But which ones are worth a reader’s while today? Here are a few suggestions. 8 Urusei Yatsura Takahashi’s breakout romantic comedy manga for Weekly Shonen Sunday may have only been a cult hit outside of Japan, but it was a big deal in its home country....
But some locals would rather take in the welcome mat, or at least roll it back a little. “Duval Street was beautiful,” says architect Michael Miller, whose office overlooks the city’s mile-long 19th-century main drag. “Now half of it’s a carnival midway.” Key West is under attack from the sea, they say, as giant cruise ships every day disgorge thousands of passengers on bargain runs out of Miami and Ft....
Turkey’s latest sporting rejection on Thursday came one week after it lost out to Germany over the right to stage soccer’s 2024 European Championship. The country had also failed with bids to host Euro 2008, 2012 and 2016. In addition, Istanbul is a five-time loser in Summer Games bidding, including the 2020 Olympics to be held in Tokyo.

"This will be under discussion," Bach said at a news conference on Wednesday.

Baseball and softball were dropped from the 2012 program after a 2005 vote by the IOC. They failed in a bid to be reinstated for the Olympic program for 2020 and 2024 at an IOC vote in September, but Tokyo's winning bid has refueled calls for them to be included when the Japanese capital hosts the games....
The formidable IOC team, comprising a number of internationals, dominated the summit clash, after having come through a thrilling semifinal Saturday (against Indian Army). The Railways, on the other hand, had outplayed Punjab & Sind Bank in the semifinal, but couldn’t raise its game when it mattered the most. The match got off to a quick start with both teams looking to get the breakthrough early to lay down the marker....
McCaffery sounded upset that North Dakota was being overly aggressive when Iowa had the game well in hand. The final straw was a steal and a layup (that was waved off) at the buzzer. MORE: Top 16 programs since 2000 The anger hadn’t subsided by the time McCaffery held his postgame news conference. Making the situation even more awkward: North Dakota is coached by former Iowa assistant Brian Jones, and one of Jones’ assistants, Jeff Horner, played for the Hawkeyes....
But first, he’ll look to rebuild his reputation following a pair of offseason arrests. Jok was arrested on his moped twice since the end of last season — once for drunk driving, once for driving with a revoked license. He pleaded guilty to both charges. He served a four-day jail sentence last month. There’s little doubt that the 6-foot-6 Jok has a chance to develop into an All-Big Ten player for the Hawkeyes....
The 2019 version introduced a new 10.2in screen size, and is just known as ‘iPad’ despite technically being the seventh generation.

Perhaps all the jailbreaks got the Cupertino giant worried. If this indeed becomes true, the iPhone 6S could be faster and sexier than what the A8 chipsets allowed on the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus. Further scoop here reveals a probable tie up between Apple and Samsung to manufacture the chipset....
Now Apple has iterated that design to create the XS, but aside from the gold finish, there isn’t really anything new to see on the outside. What is new, though, is the XS Max, a larger option that gives us the biggest screen yet in an iPhone at a whopping 6.5in. The design is the same, but importantly the fact that there’s feature parity across both models mean you no longer have to compromise if you want the smaller phone as you did when you chose the iPhone 8, say, over the 8 Plus....

The IPL has also brought new faces who have outstanding performances to their name. In a season where any target looks like one that can be chased down and any total can be defended the abilities of young prodigies have come to light. However, some seasoned campaigners in the IPL have found it hard to come on terms and have not been in the scheme of things lately.
