Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazlewood are set to form a formidable pace attack when Australia attempt to wrestle the urn back off their fierce rivals. The tourists have been warned to expect a barrage of short stuff when the five-match series starts at the Gabba on Thursday. All three have been troubled by injuries during their careers and Hollioake wants to see their fitness put to the test with long spells in the field, with Alastair Cook and Joe Root setting the tone....

The original Hollow Knight was met with massive amounts of success back when it first launched, not to mention how popular the game still is within the gaming community. Back in August, Hollow Knight broke its most concurrent players record a full four years after the game’s initial release. Very few indie games have managed to maintain that much longevity in terms of relevance, to the point where even Hollow Knight’s unreleased sequel has managed to influence players in the present day....

What the studios aren’t saying is that in the second weekend, most of these “record-setters” dropped like ImClone stock. Traditionally, a movie’s falloff during the second weekend has been the measure of its staying power, or “legs.” Any movie that fell more than 50 percent the second weekend was deemed a flop. (“Titanic,” the highest-grossing film ever, actually rose 24 percent its second weekend.) Yet this summer’s “Austin Powers” collapsed 57 percent, “Men in Black II” 53 percent and “Scooby-Doo” 55 percent, and all are blockbuster hits....

It’s available in 50-, 55- (tested) and 65in sizes, so could this be your first Hisense TV? Design & Build With its slim bezel and everyday style, the set looks anonymous but there’s still some nice detailing, like the chamfered edge that runs across the bottom of the screen. The set weighs in at 14.7kg (without the stand) and comes with a wide wire frame-style pedestal, so you’ll need some matching AV furniture to accommodate it....

The son of physicist Freeman Dyson and brother of computer cognoscente Esther Dyson, Dyson is better known as an expert in building and studying baidarkas, kayaks built by the Aleut Indians in the 18th century. He approached his new subject area with some hesitation, he says. Yet there’s no trace of trepidation in Dyson’s authoritative writing style. The final irony: it took someone from outside the discipline to advance our understanding of the ongoing dance of life, evolution and machines....

Recently, it was discovered that Hitman 3 is also aiming to be more optimized than its predecessors, meaning it won’t take up as much storage space, and now the developers have announced a minor, but otherwise welcome, new feature for the game called the persistent shortcuts system. RELATED: Hitman 3 Reveals Opening Cinematic Video It was confirmed as part of a Game Informer exclusive and was accompanied by a short piece of new footage showing the feature in action....

Truvada (emtricitabine + tenofovir disoproxil fumarate) is a daily pill approved for those at risk for HIV through sex or injection drug use. Descovy (emtricitabine + tenofovir alafenamide) is a daily pill approved for sexually active men and transgender women at risk for HIV. Apretude (cabotegravir extended-release injectable suspension), which is approved for at-risk adults and teens, is an injectable given every two months. PrEP is not intended for everyone but is rather used in people who are at high risk of HIV infection....

We’ve tested many of the new systems in our best smart heating systems roundup. Smart thermostats are the biggest development in heating technology in three decades.

Hong Kong Islanders won the first game between the two teams. They scored 399 runs in 50 overs. In response, the Lions gave a valiant chase but fell short by 11 runs. In the second match, Kowloon Lions batted first and posted 270/9 after 50 overs, with captain Aizaz Khan (95) and Nizakat Khan (72) playing crucial knocks. In response, Hong Kong Islanders were bowled out for a paltry 192....

Earlier, the DCW had sent a lengthy 24-page notice to Hockey India asking what action does the hockey body plan to take against the team’s skipper in the wake of the complaint made by the woman who happens to be a British national. Hockey India has hit back with the notice and has even hinted at a political conspiracy. The premier body for the game in the country has pointed out that the complaint has been filed at a belated stage by the victim....

While it may be too early to reach any definitive conclusions, if past history and the first two matches are anything to go by, Argentina seems to be finding their way back after a lacklustre year with the promise of a lot of more to come. Spain may have stretched Argentina in their opener, and very nearly gave the Olympic champions a scare but the manner in which German Orozco’s side played New Zealand out of the match without breaking into a sweat speaks volumes about the quality of the South Americans....

Nicknamed “Terrible Ted,” he spent 17 years terrorizing goaltenders and opponents alike, netting 851 points (379 goals, 472 assists) in 1,068 career games with Detroit and Chicago Blackhawks, while racking up 1,808 penalty minutes. Lindsay could have also been called “Gentleman Ted.” A revolutionary for the sport, he helped found the NHL’s Players Association and bypassed his own Hall of Fame induction because his wife and family were not invited to the event....

People thought Tate deserved another crack since she gave Rousey the two toughest fights of her career. They also believed Holm didn’t deserve the opportunity because of only having two fights in the UFC and feeling she didn’t look impressive in those bouts.

Happy birthday dear Luke Shaw. Manchester United’s left-back was the centre of attention in Los Angeles on Wednesday. Shaw celebrated his 22nd birthday in Hollywood and fans in the United States did not forget the occasion. The England international – recovering from ankle ligament damage suffered in April – is with United in LA gearing up for the 2017-18 Premier League season. A post shared by Manchester United (@manchesterunited) on Jul 12, 2017 at 5:24pm PDT...

What saved De Luca is that, at the box office at least, the roller coaster has largely been a thrill ride. Hollywood studios always grouse about inflated star salaries and out-of-control directors–and still line up to pay them. De Luca, meanwhile, has built New Line’s reputation by taking chances on no-names and first-timers. He’s the Loehmann’s shopper in a town addicted to buying retail at Barneys, picking up cast-off projects and turning them into low-budget Gen-X and -Y smashes: “The Mask,” “The Wedding Singer,” “Rush Hour,” “Boogie Nights,” “Austin Powers....

No, we’re not about to experience a real-life version of “Seven Days in May,” the 1964 John Frankenheimer thriller about a military coup in Washington. Still, it was a little startling to hear a high-profile general as fresh from the front lines of Iraq as John Batiste—only two years ago, he was seen as one of the Army’s rising stars—effectively branding his commander in chief, George W. Bush, a liar this week....

But that doesn’t mean he doesn’t know about that day. Most people who grew up fans of racing do. The video of President Ronald Reagan’s plane landing on the backstretch as the race was being run. And a post-race interview with the winner and president, followed by the teams having a chicken dinner with the nation’s leader. Of course, no one knew at the time that it would be Petty’s last win of a glorious seven-championship, Hall of Fame career that lasted until 1992....

Victory for Jurgen Klopp’s side would take them 10 points clear of champions City at the summit and in prime position to claim their 19th top-flight title. The most recent of those arrived in 1989-90, with their most recent near-miss coming as runners up in 2013-14. City triumphed that season and have won three of the previous seven Premier Leagues under the ownership and vast financial muscle of Sheikh Mansour....

Most people associate hashtags with social media. These cyber appendages that internet users tack on to keywords are here to stay—at least into the foreseeable future. Hashtag History Metadata tags have been around for quite some time. Tags were first used in 1988 on a platform known as Internet Relay Chat or IRC to group messages, images, content, and video into categories. The purpose is so users can search for hashtags and find content associated with them....
