The Lions’ batting line up was ripped apart in both innings, especially the top order. That doesn’t mean this side is not talented, of course they are. They also have a nice balance of young and experienced players. Then what’s the problem? Is the absence of stalwarts like Jonathan Trott and Kevin Pietersen hurting them that much? Trotty has had his say but is KP eligible for this team?...

Dogs often bark to warn of potential danger or to express their territory. If your dog hears or smells something out of the ordinary, they might bark for either of those reasons.

This statement set me on a path down memory lane, right from when Thiem first caught my eye, to the present. And the more I reflected on his journey, the more impressive it seemed. For his wasn’t the journey of one of those greats who tasted glory very early. Instead, his journey was one consisting of taking two steps forward, then one step back – something we mere mortals can relate to and take inspiration from....

New Microsoft software will soon be able to clone anyone’s voice by just listening to a three-second audio example. Experts say the technology raises a host of security and privacy issues. “Artificial intelligence in the hands of adversaries has the potential to amp up social engineering exponentially, which is currently one of the most successful scamming tactics available,” Zane Bond, the head of product at the cybersecurity company Keeper Security, told Lifewire in an email interview....

It’s understandable when a player shows belongingness to his teammates, but when those sitting in the stands exude the same belongingness, then it calls for an analysis and a string of questions. Why do people follow sports so ardently? What leads to such a loyal or even fanatic behavior? Why do people paint their faces and obsess over statistics, even when there is a possibility that their team might lose?...

Coined in 2007 by eBay, Green Monday is the second Monday in December, when many retailers offer final discounts and deals for last-minute shoppers. This year, Green Monday falls on December 14, but that doesn’t mean you should wait until that day to shop. “It’s unclear whether or not that will still be a ’last day’ for some people since we’ll see some variance between retailers this year,” Katherine Cullen, the senior director of industry and consumer insights at the National Retail Federation (NRF), told Lifewire in a phone interview....

It was the last game out of three titles, which meant that Rockstar Games already knew what did and didn’t work in the previous titles. Naturally, that meant GTA San Andreas doesn’t have some problematic flaws that make the last two games feel archaic. It doesn’t just fix some of the problems from those two titles, either. GTA San Andreas also introduces many new features that make the game stand out on its own two feet....

Neither game is perfect, but they are timeless classics that have endless replayability. The most noteworthy drawback of both games is their outdated graphics, but everything else is passable to outright excellence. These two games just won’t be fondly remembered for being excellent GTA games, but they’ll be etched into the fabric of video game history for years to come. As it is with all forms of entertainment, one’s enjoyment of these two video games is subjective....

As such, it was presumed that San Francisco would trade Garoppolo to a quarterback-needy team before or in the early stages of free agency. The 49ers were just waiting for a few other dominos — notably Aaron Rodgers, Russell Wilson and Deshaun Watson — to fall. However, Garoppolo has remained on the 49ers’ roster throughout the first and second waves of free agency. It’s unclear when the team may officially move on from him and what may be his potential landing spots at this point....
