Abraham missed the game after suffering a hip injury in Chelsea’s 2-2 draw with Valencia on Wednesday, and Olivier Giroud took his place in the starting line-up against West Ham. Lampard also dropped N’Golo Kante to the bench and watched as West Ham exploited large gaps in the midfield to pick up their first win in eight Premier League matches. Chelsea will face Aston Villa at Stamford Bridge in midweek before travelling to Goodison Park to play Everton on Saturday, and Lampard indicated he would not make knee-jerk reactions to his side’s second home defeat of the league season....

With the massive bump in players, there has seemingly been no shortage of clips and videos showcasing some skill and occasionally accidental gameplay moments during multiplyaer matches or Warzone 2.0. One clip in particular featured a ‘1 in a million’ moment where a Modern Warfare 2 player actually is able to kill themselves with their own grenade from across the map. The latest viral clip seemingly takes things to a whole new level of absurdity....

The Gladiators will be coming into this match on the back of a 7-wicket loss to the Delhi Bulls in their season opener, as despite skipper Shane Watson’s unbeaten 31-ball 57, the Gladiators’ bowlers leaked too many runs in the death overs to hand a victory to the Bulls. The Tigers, set to begin their campaign against the Gladiators will be led by Sri Lankan all-rounder Thisara Perera, with the squad featuring quite a big South African contingent comprising of the likes of Rilee Rossouw, David Wiese, Robbie Frylinck and Colin Ingram....

The American would be hoping to use the first few matches of the new season as an opportunity to assert her presence on the tour following a breakout 2020....

Fabio Borini scored the only goal of the game as the Rossoneri remain in the hunt to lift the only major European trophy that has eluded them in their illustrious history. Borini converted Patrick Cutrone’s cross in the first half to secure the Italian side - who are still yet to taste defeat in 2018 - a fourth successive win in all competitions. Yet the scorer was one of the few fringe players who grabbed the opportunity to impress coach Gennaro Gattuso, who rotated his squad ahead of Sunday’s pivotal Serie A clash with Roma....

Kucka rose highest to nod home a Jose Sosa free-kick on 16 minutes, only for Nikola Kalinic to get the visitors back on level terms almost immediately as he bagged his 11th goal of the season from close range. RUMOURS: Inter want Vidal But on 31 minutes, Deulofeu claimed what proved to be the winner, bending home his first Serie A goal from the edge of the box. The victory was a welcome one for Vincenzo Montella’s side who had picked up only eight points from their previous seven games and were seeking to avoid a third successive home defeat....

The former Atalanta midfielder was signed after Milan failed to secure Jonathan Biabiany. Bonaventura, primarily, is a central midfielder. Biabiany is a winger. Even a genius with unparalleled intelligence might fail to satisfactorily justify how Bonaventura becomes an obvious replacement to Biabiany. Unlike Bonaventura, Milan have followed Bertolacci with a sense of admiration for at least two seasons. His signature for the club seemed an undeniable inevitability. When he finally put pen to paper, the Berlusconi family were relieved of €20 million....

Chelsea manager Viveash was able to bring in experience for their first U18′s action of the season in the form of Mitchell Beeney, Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Isaiah Brown. Jeremie Boga also started as he looks to regain full match fitness. Charlie Colkett got his first start as he looks to build up his own minutes in his injury recover and Charly Musonda was to come off the bench for 30 minutes after missing the last 5 games through injury....

After the altercation in which Will Smith went on stage at the awards show and slapped presenter Chris Rock, the Academy claimed that Smith was asked to leave the event. Despite several conflicting reports that said the Academy never formally asked Smith to leave, an industry source told Newsweek that the Academy is standing by its statement. “Things unfolded in a way we could not have anticipated,” the Academy said on Wednesday....

The policy change will apply to games that were scheduled from the start of the winter sports schedule, so recent forfeits that were marked because of COVID-19 protocols will be removed. This includes the Boston College men’s basketball team’s recent forfeit against Wake Forest and the University of Miami women’s basketball team’s forfeiture against Duke University. Both men’s and women’s basketball teams are required to have at least one coach and seven players who are able to play....

The vulnerability, recorded as CVE-2022-38392, points to the music video of Janet Jackson’s 1989 classic Rhythm Nation as bringing down a specific model of hard disks. Yet, the MITRE Corporation, which helps identify and categorize vulnerabilities in software, only recently decided to list it as an issue. Although the bug isn’t new, it came into the limelight after Microsoft principal software engineer Raymond Chen blogged about it recently. “While new systems are coming out with SSDs, older hardware and software has a way of staying around well past its prime,” Chris Goettl, VP of Product Management for security products at Ivanti, told Lifewire over email....

The over-the-top behavior of the fans was matched only by the over-the-top swimming. Fifteen world records were broken during the eight days of competition–more than three times as many as in Atlanta. By the end of 32 events, only six Olympic records were still standing from the last millennium. The Aussies blasted off when Ian Thorpe broke two world records. Then the Americans kicked in: Misty Hyman clipped Madame Butterfly’s (O’Neill’s) wings in the 200-meter fly; Brooke Bennett became the Princess of Distance, winning gold in the 400- and 800-meter free, and Anthony Ervin and Gary Hall Jr....

After a nine-wicket haul in the first Test against Australia. Herath has lit up the second game too which is currently underway at Galle. His first scalp on Friday was Aussie captain Steve Smith whom he cleaned up with a slider and then he picked up a hat-trick in the 25th over.Australia were struggling at 80/4 with Adam Voges and Mitchell Marsh trying to resurrect the innings but then Herath gatecrashed their party....

Bryce Zabel: All you can do is trust the gut instincts of people who have done things before to take the pulse of the nation and figure what is going to fit at a particular time. The postponement bought us time to reevaluate what would be appropriate on a day-by-day, even minute-by-minute basis. The show is more unpredictable than ever before because in reality, when someone wins, they’re being given an open mike....

You’ve said you feel lucky to have been at Auschwitz. Please excuse me for finding that shocking. I experienced my most radical moments of happiness in the concentration camp. You cannot imagine what it’s like to be allowed to lie in the camp’s hospital, or to have a 10-minute break from indescribable labor. To be very close to death is also a kind of happiness. Just surviving becomes the greatest freedom of all....

Many of my colleagues were stunned, I think, that a fellow academic could seem normal and yet have been so deeply disturbed. They had been unaware of my psychotic manias and suicidal depressions, and it seemed to stir up discomfort that madness could be so close at hand. For that reason, however, it also stirred up–in a good way, I hope–many private and public discussions about recognizing and treating impaired doctors and other professionals....

Whilst a 4-3 win against Japan was one that showed that this new core certainly has the fighting spirit, the following game against Malaysia, showed there is much room for improvement still for a team that is currently ranked number six in the world. But, credit has to be given to the team for fighting back in grand style in their final game against New Zealand – taking the Blacksticks for a ride as they walloped them 4-0....

MORE: This Aaron Rodgers will bring Pack back to playoffs Even ESPN’s veteran sideline reporter Lisa Salters didn’t know what was going on, and most of social media had no idea either. The mini-tent became a mystery and let the mind think of wild scenarios that could be happening behind the scenes. When asked about the tent after the game, Roders provided a logical explanation. “I just didn’t want to be getting taped up on the television,” Rodgers said....
