Bayern made the decision to relieve Ancelotti of his position last month following the team’s 3-0 loss to Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League. Bayern 13/2 to win CL with dabblebet There had been rumours in the weeks leading up to his sacking that several key players in the dressing room were unhappy with his methods and had expressed that behind the scenes. Bayern sit five points behind pacesetters Borussia Dortmund after seven matches, but Muller does not believe all the blame should be laid at the feet of Ancelotti....

The Colombian Army and the U.S. State Department blamed the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, or FARC, the country’s largest rebel group. By late last week, the FARC had not responded to the charge. More than 80 Americans have been seized during Colombia’s 34-year civil war–not all of them by the FARC–but this was the first confirmed case of murder. Many Colombians wondered whether the rebels would kill activists who seemed to share their opposition to oil exploration on U’wa land....

The 33-year-old is a respected oddball on the folk and punk fringe and a celebrated curiosity in the world beyond. Howle’s received accolades in The New York Times, opened for Bob Dylan and been called a “melodic, nimble being” by Ani DiFranco. But the eccentric singer still prefers to fly under the radar. She’s signed to the Southern indie label Daemon Records and sells most of her albums via Daniellehowle....

Ozawa makes conducting look easy. But in truth his tux tails are harder than ever to fill–not because there is a shortage of aspiring conductors but because they’re facing increasingly complex challenges. For starters, the popularity of classical music is on the decline. As entertainment options continue to multiply, orchestras are searching for new ways to stay relevant and raise revenue. Meanwhile, the classical repertoire continues to grow exponentially, overwhelming the typical student....

O’Connell interviewed Bowie in 2002, and in this Q&A, he shares his insights about Bowie and how this book came into being. Why this book? I’ve been a Bowie superfan since I was about 12. I wanted to honor him with a book, and after his top 100 list appeared, I thought it would be fun to tease out connections between the titles and Bowie’s life and work. What surprised you about meeting Bowie?...

Music lovers know they’ll be able to hear jazz in New Orleans and reggae in Kingston, but here are some other surprising sounds worth taking note of in music meccas around the world. 1. Acoustic Baton Rouge, Louisiana Often overlooked for neighboring New Orleans’ Bourbon Street, Baton Rouge is a haven for local and traveling artists. This Louisiana city is known for nonprofit “listening rooms,” where musicians make their money through “chair donations” from the audience....

The automated @ElonJet account, which Musk previously said would remain online due to his belief in “free speech,” was briefly restored hours after being suspended by Twitter on Wednesday morning. It was banned again a short time later, with Musk saying that the account had helped a “crazy stalker” follow his son. The billionaire also threatened to sue account creator Jack Sweeney and “organizations” that support “harm” to his family....

Over the past year or so, we’ve become familiar with scenes of parents protesting school boards over sexually explicit content in schools. But Monday’s event featured a new cast: Hundreds of predominantly Arab and Muslim Americans joined their Christian neighbors to oppose the sexually explicit, pro-LGBTQ materials popping up in their kids’ public school education. Dearborn is next to Detroit, home to the largest Muslim population in the United States per capita, as well as the largest mosque in the country....

Celtic will beat a host of clubs to the 21-year-old midfielder, including Real Betis, Leganes and Nottingham Forest, whilst several unnamed English clubs were also thought to be interested. Brendan Rodgers has been a long-term admirer of Musonda and he has promised that he will help develop the young midfielder at Celtic Park. Chelsea had a strong say in the player’s temporary move, encouraging him to join a club where he is likely to get maximum game time....

In the fight against sexual harassment, schools are the last frontier. The Clarence Thomas hearings raised awareness of harassment on the job, but “there are things that go on in the hallways, the parking lots, at band practice, that are as bad if not worse,” says Pat Callbeck Harper, a “gender-equity specialist” for the Montana schools. Experts also believe that the boy who throws spitballs at girls in his class will grow up to be the man who tries to drop peanuts down their dresses at bars....

The answer is simple: Words matter. “Hold up Barsky! Donald Trump said a lot of horrible things in 2016! If words mattered, he wouldn’t be president,” said everyone who still can’t believe Clinton lost. I’m going to take this a step further. I’m about to tell you the exact moment Clinton lost. It’s a moment everybody has seen and heard. I don’t have inside information, but I do have perspective that I believe will lead to a better understanding....

When I grade written work by students, one of the phrases I hate most is “It goes without saying,” in response to which I scribble on their essays, “Then why write it?” Another favorite of undergraduates is “It’s not for me to say,” to which I jot in their blue books, “Then why continue writing?” I also despise the phrase “Who can say?” to which I reply, “You! That’s who!...

But on Wednesday, as the Bobcats defeated the Washington Wizards, Neal didn’t leave the bench — not even once. Instead, he served a one-game absence for an “internal team matter,” which sounds a lot like a one-game suspension. Neal refused to discuss the matter when asked on Friday. When Neal returned, however, his play left no doubt that the message — whatever it was — had been received. MORE: Neal sits out for “internal team matter”...

The spiral formed over the South Island at around 7:30 p.m. local time on Sunday, and was seen by people in Queenstown and Motueka, according to the New Zealand Herald. Eyewitnesses say that the spiral wasn’t stationary, rather, it was drifting northwards. Alasdair Burns, a stargazing guide and photographer at Twinkle Dark Sky Tours on Stewart Island, told the Guardian: “It looked like an enormous spiral galaxy, just hanging there in the sky, and slowly just drifting across....

Workers have been using buckets and diggers to remove huge piles of dead fish, which are then incinerated. The exact cause of the tragedy has not been established, but investigators believe it could be the result of pollution. Speaking to the BBC Andrzej Kapusta, from Poland’s Inland Fisheries Institute, said it would be difficult to determine an exact cause. He commented: “It will be difficult to get a clear answer to what caused it....

Several people from Del Mar to Chula Vista posted on social media early Wednesday afternoon that the boom had shaken doors and furniture, as well as startling pets, ABC 10 reported. “Felt it in La Jolla / Windansea - even my dogs started barking!” one Twitter user, @eith3r_0r, posted. Many people suggested that the sound could have been produced by an earthquake. “Mysterious boom heard along San Diego Coast. And I thought it was an earthquake,” Twitter user, @adolfo_v, wrote....

The green pool was first spotted at the end of July after a helicopter collecting data on the volcano flew over the crater. An image from the trip showed a green patch at the base that looked like water. The presence of this could not be confirmed from the single image—and there had never been any written observations of water from inside Halema’uma’u, so its presence would be “unusual,” Hawaii Volcano Observatory (HVO) scientist emeritus Don Swanson said at the time....

Georgia held a Senate runoff on January 5, 2021 after none of the candidates garnered the majority of the vote for either of the two seats up for grabs in the November 3, 2020 general election. Under Georgia’s election laws, a candidate must garner more than 50 percent of the vote to be declared the winner. Since none of the candidates met this threshold, the runoffs were held between the two GOP incumbents—former Senators Kelly Loeffler and David Perdue—and their top opponents, Democratic Senators Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff....

Like Trump, Lindell continues to promote the baseless conspiracy theory that President Joe Biden and the Democrats “stole” or “rigged” the 2020 election. Despite dozens of election lawsuits filed by Trump and his supporters in state and federal court, no evidence of widespread fraud has been brought forward to corroborate this extraordinary claim. But in Friday comments on the War Room: Pandemic podcast, which is hosted by former Trump adviser Steve Bannon, Lindell claimed he has been collecting evidence that will soon be brought before the Supreme Court....
