Juventus, who started with a line-up including the likes of Andrea Pirlo, Gianluigi Buffon, Carlos Tevez, Fernando Llorente, Patrice Evra and Paul Pogba, were seen trailing a goal behind following a goal from Marcelo Carrusca within the first ten minutes of the match. Marcelo Carrusca opening the tally for the All Star team Fernando Llorente scores the equaliser Tomi Juric scores in the final 15 minutes of the game Gianluigi Buffon’s incredible save denying a chance from Besart Berisha However, the match wasn’t over yet, as the All Star players would have anticipated as a poor clearance from Michael Thwaite resulted in a late equaliser from Paul Pogba, followed by a winner from Simeone Pepe who scored from a long-range effort during additional time....

So it was no wonder that the several thousand delegates from 180 countries who gathered last week in Dakar, Senegal, for the World Education Forum received only a bit of good news and lots more bad news. On the positive side, since 1990, the number of children in primary school has increased by 100 million to 700 million. In particular, East Asia, the Pacific states and much of the Caribbean and Latin America had achieved virtually universal primary education....

With six silver and two bronze medals from the Olympics, the Asian country is in seventh place in the badminton medal table. Malaysian badminton’s history at the Olympics Despite its dominance through Lee Chong Wei, Malaysia has one glaring miss — a gold medal. Had it not been for the countless heartbreaks suffered by Chong Wei, Malaysia would have won a coveted gold medal by now. Other than the 38-year-old, the only other singles shuttler whom Malaysian badminton could pin hopes on was Rashid Sidek....

I know it sounds silly to say that a trillion-dollar trust fund is useless. Let me explain why that’s the case. Let’s say that you set up a $1 million trust fund to pay for your retirement. But instead of putting in $1 million of cash or stocks, you give the fund a $1 million I.O.U. from yourself. When your Golden Years arrive, you want the million bucks. To get it, you need to fork over $1 million to redeem the I....

He’s not alone in that assessment. Many Argentine business people and economists have put aside their initial reservations about Kirchner, a left-of-center Peronist who took office five months ago. During his brief tenure Kirchner has nailed down an agreement with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) that rolled over more than $12 billion in loans for the next three years and established unusually flexible fiscal targets for the government. The president won more plaudits at home when he served notice on the mostly foreign private holders of Argentine government bonds that they can expect to lose at least 75 percent of their investment....

An old jinx could be disproved, and history would be written if Mendelssohn wears the garland of red roses. The 20-horse field for Saturday’s 144th Run for the Roses includes a handful of top contenders who have been consistent this spring. Justify was the 7-2 favourite in early wagering Friday. Trained by Baffert, the Southern California colt, however, is green, with just three starts. “We have a good enough horse that can win it, but it’s a very competitive race,” Baffert said....

After eight years in which he restored the University of Kentucky to college-basketball pre-eminence, Pitino, 45, has been called upon to perform another salvage job–this time on the NBA’s most storied franchise. There was not a glimmer of Celtics glory, past or future, in the last season’s 15-67 team. But in six months at the helm, Pitino has transformed the franchise. Boston’s roster is the youngest in NBA history; the eight new faces on the floor Friday averaged under 23 years old with less than one season of NBA experience....

Not only is that case still unsolved, a lawsuit brought by the victim, Alexander Bradley, against Hernandez has yet to go to trial. As was the case when the civil suit was filed in federal court in June 2013 — a week before Hernandez was arrested for Odin Lloyd’s murder in Massachusetts — Bradley has not pressed charges against Hernandez, but has named him as the shooter in the suit....

Administration sources say, however, there will be one big change in tactics: this time around, they intend to seize control of the rhetorical debate and keep the Republicans from doing to health care what they did to Clinton’s ill-fated economic-stimulus plan. White House sources say Congress will likely get the blueprint in September. Step two, they say, could follow quite quickly. But some sources caution that the plan is so exhaustive it may not be released until January 1994, to coincide with the State of the Union address....

As a foreign observer, I can only admire how democracy prevailed, two weeks after the riots at the Capitol. It is both an inspiration and a hope. Yet the challenges we face are daunting: a deadly pandemic, an economic crisis and the need to reunify our societies and acknowledge that what brings us closer is stronger than what pulls us apart. But what is somewhat new now is international cooperation....

One way that Niantic looked to keep fans interested in Pokemon GO was through the introduction of in-person live events. Sometimes these are smaller-scale Safari Zone events, but once a year, the company hosts a huge GO Fest event. Pokemon GO Fest 2020 just recently concluded, and so we thought it would be interesting to take a look back at what each GO Fest event brought to the table....

Review bombing is a mass action where a large group of people will leave negative user reviews for a game, usually on either its Metacritic or Steam page. Often these review bombs are completely unrelated to the game’s content and are politically motivated or a response to a developer/publisher statement or action. Sometimes games will be review bombed before release, proving that these actions often have very little to do with the game itself and act as either a form of protest....

The Steam Deck is not Valve’s first attempt at creating a console for PC players. The console market is a crowded space with Microsoft, Sony, and Nintendo all vying for attention. Valve has cornered the PC market with its Steam storefront, but it has also wanted a piece of the console market. The Steam Deck marks Valve’s second game console attempt, and third attempt at hardware for TV. RELATED: Steam Deck’s Latest Developer Update is a Promising Sign for Multiplayer Games...

Still, the intersection of guests at the July 4 party at the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad said a lot about the cross-section of Iraqi politics. U.S. soldiers, Muslim clerics and sheikhs rubbed shoulders over their finger food. American embassy staff buzzed around their Iraqi government contacts. There were Shiites and Kurds, diplomats and troops from Australi, Britain, Poland and elsewhere, but few Sunni Arab Iraqis–who are currently boycotting most of their minority posts in the government....

Carl Valeri’s rash tackle on City’s Michael Jakobsen inside the first 20 second sparked pushing and shoving between the sides and referee Peter Green had brandished three yellow cards by the 12th minute. Rhys Williams became the third Victory player into the book for a scissoring challenge in the 32nd minute that forced Osama Malik to limp off with a hip problem. Replacement Marcin Budzinski made a swift impact by clattering his maiden City goal into the roof of the net in first-half stoppage time....

Traditionally, a DVD is written by using a lens to focus laser light. The thinner the beam, the more information the laser can etch on the disc. For years, scientists have manipulated the lens to narrow the beam, reaching a minimum of 405 billionths of a meter. The Harvard team takes a new path that does not use a lens. Instead, they place two tiny gold rods on the end of the laser, creating an antennalike device....

Also Read: Soul’s run in PMCO Global Finals Entity Gaming came all guns blazing to the PMCO Fall Split Global. Through several interviews and past performances, it was clear that the Indian team will approach the Global Finals with an aggressive mindset. Their aggressive play style and “never back down” approach got them the 1st place in the Regional Finals, and there was no reason to change that. Entity Gaming performed exceptionally throughout Day 1, and as a result, they held the 3rd position in the overall standings....

Megalodons are prehistoric predatory fish that are believed to be big enough to eat a whale, according to reports. Newsweek reported the megalodon’s mouth opened to 11 feet wide and was lined with as many as 276 teeth. That makes megalodon fossil discoveries somewhat common, as the prehistoric predators lost a set of teeth every fortnight, equaling 40,000 teeth in its lifetime. Although Megalodon teeth are frequently discovered, a full megalodon jaw has never been discovered....

Young Sachin was a typical Mumbai child, juggling between playing local cricket in Bandra and going to school in Bandra and Dadar throughout his childhood. It was at age 14 when his talent was recognized at the MRF Pace Academy and upon receiving advice from Dennis Lillee, the youngster shifted his focus to batting. This switch brought him laurels as he went from strength to strength and smashing a century in his debut match for Bombay....
