Pakistan’s young pacer Naseem Shah said he won’t make excuses for his poor show against New Zealand on a pace-friendly wicket at the Hagley Oval. He lamented his rookie mistakes and vowed to learn from them in the future. After the match, the 17-year-old commended the New Zealand batters and rued his inconsistency. Pakistan conceded 373 runs on Day 3 and managed only 3 Kiwi wickets. Naseem Shah remained wicketless in his 26 overs which cost his team 141 runs....

Yes, Contassot replied. And now as deputy mayor of the City of Light, he’s set out to prove it. Many Parisians don’t realize what’s coming, how lives and lifestyles will soon be transformed. But with the new year, a new era dawns for Paris and its famously pampered pooches. Whether Yorkie, poodle or Shar-Pei, it’s out with the old and in with the new. No longer will the city’s four-footed friends be permitted to poop wherever they please....

“Defund the police” became a rallying cry during U.S. protests against police violence and systemic racism after the May death of George Floyd in Minneapolis police custody. In May, the advocacy group Black Lives Matter called for police defunding on a nationwide level. “I guess you can use a snappy slogan like ‘defund the police’ but, you know, you lost a big audience the minute you say it,” Obama said, “which makes it a lot less likely that you’re actually going to get the changes you want done....

In the video snippet for the next episode of Pod Save America, a political commentary series hosted by four former aides to Obama, the 44th president discussed why he thought Fetterman, the Democrat in a key Senate race, was a great candidate. “The thing I love about Fetterman, and you see it in a lot of our other candidates, is you feel as if when you’re talking to them that you’re having a normal conversation and they have some sense of how the rest of America lives,” Obama said....

Earlier this month, it was reported that a possible bout between Oleksandr Usyk and Tony Bellew was being targeted. Well, that fight is one step closer to coming to fruition after weeks of negotiations. Usyk’s manager, Egis Klimas, told ESPN that the undisputed cruiserweight world champion is close to striking a deal with Tony Bellew for a title fight in November. Klimas added that the fight would take place on Bellew’s U....

Nine decades on, the list of broken Western promises has grown longer. But Tony Blair means to leave all that behind. The British prime minister has long argued that an Israeli-Palestinian peace is central to solving post-9-11 security worries. He angered Arabs, his own Labour Party and continental Europeans by supporting the war in Iraq. Going forward, he knows that pushing the Americans toward an Israeli-Palestinian solution could be a giant step in mending ties with all three of those camps....

Coach Rick Carlisle said Friday the 40-year-old Nowitzki will miss “multiple weeks” with a longer-than-expected recovery from left ankle surgery in April. The Mavericks open the season Wednesday in Phoenix. Nowitzki said he had a setback when he started playing again about a week before training camp. He hasn’t practiced in the preseason. The surgery just before the end of last season was to remove bone spurs. Carlisle said the 13-time All-Star was doing better but hasn’t done any significant work on the court....

A preliminary report released about the October 12 derailment singles out a flaw in the rail car’s wheel and axle assembly that was not able to be identified through a visual check. The affected car, the 7000 series, was found to have a problem that caused the wheels to spread too wide on the axles. As a result, the NTSB is urging systems across the country to inspect for any potential defects in their trains’ wheels....

Smartphone manufacturer Nubia specializes in the latter and has just announced its latest and greatest gaming-adjacent smartphone, the RedMagic 7S Pro. This newest phone is a major advancement over last year’s 6S Pro, which is saying something as that model was already plenty beefy. First up, the “ten-layer multi-dimensional cooling system,” with internal RGB-equipped fans that spin up to 20,000rpm to keep the components from overheating even when overclocking the system for graphically intensive games....

I’ve spent a few weeks with the Nubia Watch, and despite the impressive implementation of the vibrant, flexible OLED display, I don’t think the Nubia Watch is ready for prime time just yet. Carry on reading to find out why. Design and build The Nubia Watch looks to fix many of the complaints that consumers had with the Nubia Alpha, launched in April 2019, with middling results. The Nubia Watch does look similar to its predecessor, complete with flexible wrap-around display and stainless steel body, but it’s much slicker this time around, ditching elements like the (pointless) selfie camera and the hit-and-miss IR sensor to deliver something slimmer and more attractive to the everyday consumer....

Goals from Isco, who also scored from a penalty that was awarded to the visitors in the 89th minute when Lucas Vazquez was tripped by Carlos Gutierrez, and Borja Mayoral’s header during added time capped off a brilliant display from Los Blancos.

The nine casinos reportedly won about $440 million in November, a 52 percent increase from November 2020, though the casinos are using 2019 as a more relevant comparison point since the pandemic forced months of closures and capacity limits when they were allowed to reopen.

In a recent report from Hardware Times, Nvidia has spent around $9 billion dollars in a bid to secure 5nm chips from TSMC for the company’s upcoming 4000 series. Compare this to last year, during the same quarter, in which Jensen Huang and co spent $2.54 billion. With everything that’s been going on with this generation, and the difficulty with which it’s been to produce and sell GPUs, it’s not too surprising that the tech giant is taking steps to ensure it has a better chance of meeting supply with demand once the next generation kicks in....
