Allegri’s bust-ups with Juve stars Allegri has clashed with a number of his own players in recent weeks, while he has also been linked to the Arsenal manager’s job as Arsene Wenger’s potential successor. But Lippi, who has twice managed Juve, expects Allegri to stay in Italy and does not believe the former AC Milan boss is suffering from the same “burnout” he experienced at Guangzhou Evergrande. “Will [Allegri] be burnt out like I was in China?...
Sneaky pays: the “bar auditing” business is growing fast. Toronto-based Bevinco has sold about 175 U.S. franchises, and it plans to add 500 more pub patrollers and launch a public stock offering. Bevinco’s trying to corner a huge market. About 20 percent of a bar’s sales are unaccounted for because of overpouring, unauthorized freebies or theft. Bevinco says it can reduce that “shrinkage” by 15 percent. (One trick it looks for: “the BYOB,” where a bartender pockets sales from a bottle he’s smuggled in....
As a practicing psychologist, I’ve worked with nonbinary, including transgender, individuals. About 10 years ago I had a patient who transitioned from female to male through hormonal treatments but without surgery. Slightly built, the only work he could find was in a warehouse, where he was routinely ridiculed, and finally forced to quit. My patient struggled with depression, anxiety and suicidal ideation. The challenges for transgender people were even more daunting than today; their issues weren’t yet politically correct....
Setoodeh: Did you hear the breaking news?! Is the world ending??? Ah, on second thought, scratch that. Paris might be going back to jail. The next hearing is just mere minutes away (Update: Paris intended to testify over the phone, but the judge has now ordered that she show up in person. By the time she gets dressed and arrives at the courthouse, she’ll be very late.) I know that some people say they could not care less, but I—like most of the blogosphere—am really disturbed that she got out in the first place....
According to a report from WAVE, the video was released and obtained by the outlet as part of a civil trial against the driver and Kentucky’s Jefferson County Public School district that began last week. Although the incident occurred in 2015, footage from inside the school bus has only just been released and is expected to be presented at trial. The video was shot on the school bus’ internal camera system....
A former Little Leaguer, Manfred said a diverse group of players such as the Philadelphia team and star 13-year-old girl pitcher Mo’ne Davis sends a message that baseball is a wide-open sport. “Fifty years ago people would have had a list of things women couldn’t do that was as long as your arm, and they’re doing every single one of them today, " Manfred said Wednesday night about an hour before Davis took the mound against Las Vegas....
But the advertisements it unveiled in Times Square included a typo in which the name of the office’s home state was spelled incorrectly. The billboards stated that the office is hiring 40 “lateral officers.” Other signs below them read “Spokane County Sheriff” and noted that the office was located in “Washinton State.” In Facebook post noting the new billboards, the Spokane County Sheriff’s Office said the advertisements were part of an “effort to Recruit qualified and well-trained law enforcement professionals from areas where local elected officials have not generally supported them....

MORE: Must-see Week 14 images | For Bengals, it’s as bad as it looks Mack’s biggest sack came late in the third quarter when he dropped Broncos quarterback Brock Osweiler for a safety to cut Denver’s lead to 12-9. Derek Carr and the Raiders offense were ineffective most of the day, but Carr managed to find Mychal Rivera for a 16-yard touchdown pass with 14:26 remaining to give his team the lead....
The reported mixup comes as public health authorities in the U.S. and Europe seek to boost vaccination rates of children after regulators earlier determined kids could safely get smaller doses of the inoculation. The mistake was noticed by staff at a mass vaccination center where the children came for the second dose of Pfizer’s two-shot vaccine, the Irish Examiner reported Monday. Only one of the seven children had a mild adverse effect, the paper reports, citing regulators....
But prepare for that to change, after someone captured an otter attacking a seagull, killing it by dragging it underwater to drown. The shocking footage was shared to TikTok account @zachthefisherman, where Zach usually shares clips of his catches in Canadian waters. It appears a group of friends were filming seals in the water, as they admired the creatures from what looks like a wooden dock, in Victoria. Some seagulls swimming on the surface nearby drift into shot, when from nowhere an otter shoots out of the water and clamps the gull in its jaws....
The king’s later mother, Elizabeth II, met presidents as part of her official duties as head of state but Charles often encountered U.S. commanders-in-chief in a less formal capacity. Elizabeth II passed away at Balmoral Castle, Scotland, on Thursday and has been succeeded by her eldest son. He becomes the first king since his grandfather George VI died in 1952. Here is an overview of the king’s previous meetings with U....
Mourinho: Chelsea defend a lot The 6ft 2in Swede has been a rock at the heart of a Benfica side which has opened up a four-point lead at the top of the Primeira Liga in Portugal, with only seven points dropped all season and just eight goals conceded in 15 games to date. But what do Lindelof’s individual stats look like and how does he measure up against United’s current defensive stock?...
That's exactly what the Los Angeles Kings' Black Aces did on Friday night at Staples Center. The team's practice players, called up after their minor-league seasons ended, went downstairs during the first overtime to get dressed and participate in the on-ice celebration — assuming, of course, that the Kings actually won. Thanks largely to Rangers goalie Henrik Lundqvist, that was far from a sure a thing. Posts were hit. Open nets were missed....
Vilardi collected the puck, took one look at the Panthers’ net and fired a shot that beat goalie Sergei Bobrovsky on his glove side. Ten seconds had passed and Vilardi had already scored his first NHL goal. It was a dream start to an NHL career that at times looked to be in serious jeopardy. The Kingston, Ont., native has long been a highly touted prospect. Once ranked as the No....
Golden 1 Center, home of the Sacramento Kings, will feature 23 bathrooms labeled as “all gender” when it opens this season, and a team spokesman said all 54 of the building’s 54-multiple occupancy restrooms are open to fan use, regardless of gender. “The Sacramento Kings are leading not only the NBA, but sports worldwide in building the first arena to ensure transgender fans are fully respected and welcomed,” Rick Zbur, executive director of Equality California, told the Sacramento Bee....
These leaders, of course, weren’t acting out of altruism. They knew their economies were the most competitive, so they’d profit most from liberalization. And developing countries feared that their economies would be swamped by superior Western productivity. Today, however, the tables have turned—though few acknowledge it. The West continues to preach free trade, but practices it less and less (especially in agriculture; this is why the Doha Round of trade talks is dying)....
The concert, dubbed “Shark Rock City,” served as a promotional event for Airbnb in collaboration with the Australian Marine Conservation Society. According to the event description, the low frequencies that a live rendition of songs like “I Love It Loud” attract sharks just as well as chumming. All ticket sales went to the conservation society. Research has backed up the idea that sharks are attracted to music. Live Science reported that sharks are sensitive to pulsing sounds, possibly because they are similar to the heartbeats of sharks’ prey....
TikTok user Julia posted the video on her account @elliewiththebelly1 where it was viewed 1 million times. While some viewers found the surprise amusing, others were more critical and discussed the importance of getting pets spayed and neutered. According to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA), there are medical benefits to spaying and neutering a pet, since it helps control the “pet homelessness crisis.” Spaying pets may also prevent uterine infections and breast tumors....
Black mambas – a highly venomous snake native to southern Africa – feast on kittens and small rodents. Their bite can kill a human within half an hour if left untreated. Jason Arnold, a snake catcher working in the greater Durban area, arrived at the property to remove the huge snake, measuring about 8 feet 6 inches, that had been lurking in a gutter. A video of the catch, which can be seen here, shows the snake catcher entering the property armed with a flashlight and a bag....
