  The sale of Chelsea Football Club in 2022 was one of the highest-profile and most controversial sports transactions of all time. In the shadow of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, what unfolded after Roman Abramovich was forced to put his beloved club up for sale would change English football for ever. Under the threat of bankruptcy and ruin, Chelsea pulled off a complex transaction in a quarter of the time many analysts would normally set aside for such a deal. Sanctioned is the definitive account of this unique period.
  Through unprecedented access to Abramovich himself and further interviews with a star-studded footballing cast, Nick Purewal unfolds a wide-ranging tale of political sanctions, hushed negotiations and Cold War-style geopolitics, all told against a backdrop of war on the edge of Europe.
  From the club's owners to its staff, players and supporters, via UK government intervention, dramatic peace talks and even a foul-play poisoning episode, Sanctioned chronicles ninety-five extraordinary days in English football.

  Published in Rock and Ice Magazine in 1986, this essay, co-written by John Long and Dwight Brooks, tells the story of a hair-raising caving adventure in Papua New Guinea. This selection is part of the full length audiobook, "Explore: Stories of Survival From Off The Map." 
   
  Dwight Brooks (born 1954) is an independent novelist and teacher. John Long (born July 21, 1953) is an American rock climber and author. A skilled free climber, Long popularized "free soloing" (climbing with no rope) during his high school days out at Joshua Tree National Park, first introducing John Bachar to the practice in 1974 with their now fêted ascent of Double Cross, at Joshua Tree. Long's many climbing feats include the first one-day ascent of the most sought after rock climb in North America, the 3,000 foot Nose route on El Capitan, on Memorial Day, 1975, with Jim Bridwell and Billy Westbay. The following year, partnered with Dale Bard, Long made the second one-day ascent of El Cap via the West Face, in the remarkable time of five hours. He followed this with blitz ascents of Leaning Tower, Washington Column, Half Dome and Ribbon Falls, precipitating the modern speed climbing movement so popular today, both in Yosemite Valley and beyond.

  This is the audio recording of the "Phantom Punch" title fight--the second championship bout between Muhammad Ali and Sonny Liston--held on May 25, 1965, at St. Dominic’s Hall in Lewiston, Maine. It also includes a follow-up analysis by boxing experts. This rematch is infamous for the controversial "phantom punch" that led to Liston's quick defeat in the first round. Ali knocked Liston down, but the punch was not clearly seen by many observers, leading to speculation about a fix. The fight was marred by confusion, as the referee failed to administer a proper count, and the atmosphere surrounding the event was tense, contributing to its notoriety.

  Basketball Brilliance -...

  Basketball is a fast-paced, dynamic game that combines athleticism, skill, and strategy. Understanding the fundamentals is key to becoming proficient on the court, whether you are a beginner or an experienced player. This chapter will introduce the basic concepts of the game, from the layout of the court to the different player positions and essential rules. 
  The first step in mastering basketball is understanding the court layout. The basketball court is a rectangular surface, typically 94 feet long and 50 feet wide, with a hoop at each end. The court is divided into two main sections: the frontcourt, where the offensive team plays, and the backcourt, where the defensive team operates. Key markings on the court include the three-point arc, free-throw line, and the key area, also known as the paint, which is crucial for both offense and defense. 
  Next, it’s important to know the different player positions. There are five main positions on the basketball court: point guard, shooting guard, small forward, power forward, and center. Each position plays a unique role depending on their strengths and the team’s strategy. The point guard is typically the team’s primary ball handler, responsible for directing the offense and distributing the ball. The shooting guard focuses on scoring, especially through perimeter shots. The small forward is versatile, able to score, defend, and contribute in various aspects of the game. The power forward is often a physical presence in the paint, both offensively and defensively, while the center usually plays near the basket, focusing on rebounding and shot-blocking.
