  Barcelona maestro, Lionel Messi, has said he believes the Catalan giants do not miss Brazilian superstar, Neymar Junior, after his world record move to French side, Paris Saint Germain (PSG). Messi, who just signed a new deal at Barca, told Marca: “Neymar’s departure has caused the way we play to change. “We lost a great deal of offensive potential but it favoured us in a defensive sense. “Currently we are most well-armed in the middle of the field, we have more balance and that makes us stronger defensively Ousmane Dembele, who was brought in to replace Neymar, has spent most of the season on the sidelines because of injury. The former Borussia Dortmund man is widely regarded as a star of the future and should give the side a major boost when he returns Messi and his team-mates have yet to lose a league fixture and have only conceded four goals and they 0-0 draw in Turin against Juventus ensured qualification for the next round of the Champions...

  Former Chelsea midfielder, Frank Lampard, has revealed what striker, Alvaro Morata must do to be like club Legend, Didier Drogba. Lampard said that Morata will need to spend ten productive years at the Blues to get near Drogba. Drogba, during his time at Stamford Bridge, scored 164 goals for the Premier League champions. Morata is hoping to tread a similar path, following a £70 million summer move from Real Madrid, and has set about that task in a positive manner after netting 12 goals and providing four assists so far. Lampard, though, admitted the Spain international has some way to go before he can claim to be as important to the cause as a forward he enjoyed many memorable triumphs alongside. When pressed on what Morata can achieve for Chelsea, Lampard said, “Ask me in 10 years. “Didier Drogba produced it for 10 years and pretty much won Chelsea the Champions League. Without him we wouldn’t have won it. “He produced many a great moment in big games. But ...

The African rural world is one I know well. I grew out of rural poverty myself and went to a rural school without electricity and lived in a village where we had to walk for kilometres to find water. We had to study after dark with candles or kerosene lanterns. By God’s grace, I made it out of poverty to where I am today. But for tens of millions of those in similar situations, especially in rural Africa, the outcomes are not like mine. For most, the potential has simply been wasted. Some 60% of Africans live in rural areas. Such areas are dependent overwhelmingly on agriculture for livelihoods. The key to improving the quality of life in rural areas is therefore to transform agriculture. But the low productivity of farming, the poor state of rural infrastructure, digital exclusion and poor access to modern tools and agronomic information make the quality of life very low in these areas. Unfortunately not much has changed since I was at my rural school. Economic oppor...

 Approximately two-thirds of sub-Saharan Africa’s population is dependent on agriculture and the sector is responsible for generating one-third of the continent’s GDP. With its vast arable land, Africa has the potential to not only feed its citizens but to export food to other regions of the world. It is therefore astonishing that Africa must import food and rely on food aid to feed its people. The majority of poor subsistence farmers lack the income to buy seeds, fertilizers and tools and the resources to set up even the simplest irrigation system.  Development assistance for agriculture could help provide the resources and the technical expertise to move smallholder farmers out of poverty, but development assistance for agriculture has declined dramatically in the last two-decades. Land-use policies and climate change have exacerbated the dire situation, as have the recent global food and financial crises. ONE urges development partners to implement the fol...

A woman says Sen. Al Franken inappropriately touched her in 2010, telling CNN that he grabbed her buttocks while taking a photo at the Minnesota State Fair. It is the first allegation of improper touching by Franken, who is a Democrat, while he was in office. It comes just days after Leeann Tweeden, a local radio news anchor in California, said that Franken forcibly kissed and groped her in 2006, when Franken was a comedian. Franken has since issued an apology to Tweeden and faces a potential investigation by the Senate Ethics Committee. Lindsay Menz, a 33-year-old woman who now lives in Frisco, Texas, reached out to CNN on Thursday hours after Tweeden made her story public. Menz said she wanted to share an "uncomfortable" interaction that left her feeling "gross." According to Menz, she attended the Minnesota State Fair with her husband and father in the summer of 2010, almost two years after Franken was elected to the Senate. Her father...

Extreme hair lengths have been dominating the airwaves for a while now, but of course, we can leave it up to Beyoncé to take the trend to the next level. The star was one of the many guests who attended Serena Williams and Alexis Ohanian's luscious wedding ceremony Thursday in New Orleans. While the star appeared in a quietly elegant green number, the attention of the eye was immediately focused on Bey's larger-than-life manes. Her blonde curls reached to thigh length, which she tied into a simple ponytail for maximum effect. Little short strands peeked out to frame her face, adding a casual touch to a look that is anything but. Though the star has often been spotted in blonde waves, this new style is literally taking it to new lengths. The mother-of-three kept the rest of her make-up to a neutral palette, allowing for a surprise effect when she turns around. We know that Williams and Ohanian's wedding was themed after fairytales, so we can only speculate th...

Selena Gomez didn’t just debut a new platinum crop at AMAs—she also unveiled a sexy new side to her red carpet style. In the past she’s taken to Giorgio Armani gowns, a sparkly Givenchy halter mini-dress, and a sweeping red Prada number, too, though this leather turn was a statement-making departure from her wardrobe, much like her new blonde ’do. And considering Gomez is set to perform her new single “Wolves,” she’s sure to have more sartorial tricks up her sleeve.Arriving on the red carpet solo (read: without Justin Bieber, like many fans may have hoped), Gomez zipped into a leather mini dress by Coach 1941 that looked like an extended leather jacket thanks to the all-over zipper detailing and classic motorcycle collar. The figure-hugging dress came dotted with pastel star patchwork at the shoulder that brought a streetwise flair to the scene in Los Angeles. She amped up the micro-mini proportions even further with a pair of embellished black pumps that tied in with h...

 After 19 minutes of dueling, with four bidders on the telephone and one in the room, Leonardo da Vinci’s “Salvator Mundi” sold on Wednesday night for $450.3 million with fees, shattering the high for any work of art sold at auction. It far surpassed Picasso’s “Women of Algiers,” which fetched $179.4 million at Christie’s in May 2015. The buyer was not immediately disclosed. There were gasps throughout the sale, as the bids climbed by tens of millions up to $225 million, by fives up to $260 million, and then by twos. As the bidding slowed, and a buyer pondered the next multi-million-dollar increment, Jussi Pylkkanen, the auctioneer, said, “It’s an historic moment; we’ll wait.” Toward the end, Alex Rotter, Christie’s co-chairman of postwar and contemporary art, who represented a buyer on the phone, made two big jumps to shake off one last rival bid from Francis de Poortere, Christie’s head of old master paintings. The price is all the more remarkable at a tim...

1. Do exercises that target the hips. Side leg raises, hip raises and squat kicks should all be part of a hip-enhancing exercise regimen. The mac-daddy of hip-widening exercises may be the side lunge with dumbbells. This is a beefed-up version of a traditional lunge that allows for more resistance, and therefore, more potential muscle growth and hip width. Plant your feet a little more than two feet apart. Turn your toes out slightly. Bend your right knee and come down into a lunge position. Your left leg will be completely straight and act as a pivot. Come down until your thigh is parallel to the ground. Clench the butt muscle Then using hip power, push yourself back up, straightening your right leg. Do not put your feet back together. You are going to maintain the 2-foot distance between your feet during the entirety of this exercise. Now, lunge down to the other side. Come down until your knee is bent at a 90-degree angle and then push back up. Again, straighten...
