In fact, 17% of U.S. cat owners and 5% of dog owners are sensitized to their pets. Since many people view their pets as “part of the family,” they are reluctant to get rid of them, even if it means worse allergy symptoms. Hypoallergenic Dogs and Cats to the Rescue? Because pet allergies are so prevalent, it is quite common for people to inquire about finding a hypoallergenic dog or cat, meaning one that would produce less allergen, and therefore would cause fewer allergy symptoms than a “typical” dog or cat....

New foreign recruit Mahmoud Al Amna from Aizawl FC was on target on the day as he scored the opening goal of the match from the penalty spot. Striker V.P Suhair netted a brace and another newcomer Joby Justin was on target against the minnow. Al Amna opened the score sheet for the Red and Golds from the penalty spot. It was a calm and composed finish by the veteran Syrian....

His celebrations were a sight to behold as well. Fingers locked in the position of a man on a mission with a gun in his hand, razing down and churning over enemy lines for his side. Mohun Bagan triumphed at long last over their arch-rivals East Bengal in a thrilling tie at the Kanchenjunga stadium in Siliguri, to set themselves up perfectly for an I-League title push. Norde’s whirling free-kick, many will attest, had the speed of a projectile from the aforementioned rifle’s nuzzle....

It did not matter they were down by a goal early on against Lajong. They kept chipping away until a goal materialised and held on for dear life until the long whistle from Pranjal Banerjee heralded a shift in the tectonic plates of Indian football. Interestingly, Khalid Jamil’s side were forced to fight tooth and nail for the crown without their skipper Alfred Jaryan, who was suspended for this game....

Kickoff is at 19:05 IST. PREDICTED LINE-UPS: TEAM NEWS: DSK SHIVAJIANS Injured: None Suspended: None Doubtful: Key Player: Juan Quero AIZAWL FC Injured: None Suspended: None Doubtful: Lalruatthara Key Player: Mahmud Al-Amenah

East Bengal and Mohun Bagan are embroiled in Indian football’s longest standing rivalry that has stayed relevant for almost a century now and the proposal to use the arch-rival’s infrastructure for their I-League home games was seen as a humiliation by a majority of the Red and Gold fans. East Bengal official Debabrata Sarkar had earlier expressed his interest in hosting the club’s home matches in I-League at Mohun Bagan ground if permitted by the All India Football Federation (AIFF)....

Under pressure after suffering six back-to-back losses, Santosh Kashyap started with a 4-2-3-1 formation for the face-off against heavyweights Mohun Bagan. However, one big surprise was the exclusion of youngster Hitesh Sharma. The 19-year-old wasn’t named in the 18 man squad altogether. As for the visitors, Jeje Lalpekhlua was given a rest by gaffer Sanjoy Sen following a goalless draw against arch-rivals East Bengal. Re-LIVE: Mumbai FC 0-0 Mohun Bagan...

Earlier this week, the bottom-placed I-League outfit had sacked Santosh Kashyap following a winless run of twelve games. Kashyap did himself no favours by antagonizing the fans and getting labelled a ‘snake’ by them. Bruzon’s previous dalliance with the city of Mumbai was when he was the assistant coach of Indian Super League outfit Mumbai City FC, as part of Nicolas Anelka’s staff. However, a fallout with the former Chelsea man meant that Bruzon resigned midway through the season....

Kashyap’s arrival was expected to shoo away the relegation battles of the then Steven Dias-led side but the gaffer’s journey wasn’t a merry ride. His woe-filled episode in Mumbai kick-started with the departure of fan favourites Jayesh Rane and Ashutosh Mehta to current table leaders Aizawl FC. The failure to retain the key duo meant that the franchise had lost two of its stellar performers in the recent times....

Commenting on the victory, head coach V Soundararajan expressed his joy stating that it was a memorable day for his side. “This was the best match; beating Mohun Bagan feels like being a champion of a World Cup! It was pretty decent to beat them with ten members; it is a wonderful moment in my life,” he commented. Soundararajan mentioned that the Mariners were stronger than his team in every department and hence, he went into the game expecting a point....

Speaking about the game, Churchill coach Alfred Fernandes said, “We are going good and we have a lot of quality in the team. Hopefully, the success of the team will continue and we have a very respectable position by the end of the season. They were playing with a back five so it was difficult for us to get the opening. When we got the openings, the luck was not there....

The Punekars had a disappointing season having collected 17 points from as many fixtures. Dave Rogers will surely make a handful of changes from the side which was thrashed by The Blues. However, the back four will most likely remain the same with the likes of Kolunji and McFaul operating as centre-backs and Chhetri and Lalrinzuala guarding the either sides of the defence. As for the visiting side, Surinder Singh and company will look to avoid finishing on the last position in the league after having missed out on a spot in the Federation Cup....

This may not be a common public position for a Texas Republican politician, but it reflects majority opinion in the state, including majorities of Republicans and Democrats, and people of every race and every major faith tradition. As speaker of the Texas House of Representatives from 2009-19, I tried to be a listener and a consensus-builder focused on improving people’s daily lives, rather than on extreme polarization. Over the years, I have watched Texans grow and learn and change on LGBTQ rights....

I’m a Hispanic American from a working-class neighborhood. I’m also a progressive. But this hasn’t stopped me from noticing a trend in recent years that goes a long way toward explaining why Latinos are defecting for the GOP: It’s because Democrats don’t take Latino voters seriously. I live in Chula Vista, California, a 20 minute drive from the Mexican frontier. My city’s population is 60 percent Hispanic, and while Chula Vista maintains a steadfast blue majority, people here are socially conservative, or at least fairly traditional....

Zidane has overseen four consecutive draws in all competitions ahead of Saturday’s away match against Real Betis in La Liga. The former France international has been limited in what he can do with his squad as the vast majority have been away on international duty, but he believes his players have come back with the right mindset. Zidane stressed hard work would be his remedy with Madrid facing another four fixtures before the end of the month....

Every time over the past two weeks we hear a plane take off, my mother tells me it is the sound of being left behind. It is the sound of people leaving, people dying and people falling from the skies. But while most of the world focuses on the horrific events at the Kabul airport, most of the 5 million other people who live in Kabul—like me and my family—are quietly preparing for what will happen after the last American plane leaves....

As someone who represents a congressional district with the highest percentage of active-duty military personnel, I understand the toll that endless wars have on our communities. I have also seen firsthand how President Trump solemnly receive the remains of our fallen heroes. While President Obama (a Nobel Peace Prize winner) had the unfortunate distinction of becoming the first commander-in-chief to serve all eight years in active combat, President Trump has reduced our troop presence by thousands around the world, including in Afghanistan and Syria....

But the 34-year-old received news he didn’t expect — or want to hear — when he arrived at Royals camp. General manager Dayton Moore, manager Ned Yost and pitching coach Cal Eldred informed him he would serve as a relief pitcher moving forward. From an organizational perspective, it made sense for Kansas City to try something else. Kennedy had pitched to a 5.06 ERA the previous two years, and his durability waned in that time....

The enigmatic frontman took the call to head into international retirement at the end of Euro 2016. He has, however, suggested that he would be willing to return to the fold for one final outing for his country on the grandest of stages. A commercial partnership with gambling platform Bethard has threatened to scupper those plans – as a result of FIFA regulations relating to betting – but Ibrahimovic insists nothing will prevent him from being in Russia if he decides to take that path....
