Despite stiff competition from countries emulating his polymer design, Glock 17 handguns serve with such diverse forces as the British Armed Forces, the Swedish Armed Forces, Indian special forces, the Iraqi military, the Israeli Defense Forces and the Yemeni military. The Glock 17 outfits... Читать дальше...

Imagine being told that you have to play a 'home' game some 1,300 kilometres away from your supporters, and what's worse, the fixture will be just down the road from your opponents. This is the near-farcical situation that has befallen South African Premier Soccer League side Cape Town City, who must play their 'home' league clash against Maritzburg United in KwaMashu, KwaZulu-Natal on Tuesday. This is because there are no stadia in Cape Town available that meet the PSL's minimum requirements after...

It has Latin roots and a double spiritual meaning.

In the weeks before Christmas many Christians around the world celebrate a season of preparation called "Advent." However, few know what this word actually means.

The word "Advent" stems from the Latin word adventus, which literally means "coming" or "arrival." In context, this commonly refers to the coming of Jesus on Christmas day.

St. Jerome, when composing the Latin Vulgate, also used adventus when translating the Greek word parousia. Читать дальше...

As Shohei Ohtani whittles down the teams that he will deign his presence with, it does seem odd that 'The Babe Ruth Of Japan' cast aside the only two teams who actually had success with the real Babe Ruth. Mostly on his pitching arm, the Red Sox rode a young Ruth to three World Series Championships (1915, 1916, 1918) before infamously dealing him away to The Evil Ones on the day after Christmas in 1919. Mostly on the power of his bat, The Bronx Embalmers rode Ruth to four rings (interestingly, for all the added hoopla... Читать дальше...

It was doubtful any were actually in attendance at the first national golf conference in Edinburgh, yet there was absolutely no doubt so-called “nomadic golfers” will play a key part in the future landscape of the game at club level in Scotland, which was the main subject of Saturday’s meeting.

• Warren Buffett's secret to success is intense focus — instead of doing more, he does less. 
• He once told his pilot that in order to reach his goals, he needed to do three things. 
• The first was to write down his 25 top goals, and then circle the top 5 most important.
• Then, separate the top 5 into their own list — and goals 6-25 get put on a 'not to do' list.
• Ignore everything on the 'not to do' list until you've achieved your  top 5. Читать дальше...

The point I was trying to make was the running around chasing lost causes. At one point in the game he was nearly at the halfway line with their goalkeeper in possession of the ball and he set off on such a sprint back towards their keeper when really it was a waste of his energy. I love his enthusiasm and dedication but I would prefer him to save... Читать дальше...
