There are a number of massacres going on, right now, at this holy time of year. Here is one you might not know about. It’s a scourge I thought had ended roughly 20 years ago: decades ago we saw horrific images of baby harp seals in Canada being clubbed by men who wanted their clean white skins for pelts. The world gasped. The hunt was ended. Or so we thought....

Mohsen wanted to get out but worried that his family would be targeted by military-intelligence operatives if he escaped. One sympathetic commander, sensing his distress, told him to be patient–they would escape together. The next day a B-52 hammered the ridge with seven bombs, injuring several of Mohsen’s friends. “The ground was shaking and the sound was incredible,” he says, jiggling his hands to simulate the impact. “After that, I knew I had to go....

This sacred-to-profane story is thick with irony. Thiemann, 52, who resigned his deanship, was a Lutheran minister who had also established Harvard’s influential Center for the Study of Values in Public Life. An eminent scholar, he was by all accounts an energetic leader who spent much of his 13-year tenure upgrading the faculty and modernizing the curriculum. The school’s endowment shot from $64 million to $245 million, giving Divinity a loftier standing among Harvard’s competitive graduate schools....

I hope my letter finds you in the right mood. I understand you are having a hard time with your elbow, and you would probably be kicking yourself for stretching your injury till this point of time. I get it that you would be reading rubbish articles in multiple places stating that you prioritised the Caribbean Premier League over your national duties. But you know what, I don’t care....

The momentous day arrived on January 6, 2018, when you boarded the plane from Liverpool to arrive in Barcelona. On the plane itself you were so excited that you had already donned the club’s jacket. Filling a big man’s boots Fast forward to when you completed all the formalities and were ready to be presented in Camp Nou. You had become the club’s most expensive signing in history. Barcelona broke the bank and paid Liverpool €142 million in the winter transfer season....

I come in peace, or more likely, you’ve arrived here suspicious at best. Lay down your arms and trust me when I mean what I say. I’m not here to wind you up – much – and any attempts at that are meant as playful banter, nothing more, nothing less. As you and I both know, we have a bit a of a brouhaha on our hands, one that means a great to both our clubs....

The full trailer for the Netflix feature film was released this week and it finally shows de Armas’ Monroe in action, recreating some of her iconic looks and quotes. However, the promo has also sparked a debate around de Armas’ accent, with many viewers taking to social media to say they can hear her Cuban/Spanish accent coming through. While some have been critical of this element of the movie, others are in favor of it and are praising de Armas’ portrayal of the sexual and cultural icon....

Arsenal jumped back to the top of the table, albeit potentially temporarily, after they saw off a dogged Crystal Palace side 2-0 at the Emirates stadium. Alex-Oxlade Chamberlain was the star of the show as he put in a marvellous match-winning display, scoring both goals in the second half to claim the three points for the Gunners. Arsenal move back to the summit pending the outcome of Manchester City’s clash with Chelsea on Monday, while Crystal Palace slip down to 17th in the table....

After having attracted heavy criticism since the end of the transfer window for failing to secure a match-fit midfield signing, Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger was handed a timely boost during the side’s recent 2-0 win over Crystal Palace. Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain grabbed the game by the scruff of the neck to score both of the Gunners’ goals, launching them back to the top of the league in the process. Long an advocate of Oxlade-Chamberlain as a central midfield player, despite the 20-year-old’s most prevalent role having been located in wide areas throughout his time at the club, Wenger will have an interesting decision to make regarding his first-choice central-midfielders over the coming years....

Bayern have never exuded the same type of intensity or fluidity under Ancelotti as they did under his predecessor Pep Guardiola, who won three consecutive Bundesliga titles. Hertha Berlin 15/2 to beat Bayern Munich Ancelotti’s sole full season in charge did indeed bring another shield to the Bayern trophy cabinet but the consensus would suggest that that title win had more to do with individual flashes of brilliance from the likes of Robert Lewandowski and Thiago Alcantara than anything Ancelotti was doing from the bench....

Paris Saint-Germain coach Carlo Ancelotti has claimed that his side’s tactics for their Champions League quarter-final, second leg, against Barcelona on Wednesday will not be affected by whether Lionel Messi is fit to start for the hosts. The World Player of the Year is a doubt for the game with a hamstring injury that forced him to miss the second-half of the first leg, which finished 2-2 at the Parc des Princes last Tuesday....

Well, those curious for the answer will just have to ask Tony Gilroy. When the filmmaker co-wrote the script for unexpected war film Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, fans likely assumed that he had a particular passion for a galaxy far, far away just like they did. After all, while the movie may have its faults, it’s difficult to deny that its writing is some of the best seen in recent Star Wars projects....
