Bessie Hatathlie steps out of her cinder-block house just before dawn. Stretching about her in all directions is shadowy grassland; above her, the sky is still filled with chunky stars. She walks a few steps toward the hill where her horses and sheep are corralled and sprinkles an arc of cornmeal in the air-an offering to the gods who she believes will rise with the sun and pass over her house and her family....
Belotti, 23, is reportedly a target for Chelsea after scoring 26 Serie A goals last season. But the nine-time Italy international is contracted until mid-2021 and Cairo said it would take €100m for an overseas club to secure Belotti’s signature. No teams are yet willing to meet that demand, according to the club’s president. “I chose the clause to be €100m abroad remember, because it is very high and for the moment no-one has come in for him,” Cairo said....

Sportsmates have more detailed hair and face customization options, as well as having arms and legs, which the Mii avatars lacked....
While all of this will make for what fans can only assume will be a fun game (see our hands-on preview), there’s still a heavy desire for a new single-player focussed Super Mario title that’s reminiscent of Super Mario 64 or even Super Mario Sunshine. According to an interview between Gamekult and Super Mario 3D World’s producer, Yoshiaki Koizumi, the reasoning for straying away from the husky hero’s traditional 3D formula was a need for simplicity, as players allegedly didn’t know where to go in some of the plumber’s large-scale adventures....

The Serbian staved off two break points at 4-4 in a closely contested opening set, but a costly double fault on set point from Zverev gave the world number one the initiative. Third seed Zverev only won one more game as he committed numerous unforced errors and Djokovic closed out the match inside 67 minutes, moving to the brink of an eighth appearance in the semi-finals. “I don’t think it was breathtaking tennis to be honest from both of us but a win is win,” said the 14-time grand slam champion in an on-court interview....
The capital is reported as having fewer than 24 cases a day, two months after it was hit by 200,000 cases a day. The claim is being based on conclusions drawn from joint modeling by Public Health England and the University of Cambridge’s MRC Biostatistics Unit, which tracks the rate of infection (the R-value), the number used to refer to the ability of the disease to spread. If the R is 1, one person with the virus would infect, on average, one other person so the rate of people infected would remain around the same....
Trump is an unconventional president, one not anchored in any way to the traditional notions of how modern presidents are supposed to behave. His tweets and smashmouth approach toward his opponents do little to endear him to those who think presidents are supposed to remain above the fray at all times. He is a combatant, a battler who gives better than he believes he gets. It’s an interesting narrative with more than just a little truth....

Chelsea were 4-0 winners at Qarabag in the Champions League on Wednesday, but the Premier League champions ran into some problems on their return, as wind affected their attempts to land in London.

In a recent tweet, Spencer confirms that this year will be slightly different for Microsoft, who will not have a Gears or Halo-led slate. As Spencer puts it, 2017 will focus on “new experiences with different IP.” There might not have been any evidence to support it, but some Xbox fans hoped that Microsoft would pull a page out of Bethesda’s book and announce Halo 6, reveal some gameplay, and then set a 2017 release date....
