Because people have a need to glue things to other things [note: We'd love to provide information about how to glue everything to everything but there are just too many things. So we decided to focus on common household items.]
It has come down to a straight shootout, similar to five rounds of penalties, the equation plain yet loaded with complications. Score or miss. With Manchester City otherwise engaged in an FA Cup semi-final, it was Arsenal who took first.
For them, the metaphorical walk to the spot, the moment of truth, began in the aftermath of last Sundayâs defeat at City. It was long and treacherous, the self-doubt gnawing away, the outside noise at fever pitch. Score or miss. With a draw very much into the latter category. Arsenal scored.

Tottenham still in relegation zone because of West Ham win
Robert De Zerbi is waiting on the fitness of two more players, after Dominic Solanke and Xavi Simons were forced off injured at Molineux on Saturday, but he is optimistic that Tottenhamâs 1-0 victory at Wolves âcan change something in our mentalityâ.
The Spurs head coach celebrated his first win in charge of the relegation-threatened Europa League holders with the visiting fans in the Steve Bull Stand, exchanging fist pumps and belief.
Continue reading...What a barnstorming finish to this FA Cup semi-final that featured three goals in eight minutes and ended with Nico GonzĂĄlez as the hero who swept Manchester City to a historic fourth consecutive final.
The Spaniardâs winner came in the 87th minute. Bernardo Silva, only just introduced by Pep Guardiola, tapped to JĂ©rĂ©my Doku, who fed GonzĂĄlez. From outside Southamptonâs area, to the left, the midfielder let go a rising, 30-yard shot that rocketed into the net and left Tonda Eckertâs team heartbroken, having taken the lead only moments before.

It's the U.S. government's main link to the AI industry, reports The Washington Post, working to assess national security risks of new models like Anthropic's "Mythos".
To run it they'd hired Collin Burns, who'd worked at OpenAI and then Anthropic. But Burns started work Monday at the Center for AI Standards and Innovation — and then "was pushed out Thursday by the White House, according to the people, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe private conversations."
Officials were concerned about Burns having worked at the AI company, which has fought bitterly with the Trump administration in recent months, according to one of the people and another person. That person said some senior figures at the White House had not been briefed on Burns's selection in advance... The new pick was Chris Fall, a scientist with a long career spanning the federal government and academia. Burns had been asked to resign that afternoon, according to one of the people familiar with the situation...
Dean Ball, a former Trump administration AI adviser, said on social media that Burns had given up valuable Anthropic stock and moved across the country to take the government position, and had been "rewarded by his country with a punch in the face." "Obviously what happened is Burns was bumped because of his association with Anthropic," Ball wrote. "A dumb but predictable own goal."

Op de persconferentie na afloop van Feyenoord-FC Groningen (3-1) was hoofdtrainer Robin van Persie lovend over Gernot Trauner. Daarnaast bekende hij dat de samenwerking met Dick Advocaat, die sinds ruim een maand een adviserende rol speelt, goed bevalt.
RAMALLAH (ANP/RTR/AFP) - In de Palestijnse gebieden zijn de stembureaus gesloten na lokale verkiezingen. Het was de eerste keer in twee decennia dat ook kon worden gestemd in een deel van de Gazastrook, een kustgebied dat sinds 2007 wordt bestuurd door Hamas.
Palestijnen op de bezette Westelijke Jordaanoever en in Deir al-Balah in Gaza konden lokale besturen kiezen. Die gaan over voorzieningen als water en wegen.
De stembureaus in Deir al-Balah sloten het eerst, omdat stemmen daar bij daglicht geteld moesten worden. Dat komt omdat er in de zwaar gebombardeerde Gazastrook nog problemen zijn met de elektriciteitsvoorziening.
Lage opkomst
In de loop van de dag leek de opkomst laag uit te vallen. Bij meerdere stembureaus op de Westelijke Jordaanoever was er vrijwel niemand, zag een journalist.
Sommige kiezers waren blij met de kans om weer te stemmen. "Als Palestijn en zoon van de Gazastrook voel ik me trots dat het democratische proces na deze oorlog terugkeert", zei een 52-jarige man in Deir al-Balah.
