The versatile defender has spent the last seven years away from his native Spain, having left Osasuna for Marseille in 2010. Conte hits out at Hazard rumours He then linked up with Chelsea in 2012 and committed to a new three-and-a-half-year contract with the Blues in December. The 27-year-old considers that agreement to be a show of his faith in the future at Stamford Bridge, but it has done little to curb speculation regarding his future....

When I was in my early twenties I moved to south Devon for art college. I was living in a semi-rural area, so going on long treks through nature with friends became a normal thing to do. I would often use the environment around me as an inspiration for my work, examining topics like the process of making paper from river reeds for my final year project. On my walks to classes, I began picking wild garlic in the woodlands during the spring....

Twelve years ago, I began a project called Writing for the Future—part of the Family Support program at Cancer Focus Northern Ireland. I wanted to create a way for young parents faced with palliative illness to record memories and collate them in photo journals: not lists of remembering how things need to be done but simple, golden memories and advice for the future; suggestions on who ho to turn to and who to trust; and the sheer, raw emotion of saying goodbye to your children and your family, a chance to at least begin the real conversations that are so often avoided and lost....

Social media has played a large role in sentencing participants in the riots, as many posts have expressed incriminating behavior in its aftermath. One example of social media’s power in these sentencings has been against participant Russell Peterson. During his sentencing, U.S. District Judge Amy Jackson read aloud Peterson’s Facebook posts in the days before and after the insurrection. In one critical post, he had said “Overall I had fun lol,” which ultimately led to his sentence of 30 days in prison....

It was January 2018, the year I was turning 40 and my fiancé David, who was sitting next to me, was nearing 47. Pregnancy hadn’t even crossed our minds. I had been taking the contraceptive pill for years. The nurse insisted on doing a routine pregnancy test, before I had an X-ray at the hospital in West Sussex, England. I gave her the urine sample and didn’t think any more of it until she returned and told us it was faintly positive....

Hazard has been in superb form this campaign and has been an integral component in Chelsea’s fine performances in the Premier League, with Antonio Conte’s side seven points clear of Tottenham atop the table. Hazard laughs off Madrid links The Belgium international’s sublime displays have earned him comparisons with five-time Ballon d’Or winner Messi, but the 26-year-old remains humble as he focuses on pleasing the fans. “For me, the real artists are [Zinedine] Zidane and Ronaldinho....

Los Blancos came back from being two goals down at the end of the first half to win 3-2 at El Madrigal. Etienne Capoue handed the hosts the lead in the fourth minute before Samuel Chukwueze doubled it in the 42nd minute. However, the 19-time Copa del Rey winners bounced back brilliantly in the second half. Goals from Vinicius Jr., Eder Militao, and Dani Ceballos secured the win for Los Blancos....

The scheme, run by the city council, promised to sell empty homes for just one pound, which equates to about one U.S. dollar and fifteen cents. But, only under the condition that residents already lived or worked in Liverpool, remained in the house for five years and refurbished the property to a set of building regulations in the U.K. called the Decent Homes Standard within twelve months. At the time, I was living in cheap shared accommodation and naively thought: “Wow, they’ve giving away free houses....

I had been looking at different types of airplanes to transform into a restaurant, including a Boeing B-52 Stratofortress—but the wingspan is too long and the fuselage is too narrow. Then, I came across the Boeing KC-97 Stratofreighter, a U.S. Air Force tanker aircraft, which is a pretty big plane. I had been looking at several of these Boeing KC-97 planes, but the one I eventually bought came from Fort Worth, Texas....

In 2018 I had a relationship breakdown and I wasn’t in a great place generally. At the same time, I realized there wasn’t a reasonable way for me to have the space I wanted to live in and have it be the quality I wanted it to be. So I decided to build a tiny house. It became a really good energy focus when I wasn’t feeling so great about where I was in my life, and I also reasoned that building my own house would give me the skills to understand how it could be done, fix any problems and build again in the future....

“I am innocent of the charges against me,” the 31-year-old former MIT student accused of collaborating with Peru’s Tupac Amaru Revolutionary Movement (MRTA) declared in her closing statement to the court. “They have called me a terrorist, but I would say that that word has been used as part of a psychosocial campaign to generate terror. I am not a terrorist. I condemn all terrorist activity,” she said. The court was unconvinced....

Morata’s future at Juventus was the subject of speculation following the arrival of Dusan Vlahovic from Fiorentina in January. Barcelona were among the teams who were interested in signing the forward, but a deal failed to materialise. The Blaugrana eventually signed Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang from Arsenal on a free transfer in January as Morata stayed put in Turin. Morata was aware of Barcelona’s interest, and has said that he had a conversation with Juventus manager Massimiliano Allegri regarding the same....

The Frenchman returned to the Barcelona squad after a three-week absence caused by his contract dispute with the club. He has not featured for the side since their 3-2 defeat to Real Madrid in the Spanish Super Cup on January 12th. The 24-year-old was named on the bench for Sunday’s game and remained an unused substitute until the final whistle. Nevertheless, the home crowd callously heckled him when his name was called out by the public announcer before the match....

Salah failed to shine upon joining Chelsea from Basel in 2014, and was loaned out to Fiorentina and Roma, before completing a transfer to the Stadio Olimpico side in 2016. A productive spell in Serie A convinced Liverpool to part with an initial fee of €42million for the Egypt international in June. He has repaid that investment in fine style this season, scoring 41 goals in all competitions to help the Reds reach the semi-finals of the Champions League....

Speaking to media officials in Lahore, Aaqib Javed stated that even a school cricket team would not appoint Misbah-ul-Haq as its head coach. The fast bowler, who was a member of Pakistan’s World Cup-winning side in 1992, criticized the people who selected Misbah-ul-Haq and Waqar Younis for the national teams’ coaching roles. He said: The current head coach of Pakistan Super League (PSL) franchise Lahore Qalandars, Aaqib Javed dismissed the idea that he wishes to join Pakistan Cricket’s coaching set-up....

Not only were fans, celebrities, and other viewers rooting for her throughout the season, but fellow Big Brother houseguest Joseph Abdin stood by her side and supported her until the end. He beamed after Taylor made her historic speech to the jury. Speaking about her connection with Joseph, she said: The duo had a “fauxmance” in the house, but it has certainly developed into a stronger connection. In an interview with US Weekly, Taylor and Joseph opened up about their connection and their experience in the house....

Topdawg was one of the lesser-known members of Revenant Esports at the team’s inception. However, since the official launch of BGMI in India, he has slowly risen to the top. Ankit has consistently been getting the highest flags in the majority of tournaments he has played in the last couple of months and he doesn’t plan to stop soon. Watching Topdawg perform consistently at the highest levels of BGMI, fans have been wondering what goes into the making of players like him....

But after some time, I still hadn’t received my ballot, and when I checked the Tarrant County database online, my request hadn’t been processed and my name wasn’t in the system. And the county isn’t able to issue an absentee ballot unless they receive the original signed application document by mail. Because I’m a political science major, I spend so much of my time and energy telling all my friends and family how important it is to vote....

It may sound counterintuitive, but I find drinking alleviates my painful bloating and calms my body’s often false signals to run to the bathroom. I’m not sure why it has this effect on me. So, before I left the house, I poured two fingers of relief. At the airport, I had a glass of chardonnay. On the plane to Chicago, I had another. I usually drink only on weekends; typically a couple of glasses of wine or cocktails per evening....

By now, most netizens and Twitch users are aware of the debacle that took place on June 19th. Kaitlyn “Amouranth” Siragusa and Jenelle “Indiefoxx” Dagres got banned due to streaming overly sexual ASMR content. While Twitch has provided no official reason, it’s safe to assume that parameters were violated. The internet was left divided, with some suggesting that the bans were unlawful as they two broke no rules, while others stated that this was a long time coming....
