Their emphatic 4-1 victory over Young Lions last night will be celebrated by the team but head coach Aidil Sharin knows that they have to vastly improve, especially, when they take on runaway league leaders Albirex Niigata in the next game. Indeed the scoreline does not tell the whole story as the men in red made too many silly mistakes and against a more experienced side than the Young Lions, they surely would have been punished....

It’s a much anticipated shift. For years now, rich Chinese, who today represent 12 percent of the global luxury market, have been snapping up Western brands like Chanel, Armani, Cartier, Rolls-Royce and Louis Vuitton. Goldman Sachs predicts that by 2015, China will be the world’s largest luxury market, accounting for 29 percent of sales, some $11.5 billion. It’s no wonder that Western brands can’t build stores in the country fast enough....

A bathroom remodel at a family home in Tennessee has sparked global debate online. Cassie Stone, 41, lives in East Tennessee and shared a TikTok video of her bathroom remodel on January 8. Stone decided to update her daughter’s bathroom after three years living in their dream home. Replacing the entire suite, she removed the old 1980s shell sink and replaced it with a modern alternative. But when screen grabs of the renovation made their way to Twitter, this change was not well received....

Kevin Harvick and Joey Logano, the favorites, hope to do what they’ve done all season — run up front and contend to win the race. Logano has five wins, Harvick four, and they’re both among the leaders in laps led and top-five finishes. Denny Hamlin and Ryan Newman, the underdogs, have to swing for the fences, using whatever strategy they can to get to the front. Hamlin has just one win (the May restrictor-plate race at Talladega) and just seven top-fives....

The majority of the events over the past few months have favored long hitters off the tee, but PGA National is a distinct departure from that style of play. Not only is the Bermuda rough at PGA National by far the most brutal we have seen thus far, but there is also water in play on all but two holes. MORE DFS: Lineup Builder | Strategy This leads to many players opting to go less-than-driver off tee in an attempt to avoid the many issues that PGA National presents....

The shutdown comes after 10 weeks of protests in the Chinese territory. The latest actions have targeted the police, whom protesters accuse of using excessive force over the weekend to quash demonstrators. Hong Kong’s airport authority said in a statement: “Other than departure flights that have completed the check-in process and the arrival flights already heading to Hong Kong, all other flights have been canceled for the rest of today,” (via The Guardian)....

A large crowd had gathered on different levels of the APM mall in Kwun Tong on Monday to watch a screening of the fencer Edgar Cheung Ka-long triumph in the men’s individual foil final. As the crowd watched him receiving his gold medal on the podium, there was a negative reaction to the Chinese national anthem being played. Video filmed at the scene shows the tune being met with jeering before the crowd started to shout: “We are Hong Kong....

Now we’re calling and calling, and Shaha Riza just won’t pick up. The Libyan native has been quietly dating Paul Wolfowitz since at least 2000, says a longtime friend of the couple who would only speak about them anonymously. The two shared not just a mutual attraction but also a passionate cause: transforming the Arab world, ousting Saddam, and promoting democracy and rights for women. In recent weeks, this little-known relationship has exploded into public view....

Now the opposition, which views the Chavez government as both incompetent and authoritarian, is pursuing another strategy. According to a provision in the Constitution, which Chavez and his supporters rewrote in 1999, he must submit to a recall referendum after the halfway point in his term if 20 percent of the electorate requests such a vote. Both those conditions may soon be met: The president’s opponents have gathered the signatures of 2....

In case you didn’t know… Matthijs de Ligt is a product of the popular Ajax academy - which is regarded as one of the best in the world due to the generational talents it has produced for decades.

It is rare for a player of his age to show such composure and calmness to lead the defence, but De Ligt is doing the job sensationally well, leading Ajax at such a young age....

And those quotes are from 2015. Although calls for Democrats to invest in and prioritize Latino voters have been made for years, Latino leaders and progressives hope there is a sense of urgency to fix the problem now that the party has seen the erosion in support from Hispanics in the 2020 election. The loss of support in places like south Florida, south Texas and other parts of the country has led Republicans to increasingly look towards Latinos as a possible electoral growth area, beginning as early as the 2022 midterm cycle....

HIV’s basic mode of action is no mystery. Scientists have known for a decade that the virus infects immune cells called T lymphocytes (more precisely, CD4 lymphocytes) and uses their machinery to churn out copies of itself. The virus has a heyday during the first weeks of infection, before the body mounts an immune response, but it soon forms a stable relationship with the host. Though HIV levels and CD4 counts change ever so slowly over the next several years, they don’t stand still....
