Indian women’s team captain Ritu Rani on Tuesday said that her squad drew a lot of positives from the recently concluded Hawke’s Bay Cup and are already looking forward to the Hockey World League Semi-final slated in June. India finished seventh out of eight teams in Hastings, New Zealand. Though the team did not live up to its potential, they delivered some notable performances. They held World No.2 Australia to a 0-0 draw and also managed to beat higher seeded Japan 3-2 in the 7-8th position match....

I am talking about a defeat that will eliminate our freedom and permanently subordinate America to Communist China and its demands for absolute control and obedience. You may think this vision is alarmist, but look at the Chinese Communist Party’s control of Hong Kong, its abuses in Tibet and the Uyghur genocide in Xinjiang. For that matter, look at the giant, wealthy American companies that already kowtow to the Chinese Communist Party’s demands and adjust their language and behaviors to placate Beijing....

The joy ride, though, may soon be over. This week and next, critical contract talks open between the UAW and General Motors, Ford Motor Co. and Chrysler. And before the current contract expires on Sept. 15, America’s ailing automakers are intent on finding an Rx for the industry’s health-care burden, which they say adds $1,500 to the cost of every car it builds. That’s more than the cost of steel ($600) in each model....

Steve Smith, David Warner and Cameron Bancroft were all suspended by Cricket Australia after the trio were found guilty of concocting a plot to illegally change the condition of the ball on day three of the Newlands Test last week. The scandal has rocked the cricketing world and has overshadowed the four-match series, which South Africa lead 2-1 ahead of the final match at the Wanderers, beginning on Friday....

The 2012 victor Radwanska, who is ranked 31st having once been as high as world number two, fell to a 7-5 6-4 defeat to Daria Kasatkina in a match in which holding serve proved tricky. In total, there were 12 breaks with Kasatkina able to hold her nerve in the crucial moments, converting seven of 13 opportunities that were presented. “Everybody knows that Aga is a tricky player. She can play an unbelievable winner from any part of the court, it doesn’t matter where,” Kasatkina said....

And then there’s Ryan Getzlaf. On Friday’s Pacific Division video conference call, the Anaheim Ducks captain showed off his most recent accomplishment — a chicken coop. “I spent the last three days building a chicken coop in the backyard,” the 15-year NHL veteran said with a smile. “The wife wanted the other day and we had no eggs, so we borrowed eggs from a neighbor that had chickens and then all of a sudden we were having them....

Understandably, Raditz has been weak in past DBZ games as fighting games often have to focus more on balance than Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot. Developer CyberConnect2 introduced a concept roughly described as “uphill battles,” which are meant to simulate how the battles went down in the anime. As such, Raditz actually poses a threat, so players may struggle with defeating him more than they initially think. The first battle, which sees Goku and Piccolo go against Raditz, is relatively simple, but his methods change as players enter the full Goku vs....

The game is a turn-based JRPG, following in its footsteps of its predecessors, the first of which is often credited as the very first JRPG ever made. Dragon Quest 3 introduced a day and night cycle while also being the most open and non-linear of the original NES Dragon Quest titles....

World Cup-winner Mbappe has established himself as one of the world’s finest young footballers during the past three seasons with PSG and Monaco. The 19-year-old has already scored four goals in just three Ligue 1 appearances in 2018-19, having formed a formidable attacking partnership with Edinson Cavani and Neymar. And Draxler says the teenager and Brazil star Neymar are the best two players he has played with in his career....

Green, appearing on TNT’s “Players Only” version of “Inside the NBA,” was asked by Thomas why the Dubs were “scared” to play the Spurs in San Antonio on Saturday when they rested Green, Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson and Andre Iguodala. MORE: Iguodala fined $10K for remarks “Why’d y’all forfeit the game?” Zeke asked as he needled Green (per the Mercury News). Green, with a smile and a chuckle, of course said he’s never been scared of anything and was confident the Dubs’ subs could beat the Spurs’ subs once it was known San Antonio would be without Kawhi Leonard, LaMarcus Aldridge and Tony Parker....

Dream’s newest video, published this past week, is named “Minecraft Speedrunner VS 5 Hunters” and is the latest in his ultra-popular series of Dream vs. Hunters videos.

RB Leipzig is not exactly the most popular team in Germany with many supporters of rival teams believing the Red Bull-founded club has bent rules on fan ownership. And the Dresden fans made their disdain known by throwing a bloodied bull’s head towards the pitch, showcasing several offensive banners and launching coins at Leipzig’s Dominik Kaiser. The DFB disciplinary committee has now ruled on the incidents and fined Dresden as well as ordering a partial stadium closure for their upcoming league game against Greuther Furth on Nov....

Debris from a trailer, being towed by a pickup truck in front of her car, flew through the windshield, hitting her in the head. She later died at an area hospital. The Southfield Police Department was called to the area of 9 Mile at around 12:15 p.m after a report of an injury accident. After a preliminary investigation police believe scrap metal became dislodged from the trailer at some point and the debris flew into the woman’s car....

The game demos of Beware take place in a non-specific, sparsely populated location, with dense fog and trees obscuring the field of view and contributing to an overall sense of foreboding. In the dark of night, the player is driving for an undisclosed reason on rain-slicked backroads and, so far at least, the protagonist never leaves the car. Occasional landmarks provide a touch of familiarity as a second vehicle relentlessly chases the player for an unknown reason....

Yes, I am talking about Virat Kohli. Ever since he made his international debut, there has been no looking back. Kohli has progressed remarkably well and has shattered several batting records in just over a decade’s time. But there has to be a black spot in every individual’s career. And for Kohli, that came at a time when he took over the Test captaincy from the legendary Mahendra Singh Dhoni....

This week, the Russian president announced a partial mobilization where reservists would be called to active duty to prop up Russia’s faltering invasion of Ukraine. One video that has been shared widely shows a drunken man staggering on the tarmac of an airport before he goes on what is believed to be a mobilization flight. “A group of not-necessarily-sober Russian conscripts on the territory of the Dolinsk-Sokol air base located in Sakhalin Oblast, Russian Far East,” tweeted the account of Status-6, which covers armed conflicts....
