When Brady returned to the team, he was mum about his reasoning, merely offering up “it’s all personal you know, everyone’s got different situations … I’m 45 years old man, there’s a lot of s— going on.” It was a different version of Brady than many are used to, as he’s been a bit more… Online since joining the Buccaneers.

Glastonbury Festival is one of the U.K.’s biggest and most popular music events, attracting more than 200,000 people in 2019. That same year, scientists from Bangor University in Wales decided to investigate how the water quality of nearby rivers changed by measuring them before, during, and after the festival, both upstream and downstream of the festival site. Two waterways, the Whitelake and Redlake rivers, run by the site. Often, illicit drugs make their way into music festivals, so the researchers decided to test for drug pollution into the local environment....
As the November 2 election day inches closer, the former president will hold a phone-in “tele-rally” for Youngkin on Monday, the eve of the gubernatorial election.

Youngkin is running against former Democratic governor Terry McAuliffe, with polling putting the two candidates neck-and-neck. Trump has endorsed Youngkin for re-election several times, while the Biden administration has pledged strong support for McAuliffe....
But even before GM issued what one Wall Street analyst described as “very ugly” financial results Wednesday, the automaker’s top brass were spinning in high gear. The bulk of that loss—$37.4 billion—is only on paper, they said; it’s simply an arcane accounting entry that we wouldn’t understand. “You’d have to have a Ph.D. in accounting to fully understand it,” GM Chairman Rick Wagoner (once the automaker’s CFO) assured radio host Paul W....
Jose Ignacio Lopez did nothing halfway, and that, finally, was his downfall. He was always erecting a bridge too far to the future. When he stunned Smith by leaving GM for Volkswagen in 1993, Lopez didn’t go humbly. He took with him a coterie of top aides and, allegedly, a massive stack of documents that detailed the purchasing strategies he had helped devise for GM. The result was a typically Lopez-like conflagration: a GM lawsuit charging VW with industrial espionage, the most bitterly fought legal battle in automotive history....

Unsurprisingly, the best defenders and the goalkeeper of the month was chosen from the side that conceded the least in the six rounds; Kedah and Johor Darul Ta’zim (JDT). Both sides conceded only four goals, although JDT played only five matches. The Red Eagles had the steady partnership of Australian centre back Zac Anderson and Khairul Helmi Johari to thank for, while the Southern Tigers. The other defender picked is JDT’s Azrif Nasrulhaq, who now plays ahead of Fazly Mazlan, even though the latter is the more natural in the left back position....
