In case you didn’t know…. After becoming the greatest goalscorer of Real Madrid by netting 450 goals in 438 games and winning three consecutive Champions League titles, Ronaldo moved to Juventus last summer in a transfer worth €100 million. Since moving to Turin, Ronaldo has taken Serie A by storm. The 34-year-old sharpshooter has settled with the Old Lady quickly and is among the top scorers and top assisters in the Serie A with 19 goals and 8 assists....

The first thing to say is that this Crock-Pot is not a little appliance. It’s a big piece of kitchen equipment. On one hand, that’s good news. It’s a 5.6 litre slow cooker, which means you can make a stew or curry large enough for the whole family – and still have leftovers to freeze. On the other hand, you’ll need quite a lot of space to store it in the kitchen....

What Is Johne’s Disease? Johne’s (YO-nees) disease is caused by the bacteria Mycobacterium paratuberculosis and is estimated to cost the dairy industry $200 to $250 million dollars a year. Eradicating Johne’s would entail testing to identify diseased cattle in order to destroy them. It’s estimated that as many as 68% of dairy herds are infected with Johne’s disease. An infected cow exhibits symptoms of diarrhea and weight loss as the bacteria attack her ileum....

A three-judge panel upheld the decision to ban betting on sports in a 2-1 decision in the U.S. Third Circuit Court of Appeals on Tuesday. In November 2014, a federal judge granted professional leagues and the NCAA a permanent injunction that prohibits bets from being accepted at casinos and horse racing tracks in the state . New Jersey has been trying for years to legalize sports betting to bolster profits at casinos and racetracks....

Cousins played in the game against Chicago on Saturday night, scoring 25 points and grabbing 14 rebounds in the loss to the Bulls. The Kings say he is day to day. It's the ninth game Cousins has missed because of injury this season. Aaron Gray started in Cousins' place against Minnesota. The Timberwolves were also without their starting center. Nikola Pekovic sat out because of bursitis in his right ankle, a condition that caused him to miss 13 games earlier in the season....

Philippe Coutinho, Ousmane Dembele and Yerry Mina all featured for the league leaders in the Camp Nou clash and, given time, should all go on to be important players for the Catalan club. First, however, they need to adapt to Barca’s style of play. The Brazilian midfielder, who has already played on the left, on the right and in a central position since his arrival from Liverpool last month, was picked in the Andres Iniesta role on Saturday....

The former Manchester City midfielder believes that the deal is a case of “how much rather than if or when”. Liverpool have persistently rebuffed the Catalans’ approaches, with three bids reportedly made, but the Camp Nou side will eventually prove irresistible, Barton says. Reds 20/1 to win 3-0 tonight “He wants out, and if you’re getting up to what Liverpool are now, almost £120m, it just looks like how much rather than if or when,” he told Talksport....

This was the Marshall Plan. And it takes on fresh relevance today, as the world’s economies buckle under the strain of the COVID-19 pandemic. But it takes on special significance for Africa, as it did even before the outbreak of the virus. Here, on the world’s fastest-growing continent, the exploding youth population can be given its chance to reach its potential and drive continent-wide—and indeed worldwide—change. And this is why, in 2017, I called for a tailored “Marshall Plan for Africa....

Over 84,000 people in the U.K. who said they had recovered from a suspected or confirmed case of COVID-19 completed a questionnaire that measured their thinking skills. The paper was submitted to the preprint server medRxiv, meaning it has not been through the rigorous peer review process that is required for publication in a scientific journal, so the findings should be interpreted with caution. The participants took tests to measure their ability to solve problems, spatial memory, attention, and how they processed emotions....

Although it incorporated a variety of genres that were unique for an anime released in the early 2000s, the show was a hit not just in the Japanese markets but also caught wind in the United States. The science fiction meets noir anime garnered not just international fame but also received unanimous praise for its characters, story, voice acting, soundtrack, and landing numerous awards in the field of animation and science fiction....

According to a report from the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, discussions surrounding a potential contract extension are “at a stalemate.” Despite this, Dallas is still confident a deal will get done — at some point, the report noted. An earlier report said Cooper’s demands were “shockingly high.” Cooper, who joined the Cowboys midseason in an October trade with the Raiders, is expected to make $13.9 million this season in the last year of his rookie contract....

Quarterback Dak Prescott, running back Ezekiel Elliott and most of the rest of the first-string offense remained in the game until early in the fourth quarter. Their last drive ended with Prescott throwing his fifth touchdown pass of the game, which broke Tony Romo’s franchise record for passing touchdowns in a season.

Down 19-12 in the fourth quarter of their divisional playoff game Sunday, the Cowboys put together a drive to forget with 2:59 left in the game from their 18-yard line. Quarterback Dak Prescott went 0 for 2 and took a sack in a critical spot. On fourth down, McCarthy went the conservative route, sending out punter Bryan Anger to boot the ball back to a hot 49ers offense. While field position and a seemingly unmakeable fourth-and-10 worked against Dallas, the deeper numbers didn’t agree....

Where AT&T Stadium had been filled with cheering 49ers fans, the Tennessee Titans’ LP Field had noticable cheers of “Let’s Go Cowboys” near the end of Dallas’ 26-10 win. The primary reason for this was DeMarco Murray.

Fortunatley for Dallas and Murray, everything after that was different....

Dallas can go in several different directions early and late, but in the end, it must focus on looking for key defensive upgrades. Offense will get its share of consideration, too, because of Prescott and the established prowess, but more so in nuts and bolts than primary areas of need.

If the Cowboys can add ready replacements for Jones and Quinn in the 2020 NFL Draft, then they should be right back in the thick of the NFC race. It’s possible Dallas will be active on the first night of the draft and try to get those pieces by trading up or down from No. 17 overall. Another possibility is trading the pick for a proven player, such as safety Jamal Adams, who reportedly will skip the Jets’ virtual voluntary workouts....

That’s because Baltimore has never played against the ridiculous rookie combo of Dak Prescott and Ezekiel Elliott, now officially clear of Tony Romo drama in the short term. MORE COWBOYS-RAVENS: Pick against the spread | Prediction Joe Flacco, on the other hand, has played well against the Cowboys — he has a 102.0 rating in his past two meetings with Dallas.

Dallas in 2019 is now 3 for 3 in the latter scenarios. And in a 31-6 victory over the Dolphins on Sunday following season-opening wins against the Giants and Redskins, the Cowboys somehow managed to win in impressive fashion despite the fact that they were facing what appears to be a historically bad team.
