Mexico 2018...



To defeat the reigning world champions and  favorite to lift the trophy again was special enough. But to go out and attack them from the start -- and for the 22-year-old Lozano to get the winning goal -- made this an afternoon that will long live in the memory.
Mexico could do great damage on the counter attack. They defend very well then on the counter, they are very quick opening the opponent's  defense lines wide. That is their game plan and they were very successful at it. The speed on the counter put the German team in unbalanced situation repeatedly.
This Mexican team is moving forward in this tournament.

A police officer used a metal detector to find a woman’s $20,000 engagement ring after she lost it on Fire Island, officials said.  The woman called the police after she realized she’d lost the pricey ring.
When the search of the home turned up short, another officer brought his personal metal detector to Atlantique Beach, where the woman had been sitting.  After 10 minutes, the metal detector went off, and Officer McDowell managed to locate the ring in the sand. It was the second missing ring the officer has used his metal detector to find, the department said.

Don't lose it again, insurance may not pay easily.

Federal prosecutors indicted Elizabeth Holmes on criminal fraud charges for allegedly defrauding investors, doctors and the public as the head of the once-heralded blood-testing startup Theranos. Federal prosecutors also brought charges against the company's former second-in-command.

Holmes, and her former Chief Operating Officer Ramesh Balwani, are charged with two counts conspiracy to commit wire fraud and nine counts of wire fraud each,  
Prosecutors allege that Holmes and Balwani deliberately misled investors, policymakers and the public about the accuracy of Theranos' blood-testing technologies going back to at least 2013. Holmes, 34, founded Theranos in Palo Alto, California, in 2003.  
Holmes said Theranos had discovered a new way of doing blood testing, dozens of tests with just a prick of a finger and few droplets of blood. A notoriously secretive company, Theranos shared very little about its blood-testing machine, nicknamed Edison, with the public or medical community. Holmes said she was inspired to start the company in response to her fear of needles.      Now we find out.
