Yes, we gave him permission to go there and we will wait to hear what Aalborg say,” Motaung told Isolezwe. “We wouldn’t have allowed him to go for trials if we didn’t want him to try his luck in Europe,” he said....

Rombauer had only a genteel education, but she read voraciously all her life and took tremendous pleasure in friends and conversation. Essentially, that’s what made ““Joy’’ a success. ““Her good luck at being an amateur cannot be overstated,’’ writes Mendelson. Unlike that of the food professionals behind the other big, basic cookbooks, Rombauer’s instinct was to convey personality, not just data. Thanks especially to Becker, an early devotee of fresh ingredients and organic farming, the kitchen basics in ““Joy’’ were extensive and often ahead of their time....

Investigators believe she may have been jealous that her daughter had bonded with her ex’s new partner.

Titled, “[Am I the a**hole] for calling my friend irresponsible for what she did while babysitting my child?” the post has received more than 9,000 upvotes and 3,500 comments in the last day....

A mother murdering her child seems almost beyond comprehension. But when a child disappears, the suggestion of something amiss can often transform the mother from victim to suspect in the public imagination. If the mother fails to exhibit the expected signs of grief, or if the details of the case imply lack of caring, she can find herself at the vortex of outrage and media frenzy, where rumor and speculation regularly trump evidence, especially when no other suspect has been found....

Rooney’s excellent long-range effort could not prevent a 2-1 Europa League loss on Thursday, after last weekend’s goalless draw at home to Burnley left United languishing eighth in the Premier League. A trip to second-bottom Swansea is up next for Mourinho’s men, with the manager conceding his forward players are lacking sharpness.
