Bonucci for €17m LESS than Walker?! But for every Thierry Henry or Alexis Sanchez who has rocked up in north London, there has been a Francis Jeffers or a Denilson, dire under-performers who, in some cases, were acquired at great cost only to be sold without ever leaving a mark. As Wenger looks to sell several fringe players ahead of the upcoming 2017-18 season, Goal takes a look back at 15 of Arsenal’s worst buys....
A thrilling game at the Emirates Stadium saw the Gunners twice surrender the lead, Gabriel Martinelli and Bukayo Saka strikes being cancelled out by Darwin Nunez and Roberto Firmino respectively. But Mikel Arteta’s men showed the resolve of champions to claim a deserved victory when Saka converted a penalty deep in the second half. And, although a major boost for the hosts, it is a result that heaps further pressure upon their disjointed opponents, whose top-four hopes already look at risk....
Mikel Arteta’s Gunners come into this one looking rejuvenated after a fantastic Eddie Nketiah double alongside goals from Emile Smith Rowe and Bukayo Saka secured an impressive 4-2 win over Chelsea at Stamford Bridge. On the other hand, United will be seeking to make amends for their last performance, as Ralf Rangnick’s men were on the end of a humiliating 4-0 defeat away to Liverpool. Both sides know that losing this encounter will severely dent their hopes of qualifying for the UEFA Champions League....
NASA made a formal announcement of the cancellation on its official Twitter account following a reported fuel leak affecting the historic spacecraft, which is part of NASA’s plans to establish a sustainable presence on the lunar surface. “The launch of #Artemis I is no longer happening today as teams work through an issue with an engine bleed,” NASA said. “Teams will continue to gather data, and we will keep you posted on the timing of the next launch attempt....
The ABG is one of the most commonly performed tests before surgery, particularly in patients who have or are suspected to have breathing issues or lung disease. An ABG should be expected if the surgery is a long one, or if the patient will be on the ventilator for an extended period of time. This enables staff to know if the ventilator settings are appropriate for the patient. How to Perform an Arterial Blood Gas Test There are two ways to draw an ABG: an arterial line (a special type of IV line that is placed into an artery that allows arterial blood to be drawn without a needle as often as is needed while the line is in place) or a needle and syringe to draw blood from an artery a single time....

The Biden administration’s unilateral decision to extend the moratorium was preceded by a solemn political demonstration (some may call it a “stunt”), where multiple members of Congress slept on the Capitol steps in protest, demanding that renters continue lawful rent avoidance. Never mind that the federal government has already set aside $46.5 billion dollars (enough to cover 9.3 million renters who are $5,000 behind) to assist renters. And never mind that the CDC’s eviction moratorium was less effective than the previous CARES Act moratorium or local moratoriums—the Government Accountability Office found that “jurisdictions without separate state or local moratoriums experienced larger increases in eviction filings” during the CDC-issued moratorium....
Despite liking what they were hearing about the dual track the administration was on in terms of comprehensive legislation as well as executive actions, Domingo Garcia, president of the League of United Latin American Citizens, told Biden they would hold him “accountable.” This came despite Biden exhorting the group not to “get on his case” because Donald Trump’s late-stage impeachment trial was an unexpected use of the Senate’s time during the precious first 100 days of the president’s term....
But watch more closely in the background, and there were numerous lower-level White House employees within close proximity. At one point, Trump appears to summon a photographer up closer to him. The White House relies on hundreds of such people operating quietly in the background—if they appear on TV, they remain unnamed and often unnoticed. These are the people who have faced, and continue to face, the brunt of the risk as the coronavirus pandemic has taken hold in recent months while the White House has chosen to flout some health care guidelines, including the recommendation for people to wear masks, particularly indoors....

In order to keep up momentum, government officials and employers are hoping to further curb the spread of the virus. Starting Wednesday, Los Angeles requires anyone entering a bar, restaurant, nail salon, gym or Lakers game to be vaccinated....
Some well-known names in conservative politics and media have openly claimed violence may be necessary to defeat the “enemy,” while one administration official, Michael Caputo, said he feared for his life. Caputo, assistant secretary of public affairs at the Department of Health and Human Service, claimed elements at the CDC were conspiring against the administration in a live video on his personal Facebook account. “If you carry guns, buy ammunition, ladies and gentlemen, because it’s going to be hard to get,” Caputo said on Sunday....
This accusation is inaccurate, and it only serves to whitewash the dire situation of Jews in certain Western and Northern European countries. These countries struggle to confront their own antisemitism because acts of Jew-hatred there are most frequently committed by immigrants from the Islamic world. By contrast, Hungary, which has a very small number of those immigrants, is one of the safest places in Europe for Jews to live....
The IPOs for both companies hit the market as the Labor Department announced that a seasonally adjusted figure of 853,000 Americans filed for unemployment last week for the first time, the largest number since mid-September. Current jobless claims rose to 5.8 million, the first rise in those figures since late August. Overall unemployment declined slightly in October to 6.7%. But Airbnb and DoorDash are betting on better times ahead....

Among those voters is the governor himself, who voted Friday to keep himself in office before the Tuesday close. The results will decide whether Newsom will remain in office and carry out his first term or be ousted by another candidate. “I think we’re gonna be alright,” Newsom joked. He cast his ballot at an early voting center in Sacramento with his wife, Jennifer Siebel Newsom. The impetus for the recall vote came amid frustration from Republican political organizers unhappy with Newsom’s leadership....
The images were projected on the wall of the Hilton Garden Inn hotel on Sunday night as Republican delegates were scheduled to arrive for the convention. It showed pictures of several men and women from across the country who had been left unemployed and struggling to make ends meet because of the pandemic. “29 million reported that their households didn’t have enough to eat for week ending July 21,” said one of the images, coupled with pictures of President Trump and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell....
“It makes me angry,” Adler, a Democrat, said during an interview with CNN’s State of the Union on Sunday. The mayor made the remarks in response to Trump claiming that the novel coronavirus pandemic would “disappear” and that “99 percent of [cases] are totally harmless” in recent remarks. “You know, I understand he has a tough job, but it is dangerous not to be sending a clear message to Americans,” Adler said, criticizing the president’s remarks....
The Trump campaign said it would pump the funds into advertisements in several battleground states, though did not specify the exact amounts planned in its bid to boost President Donald Trump’s re-election hopes. On Wednesday, Joe Biden’s campaign detailed what it described as its “single largest paid media investment” so far for the Democratic presidential candidate. “Biden for President is gearing up its paid media offensive, accelerating its spending on the air and digital to reach voters across the country in key battleground states,” a statement from the campaign read....
This moment will mark the end of a long, tradition-rich history in Major League Baseball, because the universal designated hitter is coming. It is inevitable, and it is bittersweet. “Some of the guys don’t miss it, some pitchers, and there’s some pitchers that absolutely miss it,” Astros manager Dusty Baker said during Thursday’s workout day media availability. “Like (Zack) Greinke, he’s dying to hit.
