J.T Miller and Nikita Kucherov scored in the shootout and the Tampa Bay Lightning beat the Panthers 2-1 in the regular-season opener for both teams Saturday night. Luongo departed midway through the second period with a lower-body injury after teammate Frank Vatrano landed on his extended right leg during a scramble in front of the goal. The 39-year-old Luongo, who stopped all 13 shots he faced in just over 32 minutes, needed help to skate off the ice....

Originally released exclusively in Japan for the PS3 and PS4 in 2014, Like a Dragon: Ishin aims to retain the feel of modern games in the series while offering players new combat styles to better suit the time period of the game. As a ronin—a masterless samurai—Ryoma is able to fight using a sword, a gun, a combination of the two, and his fists to battle foes and work his way up the ladder of the Shinsengumi....

The Real Madrid star posted a video on Instagram of his seven-year-old son Cristiano Jr. scoring a free-kick stunner, much like his father has done so many times in the past. The younger Ronaldo emulates his father’s trademark backwards walk and free-kick stance, before placing the dead ball beyond the goalkeeper and into the back of the net. Ronaldo posted the footage of his son’s latest exploits with the caption: “Nothing is coincidence....

The USMNT started its youngest lineup, ever, in this World Cup qualifier in Columbus, Ohio, a decision made because the “kids” are just that good — but also because their elders simply aren’t. This is having an impact on the attempt to reach Qatar 2022 that is being too casually dismissed by many of the team’s supporters. MORE: USMNT earns big World Cup qualifying win after early scare The 2-1 victory over Costa Rica was needlessly harrowing because this team — whose players average 22 years, 199 days old — played, at times, like children....

The Warriors rallied and held off being eliminated by the Toronto Raptors in Game 5 of the NBA Finals, but Durant’s injury has been the big headline. Durant underwent surgery, with many players around the league sending their well wishes. Despite being on the opposing Finals team, Raptors star Leonard offered Durant some advice on how to come back from such a huge injury. “We work so hard to get to this point and the game gets taken away from you, especially with leg injuries and things like that,” Leonard told a news conference on Wednesday....

The Raptors completed a 4-2 series win in the NBA Finals courtesy of a 114-110 victory at Oracle Arena. Leonard became just the third player to win the Finals MVP with two different teams, joining Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and LeBron James, having also claimed the prize with the San Antonio Spurs in 2014. After playing just nine games with the Spurs last season due to a quad injury before being traded to the Raptors in July 2018, Leonard reflected on a difficult period....

Social media users accused DiCaprio of hypocrisy, pointing out his use of private jets and yachts—similar to the recent criticism lobbied at Prince Harry and his wife Meghan Markle. DiCaprio, 44, took the stage at Global Citizen in New York’s Central Park on Saturday to praise the efforts of 16-year-old climate change activist Greta Thunberg and the millions of young protesters who took part in climate strikes around the world earlier in September....

But I’m going to leave the commentary on all that to others for the time being. Going to do something a little different in this week’s column. A tribute of sorts. Last Wednesday—January 20—marked the 15th anniversary of jury selection in the 2006 trial of former Enron chairman Kenneth Lay and ex-CEO Jeffrey Skilling. The two men, at the end of the 56-day trial, were convicted on multiple counts of fraud, conspiracy and bank fraud as a result of the collapse of Enron....

Across the business landscape, organizations continue to pay the price for depending too heavily on a range of antiquated systems, whether it’s an old enterprise resource planning (ERP) software product, an outmoded customer relationship management (CRM) system, an archaic accounting software or some other legacy solution. Ultimately, these dependencies cause more business problems than they solve. In this era of remote working, digital customer journeys and cloud-based apps, the risks of sticking too long with outdated network communications software and systems are especially pronounced....

Saturday’s storm caused by Hurricane Matthew’s backwash left only mud and puddles. But for racing, the biggest impact was a green racetrack. So, NASCAR ordered a competition caution after 25 laps in Sunday’s Bank of America 500. MORE: Starting lineup | 10 to watch | Ranking the Chase drivers Green flag was scheduled to fall at 12:05 p.m. ET, when Kevin Harvick leads the field into the first of 334 laps....

The appropriately-named Apple Music Sing has everything you want in a karaoke app. There are animated lyrics that dance to the song’s rhythm, with independent animations for background vocals. You can also adjust the original vocals to suit your tastes, including turning them off entirely for an old-school experience. There’s even a “duet view” that splits the lyrics to opposite sides of the screen to make multi-singer tracks more approachable; finally, you can perform Islands in the Stream with that special someone or whoever happens to be hanging around after a few glasses of wine....

When Siloing Hurts and When It Helps In a typical business, you go through four stages — startup, growth, maturity and renewal/rebirth. In the initial stages, when you’re just getting off the ground, everybody is still getting to know each other. There’s a considerable need for everyone on the team to tap their expertise as efficiently and effectively as possible. Without silos, people can be unsure of their responsibilities or how they fit into the business....

En concreto, se trata del LG UltraGear 32GQ850 y del UltraGear 32GQ950, unos monitores que destacan por utilizar paneles NanoIPS los cuales pueden garantizar tiempos de respuesta de tan solo 1 milisegundo, además de tener un contraste de al menos 1000:1. Las frecuencias de actualización varían según el modelo, siendo de 240 Hz en el caso del 32GZ850 y de 144 Hz en el otro modelo. No obstante, el UltraGear 32GQ950 ofrece soporte de resolución 4K UHD y tiene la certificación VESA Display HDR1000 para representar colores más vivos....

The HTC One seems to have met its match with the Google and LG offerinG, Nexus 5. Both devices have some pretty impressive features despite the big gap in the release dates. Take a quick look: Design: The HTC One has a metal exterior with two speakers at the bottom and the top of the phone. This makes the experience more enjoyable when you flip your phone horizontally when viewing images on full screen....

The new LG monitor is certainly not the first OLED monitor. LG itself offers a line of 27" and 32" UltraFine OLED displays, offering 4K resolution and 60Hz refresh rate for around $3,000 and $4,000 respectively. More widely available are TV-sized screens being advertised as PC gaming monitors, like Dell’s Alienware 55" 4K 120Hz OLED, LG’s popular 42" and 4K C2 TV, or the larger Sony A95. Curved OLED monitors have also found a niche, given their already lofty prices, as have smaller portable OLED monitors....

Barely a week has passed since the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup final in Melbourne, the Englishmen had hardly recovered from the victory hangover and international matches are about to start again. India is touring New Zealand for a T20 and ODI series while the newly crowned T20 World Champions stay back Down Under for an ODI series against Australia. Well, the ODI series can still be digested with the 50-overs men’s World Cup scheduled for next year....

“War and Peace.” King Vidor’s version is the most beautiful and concise adaptation of this impossibly huge book. “Seven Samurai.” Akira Kurosawa’s great Western is maybe the best of all the “war guilt” movies. “I Vitelloni.” Fellini’s bachelor comedy. It makes me laugh in different places every time. “Notorious.” In my book, Hitchcock’s romance is one of the sexiest films ever. What classic film are your embarrassed you’ve never seen?...

We Are OFK particularly shows the impact of Life is Strange on the game industry and the adventure genre. It seems that We Are OFK uses a structure very similar to the Life is Strange series while exploring themes similar to the kinds of themes that lie at the heart of Life is Strange games. In spite of its similarities, though, We Are OFK already sets itself apart thanks to its intention to explore the music industry, introducing plentiful new ideas to the Life is Strange structure....

Remember that Life is Strange gives the player unlimited rewind power, so any mistakes can be quickly fixed. There are two options for hiding from the security guards here, and the choice has no impact on the narrative. Here’s how to avoid getting caught. The Toilet Stalls The easiest of the two options is hiding in the toilet stalls. From the locker room where the player starts, go right ahead and through the open door to the right....

Kyrgios walked onto the court wearing a No. 8 Lakers jersey that Bryant made famous at the start of his two-decade career with the franchise. Bryant, 41, and his 13-year-old daughter Gianna died in a helicopter crash in Calabasas, California on Sunday. Taking to Rod Laver Arena the following day, an emotional Kyrgios succumbed to a 6-3, 3-6, 7-6 (8-6), 7-6 (7-4) loss against the world No. 1, but revealed Bryant’s passing had been on his mind....
