A Disgrace I Will Never Forget Wenger Savages Arsenal Critics

The Gunners have endured a largely difficult season in the Premier League, with their fifth-place finish ensuring that they missed out on Champions League qualification. They also suffered a humiliating 10-2 aggregate defeat to Bayern Munich in the last 16 of Europe’s elite club competition and a 2-0 home defeat to Southampton in the quarter-final of the EFL Cup. A growing number of fans have called for Wenger not to be given an extension to the contract that expires next month, with ‘Wenger Out’ banners appearing at matches and events around the world and airplanes carrying banners both for and against the manager’s exit having been flown over The Hawthorns during Arsenal’s defeat to West Brom in March....

A Family Affair

Funny as ““The Daytrippers’’ is–especially when the clan’s pursuit of the elusive Louis leads them into the company of families even loopier than their own–the movie’s tone is ultimately more bittersweet than knee-slapping. Mottola knows all too well the maddeningly regressive dynamics of a family trapped too long in its own company. The characters may start as cartoons, but by the end our judgments about everyone have been revised and deepened....

A Foreigner S Guide To The Hungarian Elections Opinion

Much has been written with preconceived political notions in English-language media, but relatively little of it comes from a position of local knowledge. Here are the key points for foreigners who would like to know more about this critical election. First, some important background: the Hungarian parliament includes 199 representatives, 106 of whom represent the country’s local constituencies through a first-past-the-post process. The remaining 93 seats are awarded proportionally among the parties that win at least five percent of the vote....

A Free Press For Sale

Parfyonov’s public stand is a rare display of integrity. For the most part, Russia’s media are partners in their own suppression. Many journalists censor themselves in anticipation of what the government wants–a skill honed in Soviet times. Less well-known is the system of zakazukha, where companies pay publications or individual journalists for positive coverage–or no coverage at all. Media expert Aleksey Pankin, editor of the Sreda trade magazine, estimates that of the country’s 7,500 newspaper, TV and radio outlets, only about 200 don’t take money on the side....

A Gen 5 Pokemon Legends Game Would Make A Lot Of Sense

Despite the fact that there are heaps of interesting stories and lore in the Pokemon universe, Sinnoh (and hence Hisui) was the perfect region for a Pokemon Legends game because Arceus is a god-like figure that created the know universe. However, another fantastic setting for a similar game is the Unova region from Pokemon Black and White, mainly thanks to two specific elements: the so-called Original Dragon and the Heroes of Truth and Ideals....

A Health Hazard Could Your Shoes Be The Cause Of Your Pain

Flip-Flops Inexpensive, convenient and cool in the summer, when the weather turns warm, the flip-flops come out. With a mere strap positioned between the toes to keep them from falling off, the constant gripping motion imparted on the foot inhibits the arch to flex normally. The action also prevents the foot from pushing off normally when stepping forward. Testing revealed that under these conditions, the knees and hips absorb more impact than normal, while the backs of legs and buttocks remain virtually unaffected and unused....

A League Review Harold Seals Perth Glory Point In Spectacular Melbourne City Stalemate

The home side took the lead three times only to be pegged back by the visitors on each occasion in an enthralling contest at AAMI Park. Bruno Fornaroli scored twice for City after Tim Cahill’s early goal but also missed two of his three penalties in the 90 minutes, including one in second-half injury time that followed straight red cards for Dino Djulbic and Fernando Brandan. Diego Castro hit a double for Glory and Chris Harold grabbed the final equaliser to deny City the chance to climb above rivals Melbourne Victory into third in the table, while the visitors remain six points further back in sixth....

A Life And Death Puzzle

Riezenman contacted the Texas Department of Health, which in turn alerted the national Centers for Disease Control, in Atlanta. CDC officials knew that anencephaly, although rare, occurs naturally at a rate of around three or four per 10,000 live births in the United States. A cluster of five cases, in Brownsville, a city of around 100,000, could be a statistical anomaly, but perhaps nothing more than that. Few were prepared for what the CDC found: that in 1989 and 1990 (and continuing up to the present) Brownsville and surrounding Cameron County had an incidence of anencephaly five times the national average....

A classic that, on rereading, disappointed: “The Catcher in the Rye,” by J. D. Salinger. As an adult, I have no use for it.

A Dea Visit A Psychedelic Plant And A Controversy Bloom At Miami University

In December, Miami University Provost Phyllis Callahan suspended tenured Professors John Cinnamon and Daniel Gladish. Months later, they were informed their positions could be terminated, causing an uproar from the academic community. Cinnamon and Gladish’s employment was called into question after the Miami University Police Department and Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) found an Iboga tree in the Hamilton Campus Conservatory. Native to Gabon, Africa, the alkaloid ibogaine occurs naturally in the shrub and, in large doses, can induce a psychedelic state....

And as for the thing she most didn’t want – a criminal charge in the attack on Kerrigan, which her ex-husband and former bodyguard have admitted plotting – numerous predictions that she was about to be hauled off in handcuffs turned out to be premature. Prosecutors last week said they expected to take no action until after the Olympics, removing at least one possible barrier to the thing she has said she wants most of all: an Olympic gold medal....
