Aguero, 29, surpassed Eric Brook’s 79-year-old mark of 177 goals in City colours when his 69th-minute strike helped overcome Serie A leaders Napoli 4-2 and seal their place in the knockout stages of the competition midweek. Aguero 23/10 to score first v Arsenal Pep Guardiola’s Premier League pacesetters did it the hard way at Stadio San Paolo, having fallen behind to Lorenzo Insigne’s first-half opener. But further goals from Nicolas Otamendi, John Stones, Aguero and Raheem Sterling capped a dream night for the club’s pint-sized scoring sensation....

Days before the opening of the Tokyo Olympics, the IOC maintains its history of rejecting any “moment of silence” for the Munich 11, which arguably introduced the free world to international terrorism. The lobbying effort by victims’ families, at least in the past decade, has been rejected or ignored by the IOC. In contrast, the IOC allowed American athletes in 2002 to enter the stadium with a flag from the recently torpedoed and collapsed World Trade Center....

The move stopped play and cost him a penalty. Leggio then saved the ensuing penalty shot, so he came out on top at the end of the whole sequence.

Apple has launched Apple Books digital narration, which lets publishers automatically create high-quality audio generated by artificial intelligence (AI) from written text. It’s part of a growing movement to outsource many previously human functions like art and driving to computers. “AI is useful for narration because it can generate speech that is highly realistic and lifelike, and can do so much faster and more cheaply than human narrators,” Eldad Postan-Koren, the CEO of the AI firm Winn....

Jack Graham, the now-former staff member for Tulsa Mayor G.T. Bynum, announced his decision in a tweet Saturday. Graham posted a photo of the resignation letter that stated he had left the position effective Saturday. “I appreciate the opportunities you have given me over the years, but my heart is telling me that I can no longer effectively support you and the decisions you make for Tulsa,” Graham stated in the letter....

Kimberly Bergalis is famous because she reportedly contracted the HIV virus from her dentist, who died of AIDS. She’s famous because she’s thought to be the first person to get AIDS from a health-care worker. She and her family are now fighting an angry battle, lambasting public-health officials while calling for the testing of all health-care workers for the AIDS virus. I find Kimberly Bergalis’s personal story tragic beyond words....

The Afghans, led by Suliman Safi, have been pretty impressive in the ongoing tournament, although they failed to qualify for the final. To start with, they finished second in the table in Group C after beating Zimbabwe and Papua New Guinea (PNG). But in the semi-final, England defeated them by 15 runs (DLS Method) at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium. After opting to bat first in the 47-over rain-curtailed game, England scored 231 for six on the back of fifties from George Thomas, George Bell and Alex Horton....

Bolton, who served in Donald Trump’s administration from April 2018 to September 2019, made his assessment after five regional capitals fell to the militants since Friday. Three of those—including the strategically important Kunduz, a city of more than 350,000 people—were taken within hours of each other on Sunday. “In Afghanistan, the Taliban has seized three more provincial capitals,” he tweeted later that day. “Right now – is literally Biden’s last chance to reverse his and Trump’s erroneous withdrawal policy....

RIO DE JANEIRO (Reuters) - After 112 years golf made a quiet and subdued return to the Olympics on Thursday with Brazil’s Adilson Da Silva hitting the first shot in front of a handful of spectators. Under overcast skies and in calm conditions ideal for scoring, Da Silva was welcomed to the first tee by a smattering of applause and the whirl from hundreds of cameras as media and officials greatly outnumbered fans sprinkled through a small nearly empty stand....

When law enforcement officers tried to arrest Matthew Kaigle, a 33-year-old white male on Wednesday after he was accused of attacking a traffic guard, “Kaigle refused to exit his vehicle after being told multiple times he was under arrest,” according to a police report. “Officers did not pursue Kaigle due to his unpredictable and violent history.” In this most recent incident, Kaigle was allegedly involved in an altercation with two construction traffic flaggers....

The Yankees have traded away lefty relievers Andrew Miller and Aroldis Chapman — and the return, it should be noted, is really impressive — and seem to have accepted that 2016 will not go down in history as a playoff season for the franchise. Trading away the veteran stars to acquire young talent is absolutely the right move for the long-term health of the franchise. Without a doubt. MORE: The worst in-season trades ever for every American League team...

The Supreme Court’s ruling in Biden v. Texas, the “remain in Mexico” policy immigration challenge, is a disappointment and will have deleterious real-world consequences for America’s security and sovereignty along its porous southern border. But the Texas litigation is hardly over, and it will now return to a favorable district court judge. In all other recent meaningful cases this Supreme Court term, conservatives have indisputably triumphed. Conservatives scored huge wins for religious liberty in this term’s cases of Carson v....

Perhaps few aspects of modern American life are as startling to the outsider as the contemporary elimination of the clock as a source of limitations on the possible. In 1989 I moved to New York from Geneva, Switzerland, where many groceries actually closed for lunch and then shut their doors for the day at 6, well before I left work in the evening. My Swiss friends explained that shopping hours were based on the assumption that men had wives at home to shop for them; working women or male bachelors had to do their shopping on Saturday....

On the other side of the coin, the future for their opponents who crushed their hopes of qualifying for the last 16 seem bleak. Argentina has been an absolute mess in Russia. This is a disjointed team labouring in their matches and pinning all of their hopes on Lionel Messi. Although Marcos Rojo was the messiah against Nigeria, it is hard to see who will be the saviour when they take on France....

“There’s no question that the members of Congress that @realDonaldTrump called out have absolutely said anti-American and anti-Semitic things,” Abraham tweeted on Monday afternoon. “I’ll pay for their tickets out of this country if they just tell me where they’d rather be.” The 64-year-old lawmaker’s remarks refer to President Donald Trump’s Sunday tweet, where he urged four progressive Democratic congresswomen — Reps. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez, Ilhan Omar, Ayanna Pressley and Rashida Tlaib — to “go back and help fix the totally broken and crime infested places from which they came....

LONDON (Reuters) - Andre Agassi says that he and Novak Djokovic need to learn to trust each other if their partnership is to deliver results for the world number four. Agassi was hired by Djokovic before the French Open in a bid to address his poor run of form but the Serb was badly beaten by Austrian Dominic Thiem in the quarter-finals at Roland Garros. Djokovic went into Wimbledon on the back of winning in Eastbourne, however, and has cruised through his two matches so far at the All England Club....

RELATED: Things We Loved About Age Of Empires 4 (And Things We Don’t) Other than horses and camels, another famed animal for battle is also available in Age of Empires 4. They’re no other than War Elephants. These large creatures are also considered Heavy Cavalry, yet they’re powerful against everything, even Camels. However, they’re not easy to produce and only some units can handle them with ease. So if gamers are planning to spam War Elephants, then they should keep a lookout for these counter units....

Agent Coulson was created specially for the MCU making his first appearance in 2008’s Iron Man, going on to appear in Iron Man 2, Thor, The Avengers and most recently Captain Marvel.
