CC Sabathia won’t be on the Opening Day roster, but the veteran lefty took a step Saturday toward eventually being ready to join the Yankees’ rotation during the first month of the season. Sabathia graduated from throwing bullpen sessions to a simulated game on Field 2 next to Steinbrenner Field in front of a Blue...
Monash University has been named the fastest growing 'Sugar Baby' school in Australia, with 209 new student sign-ups to a popular dating service in the last 12 months.
The one thing you could always say about the Conservative Party was that, no matter how divided it might seem, it knew how to do unity when the occasion demanded.
I am currently on my first (and last) sabbatical leave. A week in Sudan was followed by just over two weeks in Jena (Germany) and a week in Basel (Switzerland). I then flew to Washington DC and came to the School of Theology at University of the South in Sewanee, Tennessee, USA (via Roanoke VA, then Abingdon VA to preach).

Manchester United were dumped out of the FA Cup by Wolves on Saturday, much to Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's frustration.
Have we had a decent free kick specialist since he left?

Tanitoluwa Adewumi, who lives with his family in a shelter in New York City, went from chess novice to chess champion in little over a year.
I refer to the article ‘Teachers, union voice concerns over plans for new ‘applied’ subjects’ (The Sunday Times of Malta, March, 10). The article gives the impression that the changes being implemented are being introduced overnight with no planning whatsoever. This is far from being the case. In fact, these changes are aimed at something over which there is unanimous consensus and which has been a long time coming: to increase the number of students who successfully achieve their educational pathway while in compulsory education.

No, it is not artificial intelligence taking over. Nor is it an army of robots, an alien invasion or a space odyssey. Far worse than that, it is the sound of bad design, poor customer care, a careless attitude, unbridled selfishness, bad parenting and general stupidity. It is the sound of the lovely ‘massaging armchairs’ found at Malta International Airport, which beep constantly when sat on without being fed the right coinage. Naturally, a number of in-dividuals, from mischievous children to headphone-wearing... Читать дальше...
I refer to the article entitled ‘Please save my cheeky boy’ (The Sunday Times of Malta, March 10). Now, if such a story doesn’t sadden you, I don’t know what will. The joy of keeping such a horse, which suffers from a genetic stifle joint problem, is more valuable than anything else. The horse’s owner, who has made sure that the animal is pain free, certainly deserves a pat on the back. The horse can run free, but not be ridden, and therefore can enjoy life to the full. Unfortunately the horse’s condition is a result of inbreeding... Читать дальше...
The story in The Sunday Times of Malta (‘Police ‘tenor’ in trouble again’, March 10), about the reinstated policeman who was promoted to sergeant and is being investigated for allegedly breaching disciplinary rules, made really interesting reading on a Sunday morning. The best part, in my opinion, is when Michael Farrugia, the Home Affairs Minister, “confirmed that the police disciplinary board, set up as an independent body, is investigating …” Being of an inquisitive nature, may I ask by whom was this “independent investigating body” set up?

MONROE, La. – Ten trumpet students at a Louisiana university are offering to play Taps at veterans’ funerals, rather than leave the haunting farewell bugle call to a recording. Talons for Taps is a group named because the Warhawk is mascot of the University of Louisiana at Monroe. All of the students are taught by Assistant Professor Eric Siereveld. Siereveld said he suggested the volunteer program and explained the importance of acknowledging the sacrifices that service members make. Music education... Читать дальше...
The Six Nations came to an exhilarating, extraordinary finale as George Ford rescued England with an 83rd-minute converted try.
Every month I correspond with the accounts department of this newspaper, and thanks to this exchange of e-mails, month in, month out, for more than a decade now, I’ve kept in touch with reliable, dependable Roberta. Aside from the boring invoicing, we get to brief each other about the little ups and downs of our lives. This winter, my e-mails have had their fair share of lamentation on the weather – the never-ending cold spells have made me miserable indeed. In our mail last month – the week after that hurricane storm ... Читать дальше...
With so many new judges about to be appointed to serve in the national courts of Malta as well as in the regional courts under the auspices of the Council of Europe and the European Union, it is pertinent to bring to the attention of the authorities and the public in general the judgment delivered this month by the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg on March 12, 2019 in the case of Guðmundur Andri Ástráðsson v. Iceland (Application no. 26374/18). Naturally, this judgment will also have... Читать дальше...
