“I have similar thoughts about our supporters. On Wednesday night I think everyone was impressed by how supportive you were in difficult circumstances. So much so that it was a question that kept coming up when I was carrying out my media duties after the game.“This is why I always say we do not take this kind of support for granted. Yes, we can and should be aware of the incredible atmospheres that are created when things are going well in the biggest games, but we should be equally aware – and appreciative of – the backing we get at…

Although theories differ on the role of the individual in shaping history, it was Russian philosopher Georgi Plekhanov who most effectively sought to strike a balance between historical determinism and the influence of individuals on its course.  Today, the case of Marwan Barghouti provides a strong example of that balance, as US President Donald Trump publicly mulls pushing for the jailed Palestinian leader’s release. Trump’s striking comments have drawn attention to Barghouti’s significance in shaping the contours of the future Palestinian political landscape. Yet the Palestinian people have long recognised Barghouti’s importance, envisioning his rise to a prominent political role.…

China’s stealth revolution just kicked into overdrive, as a rapidly evolved J-36 prototype signals its audacious bid to outpace the US in the race for next-generation air dominance. Last month, multiple media outlets reported that images circulating on Chinese social media appear to show a second prototype of China’s large three-engine stealth aircraft, unofficially dubbed the J-36. The imagery shows it taking flight near the military-industrial hub of Chengdu, roughly 10 months after the first airframe surfaced in late December 2024. The new prototype features significant structural changes, including revised intakes, a re-engineered landing-gear system and a new exhaust layout,…

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — Lee Soo Man resisted the title at first. “King of K-pop” sounded too brash, too nightclub-esque — like something you’d see on a neon sign in Itaewon, a nightlife neighborhood in the South Korean capital Seoul once popular with U.S. soldiers and foreign visitors. “I asked them, ‘Couldn’t it be Father of K-pop?’” the 73-year-old recalled during a recent interview with The Associated Press.He was discussing the title of Amazon Prime’s documentary about his career. The producers insisted the bolder moniker would resonate better with American audiences. After some back-and-forth, Lee relented. “I had to…

She faced 16 candidates from smaller parties.The Oct. 29 election was marred by violence as demonstrators took to the streets of major cities to protest the…

And of course, sugar skulls — the final touch on altars honoring deceased loved ones during Mexico’s Day of the Dead.Just like the traditional “ pan de muerto,” these colorful treats known as “calaveritas” (or little skulls) capture how Mexicans remember their dearly departed with celebration rather than sorrow each November.“Very few customers buy them to eat,” said Adrián Chavarría, whose family has crafted and sold calaveritas since the 1940s in a Mexico City market. “Most people get them to decorate their altars.”Following a tradition rooted in pre-Hispanic beliefs related to agriculture,…
