India had complained that Beale’s shootout was allowed to go on for 14 seconds, which is more than the normal time limit of 8 seconds. According to India, obstruction happened outside the 8-second mark. “The umpires have failed,” said Hockey India president Narender Batra. “Is this the quality of umpires you post in the final of the Champions Trophy? The shootout attempt went on for over 14 seconds, and then it was re-taken....

Iginla represents a rarity in the modern game, a player whose candidacy is rock solid from virtually every angle. He was a stellar amateur and an excellent pro. He had success as an individual and as a leader of a team. He has a spotless international resume and is one of the most historically significant players of his generation. A product of St. Albert, Alta., who came up through the Edmonton suburb’s minor hockey program, Iginla was a superb player in bantam and midget but found another level to his game with the Western Hockey League’s Kamloops Blazers....

After guiding his Malaysia U18 charges to the recent AFF U18 Championship final on Sunday, Bojan Hodak has remarked that what set his boys apart from eventual champions Thailand was experience in competitive matches. Speaking to the press upon the team’s arrival from Yangon, Myanmar at the Kuala Lumpur International Airport on Monday, the Croatian trainer said that he was surprised that the team got as far as they did, following his own less-than-optimistic observation of the team before the tournament began....

Beyond videos focusing more on the action and the mechanics of Hogwarts Legacy, Avalanche Software and Warner Bros. are just as eager to showcase the vibes around the magical school. Fans can just simply enjoy the crackling fireplace of each four houses if that’s all they desire. The latest video was created in a very similar style.

Spoilers ahead for anybody who may be interested in playing Hollow Knight in advance of its sequel, Hollow Knight: Silksong, as the infection is not a traditional virus or bacteria. Instead, it has a more supernatural or cosmic source, one that ties closely into Hollow Knight’s sovereign lore and themes of worship and godhood. Given the infection and its source are the main antagonistic force behind Hollow Knight, it might impact Silksong too....

The drama began when visiting left back Martin Olsson was dismissed for handling on the line and Tjaronn Chery blasted the spot kick wide. Goals from Conor Washington and Sebastian Polter eventually saw mid-table Rangers home as sixth-placed Norwich, who replied through Steven Naismith, slipped to a fourth consecutive defeat. Holloway took over as coach from the sacked Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink in midweek. Reading made up ground on leaders Newcastle United, who play on Sunday, with a 3-0 win over Burton Albion....

The screen icon, who celebrated her 95th birthday on July 4, will be running as part of the newly unveiled Sovereign and Popular Italy (ISP) party, which was founded in July amid the collapse of the Italian government. Trapeze star Lollobrigida—whose entertainment career was launched after she placed third in the Miss Italia beauty pageant in 1947—has disclosed that she decided to make a bid for office after becoming exasperated with the manner in which politicians in her home nation have been handling matters....

Just two weeks prior, a similar story occurred in the west African nation of Niger. A gunman killed 19 worshippers in a mosque in Niger’s Tillaberi region, an area that has been under attack from a local Islamic State affiliate. In neighboring Nigeria, worshippers were attacked during a prayer vigil in May, while the next day, two dozen worshippers were kidnapped from a mosque in the country’s northwest. These attacks were no accident, but rather planned violence during Ramadan....

It’s not exactly a tidal wave, yet, but a fairly steady drip into the bottles and kegs of the 1 million Americans who will make beer at home this year, according to Charlie Papazian, president of the American Homebrewers Association. Outlawed, along with all other form of alcohol during Prohibition, home brew became legal in most states only about 20 years ago. Federal law currently permits production of up to 200 gallons a year (about a six-pack a day) per household for personal consumption–except in the dozen or so states that still prohibit home brewing, on the theory that you can drink all you want as long as you pay taxes on it....

For the Packers, however, it means a little more. For Aaron Rodgers, it could be the difference in making a Super Bowl appearance since the 31-25 victory against Pittsburgh in Super Bowl XLV. Rodgers clinched just about everything else in the Packers’ 35-16 victory against the Bears at Soldier Field in Week 17. Green Bay is the top seed and will be the lone NFC team with a bye week....

Not only will winners be presented with the beloved trophy, which features two stainless steel bats intersecting over one another. This year, the last man standing in the competition will also receive his own personalized piece of drip: a Home Run Derby chain. It’s glistening. It’s gaudy.

The homeowners purchased a fixer-upper home that they’ve been renovating and highlighting online. The TikTok, captioned, “Our new house came with a little present #dirty #nasty #creepy #horror #theboy #scary #hoarder #renovation,” has been viewed 2.8 million times and liked 142,100 times since it was shared on April 9. According to the Alzheimer’s Society, those with dementia may lose items due to memory loss, and if the person believes an item should be in a place it isn’t, this can lead the individual to believe someone is either hiding or possibly stealing things, which is a form of a delusion....

The journalist, Ho Ka-yan, was found not guilty on a separate charge of resisting two other constables and a sergeant, who reportedly pepper-sprayed her during the incident. Principal Magistrate Ada Yim Shun-yee, who presided over the proceedings, called those authorities’ actions excessive. Ho’s sentence of four weeks in jail was initially suspended for two years by the magistrate after hearing Ho had previously been diagnosed with bipolar disorder. However, Yim soon acknowledged making a mistake and had to uphold the jail sentence, because the offense of resisting police cannot be punished via a suspended term....

From India, PV Sindhu is one of the contenders for a berth among the last-eight at this tournament and it will be interesting to see how she performs in Hong Kong, where she is also the two-time defending runner-up.

The report stated that the threats against press freedom in the media have increased drastically over the last year. “Suppression from the authorities is felt across different forms of media; freedoms have seriously deteriorated under a repressive government,” the report said....

Over the last several months, I tested the Hisense HRF266N6CSE refrigerator, which retailed for $1,599. I put this through the paces at home with two teens and a busy kitchen and fell in love with its interior water dispenser, innovative storage and modern style. Since that time, this model number was recalled due to loosening door hinges. The issue has been remedied, and the model name updated to HRF266N6CSE1 (also $1,599)....
