Sharjah Ruler Gifts University of Sacred Heart Historical Manuscript
Milan, Italy: His Highness Sheikh Dr Sultan bin Mohammed Al Qasimi, Supreme Council Member and Ruler of Sharjah, presented a rare original historical manuscript to the Catholic University of the Sacred Heart in Milan, Italy, in the presence of Her Highness Sheikha Jawaher bint Mohammed Al Qasimi, Wife of His Highness the Ruler of Sharjah, Chairperson of the Supreme Council for Family Affairs (SCFA). This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: Sharjah Ruler gifts University of Sacred Heart historical manuscript (Photo: AETOSWire) The manuscript dates back to August 14 , 1624, and includes a papal decree written by Pope Urban VIII and sealed in the Church of Santa Maria Maggiore in Rome. Additionally, His Highness gifted his book 'Papal Bull' in both Arabic and English at the university's premises. In his speech, His Highness the Ruler of Sharjah expressed his gratitude and appreciation to the Rector and members of the Catholic University of the Sacred Heart in Milan for their warm welcome. His Highness spoke about the manuscript he gifted to the university, which dates back to August 14 , 1624, highlighting that it is a papal decree written by Pope Urban VIII and sealed in the Church of Santa Maria Maggiore. The purpose of the decree was to raise financial assistance for the Portuguese fleet. His Highness the Ruler of Sharjah discussed the conflict between the Portuguese and the English in Hormuz, stating, 'In 1622, the Portuguese were expelled from Hormuz at the entrance to the Arabian Gulf from the Persian coast, where they had occupied it for one hundred and fifteen years, by English and Persian forces. The mission of the Portuguese leaders, along with the priests, was evangelization, whether in Hormuz, Persia, or India.' His Highness added, 'After the English expelled the Portuguese from Hormuz in Persia, King Philip of Portugal sought to retake Hormuz. However, the Portuguese government lacked the financial resources to send a military campaign for its recovery. King Philip requested financial support from the clergy, which led Pope Urban VIII to issue a papal decree to collect the necessary funds from the churches.' His Highness the Ruler of Sharjah explained that he translated and studied this decree, tracking the funds collected through the churches, which amounted to two hundred thousand cruzados, a Portuguese gold currency at the time. The goal was to build a fleet and send it to India to retake Hormuz. His Highness noted that the fleet required a special type of large ship capable of crossing oceans, which would take considerable time, along with a sailing journey from Portugal to India that would last several months. His Highness indicated that King Philip ordered the funds to be sent to India to build a local fleet there, due to the short distance between India and Hormuz. He explained that the details of this fleet and its armament are mentioned in the book 'Papal Bull ' that he authored, as well as the account of its journey to the battle site in Hormuz against the English and Dutch forces, culminating in the defeat of the Portuguese fleet. His Highness the Ruler of Sharjah received a commemorative gift from the Rector of the Catholic University of the Sacred Heart, which was an original 3D map of the city of Milan dating back to 1657. *Source: AETOSWire View source version on Disclaimer: The above press release comes to you under an arrangement with Business Wire.

Thibodeau on Knicks' Game 5 performance
Knicks beat Pacers in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference finals to force Game 6 Saturday night in Indiana Getty Images Jalen Brunson and Karl-Anthony Towns set the tone for New York, combining to score 56 points and paved the way for a 111-94 Knicks win in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference finals at Madison Square Garden. Brunson scored the Knicks' first six points of the night, eventually finishing with 32 points on 12-18 shooting to go with five rebounds and five assists. Towns battled through foul trouble but still finished with 24 points and 13 boards. Tyrese Haliburton followed his magical Game 4 with a muted performance, with just eight points on 2-7 shooting and six assists. Bennedict Mathurin had another strong night, scoring 23 points in 25 minutes, and Pascal Siakam scored 15 points on just 5-13 shooting. Game 6 will be Saturday at 8 p.m. ET in Indiana. GO FURTHER NBA playoffs takeaways: Jalen Brunson-led Knicks top Pacers, force Game 6 Connections: Sports Edition Spot the pattern. Connect the terms Find the hidden link between sports terms The Knicks looked more like an old-school Tom Thibodeau team than at any other point this series with how they defended. "I thought our guys were tied together in trying to make (Tyrese Haliburton) work for everything," Thibodeau said. "That's what you have to do. You have to make them fight on every possession." Offensively, Thibodeau said Jalen Brunson and Karl-Anthony Towns' aggression in the first quarter "set the tone" for the game. "We gotta make sure we stay aggressive, and we have to stay disciplined." All of a sudden, Bennedict Mathurin has scored 20+ points in consecutive games for the Indiana Pacers. After scoring just 11 points across the first three games of the series, he scored 20 points in Game 4 and followed that up with a 23-point night in Game 5. Mathurin shot 6-10 from the field and got to the line nine times, converting on each of these attempts. He has now shot 20 free throws in the last two games over just 27 minutes of action. Including playoffs, the Indiana Pacers are only 3-10 this season when Tyrese Haliburton scores fewer than 10 points this season. Haliburton had only 8 points on 2-of-7 field goals, his fewest field goal attempts in a game since December 26. "We just found a way," Jalen Brunson tells TNT on the court after the final buzzer sounds on the Knicks' Game 5 win. "I feel like we just played better. We played to our standards. We give them a lot of credit for the way they play, but we played Knicks basketball tonight." On the pressure in Game 6 with the Knicks still facing elimination: "Just focus on one thing at a time, one quarter and go from there." That lack of aggression from Indiana starts with the Pacers' superstar. A stat line of eight points on 2-for-7 shooting in a potential close-out game is worthy of criticism if it game from a 20-minute-a-game bench player, let alone Tyrese Haliburton. He did have six assists, but if he wants to lead the Pacers to the NBA Finals, he can't afford another performance like that this series. With the Knicks needing a win to prolong their season, Karl-Anthony Towns met the moment just like he did in Game 3. New York's center scored 24 points on 10-20 shooting and grabbed 13 boards. He was aggressive from the outset, putting pressure on the rim, especially in his minutes with Jalen Brunson. Towns picked up a few silly fouls and had to navigate foul trouble in the second half, otherwise this could have been an even bigger game for him. "If we find a Pacer highlight, it'd be a miracle." — Charles Barkley, on the "Inside the NBA" postgame show New York had 10 steals in Game 5. They weren't able to turn Tyrese Haliburton over. But the 10 steals is the most the Knicks have had since Game 2 of the semifinals at Boston. The Pacers finished the game shooting 40.5 percent from the field. That is their lowest field goal percentage in any of their 15 postseason games this season. Their previous low was 43.3 percent in their Game 3 loss to the Bucks. Myles Turner was the only Pacers starter to shoot better than 50 percent and he only scored five points on 2-of-3 shooting. The rest of the starters shot less than 40 percent from the field. Pascal Siakam: 5-of-13 from the field Aaron Nesmith: 1-of-8 from the field Andrew Nembhard: 3-of-8 from the field Tyrese Haliburton: 2-of-7 from the field The Indiana Pacers attempted only 74 field goals tonight, a byproduct of 22 New York fouls, but also a postseason high 19 turnovers while also getting only eight offensive rebounds. The 74 attempts is Indiana's fewest in the 97 games they have played this season. Feels like the Knicks have found themselves a legitimate 9-10 man rotation over the last 3 games with Landry Shamet and Delon Wright. Pacers were searching a little bit tonight. Interested to see how they punch back in Game 6. For the third time in these Eastern Conference finals, Jalen Brunson poured in the points at Madison Square Garden. But for the first time, it resulted in a win. Brunson set the tone early in the first quarter and finished with 32 points, five assists and five rebounds to help force a Game 6. FINAL - Knicks 111, Pacers 94 There will be a Game 6 in the 2025 Eastern Conference finals. The Knicks keep their season alive behind heroic games from Jalen Brunson and Karl-Anthony Towns and their best defensive performance of this series. See you Saturday in Indianapolis. In all seriousness, it is interesting that Nembhard is the one starter finishing this game. He is now 5 for 27 in the last three games. Maybe Carlisle is hoping he can get any sort of positive moment to help propel him on Saturday. There's a loud "Knicks in 7" chant at MSG and the locals are projecting confidence. The Pacers just didn't bring the requisite level of energy and fight to tonight's game. To end a team's season, you need to be willing to play with the same level of desperation as the team with their back against the wall. Indiana was not ready to do that tonight and now they will have to go back home to try to end the Knicks' season on Saturday. Great response by the Knicks, their two stars brought their A games and the whole squad really dialed up the defense. Indiana's starting unit has had dominant numbers all season, but they were totally outclassed tonight. Q4 1:29 - Knicks 108, Pacers 90 Madison Square Garden is on its feet. The Knicks are about to win a home game for the first time in this series. We're less than 90 minutes from Game 6 in Indiana on Saturday. Rick Carlisle has pulled all his starters except for Andrew Nembhard. Knowing this series, this is when the Pacers comeback starts. Page 2

A rugby tour 12 years in the making: Australia awaits the British and Irish Lions
BRISBANE, Australia (AP) — A huge economic boost, 40,000 British and Irish visitors in a swathe of red supporter gear, and the combined rugby might of four countries set to take on Australia. The 10-match British and Irish Lions tour — a once-every-12-year occasion for Australia — kicks off next month and local organizers are already primed for the influx of rugby-loving visitors from England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales. The first of three test matches is 50 days away, in Brisbane on July 19. The second test is scheduled for July 26 in Melbourne and the third in Sydney on Aug. 2. 'The Lions is something that tends to reach beyond just the rugby union fans,' Australia head coach Joe Schmidt said during a visit Friday to Suncorp Stadium, "because it's such an infrequent tour, people just get interested and we'd love to earn the support of all those folk by being really competitive. 'I'd love to think we're in the hunt.' Who are the Lions? The first Lions tour in 1888 comprised mostly English players and included matches in Australia and New Zealand. The tradition grew and since 1989, a Lions squad featuring Irish, England, Scottish and Welsh players has toured every four years on a rotational basis to Australia, New Zealand and South Africa. Andy Farrell is head coach of a 38-man squad for the 2025 tour, with England lock Maro Itoje selected as captain. Recent history Australian rugby has declined since its historic 2001 series victory over the Lions. The 1999 Rugby World Cup champions recovered to clinch that series with back-to-back wins in Melbourne and Sydney after a first-test loss in Brisbane, when the Wallabies were stunned by a crowd overwhelmingly dominated by visiting fans. In 2013, the Lions — coming off a mid-week loss to the Canberra-based Brumbies in a tour game — edged Australia 23-21 in the first test in Brisbane and then, after losing 16-15 in Melbourne, rallied for a comprehensive 41-6 victory in Sydney. Wallabies resurgence After failing to make the Rugby World Cup quarterfinals in 2023, Australia has been in a rebuilding phase under New Zealand-born Schmidt, a former Ireland coach. The Wallabies had six wins in 13 tests in a 2024 season that ended in a 22-19 loss to Ireland in Dublin, but an influx of new players and some improved performances have increased expectations for 2025. Schmidt, who will start assembling his squad next month as domestic teams bow out of the Super Rugby Pacific championship, knows that the Wallabies need to start being more consistent to win back the support of an Australian public which has a vast number of sporting choices. The Wallabies are No. 8 in the World Rugby rankings for men's international teams and need to improve quickly to get a good seeding for the 2027 World Cup, which Australia is hosting. We 'need a series of really good performances and, and it's something that we're aspirational about and we work really hard behind the scenes to try to get into the mix,' Schmidt said. 'I think some of the promising signs, the way the Wallabies finished off last year, the way the Super Rugby teams have competed this year, and so it's our challenge to try to continue that.' Seeing red James Horwill, Australia's captain in the 2013 series, has seen enough red when it comes to Lions tours. His enduring memory of the 2001 series, when he was a teenager watching the first test on TV? 'It felt like a home game for the British and Irish Lions just with just with the red shirts and the crowd," he said. He said there was more obvious support for Australia 12 years ago with more fans in gold, but the red of the Lions still stood out. 'You walk out of the hotel, there was red everywhere. It's almost like the British and Irish Lions fans don't bring anything else other than red t-shirts,' he said. 'They wear it everywhere, so we need our fans here to step up to the mark because we know they're coming in droves from the U.K." ___
