It's one football club in South Africa that he signed for. I'm looking forward to seeing how is going to do on the pitch. Although I wouldn't count age as a barrier for him. Totti of Roma was how many years old before he stopped playing? Buffon is how old now and is still playing? And what about Zalatan?
Venezuela's pro-government constituent assembly announced on Tuesday that elections should be held by April 30.
Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro said that he was ready to contest the elections and bid for a second term.
The announcement comes after the European Union imposed sanctions against seven high-ranking officials for their role in suppressing democratic freedoms on protesters and the violent anti-Maduro protests last year.
"If the world wants to apply sanctions, we will apply elections. There will be a revolution for a long time to come. I'm a humble worker and ready to be a candidate if that's what the social and political forces of the Bolivarian revolution decide," said Diosdado Cabello, one of the sanctioned officials and vice-president of the assembly.
Maduro, a former bus driver and foreign minister under the former president Hugo Chavez cabinet, took over in 2013 after Chavez died battling cancer.
Its coalition is made up of more than two dozen parties with different ideological differences. They often bicker over their own strategies and decisions that have affected most poor Venezuelans.
Last year, Venezuela witnessed its worst economic crisis when people protested in huge numbers against food shortage, hyperinflation and declining oil production. Its foreign exchange reserves also collapsed, causing the country's economy to collapse completely. (ANI)
Buffalo Bills Hall of Fame quarterback Jim Kelly has once again been diagnosed with oral cancer.
Kelly released a statement Thursday through his publicist saying he is "shocked and deeply saddened" by the news, and vows to once again fight to overcome the disease. He did not go into specifics on the diagnoses except to say the cancer was discovered following a test.

"As our family has faced many trials and triumphs throughout the years, you have blessed us with your prayers. We are asking for those prayers once again," Kelly said. "With all of you by my side, we will fight and win this battle together."
Kelly then closed his statement by saying: "Staying `Kelly Tough' and trusting God will carry us through this difficult time."
The diagnosis comes a few weeks after Kelly celebrated his 58th birthday.
Kelly had been cancer-free since September 2014 , but had been required to undergo routine follow-up testing.
He was first diagnosed with squamous cell carcinoma, which led to him having surgery to have a portion of his upper jaw removed in June 2013.
Follow-up tests nine months later showed the cancer spread to his sinus, which led to radiation and chemotherapy treatments. Kelly lost 70 pounds while being treated.
The effects of the cancer and treatments led to Kelly having trouble speaking. He could also no longer produce saliva and had lost the sense of taste.
Kelly's wife, Jill, posted a note on her Instagram account accompanied with a picture of her with her arm around her husband.
"We are shocked, heartbroken, sad, angry, confused and just darn tired," Jill Kelly wrote. "Yet despite how we feel, we KNOW that God is a promise maker and keeper. ... The more life and heartbreak I experience, the more I realize that this is not the end of the story."
Bills show support
Several Bills players and NFL teams, including Buffalo, posted notes of encouragement on Twitter.
"Jim is a tough and courageous man, and we know he will fight this battle with strength and determination," the Bills said in a statement released by the team. "The Buffalo Bills will support the Kelly family during this trying time, and we ask our fans to pray for the family, as Jim beings the treatment process and the road to recovery."
Kelly spent 11 seasons with the Bills before retiring following the 1996 season and has since made Buffalo his home.
He is the Bills most accomplished quarterback and part of a team that reached four consecutive Super Bowl appearances — all losses — in the early 1990s. Kelly remains very active in the community particularly through his Kelly for Kids charitable foundation.
In January 2017, Kelly teamed with several cancer organizations and pharmaceutical giant Merck to produce a promotional campaign titled "Your Cancer Game Plan " to assist and advise people diagnosed with cancer. The campaign emphasized nutrition, education, communication with caregivers and maintaining a positive attitude.
Kelly told The Associated Press that staying upbeat helped him cope in beating cancer. He also refused to feel sorry for himself, which reinforced his desire to share his experiences with others.
"I have no room to complain," Kelly said. "If tomorrow the good Lord decides that's my last day, then I'm not going to go down with a frown. I'm going down with a smile on my face, knowing that I've gotten everything out of life."
The White House is getting ready to replace national security adviser H.R. McMaster, who could be out of the White House as early as next month, according to NBC News. The move is being coordinated by White House Chief of Staff John Kelly and Defense Secretary James Mattis, the outlet reported. Stephen Biegun, the vice president for International Governmental Affairs at Ford Motor Company, is reportedly the “leading candidate” for the job. Biegun was on the National Security Council staff from 2001 to 2003, and served as a senior staffer to then-national security adviser Condoleezza Rice. Rice connected Biegun and Mattis, who reportedly determined the Ford executive would be a good fit for the role. Biegun would be Trump’s third national security adviser. Last year, McMaster replaced Michael Flynn, who resigned after 24 days in office. This comes after a string of recent departures and staff shake-ups, most recently the announcement that White House Communications Director Hope Hicks would be leaving in the coming months.
Jared Kushner’s father made a direct pitch to the Qatari government in an attempt to secure an investment in a Kushner Companies asset in April 2017—just weeks before his son is said to have backed a Saudi blockade of Qatar, according to a report in The Intercept. Kushner’s father, Charles, who heads up the real-estate company, is reported to have met Qatari Finance Minister Ali Sharif in New York last year to discuss financing the company’s troubled 666 Fifth Ave. office tower. A month after the failed negotiations, Jared Kushner reportedly advised President Trump to back a blockade against Qatar, with Trump later tweeting in June that the country funded “radical ideology.” There have been previous reports that the Kushners sought financial backing from Qataris, but The Intercept claims that this is the first time the family firm has been revealed to have attempted to get money from a Qatari government minister. Kushner Companies spokesperson Christine Taylor said: “We don’t comment on who Charlie meets with,” adding: “We don’t do business with any sovereign funds.”
