Three-time champion Williams was on the brink of following the likes of her sister Serena, world number one Simona Halep and Caroline Wozniacki out but hung in there to win 5-7 6-3 7-5 on Sunday. An aggressive Konta had no such trouble, the 11th seed easing to a 6-2 6-1 victory in her first meeting with Elise Mertens.

It was the deadliest U.S. jetliner crash since terrorists blew up Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland, in 1988. Initially, experts thought Colombian controllers speaking broken English caused the accident. But a senior U.S. air-safety official told NEWSWEEK that pilot error – or errors – led to the crash. The Federal Aviation Administration is studying American Airlines’ prior training to see if the blunders that apparently doomed Flight 965 are isolated or systemic....

Over the course of the pandemic, many game developers were forced to adapt to different work conditions, adding a layer of mental fortitude that Kojima expresses during the Summer Game Fest as an inspiration to continue work on Death Stranding. While the effects of the pandemic led to trying times for the veteran game developer, the announcement trailer for the PS5’s Director’s Cut gave fans a flashback to nostalgic times that were anything but subtle in its references to Metal Gear Solid....

The best method to get around on foot while carrying heavy loads is by using the variety of exo-skeletons available to Sam. Arguably the best and most difficult to acquire is the All-Terrain Exo-Skeleton which improves Sam’s footing on all landscapes, increasing speed in snowy areas and reducing the likelihood of falling. Getting this skeleton isn’t easy, however, and requires traveling to the far north during Episode 6. RELATED: Death Stranding: How to Get Armor Plates...

Death Stranding is Hideo Kojima’s first game since leaving Konami. Kojima’s Metal Gear Solid series revolutionised storytelling in games and altered standard mechanics with boss fights such as The End that would conclude after a certain time and date. Most famously, players would have to switch control ports to stop your enemy, Psycho Mantis, guessing your every move. With these features in mind, the news of the Bridge Baby communicating though a controller will open the imaginations of fans to what elements gameplay will include....

The gun issue has, for decades, served as one of our nation’s most clearly demarcated partisan battle lines. The Supreme Court, in the landmark 2008 decision of District of Columbia v. Heller, established for the very first time an individual constitutional right to possess firearms in “common use” for lawful/defensive purposes. But the scope of the Court’s holding continues to be litigated, and gun control advocates have continued to advance many of their preferred policies—perhaps especially so, in the aftermath of a wave of high-profile mass shootings in recent years....

Thakur limped off the field along with physio Patrick Farhart after bowling just ten deliveries in his first Test for India. The 26-year-old, India’s 294th Test cap, had been recently ruled out of the Asia Cup midway through the tournament. He was experiencing right hip issues and groin soreness after his side’s game against Hong Kong. He was back in action in no time, representing Mumbai in their Vijay Hazare Trophy 2018 game against Punjab on September 28, 10 days after the Hong Kong game....

She was surrounded by five pet cats that had also died, according to reports. Two more cats were found alive but malnourished.

Derived from the Geo Archon Morax, Mora acts as Genshin Impact’s world currency, which is used for upgrades and purchases from in-game vendors. Although unique materials are needed, Mora is a key component in every single character, weapon, and artifact upgrade. Without Mora, players cannot perform the necessary upgrades required to participate in high-leveled content. Fortunately, virtually every source of activity in Genshin Impact awards the player with Mora. Completing domains, quests, and daily challenges are just a few ways Genshin Impact players may obtain a helpful amount of Mora....

As reported by GameSpot, while the previous filing for the trademark of Deep Down from July 2013 is still active, Capcom has apparently doubled-down on its ownership of the title’s brand, as the company officially submitted a new application on February 9, 2017. As one should expect, both the filing from 2013 and from 2017 are identical in terms of the language used in the documents, allowing Capcom to still hold onto the trademark....

For those not in the know, Deep Rock Galactic is a co-operative FPS akin to games like Left 4 Dead or the more recent Back 4 Blood. It centers a dwarven mining company that works in a deadly, alien bug-infested planet called Hoxxes 4, asking players to pick one of four classes and team up with three others to complete a variety of tasks. Thus far its updates have been relatively disconnected, and fans were expecting the same of Update 35....

The footage is part of a Disney+ documentary, Epic Adventures with Bertie Gregory, which premieres on September 8. In the show, Gregory—National Geographic explorer, photographer and cinematographer—travels around the globe to capture wildlife phenomena on camera. In this particular episode, Gregory sets off to the volcanic Cocos Island in Costa Rica in search of a shoal of scalloped hammerhead sharks. Hammerhead sharks are an endangered species. They live in waters worldwide but their decreasing numbers mean it is often difficult to spot them in the wild....

The 14-time Grand Slam winner had withdrawn from the Cincinnati Masters and the Rogers Cup in Toronto in the hope of healing from the injury. The left-hander was practising with a splint on his wrist after sustaining the injury during a training session last month. Last week, Nadal issued a statement saying that he would take a call on his participation over the weekend. He postponed his decision to Monday and eventually announced his absence from the tournament today....

Welcome to the defense debate of the 1990s. The struggle between hawks and doves is history. An entirely different battle lies ahead, pitting proponents of radically new weaponry against defenders of current technology-and the vast industrial complex erected since World War II. Last week Washington was in an uproar over a presidential commission’s recommendation to close 25 military bases and 10 laboratories by 1997 and eliminate 37,000 civilian jobs. That’s just a taste of what’s ahead for private industry-and workers....

After kicking off November with back-to-back defeats against Arsenal and Istanbul Basaksehir, Manchester United went on to record four successive wins in all competitions. The impressive run started with an important 3-1 win at Everton, before victories against West Bromwich Albion, Basaksehir and Southampton followed. However, Manchester United were brought back down to earth on Wednesday, when they suffered a damaging 3-1 loss to PSG in the Champions League. In truth though, it was one of the team’s best games so far this season....

The Clippers visited the Celtics, and I’m pretty sure they got there on Jordan’s back. This guy soars so high. That was cheesy, but when you see this dunk you’ll understand. All Chris Paul has to do is lob the ball somewhere higher than a human being is supposed to be able to jump, and out comes Jordan.
