As Emery arrived with a fairly impressive CV and a haul of Europa League trophies, the supporters at the Emirates were filled with a sense of anticipation and eagerness to witness the tactical and pragmatic approach of the newly appointed coach. Fast forward to November 2019, the club seems to be in a bigger mess than the one Wenger left them in. So what led to this remarkable disarray that has led to Arsenal’s worst start to a league season since 1982-83 and has essentially made the fans more alienated from the club than ever before....
His analysis, posted online at the Nautilus Institute, a Berkeley, Calif., geopolitical think tank ( www.nautilus.org ), asserts that North Korea would enhance its own national security, gain critical economic assistance and avoid American-initiated “regime change” by exploding one of the handful of A-bombs in its arsenal. He says Pyongyang has good reason to bet that none of the region’s big powers—the United States, China, Russia and Japan—will do more than voice strenuous objections and impose symbolic punishments....
While the rapid section is not conclusive final standing in the tournament, Anand now faces a daunting task as he has a huge ground to cover in the Blitz section that will have eighteen games in all with one point awarded for each victory.

DOHA (Reuters) - Workers in Qatar renovating a 2022 World Cup stadium have suffered human rights abuses two years after the tournament’s organisers drafted worker welfare standards in the wake of criticism, Amnesty International said. Dozens of construction workers from Nepal and India were charged recruitment fees by agents in their home countries, housed in squalid accommodation and barred from leaving the country by employers in Qatar who confiscated their passports, Amnesty said in a report released on Thursday....

Who is the hacker ruining Among Us? A quick note about this hack: the hacker in question is doing this to seek attention, partially for his/her YouTube channel, as well as for political influence (it’s an election year in America). I would advise that anyone who reads this does not give the hacker any more attention. There is an old adage that states that there is no such thing as bad publicity....

The Roman Catholic Church and Orthodox Jewish synagogues in the Brooklyn and Queens borough of New York City had sued to challenge attendance limits at houses of worship in areas that were harder hit by the virus. Attendance was capped at 10 and 25 people for red and orange zones, respectively. However, the ruling won’t have an immediate impact as the two groups are in areas now designated as yellow zones, where houses of worship can hold services at 50 percent of their maximum occupancy....
On Monday, the Supreme Court heard oral arguments in the 303 Creative LLC v. Elenis case, which was brought to the Court by a web designer based in Colorado. The designer, 38-year-old Lorie Smith, filed a lawsuit against Colorado arguing that she has the First Amendment right to deny same-sex couples of her services because of her own religious beliefs. During a portion of the oral arguments, Barrett spoke about possible hypothetical similar cases, such as a newspaper that would only promote same-sex marriage announcements, instead of promoting both same-sex and opposite-sex marriages announcements....
The former Jeopardy! champ, 42, in February took to her social media accounts to announce that she and Davis, 25, were set to take a trip down the aisle while also revealing that the two had proposed to one another days apart. And in a recent interview with the Los Angeles Times, Schneider—who was the first of the two to say yes—revealed that the couple had already decided ahead of time that they would get engaged in February as it was a special month for them....
The hardest part was actually finding the bathroom. There are 86 public lavatories in the Lindbergh terminal of the Minneapolis-St. Paul airport, and every employee I asked sent me to a different one. I finally found it: across from the food court, in the shadow of a giant statue of Snoopy and Woodstock. There was no sign on the door, nothing that read “Larry Craig was here.” I waited until late to go inside, figuring that foot traffic would die down and I could minimize the awkward stares....
For Yeltsin, North Ossetia is a nightmare come true. The Russian president has struggled for months to contain ethnic unrest in the former Soviet republics. But it now has spread into Russia for the first time since the Soviet Union broke up. In October, locals say, an Ossetian tank accidentally ran over and killed a boy from the Ingush ethnic minority. Ingush civilians retaliated, and the resulting violence has already left 261 dead and 584 wounded....
‘Wayne Rooney leaves Manchester United’. These five words feel like a trumpet of doom. These five words kill what was little left of the team Sir Alex built at Old Trafford. These five words, in all likelihood, are never going to be forgotten by a true red. These five words end an era of 13 years. 13 years of utmost passion, strength and leadership. In 2004 summer transfer window, Sir Alex had said, “there were plenty of eyebrows raised” for the transfer of an 18-year-old to a club of this stature....
I never thought that I would be writing this to you, but today, here I am, penning probably the toughest letter I have ever written in my life. And as I am pouring out my thoughts to you, tears are rolling down my cheeks. That’s how much you mean to me, and millions of others in the WWE. You see Taker, Father Time is extremely cruel. You don’t know when exactly he will raise his ugly hood....
The 39 year old has been missing since New Year’s Day, while her husband—convicted conman Brian Walshe—has been charged with misleading investigators after allegedly lying about his whereabouts on January 2. It has transpired that Ana Walshe had once called the police in fear that Brian Walshe was going to kill her after he allegedly threatened her and a friend. Photos have also emerged showing the mom-of-three with facial injuries, although there is no evidence her husband was responsible....
The player in question here is Lille midfielder and French under-21 international Boubakary Soumaré, who, if reports are to be believed, will be moving to the Premier League in January and who will be choosing between Manchester United and Chelsea. In this piece, we are going to take a look at how he would fit in under Frank Lampard, were he to choose west London over Manchester. Soumaré has been described to the general public as “Paul Pogba but without the baggage,” and while that is quite a charming and succinct way as any other to put forward one’s assessment of an individual, it is, to put it bluntly, inaccurate and lazy journalism....
However, if prior years are any indication, the annual flood of triple-A titles in November typically washes a few into the following year. According to industry analyst Michael Pachter, it’s possible that Saints Row: The Third and fan-favorite Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim are the most susceptible to a possible 2012 bump. In addition to Skyrim and Saints Row, a number of studios will be attempting to maximize their holiday shopper potential with releases such as Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary, Need for Speed: The Run, Assassin’s Creed Revelations, and the Metal Gear Solid HD Collection - not to mention late-October releases Batman: Arkham City and Battlefield 3....
