Benzema had been indefinitely banned from the France team after being charged with conspiracy to blackmail in a sextape scandal involving team mate Mathieu Valbuena, but the ban was lifted last September. However, he has been left frustrated after not being picked for Saturday’s trip to Luxembourg and next week’s friendly against Spain. “I find it unfair because I did not have any explanation. I am a man and I’d like an explanation on why I haven’t been called up,” Benzema told French radio RMC on Thursday....

Slitterhead’s reveal trailer begins by introducing a man wearing the clothes of an office worker walking down a darkened street. A woman emerges from an alley wearing a short pink dress, but as soon as the man turns toward her the woman’s head splits open, revealing an enormous toothy maw. Blurry camera shots and silhouettes hint at a horrifying transformation as she prepares to attack the fleeing man. The game’s realistic but horrific art style is reminiscent of ex-Devil May Cry artist Tatsuya Yoshikawa’s previous work, but it also seems to help unify these two very different tones....

Hughes was in charge at the bet365 Stadium for four and a half years, leading the Potters to three successive ninth-place finishes in the top flight. However, they finished 13th last term and have slipped to 18th in 2017-18, having won only one of their last seven league matches. Saturday’s 2-1 FA Cup third-round defeat to League Two side Coventry City - Hughes’ 200th game in charge - proved the final straw for the Stoke hierarchy, with the former Blackburn Rovers and Manchester City boss relieved of his duties soon after....

The nation’s 650,000 private pilots have far more freedom than big-jet jockeys – and far more autonomy than most passengers suspect. Commercial pilots must follow set rules for taking off in bad weather, for example, but the go decision for a small plane is the pilot’s alone. Not every plane can be tracked by radar; some don’t file flight plans or carry working radios. Even if there were more requirements, there’s nobody to enforce them....

Ronaldo ‘shocked’ by Owen fat joke The two teams meet at Old Trafford with United on fine form, with the 2-0 EFL Cup semi-final first-leg win over Hull City on Tuesday their ninth consecutive victory across all competitions. Liverpool are in the other semi-final against Southampton and play their first leg at St Mary’s Stadium on Wednesday prior to meeting in-form United, with Smalling optimistic about blunting their rivals’ attack....

With the Red Devils having been forced to contend with regular rounds of injuries this season, their manager has grown increasingly frustrated at an inability to field his strongest side. Mourinho has aired his displeasure at times, with certain members of his squad urged to show greater commitment to the cause by returning from knocks quicker than expected. Giggs: Utd need four or five signings He said of Smalling and fellow defender Phil Jones: “It’s time for Jones and Smalling to be brave - to [take a] risk - because for the team you have to do everything....

The findings of the researchers will be presented at the ACM Computer-Human Interaction Conference. How does the app work? The newly designed app uses a near-infrared camera which is used for facial recognition, along with a regular selfie camera which helps to keep a track of how an individual’s pupil changes in size. In a press release published on April 29, the researchers said that measurements of pupil can be used to evaluate the cognitive condition of a person....

El Xperia 10 II destacó por ser un dispositivo de gama media con resistencia al agua y al polvo con certificación IP65/68, una pantalla OLED y un conector para auriculares, una combinación que no se encuentra en ningún otro lugar del mercado. Si bien el 5G es el mayor punto de conversación con el Xperia 10 III, hay algunas otras adiciones que ayudan a elevar el perfil de este nuevo gama media también....

While some fans believe that a Super Smash Bros. Ultimate DLC announcement could happen within the next couple of weeks, in the meantime, they will have to make do with another Spirit event that is taking place this weekend. It won’t come with any new Spirits and instead focus on characters that made their debut on the Game Boy and Game Boy Color handheld consoles. RELATED: Super Smash Bros.

Although it’s nominally in a ‘50s style, Smeg’s bean-to-cup coffee machine is not in the shiny plastic and faux chrome of the brand’s most famous small appliances. Instead, it has a minimalist design with a brushed aluminium front panel and contrasting body, dispenser and wand. We’re reviewing the black and aluminium model, but other colour options include taupe, emerald green, red and white. There’s also an all-black option. Colour options may vary, depending on your location....

Ever the optimist, Barak blames out-of-touch politicians for his trouble and insists his peace policies are popular. But a poll due out this week shows most Israelis think he bungled the negotiations with Palestinian leader Yasir Arafat, particularly by offering too much on Jeru-salem. But don’t write Barak off yet: as Israel’s Parliament breaks for its summer recess, he gets a three-month reprieve–ample time, he says, to build a new coalition....

The list of featured titles numbers 80 (from an initial 240 nominees), and while there are a few potential surprises and some major games that didn’t make the list, hopefully even the most jaded gamer can bear in mind that it would be nearly impossible to satisfy everyone with 40 years of games development to choose from. It should be no surprise that titles like Pitfall!, Donkey Kong, and a couple of Mario titles made the list, but perhaps lesser-known or surprising titles that fans felt deserved a nod include Attack of the Mutant Camels (winner, Commodore 64), Super Smash TV (nominee, Super NES), and Tomb Raider (nominee, Sega Saturn)....

Released in 1977, Smokey and the Bandit launched a franchise consisting of two feature film sequels and a television series starring Brian Bloom as a young version of Reynolds’ Bo “Bandit” Darville. The original film followed Darville and fellow bootlegger Cledus “Snowman” Snow as they attempted to illegally transport 400 cases of beer from Texarkana to Atlanta. Along their journey, the duo welcomes a runaway bride they find hitchhiking on the road and evade Texas county sheriff Buford T....

Fitness-tracking tech is growing more popular by the day, traditionally in the form of a wrist-worn smartband or smartwatch, but more recently also available as headphones that have the ability to monitor your heart rate. We’ve already reviewed the Jabra Sport Pulse Wireless headphones, and here we’re reviewing the competing headphones from 50 Cent-founded company SMS Audio as the result of a collaboration with Intel. Here’s our SMS Audio Biosport headphones review....

This is Melrose’s 26th Stanley Cup Final — 25 as an ESPN hockey analyst and one as coach of the Los Angeles Kings in 1993.
