Robinson traveled to Mexico with six university friends—four women and two men—on October 28, according to what her father Bernard Robinson told the New York Times. One day later, she was found unconscious in the living room of a house in San José del Cabo, a resort city on the southern tip of Mexico’s Baja California peninsula, where she died. What her parents initially learned is that Robinson died of alcohol poisoning after a night of heavy drinking....

The 30-year-old Russian, playing her third tournament back after a 15-month doping ban, was leading 2-1 in the deciding set but was unable to continue after apparently injuring her left thigh which was heavily strapped. It completed a miserable evening for the five-times grand slam champion, currently ranked 211, who earlier found out that she had been refused a wildcard for the French Open. The French Tennis Federation decided against awarding the former world number one even a place in the qualifying event – a move that surprised many....

The five-time grand slam champion needed only an hour and four minutes to wrap up a 6-3 6-1 victory on Friday. Sharapova will play defending champion Peng Shuai in her first semi-final since reaching the last four in Stuttgart on her comeback from a 15-month suspension six months ago. The unseeded Russian has not dropped a set this week and recovered from an uncertain start to see off Voegele, who took advantage of three unforced errors and a double fault to break in the first game of the match but that was as good as it got for the qualifier....

A life story is a brief summary of a person’s course over their life, significant people, events and characteristics. It provides history and an understanding of who the person is, especially when Alzheimer’s or another dementia robs them of the ability and words to express this....

The 2017 Masters champion was one of the first golfers to defect from the PGA Tour and ink a deal with the Saudi-backed LIV Golf series. After participating in last week’s Open Championship, Garcia laid out his intentions to resign from the DP World Tour. That would mean giving up his Ryder Cup eligibility. It seems, though, that the Spaniard had a change of heart. On Monday, Garcia announced that he was going to stay on the DP World Tour…for now....

Desire Arousal Ejaculation Orgasm These sexual problems are most associated with the use of two drug classes—selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) and serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRI)—used to treat depression and other mood disorders. Very early on in the development of SSRIs, it was discovered that these medications can cause difficulties with ejaculation. In fact, these medications are actually sometimes prescribed for men who have problems with premature ejaculation. Why can antidepressants have such profound effects on sexual health, particularly for men?...

The latest episode of the Monday Night Show opened with Rollins celebrating his win over The Original Bro at Clash at the Castle 2022. He also clarified that he wouldn’t grant Riddle a rematch despite the latter’s demands. This led to the former United States Champion coming out and brawling with Seth Rollins. Things became interesting after The Visionary escaped, with Judgment Day offering Matt Riddle a place in the stable, which he flatly refused....

Apart from the players, video analyst Amrutaprakash and scientific advisor Wayne Lombard have also contracted the virus. The Sjoerd Marijne-coached side, who have already qualified for the Tokyo Olympics back in 2019, have restarted their international competitions post COVID-19 lockdown with two exposure trips to Argentina and Germany this year. COVID puts a dent in India’s Tokyo 2021 preparations Unlike their male counterparts, the women have endured a tough time on both their exposure tours, failing to pocket a single win....

The Patriots’ run has been impressive in different ways, but in 2019, it’s the defense that continues to dominate opponents.

World of Warcraft engineer Valentine Powell has been collecting a list of statements of support on Twitter. Curiously, both PlayStation and Xbox have approached the subject in different manners. 10 individual PlayStation studios, including Naughty Dog, PlayStation London, Guerrilla Games, Sucker Punch, Santa Monica Studio, Media Molecule, Insomniac, Bend Studio, and Bungie, all issued their own statements. However, PlayStation itself has not. Meanwhile, both the main Xbox and Bethesda accounts have tweeted statements, while studios beneath them have largely either stayed silent or retweeted their parent....

The secondary continental competition had become almost private property of the club under Unai Emery, who lifted the title three seasons running. Sevilla seal last-16 berth But there will be no repeat in 2016-17, as the side now coached by Jorge Sampaoli prepare to gun for the big prize once the Champions League reconvenes in February. Sampaoli’s men could still have entered the Europa League going into the final game of Group H, as a win for Lyon would have pushed them down to third....

Sevilla winger Ocampos netted his 15th goal of the season in Monday’s 1-0 win at home to struggling Eibar. After giving Sevilla a 56th-minute lead, Ocampos replaced injured goalkeeper Tomas Vaclick in the final minute of stoppage time as Julen Lopetegui’s side had already made all five substitutions. Ocampos put on the gloves and was forced to produce a last-gasp save, denying Eibar goalkeeper Marko Dmitrovic from close range to ensure Sevilla claimed maximum points....

The Seville derby is not just about the 90 minutes out on the turf. It is a duel that lasts all season. As soon as the fixtures come out in July, the two sets of fans take note of the dates and the city awaits the matchdays as the biggest sporting occasions of the year. Very few matches in the world divide a city the way this derby does. The fourth most populous city in Spain lives and breathes it like no other....

Bluepoint Games has posted several job listings that confirm that the developer is set to remake yet another classic game. A listing for a senior graphics engineer explains that Bluepoint is seeking someone that has “brilliant programming talents [that are] too big for a narrow box in corporate game development” and is “inspired by solving hard problems using any means necessary.” The hired candidate will be “developing AAA titles for latest-gen home consoles” and Bluepoint Games also confirms that it is currently “remaking a classic for current-gen game systems....

This was confirmed by Square Enix earlier today, when it confirmed that Shadow of the Tomb Raider will launch across all platforms simultaneously on September 14. However, even though Shadow of the Tomb Raider isn’t going to be a timed-exclusive for Xbox One, the Xbox family may see some added benefits that won’t be available for the PlayStation 4 version of the game. This is just speculation at this time, but it’s worth pointing out that Square Enix has mentioned the Xbox One X as a platform for Shadow of the Tomb Raider, but not the PS4 Pro....

I’m in the middle of researching a novel about terror in the American heartland, but the story of Gilbert Twigg got me thinking about the cost of being an occupying nation. Here’s the tale. One fine summer evening just 100 years ago, Gilbert Twigg “deliberately fired into the crowd of promenading people, at Ninth Avenue and Main Street, as Camon’s Band was in the midst of its regular weekly concert....

So Al-Tamimi, 52, stood his ground in the 100-plus heat. A senior U.S. officer was called, rules were bent and finally the un-frisked mayor of Baghdad proceeded to his meeting with L. Paul “Jerry” Bremer, the outgoing American pro-consul. Patient, persistent, exacting and precise, Al-Tamimi has all the virtues of an accomplished technocrat. And he ought to. He learned the ropes in the toughest, most elite Iraqi bureaucracy of all–the nuclear program....
