Son must step up to become World Cup great, says South Korea coach Shin
By Michael Church HONG KONG (Reuters) – Son Heung-min needs to overcome his status as a marked man after an impressive season for Tottenham Hotspur if he is to establish himself among the game’s elite at the World Cup in Russia, says South Korea coach Shin Tae-yong. Son has emerged as a leading light of Asian football since moving to Tottenham from Bayer Leverkusen in 2015, becoming an integral part of Mauricio Pochettino’s exciting and dynamic team over the last three seasons. The 25-year-old scored 12 times in 27 starts for Spurs in the past season as the north London club finished third in the Premier League, however Son has yet to make a similar impact for his country. And Shin believes the former Hamburg SV winger has become a victim of his own success. “He’s done well with Tottenham and he’s one our best attacking options,” Shin told Reuters. “He enhances our team totally with his attacking ability. “Honestly speaking, when he … [Read more...] about Son must step up to become World Cup great, says South Korea coach Shin
Pro-Trump Signs in Jerusalem: ‘Trump, Make Israel Great’
JERUSALEM, Israel — Several main streets of Jerusalem are bedecked in Israeli and American flags in celebration of the upcoming transfer of the U.S. embassy to the city on Monday — and one major intersection in the center of the city features an explicit pro-Trump message. “Trump, make Israel great,” says one. “Trump is a friend of Zion,” says another.The signs reflect the mood in Israel, where President Donald Trump is rapidly becoming a hero, thanks in part to his decision to move the embassy, as well as his decision on Tuesday to pull the U.S. out of the nuclear deal with Iran.But they also represent the specific institution that paid for the signs to occupy their present position near the Old City: the Friends of Zion Museum. The museum opened in 2015 and “resents a technologically advanced, interactive experience that tells the story of the dream of restoration of the Jewish people to their historic homeland and the brave non-Jews who … [Read more...] about Pro-Trump Signs in Jerusalem: ‘Trump, Make Israel Great’

“Sorry sir, you are made to suffer at the hands of our people too, as, unfortunately, this is how the bureaucratic dogmatism with wooden approach works, at times, in this country, for which you fought to get freedom”.The Madras High Court has apologised to an 89-year-old freedom fighter, V Gandhi, who waited “patiently” for freedom fighter pension for 37 long years before moving the court.Justice K Ravichandrabaabu extended apologies to Gandhi while directing the Secretary to the Government, Tamil Nadu Public (political pension – III) department and the District Collector to give him his due within two weeks along with arrears “at his door steps”.The court was exasperated at the fact that the government gave lame excuse of discrepancy in his age which was immaterial when noted freedom fighter Padma Bhushan Col Lakshmi Sahgal had vouched for his claim of having fought in the freedom struggle as part of the Indian National Army.The court was … [Read more...] about “Sorry Sir” Says Madras HC To 89-Yr-Old Freedom Fighter Made To Wait For Pension For 37 Years [Read Order]

It commissioned Gallup for the survey.For respondents who graduated from law school during the Great Recession—which the report describes as being from 2009 and 2017—only 44 percent indicated that they had a “good job” waiting for them when they graduated.
