However, Maradona was not just a creative playmaker; his vast repertoire of other skills also made him a versatile player. He could play as a second-striker, a centre-forward and also on the right-wing. His most famous goal, the Goal of the Century against England in the 1986 World Cup quarterfinal came when he picked the ball near the centre-circle of his own half before leaving a trail of English players in his wake....

The highly anticipated The Falcon and the Winter Soldier series finally premiered on Disney Plus on March 19. The MCU series is set to follow Sam Wilson/Falcon and Bucky Barnes/Winter Soldier six months after the events of Avengers: Endgame, which ended with Captain America passing his shield onto Sam. Though they haven’t been shown together yet, the six-episode series is meant to show the two superheroes teaming up and it looks like the terrorist group the Flag-Smashers are being set up to cause their conflict....

We are hearing that India could very soon see the hatching of HTC Butterfly, a big-ticket Android phone. Rumor has it that the premium HTC phone would hit the stores by end of this month for INR 44,000 ($812.56 USD). The device sports a 5 inch FHD Super LCD 3 screen with a 441ppi pixel density, is powered by quad-core 1.5GHz processor and houses a 2 GB RAM. The phone is known by the name of HTC J Butterfly in Japan and HTC DROID DNA in USA....

The slides depict the inner workings of Mead’s baby: the X3, a chip design that promises to supercharge, and eventually revolutionize, digital photography. The current standard is the “mosaic” method, which takes multiple adjacent pixels to generate a single dot of color, requiring a round of computation to reconstruct the image. Mead hates it: “Information is lost!” he wails, pointing to unwelcome results like the muddy moire patterns on your digital photos....

Brooks on McCain. Hayes on Obama. Krugman on Edwards. THE LOVE-IN IN L.A. (Noam Scheiber, The New Republic) WILL DEMOCRATS HAVE TO CUT A DEAL FOR THE NOMINATION? (June Kronholz, Wall Street Journal) It is increasingly looking like next week’s Super Tuesday primaries won’t produce a Democratic front-runner. So then what? The Democratic nomination isn’t likely to be settled on the floor of this summer’s convention, political experts say. But that doesn’t mean that a nomination brokered by party leaders is impossible – or that things won’t get even nastier… At that point, the loyalty of the candidates’ pledged delegates, the intentions of hundreds of currently unpledged “superdelegates,” the negotiating skill of party leaders and the outcome of a dispute over whether to seat delegates from Florida and Michigan each could prove decisive....

THE PERIL OF OBAMA (Virginia Postrel, The Atlantic) To rely on illusions is to risk disillusionment. If Obama the dream candidate becomes Obama the real president, he’ll be forced to pick sides, make compromises, and turn “hope” and “change” into policies some people like and some people don’t. Or, like the movie star governor of California, he might choose instead to preserve his glamour by letting others set the agenda....

As beautiful as The Division may be, the sheer size of the project - not just its in-game world, but the scale of development - is most astounding. Having created a brand new game engine from the ground up, the developers at Massive Entertainment have already earned extra development time with a delayed release into 2015 (and some sources saying 2016 is more realistic). The bottom line: The Division is big....

in 1970 a congressman then in his third term said the Resident Commissioner from Puerto Rico could vote in House committees, which are not created by the Constitution, but “it is very clear … that a constitutional amendment would be required to give [him] a vote in the Committee of the Whole of the full House.] By 1993 that congressman, now 15-term Tom Foley, had changed his convictions about the Constitution....

Luckily for Harrington, who appeared to be in quite a bit of pain, he had the cutest little helper to keep him calm in that moment. Harrington posted a photo to his Instagram account of his daughter holding his hand and covering his face to help ease the pain of his shots. And it worked, too, according to Harrington.

On 29th July 1911, Mohun Bagan became the first Indian team to lift the coveted IFA Shield beating a British regimental team East Yorkshire Regiment 2-1 in the final. This victory led to massive political and social upheavals and established Calcutta as the nerve centre of football in India. This match also heralded the start of Calcutta’s love affair with football. The victory of the oppressed over their oppressors in football was seen as a symbolic triumph and a huge morale-booster for activists committed to freeing India from British rule....

Nor do most Japanese salarymen. Until recently, white-collar careers were made mostly by showing up at the office day after day, tending to repetitive duties earnestly and waiting for the pension to kick in. The comfort of lifetime employment was never universal, of course. But few in postwar Japan are prepared for the insecurity and downright humiliation that are beginning to infect the national workplace. After seven years of recession, Japan’s jobless rate has risen to 4....

Based on consensus rankings and average draft position, The Decider fields a dozen on-the-clock toss-ups at wideout this week. We know Calvin Johnson dominates all, but it gets tougher beginning with the next WR1s down through the sleeper WR3s. You’ve got questions? We’ve got answers. Next up… Sammy Watkins or Mike Evans? Watkins has offered plenty of drool-worthy moments early in training camp. We know Evans, with his size (6-5, 230) and ability to go up and catch everything, will have plenty of his own....

Plasma and LCD TV: The Same, but Different Outward appearances are deceiving when it comes to LCD and Plasma TVs. Plasma and LCD TVs are flat and thin, and also incorporate many of the same operating features. Both can be wall-mounted and may offer the internet and local network streaming. Both offer up the same types of physical connectivity options. Both allow you to watch TV programs, movies, and other content in a variety of screen sizes and resolutions....

When Levitt sought testing at UCLA, researchers gave her the usual cognitive tests–name some simple objects, repeat a list of words–and assured her she was fine. But the occasional lapses continued, so she returned to the same clinic several years later and enrolled in a study aimed at distinguishing early Alzheimer’s from run-of-the-mill forgetfulness. This time the researchers didn’t just talk to her. They placed her under a scanner and recorded detailed images of her brain, both at work and at rest....

On Twitter, Tim Spencer, level director at LEGO Star Wars developer TT Games, said that he would “love” to see a “single-player narrative-driven spin-off” of The Division. Spencer’s idea for the game’s story would star a Division agent as they try to “get home to their family after being sent to NYC, during the SHD blackout from the fall of DC.” The game could “explore what a Division agent sacrifices” and the character could also be “haunted by nightmares of what could have happened to their family, because they answered the call of the SHD, so weren’t there to protect them during the fall....

With only a few weeks left until launch, Ubisoft and Massive have begun to really highlight the many activities, missions, and other things available to the endgame. Alongside a new trailer, Ubisoft has also released an infographic that features all end game activities including the first raid. During last year’s E3, Ubisoft made a point to highlight 8-player raids in The Division 2, though information on these high-end missions has been scarce....

The latest footage comes from Ubisoft themselves, as they’ve teamed up with major YouTube groups like Rocket Jump, Corridor Digital, and devinsupertramp to produce a four part live-action series based in the world of The Division. Known as Agent Origins, the live-action special examines the backstories and lives of four Division agents during the early stages of the outbreak in New York City. These agents have been recently activated in an effort to restore order and retake New York City back from the rioters and militarized groups that have begun to appear within Manhattan....
