Arsenal reached the semi-finals of the Europa League last term only to be edged out by Atletico Madrid, but they have gone one step further in 2019. Aubameyang’s treble secured a 4-2 victory away to Valencia, with Unai Emery’s side knocking his old team out in emphatic fashion thanks to a 7-3 aggregate success. Gabon international Aubameyang was key to Arsenal’s triumph with four goals across the two legs and he hailed their performance....

At 32 years old and struggling through a difficult season, it felt as if Aubameyang was a last-ditch option for Barcelona, which was itself struggling through a season full of strife both on and off the field. Aubameyang is now out to prove that line of thinking wrong, as he started for the first time in league play and grabbed his first two goals for the club on Sunday to put Barcelona pas Valencia 4-1....

The blurring identities of Audubon and other environmental groups are only one symptom of deep troubles within a movement whose growth threatens whatever purity of purpose it once had and, paradoxically, whatever effectiveness it craves. The organizations’ popularity, which took off during the Reagan years, brought a huge influx of members and donations, saddling the groups with gargantuan overheads and staffs. “They have become so big, so top-heavy, that to keep the apparatus running they have in many ways become like the institutions they battle,” says John Mitchell, a contributor to Audubon magazine, the society’s flagship....

India had already retained the Border-Gavaskar Trophy but wished to cap it off with a dominant performance. Australia, on the other hand, had a lot of soul searching to do as no plans were working against a dominant Indian side. Kohli won the toss and chose to bat first. Once again KL Rahul couldn’t justify his repeated chances with the bat and cut a sorry figure for himself. But, Cheteshwar Pujara having already found his love for Aussie bowlers continued his dominance with the bat....

Resuming at 191/7, Travis Head and Mitchell Starc strode into the arena to face the charged up duo of Ishant Sharma and Jasprit Bumrah. The lower-order left-hander did not last long as the 25-year old pacer struck to give an early fillip to the visitors. Nathan Lyon kept Virat Kohli’s troops on their toes by throwing the proverbial kitchen sink at almost every delivery. His attacking approach yielded 24 valuable runs for the hosts....

In such a scenario, Captain Kohli will have to make a decision regarding whether to enforce the follow-on or not. He will have to take into account several factors before arriving at a decision. In the previous Test, he had decided not to enforce the follow-on even when Australia were bundled out for a paltry first innings total and had handed India a near 300-run lead. With the threat of rain on day five, that decision could have backfired....

ADH is similar to atypical lobular hyperplasia (ALH). However, ALH involves epithelial cells lining the lobules of the breast rather than the ducts. Symptoms Atypical ductal hyperplasia usually doesn’t cause any notable symptoms. It is usually a subsequent finding of a biopsy done to evaluate a benign breast lump or area of thickening in the breast. Atypical ductal hyperplasia may cause breast pain, though this is rare. Since ADL can go undetected until testing for a potential breast cancer diagnosis is done, it’s important that you are aware of the signs and symptoms of breast cancer and see your healthcare provider if you notice any changes in your breast that concern you....
