January, 2014 - Massimiliano Allegri was fired one day after a 4-3 defeat by Sassuolo left Milan 11th in Serie A. Allegri had led Milan to the Serie A title in his first season, 2010-11, and second place the next. His fortunes changed dramatically after the club sold several top players in 2012. He was replaced by Dutchman Clarence Seedorf, who spent 10 years of his playing career at Milan but had no previous coaching experience....

The former Manchester United and Chelsea loanee, who has scored six goals in nine games this season, admitted that it was “special” to earn back his place after struggling for form and fitness for much of the last two years....

Welcome back to the NFC South. It shaping up to be another entertaining race. Playing without injured running back Devonta Freeman, the Falcons still had big production on the ground and survived Cam Newton’s desperation pass to the end zone as time expired to beat the Panthers 31-24 on Sunday. It was a dramatic ending to a rivalry game. “At the end, I don’t think there was anybody who wasn’t up and screaming and feeling wild,” said Falcons coach Dan Quinn....

The RP-SG Mavericks surprisingly decided against continuing with Sharath Kamal, leaving the eight-time national champion in the Player Draft pool. Having opted for player retention, Falcons TTC and Dabang Smashers T....

The changes bring in a tabbed look home screen, an optional full page dark mode and an overall cleaner look that futher distances Facebook from the confusing and cluttered versions of the past. The new UI elements make for a website that looks more round in its elements, with bubble-like boxes in the News Feed and a slightly altered and enlarged font in some menus. The elements are also all centred to the screen rather than running to the left of centre....

The latest look termed as FB5 and nicknamed as New Facebook provides a different experience with the same fun as the Old Facebook used to provide. One of the most sought after features included is the Facebook Dark Mode. The update has already reached to almost all mobile application users and has now started to roll out for desktop versions. Another important observation is that Facebook’s new interface is either White or Black and has lost the traditional Blue touch completely....

The Facebook CEO and Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey appeared at the hearing virtually to answer senators’ questions regarding how their companies handled election-related posts. While Democratic senators participating in the hearing repeatedly expressed concern about whether the steps each platform takes to avoid the spread of misinformation were enough, Republican senators questioned whether efforts to flag or limit the exposure of certain posts qualified as censorship. With both of Georgia’s Republican senators heading into runoff elections in January, Connecticut Senator Richard Blumenthal told Zuckerberg and Dorsey that he was worried both of their platforms were “backsliding” and “failing to take action against dangerous misinformation....

Almost all teen pregnancies–5 out of 6–are unintended. About 40 percent of teenage pregnancies end in abortion. They account for 26 percent of all abortions performed in the United States.

Few politicians have had the courage to stare so directly into The Great American Fear, which has festered 20 years now (pollsters say) since the triple shock of Vietnam, Watergate and the first Arab oil embargo. The Fear is a remarkable phenomenon, perhaps the most significant, sustained public-opinion development in the 20th century. Americans were chronic optimists until the early 1970s. They were convinced–and this distinguished them from other peoples–that next year would be better....

The Claim Fox News’ The Next Revolution host Steve Hilton tweeted figures relating to Biden’s approval rating on Friday, September 3. In this he highlighted his numbers among independents, stating the president saw a 10 percentage point drop among them. He wrote: “Biden’s approval hits new low—drops 10 percent among independents to just 36 percent—the mystery is: how can ANYONE approve of the utter chaos and cruelty unleashed by this despicable man, easily the worst president in America’s history....

Cheney, who lost her party primary ahead of the November midterms to Trump-backed Harriet Hageman, has said she “won’t be a Republican” if the former president becomes the party nominee, and that she would do “everything I can” to prevent it. So, when Trump recently indicated that the U.S. could lose in conflict with Russia, the congresswoman’s strident tone appeared to be in full force yet again. The Claim...

The Claim On Friday afternoon, the president tweeted a quote attributed to Fox News anchor Stuart Varney asserting that Philadelphia “has got a rotten history on election integrity.” The Facts Election fraud is not unheard of in the city, but experts said the president’s statement isn’t entirely accurate—especially in today’s political environment. “There certainly was fraud back in the times in urban political machines—from Chicago and Boston and Philadelphia—but that really changed significantly due to reforms implemented post-1950 into where we are today,” Jeffrey Carroll, an assistant professor of political science at Chestnut Hill College in Philadelphia, told Newsweek....

The Claim: Pence claimed that the coronavirus plan laid out by the Biden/Harris campaign was so similar to the one that the Trump administration has carried out, it seemed like it had been plagiarized. “The reality is,” Pence said, “when you look at the Biden plan, it reads an awful lot like what President Trump and I and our task force have been doing every step of the way. And quite frankly, when I look at their plan that talks about advancing testing, creating new PPE, developing the vaccine—it looks a little bit like plagiarism, which is something Joe Biden knows a little bit about....

Since the start of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, media and intelligence reports have claimed that Russia has received military support from Syria, some Kremlin-friendly African republics and Iran, which was reported to have supplied its combat UAVs to Russia (but has so far denied the claims). North Korea is another close ally of the Kremlin, but recent media reports that Pyongyang is prepared to send a 100,000-strong army of “volunteer” soldiers to fight in Ukraine have raised some eyebrows....
