As for Benjamin Mora, changes came in the way of replacing Dominic Tan, Hazwan Bakri and Azrif Nasrulhaq with Aidil Zafuan, Mahali Jasuli and Amirulhadi Zainal....

It spread across campuses in the late 1800s because many believed it would make men of its participants. It surged in popularity in the late 1900s as an agent of student body recruitment and community bonding. Even through its continued evolution and refinement through the 2000s, its competitive format has been about as sophisticated as two people sitting at a bar.

A title like “Kill Denji” is one of those blunt titles like “Kill Bill” that doesn’t leave much to the imagination, though the same could be said for the majority of the Chainsaw Man’s episode titles. Unsurprisingly, Denji’s life is once again on the chopping block, but for once it’s his allies who will ultimately decide to kill him or not. Last week, the team found themselves mysteriously trapped on the eighth floor of the hotel they were sent to clear out, with every stairwell leading back to the same floor....

Essential workers, health care professionals, and emergency responders are working especially hard, with many clocking long hours, more shifts, and often overnight. Working long hours, particularly in stressful or physically demanding work, can lead to fatigue, which in turn can cause an increased risk of injury or poor health. Therefore, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has released advice on how to improve sleep and reduce workplace fatigue for those who are struggling....

Ruthless Real don’t need to play well Ceballos produced a fine display against potential suitors Atletico, his thunderbolt helping Betis to a 1-1 La Liga draw on Sunday. The 20-year-old youth international has previously been linked with Real Madrid but he wants to honour his contract. “I have always had a great relationship with Alexis,” Ceballos said of Betis’ interim coach. “The thing I’m focused on now is the game against Sporting and concentration on the [UEFA European Under-21 Championship], which we intend to win....

The Amavubi came into the match aware that maximum points was all they needed to remain in the competition. Prior to the match against Libya, The Antony Hey coached side had sufffered defeat against hosts Kenya and Zanzibar - 2-0 and 3-1 respectively. The Tuaregs had held Tanzania and Kenya to an identical 0-0 draw, meaning maximum points could have done them better. Libya started the match well, trying to use the wings to pressurize the opponent’s defense, a tactic that almost paid dividends earlier on....

Cedric Alexander on MVP’s words of wisdom Cedric Alexander was in conversation with talkSPORT recently. During the interview, Alexander spoke about the original plans for the fourth memeber of The Hurt Business and why the stable wasn’t challenging for the Tag Team Titles currently. Cedric Alexander also talked about The Hurt Business not being about race and what MVP told him over dinner one night. Why did Cedric Alexander join The Hurt Business?...

So much for survival of the fittest. In an age of cordless communications, the help-on-demand syndrome may be leading to a dangerous mind shift in the wilderness. And the lore of the foolish cell-phone caller is growing among the ranks of search-and-rescue squads. In New Hampshire, a group of hikers pleaded for flashlights because they had only brought along one battery-powered device - the phone. (““Press 1 if you’re a bozo....

But security experts worry that all the excitement surrounding Apple’s new device will work on hackers like a red cape to a bull. “The hype around the iPhone’s launch makes it almost certain that virus writers will attempt attacks, if only to impress their cybermates,” says Graham Cluley, consultant at the Web security firm Sophos. So far most phones haven’t been smart enough to support truly destructive viruses, which generally require a broadband connection to the Internet and hefty memory....

Levante are in 12th place in the La Liga standings at the moment and have slumped after a strong start to their season. The Valencia-based side suffered a shock 1-0 defeat to Elche and will want to bounce back in this match. Celta Vigo, on the other hand, currently find themselves in ninth place in the league table and are yet to hit their peak this year. The Galicians edged Osasuna to a 2-1 victory in their previous game and will be confident ahead of this fixture....

After a promising first quarter, Philly was outscored 101-68 over the last 36 minutes, yet the final tally failed to indicate the level of domination by Boston. The Celtics shot 51.2 percent from the field and 44.2 percent from 3-point range. They outrebounded the 76ers 43-39. They totaled 20 assists and turned the ball over just six times. During the TNT broadcast, play-by-play man Spero Dedes said the game had turned into “target practice....

Boston’s major free-agent acquisition struggled in the team’s opening loss to the Sixers on Wednesday, and it seemed to carry over into Friday’s game. But a strong fourth-quarter performance quelled any who doubted Walker would be able to bounce back. “I was so happy,” Walker said (via ESPN). “Like, ‘About time.’ It was a struggle, even from last game (vs. Philadelphia) to tonight. I wanted to kind of be myself, and these guys just allowed me to....

With the total set at 203 and AccuScore having it at 200, the UNDER is a nice wagering opportunity. The total combined score stays UNDER 203 in over 54 percent of simulations, a four-star (out of four) AccuScore hot trend. In the past week, AccuScore has gone 30-20 (60%, +800 units) picking on game totals.

According to the one-paragraph release, Ainge, 60, “received immediate medical attention and is expected to make a full recovery”. Ainge was in Milwaukee for the Celtics’ Eastern Conference semi-final series against the Bucks. He will return to Boston shortly, the Celtics said, adding that further updates will be provided as appropriate. Ainge suffered a minor heart attack in 2009 that required a brief hospital stay. Game 3 of the Celtics-Bucks best-of-seven NBA playoff series, tied 1-1, is scheduled for Friday in Boston....

The team announced the signing Thursday. Terms were not disclosed. Williams, a forward-center out of Texas A&M, was selected 27th overall last month with the Celtics’ lone draft pick. Williams’ signing comes days after he received a lecture from the team about accountability following a pair of off-the-court incidents. The 20-year-old slept through a scheduled conference call with reporters the day after the draft and then failed to catch a flight from his native Louisiana to Boston in time for a summer league practice....

The Celtics and Bucks are on a collision course after steamrolling their respective first-round opponents. The Celtics were the only team to pull off a sweep in the first round, defeating the Brooklyn Nets in a shocking four-game fashion. Toward the back end of the season, once it became clear that the Nets would be a Play-In Tournament team and a potential first-round matchup for one of the top two seeds, teams began to position themselves away from that possible matchup....

The Celtics are clearly playoff-tested given what they went through against the Bucks, overcoming a 3-2 deficit and winning Game 7 emphatically. Boston now moves on to see the Heat, who have been waiting since their dismantling of the eroding Sixers.

The 36-year-old brought up his century of goals almost 15 years on from opening his account for Aston Villa against Newcastle Untied in April 2002 with a simple finish early in the first half at the bet365 Stadium. “I’m really pleased. I wasn’t on 99 for that long so it was nice to get it out of the way. It was a proud moment for myself, I look along that list of players and I’m very proud and privileged to be among them,” Crouch told British media....

John Earnest, 22, a former nursing student, entered the plea with the San Diego Superior Court to avoid the death penalty, agreeing to serve the rest of his life in prison without the possibility of parole. Sentencing with the San Diego County district attorney’s office is scheduled for Sept. 30. Under federal prosecution, Earnest may still face the death penalty. The U.S. attorney’s office may seek capital punishment, but the decision has not been made yet....

The former Bengals star suited up Friday for the CFL’s Montreal Alouettes. Facing the expansion Ottawa Redblacks in an exhibition game, Johnson made one catch, a 13-yarder from 2007 Heisman Trophy winner Troy Smith on the Als’ first play from scrimmage. Whether the move north will lead to a job down south (aka the States) is much in doubt. Johnson is 36 and hasn’t played a game that counts since late in 2011 for the Patriots....
