There are later home movies that feature me as a sullen 11-year-old, tall for my age, with the long legs of a runner. My petulance is obvious as I shrug myself away from my mother’s outstretched arm–asserting my will, brandishing my independence. It’s as if we had never been attached by a short umbilical cord, carrying her blood into mine. The way she looks at my father, who is again behind the camera, reveals her frustration....

Our veterans, over 18 million of them, continually put country first. These brave citizens, alongside their proud families, have demonstrated their willingness to sacrifice for the rest of us. And importantly, they served as neither Democrats nor Republicans. They served only as Americans. In the military, differences in race, religion, socioeconomic status and political ideology are insignificant compared with the qualities that truly measure the worth of a human being and a teammate in missions where staying alive is not a given....

Ibrahimovic helped Untied to Community Shield, Europa League and EFL Cup glory in his first season in Manchester but a serious knee ligament injury cut short an impressive campaign before the 36-year-old became a free agent. United 12/1 to win PL with dabblebet After convincing manager Jose Mourinho and United’s hierarchy of his ability to return to full fitness, Ibrahimovic has returned on a one-year deal and the Swedish striker only has one thing on his mind....

The Red Devils opted to hand the enigmatic Swedish striker another short-term contract after seeing him make a full recovery from the knee ligament damage which brought his 2016-17 campaign to a close. He was not expected to be back in action until January, but Jose Mourinho drafted the 36-year-old into his plans for a Premier League meeting with Newcastle on November 18. Ibrahimovic has made a further four appearances off the bench since then, but is still looking for his first goal and made little impact during a 2-1 derby defeat to Manchester City last time out....

The Swedish striker suffered a cruciate ligament injury in United’s Europa League quarter-final win over Anderlecht in April and missed the final 10 matches of the season. The latest Man Utd transfer rumours Goal reported on Thursday that Ibrahimovic was set to be let go by Jose Mourinho’s side, despite an impressive 28-goal campaign following his move from PSG last summer. United had the option to extend the 35-year-old’s contract by an extra year, although the knee injury, which forced him to miss the Europa League final win over former club Ajax, has ultimately made up the club’s mind....

Prehistoric megatooth sharks that got their name from their massive teeth, which can each be bigger than a human hand, included the Megalodon, the largest shark that ever lived, as well as several related species. Megalodon has been conservatively estimated at 15 meters long — 50 feet — while modern great white sharks typically top out at around 5 meters or 15 feet in length. While sharks of one kind or another have existed since long before the dinosaurs — for more than 400 million years — these megatooth sharks evolved after the dinosaurs went extinct and ruled the seas until just 3 million years ago....

Although the event held in Johor Bahru by M-League organiser Football Malaysia LLP (FMLLP) on Tuesday was organised to announce a sponsorship deal that will guarantee at least RM104 million, it was ideals and values that got the most airtime during the event.

“I couldn’t stop thinking about it,” he says. After eight weekends in his lab, he sent in a solution, and before long a $20,000 check arrived. Belov still has no idea who asked the question, nor even what the substance is for. Welcome to the new face of industrial research. Scientists have long suspected that solutions to myriad problems were somewhere out there– scattered among research labs and even kitchens the world over–if only they could figure out how to find them....

Businesses need to dig deeper to learn what it is consumers want and then deliver it. People expect instantaneous responses, gratification, and personalized experiences. Without fulfilling that desire, brands are easily left behind. One in three consumers surveyed by PwC said they would leave a brand they love after one poor experience. Great experiences hinge on understanding who the customer is and why they are visiting. To provide useful and relevant messages, businesses need to understand each person in the context of their journey....

Every team that has arrived in the Final Four — Duke, Michigan State, Wisconsin and those Wildcats — has its flaws and strengths, and every team’s goal is to maximize the strengths and disguise the flaws.

So much went so wrong: The Steelers were outgained by 167 yards, rushed for only 19 yards, were shut out in the second half and converted only two of a dozen third-down opportunities. Roethlisberger threw 20 incomplete passes. “You know what? I just didn’t make enough plays. Point-blank,” Roethlisberger said. “I’ll take ownership on that game, squarely on me. I apologize to my fans, my teammates. I just wasn’t good enough....
