The unveiling wasn’t a complete surprise – rumours of a new Sony Xperia phone started popping up right after the Sony Xperia X and the Xperia XA were released. However, we didn’t know whether we’d see just one new phone or two. Alongside the new flagship, we were also treated to a new Xperia X Compact during Sony’s IFA keynote. Here, we’re focusing on the flagship Xperia XZ. Sony Xperia XZ release date: When is the Xperia XZ coming out?...
Virtual Galleries Going to a museum in 2024 won’t mean shuffling around cold marble galleries. Paintings and antiquities, says museum “conceptualizer” Karl Katz, will increasingly appear in the context in which they were created. Technology will be used to simulate real spaces where art can be seen in its original setting–think antiquities in a digital version of the ancient world. Also look for museums dedicated to today’s gizmos: answering machines, VCRs, iMacs....
European Tour rookie Sordet, the world number 315 and a four-time winner on the Challenge Tour, birdied the first four holes at Hills Golf Club in Gothenburg en route to an eight-under 62. That put the Frenchman two clear of Scott Jamieson and Lee Slattery, with Christofer Blomstrand, Tapio Pulkkanen, Richard Green and Hunter Stewart a shot further back. Olesen, meanwhile, began the week with a 68, having seen his preparations disrupted by two sets of golf clubs going missing on flights....

With a run differential of plus-71 for the season, the Pythagorean record for Toronto is 38-26, four games better than the Blue Jays’ actual mark of 34-30.

ON THE OTHER HAND: Ryan Fagan thinks the Blue Jays are AL East’s best team...

You both feel like you’ve known each other your whole lives. The person you’re speaking to can sense your feelings. Each of you can predict what the other will say or do....

Ashwin dismissed the steady Markram and Ishant Sharma had AB de Villiers chopping on to pull back the Proteas. Amla and Faf du Plessis looked like they would take South Africa to stumps but a direct hit from Pandya sent Amla on his way. Ashwin then had de Kock caught behind for a golden duck to pull things back late in the day. #5 India spring another selection surprise After the bizarre decision to sit out Ajinkya Rahane and Lokesh Rahul in the first Test, Virat Kohli sprung another surprise when he kept out India’s best bowler at Cape Town, Bhuvneshwar Kumar....
However, after going through the optional nets session on Wednesday, Kohli and his men were involved in a unique training session, which was aimed more towards mobility and cohesion rather than any skill development. In the video posted by ANI, the Indian players can be seen in a huddle. They are also accompanied by the fielding coach, R Sridhar and can be seen with training bibs behind their backs. They then attempt to snatch the bibs tucked in by the other players....
India got off to a promising start on the first day with a tremendous show in Kho-Kho. While the men’s team were victorious against Sri Lanka 21-8, the women’s side too remained unbeaten with a one-sided 32-4 win over the same team. Pakistan won the Tennis competition against Maldives and Bangladesh by a 3-0 margin, followed by Nepal’s 3-0 victory over Bhutan.

The Indian badminton contingent was highly successful at the last edition of the South Asian Games back in 2016 held in Guwahati sweeping all the seven gold medals up for grabs. The seven events included Singles and Doubles for both Men and Women along with the Mixed Doubles and the Team events. The second day of action at the 2019 South Asian Games will feature the Indian Men and Women’s Team clash with neighbouring nation Pakistan in the Men’s Team and Women’s Team semifinals....
The all-Indian finals in the singles section has assured the contingent of at least a couple of gold medals. The men’s doubles and mixed doubles categories will also see shuttlers from the country vying for the top podium, while the only category which will not feature any Indian badminton player is women’s doubles. On Thursday, Ashmita Chaliha and Gayatri Gopichand both had it pretty easy in the semi-finals. Chaliha, who hails from Assam, blew away the challenge of Sri Lanka’s Achini Nimeshika Ratnasiri Kapuru Mudiyanselage 21-5, 21-7 in a heavily one-sided contest to confirm her place in the final....
Martin and his players are embarking on a weeklong series of events in the community to build goodwill and urge fans to purchase season tickets. The goal is to sell 8,000 — a total Martin says hasn’t been hit at the 18,000-seat Colonial Life Arena the past few seasons. “We always ask our fans to come to us,” Martin said Tuesday. “Well, we’ve got to find time to go to our fans, and I think this is a great way to show that to our players....
Southampton, who lost 2-1 at Arsenal in the Premier League in September, return to London on the back of a 1-0 home win over Everton in the Premier League on Sunday. “I think it is difficult to play this game just after Everton, but it’s always a good opportunity to give game time for all the players and to keep every time a good physical level,” Puel told the club website....
In a resolution first published by the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC) last week, the group condemned China’s actions and called upon the government to “cease its program of genocide against the Uyghur people immediately.” The resolution was written by Griffin Gulledge, a Ph.D. student in systematic theology at Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary, Christian Today reported. As the United States’ largest Protestant denomination, the SBC resolution marks a significant turning point for Christian organizations in condemning China....
And when they weren't able to do so on the field -- posting an abysmal 1-11 record this season -- he made sure they would be prepared for the next step in their careers. That's why, as a parting gift, he purchased a suit for all 17 senior members of his squad, according to USM Associate Professor of Management, Bret Bector. (Photo via Bret Becton’s Facebook) There weren't many bright spots on the field for the Golden Eagles this year, but Monken's gesture speaks to the type of education he wants to provide for his players -- both on and off the field....
But there was something important Rove didn’t know and, in retrospect, should have feared: Riordan would be chum in the waters patrolled by Davis’s own political mastermind, a cheerfully Machiavellian shark named Garry South. Before signing on with Davis in 1994, South had run a losing mayoral race against Riordan, and still possessed file drawers full of “oppo” and a keen desire for revenge. If nothing else, South and Davis could dull the luster of Riordan’s L....
The Thunderbirds trailed UT-San Antonio 92-90 with just three seconds left, and it looked like they would have to wait until Dec. 14 when they travel to Boise State to try and notch their first road win since Feb. 7, 2013. But then A.J. Hess, the team’s leading scorer, got the inbounds pass from underneath his own basket, took two dribbles, and launched a 40-foot prayer. It was answered....
Sterling – who is likely to feature in England’s opening Euro 2020 qualifiers against Czech Republic and Montenegro later this month – has enjoyed another fine season for Manchester City, scoring 15 goals as Pep Guardiola’s side target an historic quadruple. The 24-year-old has also been at the centre of football’s fight against racism and received widespread praise for speaking out after suffering alleged abuse in a game against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge in December....
Considered one of the top prospects of his generation, the Manchester City midfielder has been made to wait for a maiden senior call-up as he seeks regular minutes at club level. Foden, 19, scored for England’s Under-21s in a 3-0 win over Albania the day after Southgate’s side hammered Montenegro 7-0 at Wembley. More of the same for City, for whom he has made four substitute appearances in the Premier League this season, could yet catapult the highly rated teenager into selection contention for Euro 2020....
