Paul Aigbogun’s men will be eyeing a place in the quarter-final of the competition – but must negotiate their way past Djoliba, CARA Brazzaville and WAC in Group C. A win for Enyimba against Djoliba will brighten their chances of reaching the knockout round, and the midfielder has disclosed that the two-time African kings are not under any pressure facing the Malians. “The most important thing is that we have to take every game as seriously as we can....

Episodic Ataxia Type 1 The spells of unsteadiness caused by episodic ataxia type 1 (EA1) usually last only for minutes at a time. These periods are often brought on by exercise, ​caffeine, or stress. Sometimes there may be a rippling of the muscles (myokymia) that comes on with the ataxia. Symptoms usually begin in adolescence. Episodic ataxia type 1 is caused by a mutation in a potassium ion channel. This channel usually permits electrical signaling in nerve cells, and these signals may become abnormal when the channel is changed by a genetic mutation....

The militias don’t do subtlety. Fourteen rockets were launched from somewhere south of the city. Three of them slammed into the concrete of the main base for the U.S.-led coalition, killing one contractor and wounding five others. The remainder fell on surrounding residential areas. This is the Shiite militia structure maintained by Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) on Iraqi soil, and it is now issuing its first test to the new U....

“We needed to step in and make sure that we were not going to end up with Texas in a blackout, which could keep folks without power – not just some people without power but everyone in our region without power – for much, much longer than we believe this event is going to last, as long and as difficult as this event is right now,” said ERCOT CEO Bill Magness in a call with reporters on Tuesday....

Eredivisie side Heracles have decided to go one step further, starting a training academy to allow young gamers to progress through the ranks like footballers before competing with the main squad. Who is the favourite to win the 2017-18 Eredivisie? Their first class includes six gamers aged between 13 and 19-years-old, who will be coached in eSports by Heracles senior eSports player Bryan Hessing, using a specially designed centre called an eBox, which allows 36 players to play FIFA 17 (and shortly FIFA 18) at the same time....

It took the official confirmation of the Chiefs’ worst fear from the sight of Eric Berry being carted off the field in Foxborough Thursday night late in that exhilarating annihilation of the Patriots. Berry’s Achilles tendon is torn, and he’s done for the season. It’s cruel, for Berry and the team — very typical football, but still cruel. The Chiefs, by manhandling the champions in every way possible, earned the right to believe they could succeed them as champs, if they maintained what they had started....

That didn’t stop the receiver from giving Richard Sherman some advice. The Seahawks star’s girlfriend is expecting any day now, and although he says they have a plan in place, he’s hoping it doesn’t happen until after the big game. Decker’s wife, singer Jessie James, gave birth to their first child in March.

It was a chaotic morning for the 32-year-old first baseman, who was initially reported as a major piece of a blockbuster deal sending All-Star outfielder Juan Soto to the Padres for a crop of prospects. But there was a catch — Hosmer had a no-trade clause for 10 specific teams in his contract and the Nationals were one of them, holding up the trade momentarily. While several reports suggested the Soto trade would still go through regardless of Hosmer’s no-trade clause, there was a brief pause in the action as the Padres explored other avenues for the veteran....

Already inducted into the Flyers Hall of Fame back in 2014, Lindros becomes just the sixth player to have his number retired by the club. He will join Bernie Parent (1), Mark Howe (2), Barry Ashbee (4), Bill Barber (7) and Bobby Clarke (16) in a ceremony to be held at Wells Fargo Center before the Flyers host the Toronto Maple Leafs, a contest pitting two of the four teams Lindros played for during his 13-year career....

Reid, now a safety for the Panthers, said the decision to set up the workout seemed like a PR stunt. It was reportedly sprung on Kaepernick at the last second with several conditions attached, including a two-hour window in which his camp could agree to terms. “It’s disingenuous,” Reid told reporters. “They want the appearance of giving Colin a chance, but they give him two hours’ notice and tell (him) it has to be on a Saturday when they know decision-makers are traveling....

Around 50 million Americans have filed for unemployment in the last four months, amid the coronavirus outbreak, with 1.3 million claims in the week ending July 4. This weekly number was down by 99,000 from the initial claims made the last, the Department of Labor said in a news release, and lower than predicted. Eric Trump, President Donald Trump’s son and executive vice president of the Trump Organization, focused on this decline when presented with the latest unemployment figure....

The Portuguese turned in a star performance against Norwich earlier this month and was one of the brighter performers in the Red Devils’ loss to Arsenal last time out, as the club limps towards the end of a disappointing campaign. It has been far from an ideal homecoming for the Portuguese to his former club, and questions have been asked whether he will remain in Ten Hag’s plans once the Ajax boss arrives - but three-time Ballon d’Or winner Van Basten believes he can stake his place safely....

That was the “conservative” estimate of a computer expert testifying at Andrews’ $75 million civil trial in Nashville on Thursday . Penn State professor Bernard “Jim” Jansen told the court that every minute, 1.5 people are still leering at naked clips of the former ESPN sideline reporter. “Right now, someone is watching that video,” Jansen told the court, via the New York Post .

Johnson, 61, is scheduled to die by lethal injection at 6 p.m. on Tuesday at the state prison in Bonne Terre. He was convicted of killing three convenience store workers during a 1994 robbery. Parson’s decision to not commute Johnson’s sentence to life in prison without the possibility of parole came despite appeals from advocates including Pope Francis to halt his execution. Johnson’s attorneys and advocates say his execution would violate the Eighth Amendment, which prohibits executing the intellectually disabled....

As they file into the van, Spence plops down on the leather seat next to me in a green sweat suit and a pair of Nikes. The van pulls off in route to the AT&T Stadium, where the final press conference before Spence defends his title against Mikey Garcia on March 16 is taking place. His eyes wander and it’s difficult to tell whether he’s excited, exhausted or indifferent. Small talk ensues and, for the most part, Spence’s expression remains the same....

When consumers get particularly peeved at those “please say service or sales” prompts, the system is supposed to pick up that frustration and transfer them to a live operator before they give up. His system monitors the words consumers use (cursing, for example), their speech patterns (repeating themselves) and the pitch and sound of their voice. The big risk in Narayanan’s software, which he expects to market within two years, is that wily consumers will game the system....

The refugees were the lucky ones. Days later, piles of corpses bobbed like rag dolls in the Rusumo River. Rebel soldiers from the Tutsi-led Rwandan Patriotic Front, which seized the Rusumo Bridge, stared grimly into the muddy torrent as the bodies-mostly of women and children, some beheaded-cascaded by. The victims were almost certainly Tutsis, murdered by the rampaging government army and civilian militias from the minority Hutu tribe, who are seeking revenge for the death of Rwanda’s Hutu president in a suspicious plane crash on April 6....

Real Madrid took the lead after just 12 minutes when Vinicius Junior slotted home a composed finish following a through ball by Aurelien Tchouameni. At that point, the away team looked to be in control of the contest. However, Espanyol grew as the first half progressed and grabbed an equaliser one minute before half-time when Joselu finished at the second attempt after a save by Thibaut Courtois had bounced back into his path....
