The Asian American Federation (AAF) organized a rally of hundreds of demonstrators in Manhattan on Saturday, following the stabbing of a 36-year-old Asian man in Chinatown on Thursday. That attack was just the latest in a series of assaults targeting Asians across the city in recent months. Speaking to Gothamist at the rally, Yang told the media outlet that the attacks were “painful and heartbreaking.” The Democrat mayoral hopeful added: “As an Asian American and son of immigrants myself, and as a parent to children in the city, it really hurts....

Except that the new quarterback isn’t Russell Wilson but Andy Dalton, and the bookmakers are less confident on the Bears lifting the Vince Lombardi Trophy next year than they were before the legal tampering period began on Monday. In the lead-up to free agency, Wilson’s agent had fueled hopes of Bears fans after naming Chicago as one of the potential trade destinations for his client. The Bears were reportedly ready to offer a bounty of draft picks to acquire Wilson, who would have immediately ended the franchise’s long quest for a franchise quarterback....

Ferguson famously described his biggest challenge as eclipsing Liverpool’s 18 top-flight titles, something he achieved before retiring in 2013 as United moved onto 20. Throughout his Old Trafford tenure, Ferguson was renowned for dishing out the ‘hairdryer’ treatment when unhappy with United performances. And Neville says the worst of those outbursts always seemed to come at the home of their fierce rivals, where United travel this weekend in the Premier League....

Di Maria has been linked with a move to Inter throughout the transfer window, having spent the last two seasons at PSG. But Ausilio suggested the winger, 29, is out of Inter’s price range and insisted he would take a logical approach to his squad construction, with Milan Skriniar, Borja Valero and Daniele Padelli brought in so far. Asked about Di Maria, Ausilio told Sky Italia: “Dreams are nice because they can be achieved, but my reality makes me follow other arguments....

Everyone is born with guardian angels who watch over them and guide them throughout their life. Your angels cannot communicate with you directly, so they rely on sending signals of their presence—like numbers. The crucifixion and resurrection of Christ represent the ultimate transformation. If you are concerned that the changes your angels have in store for you may be scary or painful, take heart: the outcome is worth it. Don’t think of the change as “positive” or “negative”: whatever happens, it is ordained by the universe as part of the divine plan....

Heliopolis, which means “City of the Sun,” was one of the oldest cities of Ancient Egypt. It was occupied since the Predynastic Period, which spans the period from the earliest human settlement to the beginning of the Early Dynastic Period around 3100 BC. The city of Heliopolis was greatly expanded under the Old and Middle Kingdoms but is today mostly destroyed, with its temples and other buildings scavenged for the construction of medieval Cairo....

It might be too early to slam the door shut, but it’s not too late to narrow our focus. Among the four, three have spent their money until drunken sailors hid their faces in shame. We’re running short on time, and the scramble for second will probably top-billing over the fight for first. Enough of this, on to the rundown. Chelsea Position: First Record: 21-7-2 (W-D-L) Points: 70 (77. 8%) Form: WDWDWW Last match: Chelsea 2-1 Stoke...

The Brazilian playmaker was in danger of being branded a flop after a summer transfer from Lazio costing the Hammers up to 42 million pounds (around $55 million). West Ham was twice pegged back by goals from Johann Berg Gudmundsson and Chris Wood and, despite a dominant display, the hosts were never assured of the points until Javier Hernandez struck their fourth goal in stoppage time. James Tarkowski clattered Marko Arnautovic in the opening moments but the Austrian got his revenge in the 10th minute by stealing Tarkowski’s under-hit back pass and slotting home before pointedly celebrating in the face of the defender....

Star Wars: Andor episode 8 saw Serkis debut as Kino Loy, a high-ranking prisoner (or however is best to describe his situation) in charge of his floor of the Imperial prison factory. When Diego Luna’s Cassian Andor showed up at the prison, still reeling from getting a 6-year sentence for a minor infraction that he didn’t even do, Kino’s way of running the operation was just one of many overwhelming things thrown at him all at once....

The triple premiere of Andor, with two episodes of setup followed by a thrilling payoff, established that the Star Wars series’ serialized narrative would unfold in chunks of three episodes. The current three-episode chunk of Andor reaches its tense, action-packed climax this week in “The Eye.” After two weeks of planning, “The Eye” sees Cassian and his new Rebel allies finally pull off their daring, long-awaited Imperial heist against the backdrop of a local festival....

Brown, author of the upcoming book The Palace Papers: Inside the House of Windsor—The Truth and Turmoil, said in an interview with The Telegraph: “It’s utterly grotesque, the whole Andrew business… I was told only yesterday by someone at the Palace just how deeply distressing it has been for the Queen.” The monarch came under fire last month when she appeared at Westminster Abbey for the service of thanksgiving for the life of her late husband Prince Philip—who died in April 2021—on the arm of her disgraced son....
