With the Lindner Family Tennis Center forming the venue, the Cincinnati Masters acts as a warm-up event before the final Grand Slam of the season ensues in Flushing Meadows, New York in the late half of August. In the 2019 edition of the third-last Masters event of the year, Andy Murray made a comeback in Men’s Singles after a seven-month layoff but it was short-lived as he fell in the first round itself to Frenchman Richard Gasquet....

Chelsea stayed top with a 2-1 home win over Tottenham Hotspur, their seventh successive league victory going into the game against third-placed City on Saturday. “We are taking it match by match. It’s quite hard to keep a run going in this league but after the couple of matches we lost we have won seven in a row which is very good,” Courtois told the club’s website (www.chelseafc.com).

The Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights sent the letter on Tuesday, which warned that if members of Congress increase law enforcement’s role in combatting white nationalist terrorism, this will only cause increased negative effects for minority communities that are “disproportionally impacted” by the legal system. “We are concerned that a new federal domestic terrorism statute or list would adversely impact civil rights and — as our nation’s long and disturbing history of targeting Black Activists, Muslims, Arabs, and movements for social and racial justice has shown —this new authority could be used to expand racial profiling or be wielded to surveil and investigate communities of color and political opponents in the name of national security,” the letter reads....

In previous titles, cities were pretty much confined to a single tile, although they did allow the space around them to be developed into farms and mines. In Civilization 6 the tiles of a city have become much more important, as Wonders and specialized Districts now take up a whole tile each.

Just one problem. Although the U.S.-born Clarkson led all scorers with 28 points, he had to sit out much of the fourth quarter with a cramp in his right thigh. That was the opening China needed, winning 82-80 in Tuesday’s Group D game. Clarkson returned to play the last few minutes of the quarter, and the Philippines Paul Dalistan missed a 3-point shot with about five seconds left, which could have sealed an upset against the tournament favorites....

India’s back-to-back victories against Sri Lanka and Maldives helped them book a semi-final clash with Pakistan, which will be played at the Bangabandhu National Stadium here on Wednesday. “We are aware of the contest.

The two sides last played an official match in September 2013 in Kathmandu....

Much is different about this year’s event, starting with how it will be contested. The Clash has been moved to Daytona’s 14-turn, 3.61-mile road course from its 2.5-mile superspeedway.

“Right now, there’s too much anger and hate, and that’s been generated from the top. I just don’t believe that our party can survive by appealing to the dark side of humanity,” the widow of Arizona Senator John McCain told MSNBC in an interview.

Not just yet. A number of classical circuses–known for intimate, tented settings and minimal technology–persist despite pressure to modernize. “The economic constraints are very real,” says Paul Binder, founder of the Big Apple Circus, where ticket sales fell 5 percent last year. The tension of old vs. new is evident: Big Apple uses high-tech lighting and digital sound effects, but still features age-old yet captivating feats in a 1,700-person tent....

The new rule of not producing noises above 40 decibels is for 9 p.m. to 7 a.m. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), 40 decibels is equivalent to the hum of a refrigerator. A “soft whisper” emits around 30 decibels, according to the health agency....

That’s a terrible idea. I say this not because I favor the Twitter school of public communication, which holds that each exchange must be nasty, brutish and short. Such a noxious style has served us very poorly these four years, and we’d do well to lay off the bloviations and the insults. But if you believe, like me, that politics is not a contact sport but the sacred duty of making our collective future better, you ought to recognize that being perfectly civil is about the worst thing we can do....
