India will open its title defence against minnows Hong Kong China on August 22 followed by games against Japan (August 24), Korea (August 26) and Sri Lanka (August 28). “Though we are the defending champions, we cannot take any team lightly....

Group A: China (11), Japan (14), Malaysia (22), Hong Kong (44) and Chinese Taipei (53). Group B: India (9), South Korea (10), Thailand (28), Kazakhstan (34) and Indonesia (64). At the Incheon Asian Games in 2014, South Korea defeated China 1-0 to claim the Gold. India defeated Japan 2-1 to win the Bronze. We expect these four teams to fight for medal positions in the 2018 Asian Games. Let us take a look at their performances in the last four years: In the 2017 Asia Cup in Japan, India defeated China in the penalty shoot out to claim the Gold....

The background Sojan is a rising track and field athlete in India and one of Kerala’s top athletes at the moment. She made the headlines last year when she recorded a 6.24m long jump at the Kerala State School meet. She had also been named in the India camp for the South Asian Games last year but decided to give it a miss to take part in the State School Athletics meet in Kannur....

The controversial passage reads: “The two nations confirm that they will abide by all international agreements related to the nuclear issue on the Korean Peninsula.” Pyongyang’s nuclear confession last week made it clear that the North Koreans had been violating nonproliferation agreements since the late 1990s. The problem for Japan’s leader is that the United States briefed him on its evidence of North Korea’s covert uranium-enrichment program prior to his trip to Pyongyang....

Below, Doru Paul, MD, PhD, an oncologist who focuses on individualizing care and improving the prognosis of cancer treatments, describes the importance of checking yourself for breast cancer, and how early detection can lead to a better prognosis. Verywell Health: What is the first thing someone should do to check for breast cancer? Dr. Paul: Every single person should know their breasts and how to self-examine them. When a person takes a shower, they should know how their breasts typically feel....

Following the dissemination of this teaser, Kotaku is now reporting that its sources have confirmed a Viking-themed Assassin’s Creed title planned for 2020. Kotaku’s Jason Schreier has admitted knowledge of the next Assassin’s Creed for some time now, but has preserved that knowledge over questions regarding when it’s appropriate to potentially spoil an announcement. That line was crossed with the discovery of The Division 2’s Assassin’s Creed teaser and now Schreier cites two anonymous independent sources who have confirmed the next game’s Viking theme....

As seen in the picture below from the Imgur user known as “jimmyfallon007,” not only does it appear as if the sequel is set to be dubbed Assassin’s Creed: Origins, but also Ubisoft seems to have plans for a Gold Edition of the title that offers additional goodies such as the base game, a deluxe pack, a steelbook case, as well as the entire season pass for post-launch content. Furthermore, there looks to be an incentive to pre-order, for those who do will receive a bonus mission called “Secrets of the First Pyramids....

Police were carrying out searches ahead of the Yellow Vests protests in Paris, France last week and in the Saint-Lazare area, they approached 27 year old Thomas G. who wore a military backpack, a black mask, and sunglasses. Thomas G. looked suspicious and began to flee from the officers who quickly caught up to him and performed a search. When performing the search, they found that the man had two devices strapped to his forearms....

From 2007 to 2015, from AC1 to Syndicate, there were only two notable exceptions to this rule (both of which are super minor in hindsight). Assassin’s Creed Rogue featured Shay Cormac, who was an ex-Assassin turned Templar, and he had all the skills of an Assassin. He was one in all but name and purpose, at least from a gameplay perspective. Then, there’s Black Flag’s Edward’s Kenway. RELATED: Assassin’s Creed Avoids Its Own Setting and Time Period Teases...

The Assassin’s Creed Mirage trailer showed fans what to expect from the franchise in terms of going back to its roots, but also its future by showing off open-world RPGs like Assassin’s Creed Red and other, “different” titles like Assassin’s Creed Hexe. But after Valhalla, Mirage is the next big hurdle and the one with all the eyes on it. Game Rant recently spoke with Assassin’s Creed Mirage creative director Stephane Boudon about all the things happening in this next iteration of the franchise....

But restaurants in the city of Pasadena in Los Angeles County will remain open for outdoor dining, defying the county’s health order banning all in-person dining. The city council of Pasadena, which operates under its own health department, made a unanimous decision Monday evening to allow restaurants to offer dining outdoors, despite the updated Los Angeles County Health Officer Order, which goes into effect from 10 p.m. local time this Wednesday....

But one wrong move could lead to catastrophe, or even all-out conflict. And if a shooting battle does break out, there’s a solid chance the U.S. could lose the first fight with the People’s Liberation Army. “It is very plausible to say there is no guarantee of victory in the first phases,” Lyle Goldstein, a research professor at the Naval War College’s China Maritime Studies Institute, told Newsweek. Goldstein, who emphasized that the views he expressed were his own and not reflective of those of the U....

The newest project from developer Interior/Night was first announced back in 2020 as an Xbox Series X console exclusive, and since that first reveal, bits and pieces about the game have been trickling out here and there. Those trickles had included hints that As Dusk Falls was getting closer to release, thanks in no small part to the increased chatter around the title in the last few months alongside an official rating from the ESRB....

In a statement released Friday, Foreign Minister Heiko Maas said that Germany and its international partners are focused on a goal to evacuate as many people from Kabul “as is possible under the very difficult circumstances,” the Associated Press reported. Western countries, including Germany, have deployed military aircraft to Afghanistan to rescue German nationals and Afghans who assisted in their military missions before the Taliban seized the country in a stunning takeover....

New data released by the Department of Labor this morning revealed that 3.3 million initial claims for unemployment benefits were made in the week ending March 21. The Labor Department said the spike in jobless claims was “the highest level of seasonally adjusted initial claims” in history, up from a previous high of 695,000 in 1982. It added that “nearly every state providing comments cited the COVID-19 virus impacts,” and said the services industry had been particularly damaged by the outbreak....

The New York Democrat told CNN that the Republican pair should be ousted from the Senate as she accused them of supporting the “insurrection” on the Capitol building earlier this month. She also urged her Republican colleagues to consider “what they are doing” by trying to protect Trump from a trial in the upper chamber. The former president was impeached for the second time last week as he was charged with inciting the attack on the Capitol at a rally with his supporter earlier in the day....

Tom Brady threw for 406 yards. That’s a step past unfair and borders on indecent. It also was a step beyond a win, 30-23, a clearer playoff path and a devastating blow to the AFC North leaders. It was a message. MORE: Updated playoff picture Forget that business about Gronk being the X-factor, the difference-maker, the Achilles’ heel because of his season-ending surgery. Tom Brady fixes all of that, again....

But for the last four years, many cities have been in direct conflict with President Donald Trump. His antagonistic view of us and his wanton mismanagement of major crises—from COVID-19 to climate change—is depriving mayors of the resources we need to grow and deliver for our residents. And his lack of moral leadership and support in helping mayors end systemic racism has made our jobs more difficult. As mayors, we need a president who will be a partner in the White House: one who sees cities as an asset to this country, not an enemy....

“I think my linemates have been awesome,” Pageau said, shifting the focus away from himself. “They work so hard every day, they make it easy for me. I think we have good chemistry on the ice because we spend a lot of time off the ice together. That’s how I think we find each other on the ice. I think all of us are hard-working players that can play simple and I think that’s what’s working so well for us right now....

It was a rare peaceful moment for Turner, one of the world’s most mercurial billionaires. Always a favorite of gossip connoisseurs, Turner, who separated from his wife, Jane Fonda, in January, has made headlines recently with his dating antics. In recent weeks, New York tabloids had Turner paired off with a 28-year-old New York college professor. Although the woman seemed to confirm the dalliance, the tabloids themselves later engaged in crosstown sniping over whether the accounts were exaggerated....
