The newest member of this rogues’ gallery is none other than President Roh Moo Hyun. Elected barely a year ago on his promise to transform national politics, the 56-year-old former human-rights lawyer has proved disappointingly familiar in office. In addition to his practical failings–a greenhorn cabinet, poor management of the economy and flip-flops on key policy issues–he has become embroiled in a widening campaign-funding scandal that’s ruined his clean-hands reputation....

Mata, Manchester United’s attacking midfielder, is a footballer first and foremost but unlike many of his contemporaries, the Spaniard is a living embodiment of the fact that football and education go hand in hand. Armed with a degree in journalism from the Universidad Politecnica de Madrid, the 29-year-old has also completed distance learning degrees in sports science, physical education and marketing. It came as no surprise when Mata announced the launch of ‘Common Goal’ in August this year, an initiative to which he pledged one percent of his salary and requested his fellow professionals in the game to do the same....

With the January transfer window approaching, every team is looking across the landscape at potential transfers to make a difference for the second half of the year and beyond. And for Chelsea, there’s one move that must happen above all else. Chelsea needs to sell Eden Hazard. Not should. Chelsea needs to sell Eden Hazard this January for the improvement of the team and club in both the short term and long term....

Mark Harris, the author of “Pictures at a Revolution: Five Movies and the Birth of the New Hollywood,” isn’t the first to note the import of that best-picture face-off. But he has much more on his mind than a 40-year-old Oscar race. In telling the story of the making of these five movies—beginning in 1963, when two young Esquire writers, Robert Benton and David Newman, begin to write their “Bonnie and Clyde” screenplay, dreaming that their cinematic idol François Truffaut would direct it (and he almost did)—Harris gives us a juicy, multilayered chronicle of a turning point in American culture....

Fissures and fistulas can both cause pain and bleeding. However, they are treated differently, so it’s important to tell them apart. This article will explain the differences between an anal fissure and a fistula and how each condition is diagnosed and treated. Symptoms An anal fissure and a fistula can have similar symptoms. Rectal bleeding and pain during bowel movements are symptoms of both conditions. But other signs and symptoms of these conditions can help differentiate between them....

Points break-down A win is awarded three points, a draw gives you one point while you get none for a loss. Right now, Atletico Madrid are leading the table with 88 points to their name having won 28 matches, drawn 4 and lost 4. They have a three-point lead over Barcelona who sit second on the table with 85 points. Real Madrid, with a match in hand, are five points behind the Rojiblancos....

PARIS (Reuters) - In the city where they are accustomed to savouring his magic, Zlatan Ibrahimovic once again failed to live up to his own exalted billing for Sweden as he went missing in their fortuitous 1-1 draw with Ireland. It might have been Ibra’s cross that Ciaran Clark headed into his own net to salvage a point for Sweden in their Euro 2016 group E clash but, otherwise, the 34-year-old Paris St....

On 2nd August, Anantapur took on Kurnool district at the main ground of the Anantapur Sports Village (ASV) in their first encounter by winning the toss and decided to bat first. The batswomen were unable to post a decent score, getting bundled out for a meagre 149 runs in their stipulated 50overs. The only bright spot in their innings was P. Pallavi’s 43 not out. The bowlers on the other hand, had their work cut out in defending the small target....

Guardiola: Lahm is a special person in my life The 33-year-old missed his side’s 1-1 draw with Schalke on Saturday due to a hamstring injury, but began training away from his Bayern team-mates on Friday. Saturday’s Bundesliga match at Ingolstadt will come too soon for Ribery and Ancelotti will keep a close eye on the influential forward ahead of Arsenal’s last-16 visit to the Allianz Arena next Wednesday. “He’s been training again since today, but it’s difficult for him to get fit for Arsenal,” he told a news conference....

Sergio Ramos is the best big-game player in the world The Portugal international joined Bayern from Benfica ahead of the 2016-17 campaign for an initial transfer fee of €35 million, but the Euro 2016 star has struggled to live up to the high expectations at the Allianz Arena. Sanches has spent much of the campaign warming the bench at the reigning Bundesliga champions and has made just 19 appearances in all competitions for Bayern, with only seven of them starts....

The Bundesliga champions had failed to win their last three games in all competitions, with Ancelotti coming under pressure ahead of the clash with Leverkusen. Bayern ended that run as goals from Thiago Alcantara and Mats Hummels sandwiched Hakan Calhanoglu’s equaliser at the Allianz Arena. It was far from a vintage Bayern performance, but head coach Ancelotti was still satisfied with a welcome three points. “That [win] was alright,” he said....

Incidents of hacking in Among Us appear to have dropped significantly While exact numbers are hard to come by, Big Boaby asked for an update on hacks in Among Us, to which Forest replied that their second wave of anti-hacking features helped prevent the now infamous “Eris Loris” hacks, while the first wave addressed more “casual hackers.” Forest did admit that there were still some bugs in the system which could occasionally kick players for hacking when they weren’t, but that overall, the system was in a good place....

On March 24, Innersloth first posted about the ongoing DDoS attack. The tweet reads that, “we have a sabotage going on lol,” followed by confirmation that Among Us will be offline while the development team is working on the problem. Innersloth did also confirm that it expected the fix to take a bit and that Among Us players should be patient. RELATED: Among Us Announces Release Dates for Imposter and Ejected Editions...

This began when Twitch decided it didn’t want to rewards streamers for doing “hot tub” streams. Amouranth, who is one of the originators of those particular kinds of streams, had her channel demonetized by Twitch earlier this week. When the ban was announced, the content creator was afraid it might be a permanent move. She announced she’d be talking to Twitch about getting her ad revenue back, but didn’t express a great deal of optimism it would happen anytime soon....

Amouranth, was banned on Twitch along with fellow “sexually-suggestive” streamer Janelle “Indiefoxx” Dagres after hosting multiple suggestive ASMR streams in the past few weeks. The prominent female content creators are two of the many who, in recent weeks, have shifted to the ASMR category after “hot-tub” streams fizzled out in popularity on the platform. After the suspensions, a former s*x worker posted a lengthy thread on Twitter explaining how the “platform has created an unsafe environment by allowing sexual content....

Over the past several years, Amouranth has had a rocky relationship with Twitch. She has had five total bans from the platform, all between September 2019 and October 2021. None of her bans have been longer than a few days, and the reasons for her bans have been somewhat ambiguous. Since then, she’s taken steps to stay within Twitch’s rules and the result has been lucrative, to say the least....

While Barrett has not explicitly ruled on abortion cases, she cast votes in Indiana cases related to abortion rights as a member of the full appeals court. After several judges determined an Indiana law, which required fetal remains to be buried or cremated following an abortion, was unconstitutional, Barrett voted to rehear the case. She also dissented when appeals court judges attempted to block an Indiana law mandating parental consent in order for a minor to have an abortion....

The Disneyization of everything began in earnest around 1989. That’s when Disney Stores rolled out nationwide, hawking Goofy neckties and plush Pluto dolls, and when the company launched Hollywood Records, a pop/rock label. “This is the ’90s,” said CEO Michael Eisner, “the decade we reinvent the Disney experience not just in California, but worldwide.” Today, there are more than 300 Disney Stores, including a superstore on the Champs-Elysees. The merchandise – Mermaid dolls, Aladdin undies and collectibles like a sculpture of “Bambi’s” Field Mouse – account for a stunning 20 percent of Disney’s operating income....
