The Africa Cup of Nations is always a star-studded event, and while that can put a strain on high-profile clubs that lose some of their best players, fans get the chance to watch some of the world's best in action on the international stage.
The World's Top Tens Set
Attacking talent tops this list for obvious reasons, but Edouard Mendy has proven himself one of the best Premier League players since arriving at Chelsea in 2020, and his talent should be on full display in this competition. Mendy helped push Senegal to the final of the 2019 competition, and they'll have an eye on overcoming the final hurdle this time around. The 29-year-old is statistically-speaking one of the top goalkeepers in the EPL this season, ranked in the top five by both WhoScored and SofaScore, meaning Senegal is getting one of the world's best at peak form.
In addition to high blood pressure (hypertension), faintness, panic attacks, and seizures, severe instances can occur if an individual loses consciousness and seizures.

The ancient institutions that are here today are significant for their historic legacies and for proving their ability to adapt to modern contexts and remain relevant in a globalized world in spite of intense competition.
Exploring the relationship between relative and absolute, Walter de Maria used geometric forms to create a series of repetitions in his sculptures, installations and land works. Trained initially as a painter, he turned his art quickly toward sculpture with a practise at the intersection of Minimal Art, Conceptual Art and Land Art. Influenced by his peers such as Donald Judd and by Dadaism, Suprematism and Constructivism, he developed his interest toward viewer-interactive, serialised and numbered sculptures. Using basic geometric components and following mathematical sequences, he arranged forms to create a series of repetitions. His artworks in cast and polished steel, are set in polygonal structures that convey to the viewer a sense of absolute. His most known land work, Lighting Field (1977), is a grid of one mile by one kilometer installed in a remote area of the New Mexico desert. The grid consists of four hundred polished stainless steel poles, measuring over twenty feet tall and with a pointed tip defining a horizontal plane, the point of attraction for lightning strikes. The visitor can both walk inside the grid or look from afar and is subjected to a physical and psychic experience. Art, landscape and nature meet in a series of intense optical effects, that change according to time and space.
His work can be divided into permanent and temporary projects. The latter are made out of organic and ephemeral materials and, following the life cycle, are meant to disappear. Through branches, leaves, rocks and ice, he creates several repeating patterns such as spirals, circles, or snaking lines. The ephemerality that is at the core of these projects is a reflection of a constantly changing natural world and fragile ecology. The sole documentation that remains is the colored photographs taken by the artist. His more recent permanent site-specific installations differ in scale, tension and lifetime, but they always represent a fundamental investigation of the surrounding landscape and the beauty of its inherent materials.

Tallying the number of speakers of the world's languages is anincreasingly complex task, particularly with the push in many countries to teach English in their public schools. How many people can actually use the global language? David Graddol estimated a total of 750 million L1 (first or native language) plus L2 (second or nth language) speakers of English in his Future of English Report (pdf document) for the British Council. One of our subscribers, Prof. Martin Schell, has reviewed Prof. Braj Kachru's new book Asian Englishes which claims that India and China combined have over half a billion "users" of English.
Indeed, many people are bilingual or multilingual, but here we assign only one language per person in order to have all the language totals add up to the total world population (zero-sum approach). No adjustments have been made for infants or illiteracy in the Internet penetration rate calculations. Very few countries have 100% literacy. Australia, Denmark, Finland, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg and Norway are six countries to mention. Regarding children, most are early Internet adopters (when and where children are given the chance to use a computer to surf the Web).
