Pickpocketing is mostly a risk in the biggest, most tourist-filled cities, so those are where a subtle storage option is most important. If you’re in a low-crime area, wearing a backpack might make you blend in a bit less, but it’s not disrespectful or risky. Many places of worship won’t let you in if your clothing doesn’t cover your knees, shoulders, and most of your chest. Definitely plan around this if you want to see the many impressive Catholic, Orthodox, and Muslim holy sites (mostly in southern and Eastern Europe)....

This week, CM Punk sat down with Scott Fishman of TV Insider to discuss the series debut of Heels on STARZ on August 15. When asked how he feels about the current landscape of professional wrestling, Punk thinks it could really use a kick in the d****. CM Punk is rumored to debut at AEW Rampage on August 20 CM Punk went on to tease that he thinks there are people out there in the professional wrestling industry stirring the pot right now....

The Flying Antelopes’ players and officials were highly praised last season after they won the league title but the team went from good to worse barely a season thereafter as they exited the Caf Champions League and the Caf Confederation Cup which they were later demoted to at the early stages and their form in the league then too was very abysmal. But Clement who made goal scoring return to the team after some time on the sideline said that their road win in Shagamu against the Sky Blue Stars has given Rangers’ players the motivational push to approach their remaining two games without the additional pressure of still being scrutinized over their status in the elite division at the end of the season....

The Tigers have won two national titles in four seasons and will look to add a third when they face LSU on Monday in the College Football Playoff national championship game. While Swinney is loved by Clemson fans, it wasn’t always that way. Here are 10 facts about the coach and how the Tigers almost missed out on the most successful era in program history. LSU vs. CLEMSON: Odds, predictions, betting trends for national championship...

Swinney’s vote in the weekly USA Today Coaches Poll showed that he didn’t believe the Buckeyes (6-0) are a top-10 team. Swinney’s Tigers take on OSU on Jan. 1 in the Sugar Bowl for the right to play in the national championship game, and he apparently believes Ohio State to be the 11th-best team in the country. Here’s how Swinney ordered his top 12 in the poll released Sunday:...

Clemson coach Dabo Swinney revealed Saturday that Lawrence, who tested positive for COVID-19 this week, will not be available for the Nov. 7 matchup at Notre Dame Stadium. That puts a serious damper on No. 1 Clemson’s matchup with No. 4 Notre Dame, and it brings into question what the game means for each side. Do the Tigers (7-0, 6-0 ACC) need it more, or is it a mulligan situation without Lawrence?...

Wake Forest’s defense did not have any answers for the Tigers’ ground game, which ripped off 333 yards and four touchdowns. Kobe Pace led both teams with a game-high 191 yards on 24 carries and two scores. Will Shipley also added 112 yards on 19 carries and two touchdowns. It was one of the Tigers’ best performances last season against a Wake Forest squad that won the Atlantic division and played in the ACC title game vs....

Supporters have voiced their discontent over Arsenal’s form with the club in danger of missing out on a Premier League top-four finish for the first time since 1996. Clichy, who played under Wenger at Arsenal for eight seasons, said there was no guarantee someone else could do a better job at the London club given its spending policies. “If you take him off and you bring someone else with the same structure, would he be better?...

Restricting guns is the last thing Emanuel wants to talk about now. An Illinois congressman, he helped Democrats take back the Capitol last year in part by recruiting pro-gun candidates. The effort was part of a larger push to reach out to gun owners who’d shunned the party. That may help explain the noticeable hush from Democrats in the aftermath of the Virginia Tech shootings. Some Democrats have begun to sound a lot like Republicans on the issue....

Researchers created models to estimate that between the 1970s and 2000s, the levels of the substance in Atlantic bluefin tuna increased by 56 percent; and 23 percent in Atlantic cod. The authors of the paper published in the journal Nature pinned the climb to rising seawater temperatures after 1969. The toxin can be passed on from a mother to her fetus and has been linked to long-term neurocognitive problems in children, which can last into adulthood....

It was a perfect display of attacking hockey as the Indian strikers toyed with the Malaysian defence with short passes, one-touch ball delivery to pump five beautiful field goals. India scored five field goals through Akashdeep Singh (15th minute), S K Uthappa (24th), Gurjant Singh (33rd), S V Sunil (40th) and Sardar Singh (60th), while Harmanpreet converted a penalty corner in the 19th minute. Malaysia’s goals came from the sticks of Razie Rahim (50th) and Ramadan Rosli (59th)....

After Bowyer appear to get blocked on pit road by Newman during the first round of qualifying for the O’Reilly Auto Parts 500, he was unable to get out onto the track initially and as a result qualified 25th and will start way back in the pack. He “vented” to FS1 after the run. “We talked about clogging, (that) was our conversation before qualifying, it says really clearly in all (the) terms how you can’t clog the middle and I’ll be damned if the first time that (Newman) clogs the middle, then they call it discretionary,” Bowyer said....

In a clip posted to TikTok by user @farmer.lamb on September 14, Rex can be seen either smiling or snarling as his owner, Charles, lists his loves and hates.

The Clippers used several defenders to end Luka Doncic’s franchise-record streak of four games with at least 30 points and 10 assists. George had a career-high six steals as Los Angeles held the Mavericks under 100 points for the first time this season. The Clippers limited the 20-year-old phenom to 4-of-13 shooting, including 0 for 7 from 3-point range. The Slovenian star made 14 of 16 free throws and finished with 22 points, eight rebounds and six assists....

The Jaguars needed that, because the expiration date was approaching on all the big drafts and hot free-agent moves they’ve made in recent years. The way the Jaguars have kept running in place, way behind the pack in a weak division, the expectations for this offseason’s moves are kept in check. They look good on paper, but so did the teams before. To be honest, bringing on Coughlin as executive vice president looks great on paper itself … with the first game four months away....

It’s more bad injury news for Clowney, who has not been a stragner in the trainer’s room since being drafted No. 1 overall. He revealed last week that he sustained a concussion during a preseason joint practice with the Broncos last month. In June, he underwent sports hernia surgery. He said that he played through the pain of the injury during his junior year at South Carolina. Now, he has a knee injury and could be out as long as six weeks....

Over the last few weeks, there has been rampant speculation about who could show up at the annual WWE extravaganza. The talks began after WWE announced that IMPACT Wrestling Knockouts Champion Mickie James would appear in the Women’s Royal Rumble. Further reports suggested that the company was working on securing male wrestlers from free agency and other promotions as well. As far-fetched as it is, some fans held out hope that there would be some crossover between AEW and WWE....
