Our star generates a powerful magnetic field which goes through roughly 11-year-long cycles. At the end of this period, the polarity of this magnetic field flips, meaning that the north and south poles switch. Scientists refer to end of this cycle as a solar minimum, the period of lowest activity. The middle of the cycle—the solar maximum—on the other hand is a period of high activity. The last solar minimum took place in 2009....

The Nigerian led his side to secure their 12th win in 18 games this season at De Vliert Stadium courtesy of Djibril Dianessy’s brace and strikes from Dries Saddiki and Lisandro Semedo. With the win over Willy Boessen’s men, Sittard have now won five consecutive games and moved a point clear of NEC Nijmegen - who have a game at hand - at the summit of the second division log....

The triumph against Peter van den Berg’s charges helped the Fortunezen register their 11th league win of the season. Perr Schuurs’ brace and second-half goals from Stefan Askovski, Finn Stokkers, Djibril Dianessy and Lars Hutten inspired the Fortuna Sittard Stadion outfit to their second six-goal margin triumph of the season - after they thrashed Telstar by the same scoreline on September 29. Oliseh’s side have been lethal in front of goal this campaign and boast of the highest goals scored in the Dutch second division with 44 efforts....

Italy forward Gabbiadini marked his Saints debut with a goal in a 3-1 defeat against West Ham last weekend and, after the visitors had weathered an early storm at the Stadium of Light, he became just the second Saints player to score in his first two Premier League matches. Gabbiadini perhaps used his arm to open the scoring on the half-hour, although in real time it would have been difficult for referee Paul Tierney to spot an offence, but there was nothing contentious about his second....

The halftime show tends to tie it all together, and the NFL routinely attracts some of the biggest names in music to perform. Last year, Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre headlined the show in Los Angeles, while The Weeknd performed when the Buccaneers won Super Bowl 55 in Tampa. With the Chiefs and Eagles set to play for the Lombardi Trophy, the NFL has secured another prominent name to headline this year’s show at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Ariz....

Albert Roca made three changes in the starting lineup that defeated Mohun Bagan 4-2 in the semi-final. Juanan and Rahul Bheke replaced Harmanjot Khabra and the suspended Nishu Kumar. Lenny Rodrigues replaced Boithang Haokip in midfield. East Bengal were forced make a change in their lineup....

Having had so much fanfare accompany the Super Eagles to the World Cup, one would be forgiven to have expected that excitement and oomph to automatically translate into good performances on the pitch. If Nigerians had already been getting carried away by the pre-World Cup hype, then the 2-0 defeat to Croatia has definitely brought them back to reality. Losing in any sport is always hard to take, make no mistake, but there’s a way to lose and a way not to lose....

The Super Falcons international has found the back of the net in three consecutive matches to become of the leagues leading scorers so far this campaign with three strikes in five outings. In doing so, the 24-year-old has outshone the side’s bigger names, Mallory Pugh, 2017 rookie of the year Ashley Hatch, and Rose Lavelle who were all tipped to get the goals for the Jim Gabarra coached outfits....

Nintendo of Japan made the announcement on Twitter, but no further details were given. Presumably, Android users can expect Super Mario Run to launch with the patches and updates that were released for the iOS version since its release. Hopefully this means Android users can avoid some headaches that iOS users have had to deal with, like the game-breaking Facebook bug, and will get to enjoy added content right off the bat, like the Friendly Run mode....

The Rossoneri can make certain of qualification from Europa League Group D with a game to spare by winning at San Siro on Thursday, before shifting their attention to the visit of Torino in the league on Sunday. Milan are seventh in the Serie A table, seven points behind sixth-placed Sampdoria, and Montella is looking forward to being able to focus on improving their domestic campaign. “It’s true that we need results,” he told a press conference....

Les Aiglons – the Eaglets – finished down in 13th in the French top flight four years ago, playing in the tight confines of the Stade du Ray, but a club who have not won the league title since 1959 did not have to look far for inspiration at the end of the 2011-12 campaign. That season will forever be one of the most memorable in the history of Ligue 1, as Rene Girard’s Montpellier stunningly held off Paris Saint-Germain – who had been taken over by the Qatar Investment Authority in July 2011 and embarked on a spending spree – in a mesmerising title race, lifting the trophy for the first time....

Suda’s relationship with the original Shadows of the Damned has a long history spanning all the way back to 2006, just after Grasshopper Manufacture had finished up working on Killer7 with Capcom. Originally envisioned as a survival horror game called Kurayami, the game was revealed in a 2006 issue of Edge magazine. After being unable to find a publisher for the project, Suda eventually pitched it to EA, who agreed to publish it, but eventually rejected five versions of the game’s original drafts before it eventually became Shadows of the Damned, which ended up being far different from what Suda had originally envisioned for Kurayami....

Traditionally, the event is spread out across several rooms, with each room having a speed runner sitting on a couch with a few commentators and an audience behind them....

Sumner Stroh, the 23-year-old who publicly claimed to have had an affair with the married Maroon 5 frontman, has been making headlines all week after her TikTok video about the alleged affair went viral. Now it appears that someone is trying to take photographs of the model in her home with the use of drones. “To the 5+ drones circling my family home at 4 am, you won’t get any pics of me because 1) I’m in Costa Rica, 2) I don’t live there,” Stroh shared in her Instagram story on Thursday night....

Anyone who makes it into the nation’s top festival already has defeated staggering odds. More than a thousand feature films that don’t have distributors are submitted every year to the festival, with only several dozen making the cut. Of those fortunate few, only a fraction will ever debut in movie theaters. To make the equation even more daunting, the keys to the multiplex are held by but a handful of independent film buyers....
