VICE PRESIDENT Maria Leonor “Leni” Robredo has apologized for posing for a photo together with her fellow Liberal Party members in the Holocaust memorial in Berlin, Germany, saying “there was no excuse.” “They (the critics) have a point, that’s why I have to apologize for offending the sensibilities of others. There was no excuse,” Robredo said [...]

Giancarlo Stanton may not have been subject to many boos while rising to stardom in Miami, but his old Marlins manager was hardly surprised by New York’s reaction to the outfielder’s early struggles.

At the school's annual Wally Awards banquet, Goutham Sundaram's speech was filled with remarks about his lack of sexual conquests and his right to sex.

I guess the correspondent who was praising Lidl customer “care” was lucky. Four weeks ago, on a Sunday, I purchased an electronic weather station and two pairs of gardening gloves between 9.15 and 10am. All was fine for three hours, then the display faded and the intensity could not be adjusted. I returned to the Victoria store less than 24 hours after purchasing. I explained to the supervisor the situation and which till I had used. She was totally unreceptive as I did not have the receipt. I told... Читать дальше...

Jurgen Klopp is eyeing a busy summer at Liverpool at the end of the season as he looks to secure additions to aid the quest to knock Manchester City off their Premier League perch- and one of the first steps could be to issue a blow to their rivals in the market. The Sun claims that Liverpool are eyeing a move for City talent Bobby Duncan, who is in a contract dispute with Pep Guardiola’s side and could become the latest youngster to walk away from the Citizens in search of first-team opportunities.

Disgraced former FBI Director James Comey is making a pathetic spectacle of himself as he pitches his book with a whirlwind media blitz. Comey’s Sunday interview with George Stephanopoulos on ABC managed to achieve higher ratings than its floundering American Idol lead-in. However, the ratings did not even rise to half the number of viewers who tuned into the Stormy Daniels interview on CBS’s Sixty Minutes last month. Each interview was a tawdry attempt to smear President Trump. However, compared... Читать дальше...

When it comes to weight loss, being healthy is not enough. Rather, sustainable weight loss comes down to calorie control and a balance of macronutrients — the carbs, proteins and fats that make up our food. This means that while popular breakfast options such as toast, yoghurt or a breakfast drink may appear to be...

Roger Trinquier accurately assessed that a deliberate and methodical process must be conducted, to defeat an insurgency that does not present a single decisive battle that turns the tide of war. The development of a methodical campaign plan for Counter-insurgency (COIN) requires planners to use a new method of thinking in the way they approach their mission. Campaign... Читать дальше...

NEW YORK (AP) — Shoppers will see more personalization based on where they are and what they've bought before on the Walmart website, as the retailer and several other stores try to build stronger connections with shoppers used to the customization of Amazon. Walmart says it's including a section that highlights top-selling items in a customer's location, feature services like online grocery that are available in the area, and make it easy for people to buy again items they've bought most often in stores and online.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Dwyane Wade snuffed out one 76ers' rally by popping a 16-foot fadeaway with the shot clock ticking down. Wade made a halfhearted attempt at reaching his hand out toward a fallen defender before he scooted on his way. Wade was up, the Sixers were down and suddenly, a series. The Heat had to have this one — a brooding Joel Embiid is angling for a comeback. Wade turned in a vintage performance, scoring 28 points to end the 76ers' 17-game winning streak and lead the Miami Heat to... Читать дальше...

I had first sent an e-mail tothe Rabat local council in the last week of February and, to date, my complaint has not been addressed. There is a road mirror on Tabia Road, facing Patri Bonelli Street, meant to aid motorists coming from this second road when driving out of this somewhat dangerous corner to proceed uphill to Saqqajja. This mirror is misaligned and is an accident waiting to happen on this rather busy ‘corner’. It would only take a five-minute job for the mirror to be aligned but my numerous... Читать дальше...
