Pahang Football Association (PFA) today distanced themselves from reports that import forward Mohamadou Sumareh will soon be given a Malaysian passport that would qualify him to be registered as a local player. This follows an interview made by Pahang’s team manager, Datuk Che Nasir Salleh to Astro Awani that Sumareh’s application to get naturalisation to enable him to qualify as a local player is currently an on-going process. In the statement by PFA today, they clarified that the naturalisation suggestion was only a personal opinion of Datuk Che Nasir and not a general view of the association or the President of PFA....

But time and economic forces are sweeping the last of the old ways from Daufuskie, thought to be a Yemassee Indian word meaning “field of blood.” Its cash crops - cotton and oysters - are gone, victims of disease and pollution. As men left for work on the mainland, the post-Civil-War population of mostly 1,200 ex-slaves dwindled. Now, less than a quarter of the island’s 181 full-time residents are black....

The recent announcement that Microsoft is planning to purchase Activision Blizzard has sent ripples through the industry. Apparently, the news has also sent the price of Sony’s stock plummeting. However, this may not have as much of an impact on the companies as some gamers might expect. RELATED: PS5 and Xbox Series X Console Shortages Could Last At Least Another Year Ampere research director Piers Harding-Rolls was recently asked how consumer demand in the video game console industry would evolve in 2022, especially considering the pressure caused by component shortages....

Battlefield 3 has shown us impressive gameplay demos, yet as the 12-minute gameplay trailer makes clear, the game strays far from the traditional Battlefield experience. This may be the sort of thing Hickey had in mind when he came to the conclusion that in order for Battlefield to truly compete with Call of Duty, it will have to surpass CoD’s gameplay as well as keep up with the relentlessly steady pace at which the games are released....

This article will go over what dysarthria and anarthria are. You will learn about the causes, symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment of these speech disorders. Dysarthria and Anarthria Causes Dysarthria (also known as dysarthosis) and the more severe form, anarthria, are caused by brain damage. Conditions that are present at birth, such as cerebral palsy or muscular dystrophy, can also cause dysarthria and anarthria.

With each call, Simpson grew more insistent. Stewart, concerned, dispatched a friend of his—a laborer and sometime bartender named Charles Cashmore—to the Palms, the hotel where O.J. was staying. Somebody needed to calm Simpson down. Stewart was also worried about O.J.’s alcohol intake. “[Stewart] said, ‘You’ve been drinking too much. Slow down’,” Lucherini says. At one point, Arnelle intervened, Lucherini says, and the two Simpsons argued over the phone. (Simpson attorney Yale Galanter declined to discuss evidence in the case; Arnelle Simpson didn’t respond to a request for comment....

It’s inevitable that many will deal with a case of head lice at some point in their lives—and, apparently, it’s an affliction that ancient humans dealt with, too. As the study’s author, Alejandra Perotti, noted in 2018, “the reality is that humans have had head lice living on them for thousands of years.” “They were so common in the past that almost every family was in possession of a special comb to remove and keep them under control or in low numbers,” she said, adding that these combs were often made of bone, wood or cactus spine....

In a study published in PLOS One on September 22, researchers from Denmark’s Aarhus University and the University of Bergen in Norway examined the causes behind the downfall of the ancient city of Palmyra; an oasis in what is now the Syrian desert that was once one of the most important cultural centers of the ancient world in the first and second centuries AD. Palmyra is thought to have fallen when it was subject to a Roman invasion around 272 to 273 AD, giving rise to legends of its ruler, Queen Zenobia, who challenged the Roman Empire but was ultimately defeated....

Owners on two sides of the condominium will have views into the stadium. Those two-bedroom units have already sold out, at prices in the $800,000s. The penthouses topped $1 million, and only 68 units of the 178-unit building remain unsold, though it won’t be completed until August. The seventh floor holds a clubhouse with a full field view for all residents, including those on the nonview side of the build-ing, where units start in the $500,000s....

Alastair Cook stepped down as skipper after a 4-0 thrashing in India and Root was installed as his replacement in February. Ben Stokes and Stuart Broad were also thought to be high on the ECB’s shortlist and the former has been appointed Root’s vice-captain. England’s record wicket-taker in Tests was seemingly not in the frame and Anderson believes, at 34 years old, age counted against him. “I don’t know if I’d have taken the captaincy but it would have been nice to have been considered for it,” he said....

Harrell was born in Harlem and raised in The Bronx, New York. He began his music career as one half of the hip hop duo Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde with Alonzo Brown, in the early 1980s. The duo achieved a few minor hits on Billboard’s Hot R&B Songs chart with their most successful hit, “Genius Rap” reaching number 31. He then met Def Jam records founder Russell Simmons and worked his way up the label to become vice president and general manager....

The Catalan side announced Quique Setien as their new manager after parting ways with Ernesto Valverde earlier this week. According to reports, Xavi was the first choice for many senior figures at the club but the 39-year-old thought it was too soon in his career to be coaching a team like Barcelona. Iniesta sees Xavi as the future Barcelona manager Despite the midfield maestro turning down the offer, Andres Iniesta believes Xavi is destined to return to his boyhood club and take over as the manager....

A huge underdog, Cancio dropped Machado three times with punishing body shots in the fourth round to pull off a stunning TKO and become the new WBA “regular" super featherweight champion in front of a raucous home crowd at the Fantasy Springs Casino in Indio, Calif., live on DAZN. “Absolutely unbelievable,” a teary-eyed Cancio said in the ring following his upset, almost in awe of his own performance. “I couldn’t even imagine this,” he added seconds later....

Wait, that’s it? That was the big prediction? Nintendo is going to make innovating gameplay a higher priority than seeing how much technology they can cram into an overpriced box? Maybe next he can drop a press release to let everyone know that Santa will be going with the red suit this year, or that Game Rant will continue to be an awesome gaming website. All kidding aside, this is about as no-brainer as it gets....

The Packers were held to 16 points and Aaron Rodgers limited to 189 yards and one touchdown pass in that season-opening matchup, and the sledding will be difficult once again. Rodgers is on the Westgate Las Vegas SuperBook’s props board for 265 gross passing yards and two TD passes. We’re siding with the UNDER on each. Not only are the Seahawks playing lights-out football right now, but Rodgers has been hampered by a calf injury that clearly limits his ability to make plays outside of the pocket....

Kamath, who became the first Indian paddler to enter the semifinals of Youth Olympics, gave her all against Romania’s Andreea Dragoman before losing 11-8, 11-13, 9-11, 5-11, 9-11 in the semifinal played on Wednesday night (wee hours of Thursday in India). The Indian under-18 women’s hockey team suffered its first loss of the Youth Olympics’ five-a-side competition, going down 2-5 to hosts Argentina. After three successive wins, India lost the toughest match they played in the event....

The Cassville School District School Board this summer approved a policy to institute corporal punishment, or paddling, in schools as a last-resort disciplinary method, according to the Springfield News-Leader. Each family will be given the option to either opt-in or opt-out of the policy. The Cassville School District student handbook includes a subsection titled “Corporal Punishment” in the discipline section. “Corporal punishment is the use of physical force as a method of correcting student behavior....

For the third time this year, Tatis was placed on IL. And for the third time this year, he homered in his return. This time, he launched a homer not once, but twice, finishing Sunday’s 8-2 win having gone 4 of 5 from the plate with a double, two homers, four RBIs and three runs scored. The offensive explosion by Tatis was certainly welcome by the Padres, who just a few hours earlier were no-hit by Diamondbacks rookie Tyler Gilbert....
