Fresh off scoring in a competitive game for the first time in the past seven months as Benin were defeated 3-1 by the Gambia in an African Cup of Nations qualifying game, Mounie said that he has ‘some confidence’ his back. The former Montpellier marksman was the Terriers’ most potent attacking outlet last term, with his seven goals crucial to retaining their Premier League status. This season, though, he has struggled for form and is yet to register an effort in 11 games as his team languish a place above the bottom of the English top-flight standings....

You may remember that following the 2013 edition of league’s annual media day, The HBC (Head Ball Coach), was photographed looking rather dapper at an Arby’s near Hoover, Ala.

Anybody who’s ever struggled with a stuck zipper or stubborn button owes a debt of gratitude to Georges de Mestral, the Swiss engineer who gave us all an alternative. After a walk in the woods with his dog one day in 1948, de Mestral marveled at the ability of burrs to fasten themselves to his dog’s coat and to his own wool clothing. De Mestral shoved a bit of burr under a microscope and saw that its barbed, hooklike seed pods meshed beautifully with the looped fibers in his clothes....

Originally, direct payments were only sent to some of California’s lowest-income residents and those who were excluded from federal stimulus checks. However, on Monday, Newsom announced middle-class families would see payments as well, a move that would create the “biggest state tax rebate in U.S. history.” The expansion means about 67 percent of Californians will receive a payment worth at least $600, according to Newsom. Families with children will also receive an additional $500....

The Austrian side stunned their hosts at the start of the second half, Valon Berisha scoring twice in the space of seven minutes. While Dortmund halved the deficit with a close-range finish from Andre Schurrle just after the hour, they will now have to score at least twice in the second leg to progress to the quarter-finals. Stoger will hope for an improved display in the return fixture after seeing his side slip to their first loss in 2018....

The Stars have now won 10 out of 14 Big Bash League encounters with their city rivals after sealing back-to-back victories at a canter. All-rounder Bravo started 2019 on a high note against his former team, taking 3-27 from his four overs as the Renegades were restricted to 148-9. Stoinis (2-26) also impressed with the ball after Sam Harper and Mackenzie Harvey put on 52 for the first wicket from just five overs and then gave the Australia selectors another reminder of his prowess with the bat....

As the Zeon forces gather, Momo arranges a handful of trading cards (specially purchased for the game) on the flat, magnetic surface of his machine. He physically manipulates the cards to control his robot and weapons on the screen. Firing a few missiles, he deftly defeats the Zeon threat, and adds yet another win to a remarkable history of 585 victories. At about $2 a game, Momo estimates he’s spent $2,000 in the last six months....

Though there are still some physical arcade centers today, they likely do not feel the same to those who grew up with Taito’s Space Invaders still available to play. Especially since the COVID-19 pandemic has changed the situation when it comes to entertainment venues, it is not surprising for big companies like SEGA to take down its arcade business. However, for many gamers often hit with nostalgia and good feelings about the past, seeing their favorite arcade titles in modern fashion collections is likely very welcome....

For most people, the image of a lone genius toiling away in solitude is a strong one. From Einstein figuring out physics formulas, to Edison in his patent office and Steve Jobs in his garage, many of our greatest thinkers needed lots of time and a space to work out their ideas before stunning the rest of the world with their innovations. But some of the world’s greatest minds aren’t just determined to make something new....
