Not Okay, directed and created by Quinn Shephard follows the story of Danni Sanders (played by Zoey Deutch) a 20-something millennial who, instead of staying true to herself, pretends to go to Paris in a bid to impress office hot boy, Colin (Dylan O’Brien). Danni, who is a skilled photo editor for fictional New York magazine, Depravity, starts off by photoshopping images of herself in Paris, living, what appears to be, her best life....

The 24-year-old, speaking to ESPNCricinfo at the sidelines of the India-A game against Australia at Alur, said on being asked about his batting: “Do I believe (I can play for India)? Yes. I’m capable of playing for India. Whether the selectors think of me or what others think of me, about how long I haven’t scored a hundred - those things don’t matter”. An injury to Wriddhiman Saha, and his prolonged absence from the Indian Test side since January this year, has forced the selectors to oscillate between Parthiv Patel, Dinesh Karthik and now Rishabh Pant for the keeper’s slot....

In 2014, though, along came OlliOlli, a skateboarding game developed and published by Roll7 for PS Vita (and later released on PC and home consoles). Instead of the gimmick-heavy gameplay of the last TH game, OlliOlli was a return to skating’s roots. It combined the combo trickery of the original Tony Hawk games and the control scheme of the Skate series (where tricks are mapped to an analogue stick rather than a combination of button presses) for a thrilling experience that recaptured what made us all fall in love with virtual skateboarding in the first place....

Lorenzo has repeatedly caused chaos in warm-up laps in recent weeks, angering Miller in Mugello and Vinales – as well as team-mate Marc Marquez – in Barcelona with manoeuvres they deemed to be dangerous. The Repsol Honda rider then clipped Andrea Dovizioso and wiped out Vinales and Valentino Rossi in the process in the race on Sunday. Vinales said the three-time MotoGP champion made a “rookie mistake” and Miller has called on Lorenzo to temper his aggression....

McCain is known for fighting against earmarks, the other term lawmakers use for funding of pet projects back home. But he appears to have chosen these three because they’re easy to mock, not because he had significant involvement in removing them from the budget. He never specifically went after the “bridge to nowhere,” and he was absent for key votes on its funding. While he tried to cut money for several other projects in the same bill, he never proposed cutting the bear study and voted for the final bill containing it....

Dayro Moreno had given Talleres Cordoba an overall lead over Palestino early in their return match in Argentina after the sides drew 2-2 in last week’s first leg, reports Xinhua news agency. But late goals from Luis Jimenez and Cristobal Jorquera ensured the Santiago club progressed 4-3 on aggregate.

Line: Panthers -4.5, Total: 48 Line movement: The Panthers were bet up to -6 from a -5 opener in less than 24 hours at the Westgate Las Vegas SuperBook prior to the Giants’ 31-24 Monday night victory over the Dolphins. Pulled from the board before kickoff, the book relisted the Panthers -4.5. While it reached as high as -6.5 at William Hill, the line bounced between -5 and -5.5 for much of the week, before a move on the Giants prompted an adjustment to -4....

Apparently, the firm has been involved with a merger since then. On last night’s season premiere, we learn that it is now called Fwar, Dips, Winshares, Gritt, Babip, Pecota, Vorp and Eckstein. For the sabermetrically uninitiated, here’s what the new terms stand for: fWAR is FanGraphs’ version of Wins Above Replacement. DIPS stands for Defense Independent Pitching Statistics, a concept developed in 2001 by Voros McCracken. It measures a pitcher’s effectiveness in areas in which fielders don’t have an impact: home runs allowed, strikeouts, walks, etc....

The right-hander scored 78 off 109 balls, including 10 boundaries. The former Pakistan captain also shared a 150-run partnership with centurion Saud Shakeel for the fifth wicket. The duo bailed out Pakistan from 182/4. However, Pakistan fans were disappointed with Sarfaraz Ahmed’s mode of dismissal. The majority of them believed that Sarfaraz’s feet were planted on the ground when the batter was given stumped out by the TV umpire....

The Real Madrid No.7 appeared to be on the receiving end of contact from the Barcelona defender three minutes in - but was it enough contact to justify giving a penalty? LIVE: Real Madrid vs Barcelona The officials at the Santiago Bernabeu decided against it - and thousands of football fans made their varied opinions crystal clear on Twitter in the moments afterwards. Victory in the Spanish capital would revive Barca’s Liga hopes, while defeat would see them six points adrift of their Clasico rivals and triumph surely no longer within their grasp....

TAYLOR: You weren’t impressed with Microsoft’s suggestions that your remedy would wreck the American economy? JACKSON:I’m not an economist and I’m not a[n] economic policymaker. I was presented with what appeared to be a remedy which reflected the thoughtful work product of the officials of the Department of Justice and the attorneys general of 19 states, and they had the benefit of a lot of economic advice, and it appeared to me to address the violations that I had found, and to conform to the Supreme Court’s prescriptions as to the appropriate form of a remedy in an antitrust case of this character....

The 25-year-old, Chelsea’s record signing following £58 million transfer from Real Madrid, scored as the Blues booked their place in the FA Cup semi-finals, where they will face Southampton. Prior to his strike against the Foxes, his form this season has been poor, with a back injury unsettling his season and leading to a 13-game drought that has also seen him dropped by Spain. However, Forssell, himself a former Chelsea striker, believes the striker’s critics will soon forget his dry spell, provided he can continue scoring....

The Reds signed Colombian winger Luis Diaz from FC Porto in the January transfer window. Tottenham Hotspur were also interested in the forward and were negotiating the price when the Reds swooped in to match Porto’s asking price. With Diaz on board, Agbonlahor believes it is time for Jurgen Klopp to sell Minamino and Origi. The former Premier League striker claims the two players are not good enough for the club and should be replaced....

She works from 8:00 to 4:00 due to their state’s law of minors not being able to work longer than eight hours....

After losing their first five games, RCB find themselves at the bottom of the eight-team points table. On Friday night, they looked to be in the groove with star batsmen Virat Kohli and AB de Villiers roaring back to form. Both batsmen hit belligerent half centuries as RCB posted a mammoth 205/3 after being asked to bat first by the Kolkata Knight Riders. But while defending the score, they were never really in the game as KKR always had a measure of it....

The 34-year-old has never quite followed through on the potential he showed as a teenager at Sporting, despite stints at Barcelona, Inter and Besiktas among other clubs. But he was on target when it counted on Monday with his 10th international goal to put Portugal clear in a crucial World Cup clash against Iran. The manner of the goal, moreover, was classic Quaresma, boring in from the right wing and curling the ball home with an incredible outside of the foot strike....

The Disney+ show’s penultimate episode left many unanswered questions, which were addressed in the final episode. Here is everything you need to know about what happened in the finale of Obi-Wan Kenobi. Did Obi-Wan Kenobi Beat Darth Vader?
