RIYADH: The Saudi Pro League is no stranger to big-name foreign coaches, with a host of high-profile names washing through the league over the past decade or more. But arguably this season’s best coach is, with the greatest of respect, the very definition of a no-name coach — he doesn’t even have a Wikipedia page. Croatian Kresimir Rezic was appointed coach of historically unheralded Damac, from Khamis Mushait in south-west Saudi Arabia; a club that have spent the better part of the past three decades in the lower reaches of the Saudi football ecosystem....

If we’re being honest, most of us will admit that we choose our shoes based purely on aesthetics, not really thinking about whether they’re fit for purpose. But while we probably know deep down those high heels and narrow, rigid shoes are bad for our feet, it turns out that over-engineered, cushioned trainers aren’t doing them any favours either. Decades of slick marketing campaigns fronted by sporting and cultural icons may have told us that technologically advanced trainers are essential for running faster and leaping further, but is that really true?...

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy’s office on Friday accused his predecessor, Petro Poroshenko, of running away from criminal charges back home, and of engaging in self-promotion harmful to the country just as it faces the risk of a new military attack by Russia. The statement, by Mykhailo Podolyak, an adviser in the president’s office, was in response to an interview with POLITICO in which Poroshenko insisted that the charges of “high treason” against him amounted to politically motivated prosecution — an act of revenge by Zelenskiy, the actor and comedian who defeated Poroshenko in 2019, denying him a second five-year term....

Sometimes you get home after a long day, there are no leftovers in the fridge and you just know you really shouldn’t order out. And that’s when I reach for my handy list of go-to recipes and find something easy to make that I already have the ingredients for in the pantry. Sure, it sounds simple - because it is - but until I bothered to formalise it, actually write recipes down as I made them, I was constantly looking up the same few recipes over and over again, forced to scroll past the mandatory “humorous” anecdotes and irritating pop-up ads every single time....

Tunisian police used tear gas and water cannon on Friday to disperse hundreds of demonstrators protesting against President Kais Saied's takeover of the country in July. The demonstrators had gathered despite restrictions on gatherings imposed on Thursday due to a spate of coronavirus cases in the country.

The term “plant blindness” was coined in 1998 to describe our general tendency, as humans, not to see the plant life that surrounds us. The problem has understandable roots: the human brain evolved to detect difference, and then to categorise that difference as either threat or non-threat. Plants, being unlikely to attack, are lumped together and treated as background, a green screen against which dramas take place....

Five years ago, Galahad Clark was on a quest to find the world’s most perfect feet. His search led him to the crimson sands of the Namibian Kalahari desert, where he met a wizened cobbler from the San bushmen tribe making ersatz sandals from old car tyres. The improvised material may have been rudimentary – hunting restrictions meant the shoemaker couldn’t use his usual eland antelope skins – but the sandals were thin soled, tailor-made for each individual tribesperson’s feet, and adapted to the rugged environment that the wearer would be running or hunting in....
