Man Utd injuries: Erik ten Hag’s defensive options after Lisandro Martinez setback

Image
Manchester United aren't the only team dealing with an injury crisis right now, but few managers will be more concerned by the fitness bug plaguing their squad than Erik ten Hag. United's injury woes have been largely condensed to one area of the pitch. Following the loss of Lisandro Martinez to a foot injury, Ten Hag has lost no fewer than five defenders, some for extended periods, and now has just five senior defenders ready to pull on the shirt. Here's a look at the options available to Ten Hag.

The looming government shutdown could affect Fat Bear Week -- the annual celebration of wild bears who put on weight to prepare for hibernation. Call it potentially "unbearable" -- at least for wildlife fans.

FA delay implementation of new FIFA agency regulations

The Football Association have delayed the proposed introduction of FIFA’s new agent regulations which were due to be implemented on October 1. The new worldwide regulations see a number of changes being brought into the game, namely the representation of players by family members, the representation of more than one party on a deal and the caping of fees that an agent can be paid on any deal. Agents will also need to sit an exam to obtain a licence that will be required to be able to work on any transfer in the world. However, the FA have now been forced to delay their plans to adopt the new FIFA rules after leading British-based agencies CAA Base, Wasserman, Stellar and ARETE launched proceedings to challenge the introduction of the new regulations. A tribunal is hearing the case, but a decision is not expected until the end of November and the FA have now agreed to wait on this decision. An FA statement confirmed: “The FA agrees that the implementation date of the National Football

Archaeologists discover 72 million-year-old gіаnt dinosaur tail in Mexico desert

Image
MEXICO CITY (Reuters) – A team of archaeologists have discovered the fossilized remains of a 72 million-year- old dinosaur tail in a desert in northern Mexico, the country’s National Institute for Anthropology and History (INAH) said on Monday. Apart from being unusually well preserved, the 5 meter (16 foot) tail was the first ever found in Mexico, said Francisco Aguilar, INAH’s director in the border state of Coahuila. The team, made up of archaeologists and students from INAH and the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM), identified the fossil as a hadrosaur, or duck-billed dinosaur. The tail, found near the small town of General Cepeda, likely made up half the dinosaur’s length, Aguilar said. . Archaeologists found the 50 vertebrae of the tail completely intact after spending 20 days in the desert slowly lifting a sedimentary rock covering the creature’s bones. Strewn around the tail were other fossilized bones, including one of the dinosaur ’s hips, I

Mikel Arteta points to one thing Arsenal were missing against Tottenham

Image
Mikel Arteta admitted his side lacked the cutting edge needed to see off rivals Tottenham Hotspur in the north London derby. A brace from Son Heung-min allowed Spurs to leave the Emirates Stadium with a well-deserved 2-2 draw, maintaining Ange Postecoglou's unbeaten start to life as a Premier League manager. Arsenal also remain unbeaten, having won four and drawn two of their opening six Game s, but the Gunners were left frustrated by their inability to hold onto the lead twice given to them by Cristian Romero's own goal and Bukayo Saka's penalty. Jorginho, a half-time substitute for the injured Declan Rice, was directly at fault for Spurs' second goal, and Gabriel Jesus was guilty of a glaring miss in the first half after robbing James Maddison of possession of the edge of his own penalty area. Those passages of play, and Arsenal's failure to break Spurs down for a third time, led Arteta to admit after the Game that his side lacked the necessary quality to pick up

5 dead, 2 injured as train strikes SUV carrying family in Florida, sheriff says

Chronister said the victims are believed to be a local Plant City family who were en route to a quinceañera at a home just across the railroad crossing. Five people were killed Saturday evening when a freight train slammed into an SUV carrying seven at a crossing in Hillsborough County, Florida, law enforcement officials said. The dead, which included three adults and two children, were believed to have been family members, officials said. Hillsborough County Sheriff Chad Chronister described a horrific scene, comparing the SUV to crushed can in the aftermath of the crash. Upon impact, the SUV "flipped violently several times before it landed a distance from this crossing," Chronister said in recounting the collision after viewing video. The jaws of life were used to rescue the driver and a front passenger, who were both transported to an area hospital, listed as in critical condition, the sheriff 's office said.

New body camera footage shows East Palestine toxic train derailment evacuation efforts

Image
New body camera footage has shown the evacuation efforts following the East Palestine toxic train derailment. ABC News has obtained new footage, via a public records request, of evacuation efforts on the night when a Norfolk Southern-operated train carrying toxic chemicals derailed in East Palestine, Ohio, earlier this year. The footage, released first to ABC News on Thursday, shows roughly 30 minutes of body camera as Ohio State Highway Patrol went from door to door on the night of Feb. 3, in the immediate aftermath of the fiery crash, and evacuation efforts several days later -- when the risk of a major explosion at the site amped up authorities' request to get people out of the area. According to the first clip's body camera timestamp, it's about 10 p.m. on the night of the derailment.

World Rhino Day (September 22nd)

Image
Quick facts When is it? Every September 22nd What's the hashtag? #WorldRhinoDay Have we missed something? The only way to save a rhinoceros is to save the environment in which it lives, because there’s a mutual dependency between it and millions of other species of both Animals and plants. David Attenborough Almost every child in the world should be able to immediately recognize this magnificent beast, with its heavy grey skin and prominent horn (or horns!) upon its snout. The rhinoceros is a much-loved critter! However, it is deeply endangered in the wild and is quickly on the road to extinction if something isn’t done to help this animal in its plight. So it is that World Rhino Day was established to help raise awareness and protect what remains of these magnificent creatures. History of World Rhino Day As far back as the early 1990s, the crisis related to rhinos in Africa, particularly the black rhinos in Zimbabwe, became well known and people began t

Google sued after US man died while following Maps app

The family of a North Carolina man who died after driving his car off a collapsed bridge while following Google Maps directions is suing the Technology giant for negligence, claiming it had been informed of the collapse but failed to update its navigation system. Philip Paxson, a medical device salesman and father of two, drowned on September 30, last year, after his Jeep Gladiator plunged into Snow Creek in Hickory, according to a lawsuit filed on Tuesday in Wake County Superior Court. Paxson was driving home from his daughter’s ninth birthday party through an unfamiliar neighbourhood when Google Maps allegedly directed him to cross a bridge that had collapsed nine years prior and was never repaired.

DHS looks to combat illicit drugs inside and out of the United States through targeted strategy The Department of Homeland Security on Tuesday rolled out what it is calling a comprehensive guide to combatting illicit opioids from coming into the country. The report, titled "Strategy for Combatting Illicit Opioids," outlines four goals the Department hopes will stop opioids from coming into the country. “Our nation continues to face an unprecedented epidemic of deaths from illicit synthetic opioids -- our citizens are dying every year at an unimaginable rate,” said Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) Executive Associate Director Katrina W. Berger in a press release. “This is a bold and innovative strategy to stem the flow of dangerous narcotics and directly addresses the public Health emergency this opioid crisis has become.
