Sending full length flying returns, making Federer work for each and every point, breaking his rhythm and not allowing him to have any look in his service games, the Croatian was playing his best tennis. Coric’s best tennis was hitting the balls flat and straight, right back at his opponent, and he did it consistently well. He was sure about his movement around the baseline, which meant his court position was just perfect, in order that he could dictate the flow of the rally strokes....

However, some editors like Vi or Vim have their learning curves and key bindings which can be hard to grasp for beginners. Here’s a simpler alternative: Micro Text Editor.

In a statement posted on Twitter, Feist said she is leaving the tour because of allegations of sexual misconduct made against Arcade Fire frontman Win Butler. (In statements to Pitchfork, Butler has said the alleged sexual encounters were consensual.)

Goals from Bruno Fernandes and Cristiano Ronaldo – his 99th in international colours – secured a battling 2-0 win in Luxembourg on Sunday and made sure of Portugal’s place in next year’s tournament. Santos’ side only won one game inside 90 minutes as they ground their way to glory in France in 2016. The emergence of Bernardo Silva, Joao Felix, Ruben Neves and Fernandes, alongside the presence of the evergreen Ronaldo, arguably gives the veteran coach a far stronger squad than the one that won a maiden major international honour for the country....

Look for an oil-free sunscreen meant for sensitive skin. Oily sunscreens may contribute to additional acne breakouts. Cover the area with clothing (e. g. , by avoiding low-back tank tops) whenever possible as well, but apply sunscreen even when the area is covered with clothing. Apply the product as directed to your skin, focusing on your back acne discoloration scars. You may need to enlist the help of a friend to apply it to hard-to-reach spots on your back....

If they see any unattached ticks, they should pick them up with gloved fingers, a piece of tissue, or tweezers. It will be easiest if you have a partner remove the tick from your hair for you, but if you are doing it yourself, use a mirror to help you see your scalp. Many tools are sold that are designed for tick removal. You can use one of these instead of tweezers....

To relax before starting a conversation with the girl you like, try taking slow, deep breaths for a few minutes while imagining calming scenery. For instance, you could say, “So how about our math homework last night? It was so long, I thought the problems would never end!” or just ask, “Hey! How’s your day going?...

Don’t be afraid to ask him what he means. If you like him, but he isn’t clear about what he wants from you, it is completely your place to inquire further. If he says something as vague as, “Will you go out with me?”, you can say, “Sure! What did you have in mind?” If it’s a group event, make sure that he is inviting you explicitly as his “date”. If he invites you along with him and his friends, it probably means that he likes you, but it doesn’t necessarily mean that he’s asking you to be his girlfriend yet....

If your rabbit’s poops are linked together, chances are it’s ingesting too much hair. Try brushing it more often. If you don’t see much loose hair after grooming your rabbit, you’re probably okay to wait a little longer between brushing sessions. Depending on the rabbit, its shed might happen all in one day, over a period of several days, or even over a few weeks. It’s common for rabbits to develop some bald spots while they’re shedding....

Specific phobia is a common anxiety disorder outlined in the DSM-5. Specific phobia is an intense and irrational fear of something that presents little to no danger. The fear is often so strong that a person will go to significant lengths and make marked efforts to avoid the trigger of the fear, even if they realize the fear is disproportionate to the event....

The first two Fear Street films, Fear Street Part One: 1994 and Fear Street Part Two: 1978 were released to Netflix over two consecutive Fridays this month.
