After battling it out for nearly three hours with Jack Sock in the semifinals, Yuki Bhambri emerged onto courts just within a few hours to face Yen Hsun Lu in the finals of the $125,000 OEC Kaohsiung Challenger tournament. It was his second ever and the biggest ever final of his fledgling career. Unfortunately, Bhambri lost the match 4-6 3-6 in 66 minutes.

The wreck of the SS Mesaba, a merchant vessel that sent a wireless radio message to the Titanic as it crossed the Atlantic, was identified by researchers at Bangor University in Wales using multibeam sonar. Although the Titanic did receive the Mesaba’s message, the warning never reached the captain on the bridge and, in the early hours of April 15, the “unsinkable” liner hit an iceberg and sank. The Mesaba was sunk six years later in the Irish Sea....
Cross-play functionality has become a common phenomenon in modern video games. Yet Rockstar Games hasn’t implemented this feature in any of its titles. It is surprising considering that most popular video games already have this feature. Minecraft, Rocket League, and War Thunder have all made cross-platform play available for their respective games. GTA 6: Should Rockstar implement cross-platform play in their next title? What is cross-platform play? A game that supports cross-play functionality can be played across different platforms....

There are no feature changes, just bug fixes and improvements. Though if you originally installed the beta version you may not receive the update until you remove the beta profile from Settings > General > Profiles.

While the sale of non-fungible tokens (NFTs) ebbed and flowed, surging in 2021 and stabilizing in 2022 and then falling in the past month, many companies value them not as investments but as marketing tools. Take Gary Vaynerchuk, who used the tokens as both entry tickets and a stream of benefits to attendees of his VeeCon 2022 in Minneapolis. Holders of a VeeFriends series 1 NFT not only used it to get in the front door but were also awarded original artwork, access to Gary Vaynerchuk, and surprise gifts....
Argentina have arguably never been weaker since Nigeria debuted on the global stage, but that is not to say it will be a stroll. Croatia surgically took them apart on Wednesday, deepening a sense of crisis within their ranks, but success is at the intersection of preparation and opportunity. The opportunity is certainly there, though. To take advantage requires a careful balance: just enough confidence to get over the mental hump of losing four times to the South Americans, but not so much as to come in lax....
While it is nice to specialize in mobility in the barren countryside, it’s too small of a niche compared to what other vehicles can offer to a GTA Online player. For example, a helicopter or a plane can travel through Blaine County a lot faster than an off-road vehicle. Off-road vehicles are fun to mess around with, but they’re simply not the practical choice of vehicle in most situations. Something like the Insurgent or Nightshark is an outlier in terms of usefulness, as these are armored weaponized vehicles....
Eight people were killed in shootings at three massage parlors in the Atlanta area on Tuesday.

So, should you purchase a TV warranty? What Does an Extended TV Warranty Cover? Extended warranties generally provide benefits like preventative maintenance, free replacement, no- or low-cost repairs, and power-surge protection. Many such policies even offer in-home service and pickup for defective products, so you don’t have to haul your large, heavy TV back to the store. A worthwhile plan should act like a bumper-to-bumper warranty for your car. It should cover the picture screen (burn-in), buttons, inputs, outputs, internal components, TV stand, IR sensor for the remote control, on-board circuitry/software, and more....
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends getting the flu shot and COVID-19 booster in different arms. In a press briefing, Ashish Jha, MD, MPH, the White House’s coronavirus response coordinator, said getting both vaccines at the same time may cause a similar or slightly higher incidence of side effects, but they tend to be mild. However, individuals react to vaccines differently, so it’s hard to determine exactly how the placement will influence side effects....

Vampire in the Garden released quietly on Netflix on May 16th with only five episodes. Uniquely, this anime is not based on a manga, or previously existing IP and therefore has led to quite some speculation about whether that was a good idea. Although its trending status on Netflix may imply that it wasn’t all bad. Fundamentally Vampire in the Garden is a blend of a love story and coming of age....
Whereas in Majora’s Mask the Hero of Time falls through a magic portal into Termina, and in Phantom Hourglass the Hero of Winds is knocked overboard while investigating a Ghost Ship, Breath of the Wild 2 is setting up an adventure in which Link and Zelda investigate the mysteries of Hyrule together after the first game. The original E3 2019 trailer even shows Link wielding the Master Sword as they find a magic-bound figure underground, suggesting what was originally a side quest is now canon....
Shovel Knight is a 2D side-scrolling platforming game. The game is well known for its art direction, featuring a beautiful 8-bit animation style, which has been compared favorably to games from the NES era.

Back in 1998 gambling mogul and art collector Steve Wynn opened the Bellagio Gallery of Fine Art in his new casino of the same name. He stocked it with Renoirs, Matisses and Picassos largely from his private holdings (with the works technically for sale, for tax reasons) and charged $12 admission. An astonishing 1 million viewers paid to get in during the first year, an attendance figure only a few major art museums, like Boston’s, can match....
They may never get to Moscow, but “Three Sisters” can still show audiences a good night out–at least the way Dominic Dromgoole directs them in their current London production. In Samuel Adamson’s vivid, idiomatic adaptation, Masha is a gutsy malcontent who stomps around saying things like “bloody hell!” then grabs at love with both fists. De La Guarda, on this summer in London, is not your father’s circus, or your mother’s theater....
If the patriotism at the opening ceremonies was sharper than at other Games, if the tears at the appearance of the American flag flowed more freely and if the tension between celebrating the internationalism of the Olympics and holding a Patriot Games was unusually great–well, these are unusual times. Nowhere was that clearer than as the opening ceremonies drew to a fireworks-filled close. To light the Olympic torch, the host country always chooses one of its own cherished Olympians from Games past....
