The match is set to be an extremely tight affair as both sides have been undefeated so far in the competition. They were both placed in Group A, which consisted of five teams, with Bengal qualifying in first place with 10 points, while hosts Goa came in second with eight points from their four matches. It was a goalless draw when the two teams met each other in the league phase which saw Goa avoid defeat by the skin of their teeth as the Bengal side spurned a series of chances....

McAleenan appeared on CBS This Morning to discuss the rise of white supremacist attacks and the department’s role in monitoring and mitigating the role of extremist violence in the United States. Earlier this year, the Department of Homeland Security created a new office for targeted violence and terrorism prevention. One of the goals of the new force was to prevent racially motivated attacks. A Los Angeles Times report published on Monday stated that office is much smaller and less equipped than a similar anti-terrorism program in the Obama administration....

The deceased penguins were found by the shore near Simon’s Town on Monday. Officials also found numerous dead bees in the same area. The bee stings were the only signs of injury on the penguins’ bodies and were found around the eyes and flippers during post-mortem examinations. One of the birds was stung 27 times. African penguins are considered endangered, with a total population of around 50,000 left in the world....

“Nothing is more important than the rule of law in Hong Kong and I hope the community at large will agree with us, with these violent acts we have seen, it is right for us to condemn it and we hope society will return to normal as soon as possible,” Lam told a 4 a.m. press conference. Lam warned that those who broke into the Legislative Council headquarters and defaced the building were guilty of “extreme violence and vandalism” and could face criminal charges, some of which were then read out by Security Secretary John Lee....

Cable TV is now available in about two thirds of the country’s prisons and tens of thousands of inmates spend hours each day hooked up to headphones connected to sets in their cells. In the past, TV watching was usually restricted to communal sets in group dayrooms; there was limited choice of programs and fights were more common. With cable, inmates can select from a broader range of programs. Prison officials say they feel safer because there’s less potential for violence when prisoners watch either alone or in small groups....

Freedom may not be far away. Last weekend the state government released 14 pro- Zapatista prisoners–many held on charges that prosecutors now admit were highly suspect–and continued to review several dozen more cases. The liberation is one of several measures Mexico’s new president, Vicente Fox, has undertaken to promote peace in Chiapas. After their 12-day offensive in 1994, the rebels, named for Mexican revolutionary hero Emiliano Zapata, were pushed into a jungle stronghold....

He did give a few good speeches, off the cuff, early on in the campaign. But that was when his back was against the wall and the trailer-park Baptist in him got the better of the Rhodes scholar. He’d let fly, get a rhythm, raise goose bumps, bring tears. After that, though, most everything was either written or rote. And Clinton, whose real character flaw is that he is a lawyer, tended to take the written language more seriously, more literally (and more gingerly), than any self-respecting politician should....

However, fans now have a hard release date for Horizon Forbidden West in early 2022, assuring fans that this anticipated PlayStation title will release soon. There’s always the possibility that the date gets pushed back, since there’s nearly six months to go, but a specific release date suggests the end of Horizon Forbidden West’s journey is in sight. It does seem to come with a price, though. When Guerrilla Games announced the date, it specified Forbidden West was coming to PS4 and PS5, with no mention of a PC version....

If you use this type of birth control, you may not even be aware of its non-contraceptive benefits. Certain hormonal contraceptives have been shown to diminish the effects of hirsutism. It is important to note that women may react differently to specific contraception, so this information is intended as a general overview. Please keep in mind that hormonal contraception is meant to be used for birth control (to prevent an unintended pregnancy)—potential non-contraceptive benefits can be considered when determining which hormonal birth control method to use....

It’s a trend they just can’t seem to shake — even when they’re rolling along. Eric Hosmer and Austin Hedges homered off Tyler Anderson and the San Diego Padres cooled off the Rockies with a 4-3 win on Tuesday night. Colorado is 23-24 against teams below .500 and 45-33 versus those at or above .500. “You’re reading too much into it,” Rockies catcher Chris Iannetta said. “This team is really good....

Springhill Medical Center in Mobile, Alabama, has claimed that responsibility lies only with Dr. Katelyn Braswell Parnell, saying that she had complete knowledge of the risks when she chose to move forward with the delivery. The hospital said Parnell “was fully aware of the inaccessibility of the relevant systems, including those in the labor and delivery unit, and yet determined that Kidd could safely deliver her at Springhill,” referring to Teiranni Kidd, the baby’s mother....

Police searched 67-year-old David Fuller’s home and found evidence of the two women’s deaths. They also discovered roughly four million images and video recordings of the abuse at two hospitals in southeast England from a period of more than 12 years, the AP reported. Health Secretary Sajid Javid told lawmakers about the findings while announcing the inquiry. He said that of the 100 victims found so far, 81 had been formally identified....

Amsterdam police confirmed on Twitter that medical personnel were now taking care of the suspect after his body was examined for explosives. The police said that they stopped the suspect by striking him with a police car, and video footage posted on Twitter by a Netherlands-headquartered news agency appeared to show the vehicle colliding with the suspect during the pursuit. Video clips posted on local broadcaster AT5’s website earlier Tuesday appeared to show one person being held at gunpoint inside the store, Reuters reported....

If you forgot to plant bulbs last fall, you can celebrate spring with Smith and Hawken’s collection of preforced tulips and narcissus. Pop them in the ground or in a container, sprinkle some slow-release fertilizer and wait for the show (from $21 for 12 bulbs; www.smithandhawken.com). For July fireworks, put lilies (try Asiatic for some color, calla for some bling) in the ground now. Make sure you plant them in a sunny spot with moist soil....

CD-ROM encyclopedias are a tough market, with major competition from, among others, Grolier’s and Compton’s. Microsoft’s entry, Encarta, earns extra points for dazzling graphics. It’s easy to leap from one topic to another, with just a click of a mouse, and the 1994 version (it’s updated yearly) includes 7,000 photos and illustrations, sound, animation and video clips. The big question, for Encarta and other computer encyclopedias, is whether these products really do the job....

The Colorado Rockies shortstop will serve as captain of the NL side and select the four other members for the derby. Jose Bautista of the Toronto Blue Jays is in charge of the American League. “To be the captain, I don’t know if that’s something I’m looking forward to because of how tough the decisions are going to be,” Tulowitzki said Monday before the Rockies played the St. Louis Cardinals....

The Honor 30 Pro Plus, Honor 30 Pro and Honor 30 all have 5G connectivity and mirror parent company Huawei’s recent P40 phones in two main ways – design, and the lack of Google services integration. But this doesn’t matter one jot in the company’s native China, where Google is practically non-existent and no phones ship with the Play Store. It means the 4,999 yuan (£560) 30 Pro Plus, 3,999 (£450) yuan 30 Pro and 2,999 yuan (£340) 30 should sell well when they ship on 21 April....
