He has plundered runs for fun in the Domestic season, in 38 First class matches he has smoked bowlers north and south. With 3366 runs at an astounding average of 55.18, Iyer is quintessential from the Mumbai batting brigade, it could be fair to say that the ‘Khadoos’ word used with Mumbai cricket has been given a new definition by Iyer. He saunters out, takes guard and does not care about reputations....
My psychiatrist uses this scale to gage my mood. I am 30 years old, and have suffered from depression on and off (more on) for the past 13 years. It started when I was in high school. I would come home from school and fall into bed. I wanted, and was able, to sleep for hours. And I cried a lot, for no reason. That year was hard. I didn’t understand the sadness and almost ridiculous sense of desperation that crept around my stomach daily....
Isabel, the psychic, had arms full of bangle bracelets that clacked together as she took a turn with each of us, holding our hands to tell our future. My friend Lisa was told that a tall man was in her future, which wound up being true of her 6-foot-2 husband. Angela, it was predicted, would spend time in the South, which came true when she attended law school at the University of Virginia....
Now new evidence from the sunken ship is bubbling to the surface, leading some to suspect Pyongyang might have been hiding something. A recent underwater reconnaissance mission to the wreck by the Japanese Coast Guard has revealed that the ship was heavily armed with surface-to-air missiles, antiaircraft guns and rocket-propelled grenade launchers. The discovery has infuriated Pyongyang, which has been accusing Tokyo of fabricating a “conspiracy” story. (North Korea still denies ownership of the boat....
A large clock is located at Boney Burbs on the Fortnite battle royale map, with the clock having previously been featured at the popular Tilted Towers location. Fortnite dataminer Mang0e recently pointed out that the clock has been tweaked in the latest update. Now when Fortnite players stand next to the clock, they can hear a ticking sound that wasn’t there before, leading to some fan speculation that the clock could be teasing something for Fortnite’s future....
The research, published in The Astronomical Journal, addresses one of the most significant challenges in high-energy gamma-ray astronomy; looking for the low-energy counterparts of unidentified gamma-ray sources. These unidentified sources account for about a third of the objects found thus far by the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope (Fermi), which was launched in 2008 and observes the sky in high energy radiation from a low-Earth orbit. A blazar is created when gas around a supermassive black hole at the center of an active galaxy, known as an active galactic nucleus (AGN), is trapped by the gravitational influence of this object, which can have a mass as great as billions of times that of the sun....
Miners working in the Pilbara region spotted the strange object—which illuminated the clouds as it flew past—around 1 a.m. local time, with the glow lasting for so long that many were able to capture the event on their phones. Experts say that the object was probably not a piece of spacecraft debris falling to Earth, but rather a “fireball,” which is a very bright meteor. Meteors, colloquially known as shooting stars, are the streaks of light that we see in the sky when fragments of space rocks—asteroids or meteoroids—enter the Earth’s atmosphere....
The cause of the illness is still unknown, leaving healthcare professionals confused about why otherwise healthy children are developing serious liver disease. The new cases of hepatitis in American kids are far from the first to be reported. Early warnings of mysterious clusters of hepatitis cases in kids started coming from Europe last fall. As of early May, the World Health Organization (WHO) has reported 169 cases worldwide, with 17 children requiring a liver transplant, and one case resulting in a child’s death....
Filmed on August 30 in the waters off St. Croix near Puerto Rico, at depths of around 1,400 feet, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Ocean Exploration researchers observing couldn’t figure out what it could possibly be, other than that it was some sort of animal. “It’s a possibility that it [is a soft coral],” one of the researchers can be heard saying in the video. “We’re still not sure....
The two Nord Stream pipelines emerged as a tense point in relations between Russia and the rest of Europe amid the Russia-Ukraine war. Many Western nations have sanctioned Russian oil, leading to economic unease and higher gas prices in a bid to weaken Moscow’s economy. The pipelines were intended to transport gas from Russia to Germany across the Baltic Sea. On Monday, gas from the Nord Stream 2 pipeline—which had its construction halted in February prior to Russian President Vladimir Putin launching an invasion on Ukraine—spilled into the Baltic Sea near Denmark after experiencing a drop in pressure, according to a report from Reuters....
“I’ll bet John Elway is somewhere laughing his butt off!” was the general theme. In so many words, the notion was set in concrete: Elway let Osweiler walk away from the Super Bowl champion Broncos last offseason and, boy, that shows how much smarter he is than everyone else. Genius quarterback, genius general manager. IYER: Osweiler whiff costs Texans more than money The concrete never got a chance to harden....
The Australian clobbered four sixes and 10 fours in an opportunistic innings as the hosts chased down a mammoth 189 with two deliveries to spare. Their eventual score of 194 for four batting second eclipsed the previous record of 189 for eight scored by the Durban Heat to beat the same Tshwane side last season. Dunk was not alone in his exploits and he was helped by Marco Marais (38 off 22 balls), with whom he shared what proved to be a match-winning 86-run unbroken fifth-wicket stand with – one that came from just seven overs....
Chelsea 13/8 for clean sheet v Man U Blues manager Antonio Conte has managed Kante carefully and consulted him before excluding him from the matchday squad in the loss at the Stadio Olympico.

The 26-year-old injured his hamstring while away with France in the early October international break as he was substituted early by Didier Deschamps against Bulgaria....
A Monday court filing from James sought documents and testimony from Trump, Donald Trump Jr. and Ivanka Trump in relation to New York’s civil investigation of the former president and the Trump Organization. James’ office later said that “a motion to quash upcoming interviews” of the Trumps had been filed by Trump family lawyers but would ultimately be unsuccessful. “Donald Trump, Donald Trump Jr., and Ivanka Trump are trying to stop my office from interviewing them under oath as part of our investigation into the Trump Organization and Mr....
The Spaniard has reached three deciders in 2017 but lost on each occasion, including going down 6-3 6-4 to Federer on Sunday. Nadal was also beaten by his Swiss rival in the Australian Open final, while he lost to Sam Querrey in Acapulco.

Rafael Nadal crashed to his worst Grand Slam defeat in seven years on Thursday when Czech journeyman Lukas Rosol, the world number 100, pulled off one of the greatest upsets in Wimbledon history.

Some of the demonstrators wore nothing but “spit hoods” as they gathered outside the Public Safety Building to protest Daniel Prude’s death, WHEC reported. A spit hood, which is designed to protect police from saliva, had been placed on Prude’s head by Rochester Police officers while they detained him on March 30.

The announcement from the speaker, made at a press event after talking privately with colleagues in two separate meetings, marked a pivotal moment for the chamber’s ongoing “impeachment investigations”—as Democrats have labeled them for months in ongoing litigation. It marked the first time Pelosi has publicly supported a process that could end with President Donald Trump’s impeachment. The tipping point for House Democrats as a caucus arrived in the wake of news reports—and even partial admissions by the president himself—in recent days that he allegedly pressured a foreign country to investigate a political rival, going so far as to temporarily withhold hundreds of millions of dollars in military aid....
