A brief statement on the Anderlecht website (www.rsca.be/nl) ended days of furious speculation over the identity of a new coach for the 33-time Belgian champions. Weiler, 42, led Nuremburg to third place in Germany’s second division last season but they failed get back to the Bundesliga after losing to Eintracht Frankfurt in a promotion-relegation playoff. Anderlecht fired previous coach Besnik Hasi at the end of last season after they finished runners-up to Club Bruges....

Despite having been touted as one of the best prospects in the Malaysia Super League (MSL) this season, Selangor winger Syahmi Safari had a relatively underwhelming 2017 SEA Games campaign with Malaysia U22 recently. He was used mainly as a late substitute by head coach Datuk Ong Kim Swee, and when he was handed a start in their group match against Singapore, he failed to impress Ong, who took him off at halftime for midfielder Nor Azam Azih....

Srikanth next takes on the 291st ranked Ansal Yadav for a place in the quarter-finals. The Rio Olympic silver medallist Sindhu, who is the biggest star remaining in women’s singles after Saina Nehwal’s pull-out, will face world no. 386 Lalita Dahiya next. Besides Sindhu, the 20-year-old rising talent Rituparna Das too made it to round 2 of women’s singles with an easy 21-5, 21-6 win over Nepal’s Nangsal Tamang....

Spirits in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate have long been considered collectibles in the fighting game. Including iconic characters across all the titles featured in the game, SSBU already has over 1,400 spirits that players can collect on their Spirit Boards. Given the recent success of Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity, and being a home-grown Nintendo title to boot, it was only a matter of time until the development team included the characters in the all-star fighting game....

During the event, Nintendo made the surprise announcement that Super Bros. Smash Ultimate will include every single character from the Smash Bros. series ever. No matter which way fans slice it, explains Nintendo, Super Bros. Smash Ultimate will include the largest roster in all of Smash Bros. history. That means that all of players’ favorite characters will be making a return. That includes the Wii Fit trainers, Final Fantasy 7’s Cloud, Captain Falcon, Kirby, Robin from Fire Emblem, Animal Crossing villagers, Pokemon trainers, Bowser, Link, Zelda and many more....

According to the Japanese Twitter account for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, the title’s next Spirit Board event will take place between January 4 and January 7, 2019, and it will feature Spirits from titles that made appearances on the NES and Famicom Disk System. It hasn’t been announced as to whether or not there will be any event-exclusive Spirits yet, but as indicated by an image released by Nintendo, the likes of Excitebike, Kid Dracula, Sukapon from Joy Mech Fight, Stanley from Donkey Kong 3, Donkey Kong & Lady from Donkey Kong, Balloon Fighter, and more will be included....

Like most last generation games, Superhot: Mind Control Delete was never able to reach the benchmarks that new consoles are able to due to limitations in the hardware. Although playing these games through the Xbox Series X’s backwards compatibility would help with loading times and the like, it couldn’t do much to get past the hard cap on resolution and frame rate implemented to make sure the games run smoothly....

Sagittarius A*—the Milky Way’s central black hole—is normally quite subdued, with low levels of activity recorded over years. However, in May, scientists from the U.S. and Europe watched an “unprecedented” bright flash coming from the black hole, before dimming again. Tuan Do, from UCLA, and colleagues spent four night observing Sagittarius A* at the WM Keck Observatory in Hawaii in May, ScienceAlert reports. While it is normal for the supermassive black hole to fluctuate slightly in brightness, the researchers found Sagittarius A*—which is four million times the mass of the sun—had gotten 75 times brighter than normal....

Anatomy Arteries are blood vessels that carry blood away from the heart so it can be circulated throughout your body. As they move away from the heart, arteries divide into branches that run off in different directions to reach various structures, including muscles, skin, bones, organs, and other tissues. Most arteries exist in pairs, with one on each side of the body. Many, but not all, are generally symmetrical. Structure The largest artery in the body is the aorta, which runs up away from the heart and then curves back down, creating what’s called the aortic arch....

Under the Constitution, Supreme Court justices have life tenure, but the commission described term limits as the proposal that appears to have “the most widespread and bipartisan support.” Three current justices, Chief Justice John Roberts, Justice Stephen Breyer and Justice Elena Kagan, “have noted the potential benefits of term limits,” the commission said. It cited experts recommending an 18-year term limit for justices, although it was divided over whether Congress has the ability to create a term limit for justices by statute or if a constitutional amendment would be required....

Neal Katyal, who served as the Acting Solicitor General from May 2010 to June 2011, made the remarks in an interview with Chuck Todd, host of Meet the Press and the political director of NBC News. In the interview, Todd referred to Dershowitz’s argument in the Senate trial that Trump’s “quid pro quo” deal with the Ukrainian government did not constitute an impeachable offense. “You can’t acquit him on the basis of the facts, because the factual record is against the president, and the president hasn’t even bothered introducing any facts into his defense,” Katyal said....

Many family members of the 98 victims and survivors of the collapse have been pushing for a memorial to be built at the site, but there have been disputes over whether to instead sell the property and use the proceeds as a payout. Miami-Dade Circuit Court Judge Michael Hanzman urged family members and surviving owners not to argue over how the proceeds are distributed if the lot is sold....

According to the survey, developer Maxis might be looking to introduce a new ‘Classic Mode’, which in and of itself is something original SimCity fans will be excited about. But the more intriguing element to the ‘Classic Mode’ description is its mention of an offline mode — something that has yet to come to SimCity. The survey in question (via Reddit), doesn’t detail the ‘Classic Mode’ or any other feature in full, but simply gives a general sense of how a list of proposed items might work....

It comes after Senator Joe Manchin (D-WV) said he would not support her nomination, reducing the chance of her being confirmed to the position by the narrowly-divided Senate. In a statement reported by Politico Playbook, Collins said: “The Director of OMB is responsible for overseeing the development and implementation of the federal budget and plays a significant role in any Administration’s fiscal and regulatory agenda. “Congress has to be able to trust the OMB director to make countless decisions in an impartial manner, carrying out the letter of the law and congressional intent....

“Shame on you @PramilaJayapal for abandoning the people by endorsing Shontel Brown, the corp dark money candidate over @ninaturner, champion of M4A, GND & working people,” Sarandon tweeted on Monday. “Your compromises have failed & people are suffering because of your ambition.” The Congressional Progressive Caucus (CPC) PAC, which Jayapal serves as the chairwoman, recently endorsed Brown in a hotly contested race for Ohio’s 11th congressional district over former state senator Nina Turner, who has been one of the highest-profile progressive candidates in the country....

Trump has a winning track record of endorsing candidates and has thrown the weight of his name and his super PAC behind Wright. Tuesday’s election served as an early gauge of Trump’s hold on the GOP and Wright’s loss could be an early sign that the former president doesn’t have the same hold on the party that he had while in office. State Representative Jake Ellzey led Wright by 2,530 votes with 98 percent of the votes counted when Wright conceded the race, according to the Texas Secretary of State’s office....

Buk M. Buk, 22, has been charged with aggravated murder, attempted murder and felony discharge of a firearm in relation to Lowe’s death on Sept. 26. The shooting reportedly occurred at midnight at a house party following the Utes’ 24-13 win over Washington State. The shooter also left an unidentified 20-year-old woman in critical condition; she remains in the hospital after undergoing surgery. “In a time of need, we turned to our community,” Salt Lake City police chief Mike Brown said in a statement....

Dog owner and TikTok user @sassafras_007 posted a clip of her dog Levy calmly standing three days ago, but a suspicious buzzing noise made it clear he was up to more than just that. “What do you have?” she asked as she approached him. “Why is your mouth making that noise?” she added. The sound of buzzing is unavoidable. Levy sheepishly looked away, glancing occasionally towards his owner with a guilty look on his face....

Fans could reasonably expect God of War Ragnarok to be there, perhaps more information about the PS5 DualSense Edge controller, and a variety of other games extending from this fall throughout 2023 (and perhaps beyond). However, event after event, there is one thing fans often hope for. It’s not necessarily more likely to appear at the reportedly coming PlayStation Showcase more than it ever was before, but fans are hoping to see Bloodborne info at the PS Showcase after an in-game message....

The pressure on the long-serving French boss intensified after Wednesday’s 5-1 thrashing at the hands of Bayern Munich in the Champions League and anything but a convincing win over non-league opponents was unlikely to aid his cause. In the end a goal in each half proved sufficient to keep alive hopes of a third FA Cup crown in four years, with Lucas Perez’s fortuitous effort and Theo Walcott’s 100th goal for the Gunners getting the job done....
