Ronoh, who has won multiple marathons including the 2011 Hong Kong Marathon, 2013 Cologne Marathon and 2014 Ljubljana Marathon, holds a personal best of 2:26:03 hours and on paper is not the likeliest candidate to win in Berlin, reports Xinhua. Ethiopia’s Aberu Kebede leads the favourite tag having twice won in Berlin (2010, 2012) before finishing second last year behind Kenya’s Gladys Cherono. “I have no doubt of my ability and in every race, it is about strategy and focus....

In case you did not know Jadhav recently attained stardom after his heroics in the recent One-Day International (ODI) series against England. Though he made his debut in ODI and T20 cricket back in 2014, it was in the England series that he could finally make a mark.

Fantasy Football 2022: Should you start Keenan Allen in Week 4? Put simply, Allen and Herbert’s injuries make the wide receiver a boom-or-bust prospect. Think of him as a flex this week with starting potential. If he has a good week, he could become a long-term starter next week. However, both he and Herbert need to prove a bit more durability first. Now on the plus-side of 30 years old, any absence could be seen as the start of his decline....

The Nobel Prize should be more than ample recompense for the prize Morrison is famous for not getting: the 1987 National Book Award, which went to Larry Heinemann’s “Paco’s Story,” rather than to Morrison’s “Beloved.” Forty-eight black writers and critics signed a statement protesting the neglect by major awards panels; later that year “Beloved” won the Pulitzer Prize. Morrison, in fact, has long had at least a modest place in the literary establishment: she’s been a graduate student at Cornell (her 1955 master’s thesis was on Faulkner and Virginia Woolf), a trade-book editor at Random House and, since 1987....

Brock Osweiler didn’t do anything to mess all of that up. MORE: Scoreboard | Osweiler reportedly gets at least one more start | Images That’s all the Broncos needed Sunday in their 17-15 close shave in Chicago, and that’s all they’ll need whenever he plays from now on.

According to Greek mythology, several Trojan priests and scholars warned the horse was a trick, noting it defied reason to believe the Greeks, known for their subterfuge on the battlefield, had simply packed up and returned home empty-handed. These skeptics were deemed alarmists, and the wooden horse was wheeled inside Troy’s walls. The rest, of course, is history. The United States and its allies now find themselves confronting an equally shrewd adversary in the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), which is eager to exploit our complacency and openness to foreign interests....

Last week, the U.S. government highlighted a “blind spot” in defending our nation in cyberspace. Our adversaries used infrastructure that is based here in the United States. These facts once again demonstrate that as a nation, we simply are not organized, equipped, or trained effectively to take on this mission. More now than ever, as we become even more reliant on our cyber infrastructure in a post-COVID environment, it is critical that the government and the private sector work together to address this significant shortfall....

With him would perish another piece of the rich Czech brewing tradition. As lager lovers know, Czech territory is to beer what Burgundy is to wine. “Liquid bread” has been made here for a millennium, and the Czechs annually chug about 160 liters per capita– by far the most in the world. But more and more, they’re drinking products poured by foreigners, who have bellied up to the bar in a big way since the Czechs joined the global economy....

Having turned in a revelatory performance in the AFC U19 Championship qualification recently, Malaysia U19 playmaker Nik Akif Syahiran Nik Mat looks to be staying in Kota Bharu for the 2018 season. Initial attention towards head coach Bojan Hodak’s Young Tigers had been directed towards Kedah’s Akhyar Rashid and JDT II’s Hadi Fayyadh Abdul Razak, both of whom had been playing club football at the senior level. Akif meanwhile had been playing exclusively at the youth level for Kelantan in 2017, and in October had helped the club reach the President’s Cup semi-final stage....

More than 1,400 Kellogg employees walked out on October 5 at plants at Battle Creek, Michigan; Omaha, Nebraska; Lancaster, Pennsylvania; and Memphis, Tennessee, threatening production and supply of some Kellogg’s most popular cereals.

Largely because of the Rot, Kena has been compared to another game: Pikmin. It’s not without good reason; the cute little creatures that follow Kena are remarkably similar to Pikmin, the plant-like creatures from an alien planet that help the player on their journey. The comparison, overall, may end up being one of the best parts of the game. RELATED: PlayStation Console Exclusive Kena: Bridge of Spirits Has Budget Price...

The U.S. and the European Union have been among the world powers calling for a truce to end one of the fiercest escalations the conflict has seen in almost a decade.
