Fognini, who beat world number one Andy Murray in the previous round, lost the first set 6-3 and his game deteriorated early in the second set, when the Italian argued with umpire Mohamed Lahyani over a Zverev serve. Lahyani got out of his chair to check a mark at Fognini’s request, but told the Italian to “stop talking” after a disagreement over which mark it was. Zverev, who turned 20 last month, wrapped up the second set 6-3, and will play either Tomas Berdych or Canada’s Milos Raonic, the number five seed, in the quarter-finals....

Consumer electronics manufacturers have eliminated several legacy connections from home theater components used for years or even decades, limiting the practical use of older, but still functioning, devices that use these connections exclusively. Here are examples of connections that are being, or have been, eliminated. S-Video Connections Most TVs, home theater receivers, and other video source components no longer have S-Video connections. Legacy devices that use this connection are S-VHS VCRs and camcorders, Hi8 camcorders, mini-DV camcorders, older DVD players, AV switchers, and most remaining LaserDisc players....

The prospective buyer shared her dilemma to Mumsnet, revealing while she felt uneasy about the idea, her husband didn’t see a problem with it. Posting under 1988TBT, she revealed she was a local resident, which is how she knew about the grizzly crime, which happened just over a year ago. The house hunter captioned the post “would you live in a house where there had been a murder?” and it’s already amassed more than 200 responses since being uploaded on Tuesday....

The majority of the events over the past few months have favored long hitters off the tee, but PGA National is a distinct departure from that style of play. Not only is the rough at PGA National by far the most brutal we have seen thus far, but there is also water on all but two holes. This leads to many players going less-than-driver off tee in an attempt to avoid the many issues that PGA National presents....

SAE guidelines are largely recognized as automotive industry standards. In order to qualify as a Level 3 system, the technology must allow a driver to not responsible be responsible for control of the vehicle until requested by the system or the driver takes over because they choose to....

James’ jersey was burned and trampled in demonstrations in Hong Kong one day after the four-time MVP told reporters Morey “was misinformed” on the situation, referring to the risk he put players and teams in that were in China at the time of his tweet. “I don’t want to get into a (verbal) feud with Daryl Morey, but I believe he wasn’t educated on the situation at hand, and he spoke,” James said Monday, via ESPN....

But in Hong Kong—the ninth-largest city in China—the National Day of the People’s Republic of China is a very different affair. The semi-autonomous region has been beset by anti-government protests since June, with millions taking to the streets in opposition to Beijing’s encroaching political and legal influence. The Hong Kong government has already canceled a planned fireworks show to mark the anniversary and moved the ceremony inside a convention center, rather than holding it outside and risking disruption....

The website—named 803.hk after an August 3 incident in which activists threw a Chinese flag into Hong Kong’s harbor—is offering varying totals of between HK$200,000 (around $25,500) and HK$1 million (around $127,500) to identify individuals engaged in the most direct anti-government actions, Bloomberg noted. It is not clear who is behind the website nor whether they have any link to the governments of either Hong Kong or Beijing. The website says those running the page “come from all walks of life and hope that Hong Kong will return to peace as soon as possible....

Riot police have cut the university off from the outside world, with as many as 800 pro-democracy students believed to still be trapped inside, according to The Guardian. The large campus is located in the Kowloon area of the territory, facing downtown across Victoria Harbour. Students have been occupying the site since last week, ferrying in supplies, makeshift weapons and obstacles in preparation for police action. Universities have become a focal point for resistance over the past five months....

Unstoppable Austrian Marcel Hirscher consolidated his lead atop the overall World Cup standings with a blazing victory in the Moscow parallel slalom on Tuesday, but female counterpart Tina Maze fell short. Hirscher beat Sweden’s Andre Myhrer in the men’s two-leg final, while Germany’s Lena Duerr won the women’s slalom after inching past Slovak Veronika Velez-Zuzulova on the man-made slope in central Moscow. Hirscher’s victory, coming just two days after his triumph in the same discipline in Kitzbuehel, was his sixth of the season and 18th of his career on the World Cup circuit....

The session was painfully awkward. “How have you been doing? I know this is a difficult time for you,” said King. Ray, gaunt and ill from liver disease, replied: “The only thing is, my stomach kind of bulges out, and I need minor surgery.” Such banalities were a reminder that it was a depressingly ordinary man–a two-bit ex-con racist drifter–who changed history. This dissonance has helped drive those who believe that larger forces must have been involved and has persuaded some King allies to stand by Ray....

These mobs have been wreaking havoc on players’ bases for just about as long as Minecraft has been in existence. In the game, these mobs are roughly the size of the player character and are distinguishable by their green, white and black- colored bodies. What truly makes Creepers stand out though is their distinct hissing, explosive nature, unlikely inception and unique loot. What are Creepers in Minecraft? To put it mildly, Creepers are an absolute menace to everyone in the Minecraft community, from the newest player to the most seasoned veteran....

When the results of the Iowa Caucus trickled in this year, there was contention between two candidates on who the winner was—between Pete Buttigieg, the happy-go-lucky former mayor of South Bend, Indiana, and Bernie Sanders, the staunch senator of Vermont. It was Biden who sat squarely in fourth. And at the closing of the New Hampshire primary yesterday, Biden placed even lower—the once-favorite Democratic candidate slotted in fifth. With two poor showings in the nation’s first caucus and primary, hope may be dwindling in the Biden camp, and perhaps rightfully so....

Teallen96’s Hitman 3 video is only about 80 seconds long, but he claims the set up for the grand crushing took him a whopping ten hours of sneaking, choking out and body-dragging. What viewers do get to see is the pièce de résistance of his ambitious scheme, as the ever-stoic Agent 47 hits the switch and squishes every single NPC in the level in one fell swoop. RELATED: Hitman 3 Epic Games Players Will Be Able to Import Hitman 1 and 2 Soon...

A handful of players took the stage to accept the award, but it was Blues center Ryan O’Reilly who pulled off the most “hockey” of moves before he thanked the crowd. “Before I speak I’m gonna take my tooth out so I don’t spit on any of the celebs in the front row,” O’Reilly said. O’Reilly reached slowly up to his face, slightly opened up his mouth and pulled a tooth away so that a gapped smile shone through his grizzled beard....

For the first time, every team in the tournament has an equal chance towards the World Cup, be it the defending champions Australia, or even France, who is technically the lowest ranked team as per the FIH rankings. With the end of the final leg of crossovers, Belgium and Netherlands have made it to the quarterfinals. However, none had anticipated the way in which Belgium would proceed to the final eight....

There are plenty of things, however, that are widely familiar to fans and passive readers or viewers of Harry Potter. Mini-games like Wizard’s Chess or items like the Elder Wand and the Invisibility Cloak all carry their own legacy, but the broomstick competition of Quidditch is perhaps the most well-known, even spawning a real-world sport. It’s a fascinating game and one that has also been the subject of a virtual adaptation in the form of 2003’s Harry Potter: Quidditch World Cup....
