Phil Foden, Cole Palmer and Harry Maguire left out of England World Cup squad

  • Mainoo in but no place for Wharton, Hall or Gibbs-White

  • Ivan Toney in Tuchel’s thoughts and Levi Colwill out

Thomas Tuchel has made ruthless calls with his World Cup selection, finding no space for Phil Foden and Cole Palmer in England’s 26-man squad and leaving a “shocked and gutted” Harry Maguire on the outside.

Foden and Palmer have had underwhelming seasons for Manchester City and Chelsea respectively and will not be included in the 26-man party for the tournament this summer, which Tuchel will name at Wembley on Friday morning.

Risk of snakebites increasing as reptiles adapt to changing world, says study

Research led by WHO predicts hotter climate will lead to more contact between humans and venomous snakes

The risk of snakebites is increasing across the world as reptiles shift their habitats to cope with rising temperatures and growing human pressures, a study of venomous snakes has found.

Spitting cobras in Africa, vipers in Europe and South America, cottonmouth moccasins in North America and kraits in Asia are coming into greater contact with people as a result of climate disruption and landscape change, according to the research, which was led by the World Health Organization.

Obey Giant

The Art of Shepard Fairey

OBEY ICON FACE IN CLASSIC OR GOLD COLLABORATION WITH BEYOND THE STREETS

The Obey Icon Face evolved at the end of 1995 into early 1996 out of the desire to move further away from an association with Andre the Giant and toward a more universal “Big Brother” (as in George Orwell’s 1984) image. I had become fascinated by the power of the streamlined graphic approach of the Russian Constructivist posters and wanted an icon that would integrate into work of this style. In the beginning of my street art campaign, I had been generating and proliferating propaganda using pop culture associations, but I had become more interested in commenting on propaganda with art having a direct stylistic parallel. The Obey Icon Face suited this need perfectly and with the Obey red box logo, inspired by Barbara Kruger, incorporated, the style and message of the design were complementary. The concept behind Obey is to provoke people who typically complain about life’s circumstances but don’t question things more deeply, to have to confront their own obedience. Obey is a very sarcastic form of reverse psychology.
-Shepard

Citroën komt met elektrische versie van beroemde 2CV

PARIJS (ANP/AFP) - Het Franse autobedrijf Citroën gaat een elektrische versie maken van de beroemde Citroën 2CV, waarvan de productie in 1990 stopte. Dat maakte het bedrijf donderdag bekend. De nieuwe elektrische Citroën 2CV moet in oktober aan het publiek gepresenteerd worden op de autoshow van Parijs.

"De 2CV is terug. Citroën is terug. Terug naar de toekomst", zei topman Xavier Chardon van Citroën bij de bekendmaking. De oude 2CV werd voor het eerst getoond in 1948 op de autoshow van Parijs en werd zeer populair.

"Dit is een zeer belangrijk moment, want in 1948 gaf de 2CV vrijheid van mobiliteit aan miljoenen en tachtig jaar later zal de nieuwe 2CV het elektrisch rijden democratiseren", aldus Chardon. In Nederland kreeg de oude 2CV de bijnaam 'Lelijke Eend' of kortweg 'de Eend' vanwege de aparte vormen van de kleine auto.

Volgens de topman zal de auto volledig elektrisch aangedreven worden en wordt die in Europa gebouwd. De prijs ligt volgens Chardon onder de 15.000 euro.
