The 35-year-old Australian held off Ashleigh Buhai of South Africa with a 2-under-par 70 in the final round and won the Thornberry Creek LPGA Classic by one shot in Oneida, Wis. Kirk finished the first-year event at 22-under 266, coming up short of the LPGA 72-hole scoring record of 27 under, but it was enough to edge Buhai, who closed with a 67. The win was the third of Kirk’s career but her first since the 2010 Navistar LPGA Classic, a span of 152 starts....

The two players had to repeat the 18th hole four times before the issue was finally settled in favour of Sharmila at the Rs 6,00,000 event. Sharmila’s card of the day comprised of bogeys on the fourth, eighth, 12th, and 18th holes. She also carded a triple on 16th hole.

People associated with Chelsea will be relieved with their good performance yesterday as their 4-0 defeat against Bournemouth in their previous match was a cause of concern. Higuain had a poor start to his life in England as he failed to register a single shot on target versus Bournemouth but his two goals against Huddersfield will give much-needed confidence to move forward. Meanwhile, Hazard was his usual, brilliant self despite his brace....

As talk of a possible Higuain transfer to Arsenal heats up, I thought it would be worth making a quick comparison between him and the man whose shoes we still look to fill. All stats are courtesy of whoscored.com, who would also like to point out to us that only Ronaldo (146) and Messi (203) have outscored Higuain (107) since he joined La Liga. What emerges is a player who is remarkably efficient and accurate....

Higuain has not played for the Albiceleste since last year’s World Cup in Russia as manager Lionel Scaloni looks to revamp his squad for this year’s Copa America, reported Xinhua news agency. “My cycle with the national team is finished,” the Chelsea player told Argentine television on Thursday. “A lot of people will be happy to know that, others maybe not so much. “I’ve made the decision because I want to enjoy my family....

The “Iron Men – Fashion in Steel” exhibit, which runs through June 26 at the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna, Austria, features 170 artifacts that throw a new light on this complex subject, along with selected paintings, textiles and sculptures. Men liked the exaggerated codpieces because they felt more masculine, brave and virile during public events, such as tournaments, and at court, according to the museum. The museum has assembled codpieces from all over the world — historical Habsburg suits of armor from Austria’s own collections, as well as pieces from London and New York....

You read that right. Instead of the tradition wood or plastic doodads, these implements are in the shape of cadavers, minus the tops of their heads and with footless pointed legs. And as one might expect, they are drawing protest.

But he did. The result, Imperium (331 pages. Knopf. $24), masterfully blends personal travel stories, history and personal observations into what Kapuscinski terms a “literary collage” – a technique that served him so well in previous books such as “The Emperor,” “Shah of Shahs” and “The Soccer War.” He readily concedes he had only “haphazard, superficial” knowledge of the Soviet Union before he undertook this book. But he movingly evokes his memories as a 7-year-old at the outbreak of World War II in 1939, when his hometown of Pinsk shifted from Polish to Soviet control, and its Polish inhabitants experienced the terror of mass deportations....

The Dalles, located in Wasco County, is suffering extreme and exceptional drought, according to the U.S. Drought Monitor, after the region had its hottest days on record last summer, reaching 118 degrees. Dawn Rasmussen, who lives on the outskirts of The Dalles and has seen the water level in her well drop, said during public comments before the vote that she worries Google would have priority above residents if water becomes scarce, because of climate change, and that there won’t be enough for everyone....

Google Chrome is now officially available on Flathub and Flatpak aficionados can now download their favorite browser from their preferred software source. Here’s how to install Google Chrome as a Flatpak on Linux. Install Google Chrome From Flathub To begin, verify if your system has Flatpak installed. Some Linux distros like Fedora Silverblue support Flatpaks out of the box, but there are countless others that still use traditional packaging formats and managers to install software....

Google has previously used this temporary change on its homepage to praise other baseball legends. This list includes Roberto Clemente on October 12, 2018 and Jackie Robinson on what would have been his 94th birthday, January 31, 2013. Stone, who was born Marcenia Lyle Stone, was the first woman to feature regularly for an American big-league professional baseball team, doing so for the Indianapolis Clowns. Battling sexism and racism, Stone was able to carve her name in history and has long been praised for her contribution to the game of baseball....

The Mini features less audio muscle-power than the full Home, but all the Google Assistant features we know and love, including recent additions such as Bluetooth audio, and support for multiple user accounts and Spotify Free. Sadly, one of its key features has just been removed ahead of release: the ability to wake the Google Assistant by touching the top of the device. This is due to a malfunction with the sensor which has – in a small number of devices – led the Google Assistant to wake and start listening in on conversations when it was not supposed to....

Android 12 brings a whole new design language (at least for Pixel phones…), key new privacy features, and a host of other smaller changes that will arrive officially this autumn. In the meantime the first public beta is here though, and Toddy is already on it. Meanwhile Wear OS is no more – meet Wear. Google has rebranded its wearable operating system yet again, but there’s bigger news: it’s working with Samsung to build the new software, and has confirmed that there are Fitbits on the way that will run on Wear too....

Well, the keynote is wrapped, so it’s time to talk about the slew of announcements made. Google Pixel 3A and Pixel 3A XL Are Very Much Real Long before Google I/O, 2019, there were rumors about Pixel 3A and after the event, they all turned out to be true. Google has launched Pixel 3A and 3A XL with headphone jacks at a cheaper price. The price starts at $399. The reason behind launching a cheaper model is that Google wants to bring helpful smartphone experience to more people....

In a blog post, Google outlined the main features of incognito mode for Maps, stating: “Incognito mode on iOS works the same way it does on Android. While in Incognito mode, the places you search for or navigate to won’t be saved to your Google Account and you won’t see personalized features within Maps, like restaurant recommendations based on dining spots you’ve been to previously. Using Incognito mode on your phone will not update your Location History, so the places you go won’t be saved to your Timeline....

The new update to Google Meet is intended to make it easier for you to identify and deal with the source of echoing audio if Meet is unable to automatically prevent it. In the event that Google Meet’s own audio control functions aren’t up to the task, it will notify the culprit directly. Echos during video calls are usually caused by your device’s speakers projecting audio loud enough for your microphone to catch it....

The 16 GB and 32 GB model with no facility of microSD card slot and rear camera make Nexus 7 a less desirable for those who look for higher storage and capacity. But seeing its price, Nexus 7 is quite a cheaper deal in the market when compared with its other rivals. The new Microsoft surface pro 2 tablet runs on current Windows 8 desktop applications and integrates with the existing enterprise management infrastructure....
