Bolstering China’s bold political and trade agenda is a rapidly growing military force. Marine Corps Commandant Gen. James Conway traveled to China last week to meet with top military commanders. He sat down with NEWSWEEK on Thursday to discuss the unprecedented access granted by China’s secretive military. Excerpts: NEWSWEEK: In China, you met with top military officials, toured military bases and saw up close some of their battlefield capabilities. What did you see?...

Upon hearing Love had become the scapegoat for the Cavs’ struggles, the first thing that came to mind was Garry Gergich, the awkward yet lovable character from NBC’s “Parks and Recreation.” Garry — or Jerry or Larry or Terry because no one ever cares quite enough to get his name right — is often the target of the members of the Pawnee Parks and Recreation department because of his general clumsiness and tendency to put himself in ridiculous situations....

Just this week, the front-runner for the Mexico job, Miguel Herrera, called Vela "extraordinary" and declared that he would speak to him if he got the nod, while Giovani dos Santos told Marca that the 24-year-old "would add a lot of things to the national team." The consistent talk about Vela and El Tri has not gone away for two reasons that have remained constant, certainly over the past 18 months....

This message may strike American readers as an overreaction. But just an hour after my friend wrote it, a Palestinian Arab boarded an Israeli bus at the entrance of her community in Judea, located 20 minutes south of Jerusalem, took out a sharpened screwdriver and stabbed a Jewish man. The victim suffered multiple wounds, had to undergo surgery and is now, thank God, in stable condition. Another passenger, who was armed, shot the terrorist dead....

“That (stuff) is dead,” Talib pronounced, using more profane language, Tuesday afternoon after the second of their two sessions. More important than seeing another chapter of the personal feud that had blossomed when they were with the Broncos and Raiders, respectively, was seeing Talib in a Rams uniform at all. The team went all-in with their offseason moves and, after Sean McVay engineered a next-level offense in turning the Rams around last season, the defense might be the more electric, can’t-miss unit to watch....

The curriculum grew out of the infantschool movement made famous in Britain in the 1940s, where children of different ages were encouraged to choose their own projects and work at their own pace. That approach has been refined to suit New Zealand schools. Students spend time working with other children, but move quickly among groups as they master new skills. There’s still a mix of ages, but the p is to allow older children to guide younger ones and, at the same time, reinforce their own work....

Now there’s at least some good news for parents. Last week The New York Times reported preliminary results of a major, government-funded study of more than 400 teenagers. According to the Times, the study concludes that Prozac–the only antidepressant approved for kids–is indeed helpful, particularly when combined with talk therapy. The finding that drugs and talk together make for superior treatment came as little surprise to doctors. “Drugs alone are rarely sufficient for complex psychiatric disorders in children,” says Dr....

For the first time since Eduardo ‘Nelo’ Vingada took over as Malaysia’s national team head coach, the training session was held at Football Association of Malaysia (FAM) grounds at Kelana Jaya. The last two national camps were held in Johor Bahru and Melaka respectively. Only 17 players turned up on the first day of the training with six other players expected to arrive late Wednesday night. None of the Johor Darul Ta’zim (JDT) players were in attendance because of a club meeting that they had to attend while Nor Azam Azih was given a leave of absence due to family emergency....

Too much mucus is a sign of a chronic respiratory condition, acute illness, and some types of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). While mucus can be beneficial to the body, producing too much mucus can cause breathing difficulties and infection. This article explains the causes of excess mucus and how genetics and lifestyle choices can add to the problem. Common Causes Mucus is often mistaken for saliva, but the two substances are not the same....

Notre Dame is the easy answer — on the surface. The Irish are coming off a College Football Playoff appearance, and Brian Kelly returns a talented roster. Notre Dame, however, has company in the independent ranks. POWER 5 PRIMERS: ACC | SEC | B10 | B12 | P12 Army, ranked 16th in Sporting News’ preseason top 25, continues to roll under coach Jeff Monken and is looking for more after a school-record 11 wins in 2018....

This insight isn’t easy to accept. Every month, in the personal-finance magazines, you’re seduced by the promise of Funds to Buy Now!, each of them managed by a Croesus. But in money as in life, the wiser you get, the more guff you can blow away. The truth about funds on the Top Ten lists is that most of them won’t do as well as the major market indexes (an index, such as Standard & Poor’s 500-stock average, measures general market performance)....

If there was one learning from Friday’s Colombia – Ghana tie in the capital, it was that the African country is in a different league altogether. Hence, if India wants to take home a point, it needs to bag that in the second match. So, how did the Colombian outfit look like in their first test? For the majority of the match, they were dominated by the Black Starlets and the score-line was too flattering for the losing side as Ghana missed a number of sitters in the opening half an hour....

A report authored by Arvind Subramanian, the Indian government’s former chief economic adviser, and two other researchers at the Center for Global Development, a nonprofit think tank based in Washington, and Harvard University was released Tuesday and estimated excess deaths to be 3 million to 4.7 million from January 2020 to June 2021. If stated that while the precise number of deaths may “prove elusive,” the actual death toll “is likely to be an order of magnitude greater than the official count....

For all but three years since independence, Indians who were taught that democracy would produce a fair and competent government elected Nehru and his heirs. No matter how downtrodden a person was-a Bihari Harijan abused by a cruel landlord or a Muslim denied a place in a predominantly Hindu society-he or she could take that grievance to the ballot box. India was regarded-and regarded itself-as a model for developing nations....

Over 70 CV’s came in such as that of Stuart Pearce, Oscar Bruzon and Colm Toal. The AIFF appointed an advisory board which included the likes of former players Bhaichung Bhutia, I.M.Vijayan, Stand-in Technical Director Savio Madeira and India Under-17’s Chief Operating Officer Abhishek Yadav. Seven coaches were shortlisted by the AIFF before the advisory committee met. At least two members of the panel were in support of Toal stating that someone with a prior experience in Indian football would certainly help....

Desperate doctors are pleading for oxygen canisters for their dying patients on social media as the country set a new infection record for the fifth day in a row with more than 350,000. “I feel helpless because my patients are surviving hour to hour,” Dr. Gautam Singh told the Associated Press. “I will beg again and hope someone sends oxygen that will keep my patients alive for just another day....

The Stallions will once again have Antonio Lopez Habas as their head coach for the 2017-18 season, Goal can confirm. The Spaniard had penned a two-season deal with the Maratha club which would have ended in Deceber 2017. However, with the ISL expanding into a five-month affair, the deal has been further extended until June 2018. Road to U-17 World Cup: India’s progress under Luis Norton de Matos Habas led Atletico de Kolkata to win the ISL’s season one and helped them qualify for the knockout stages in the following year....
