Vettel’s strategy “screwed” my race – Ricciardo – F1 Fanatic
Daniel Ricciardo said he has spoken to his team about the strategy decision which potentially cost him victory in the Spanish Grand Prix. The Red Bull driver led team mate Max Verstappen in the opening stages of the Spanish Grand Prix but fell to fourth after a switch to a three-stop strategy. Verstappen, who pitted just twice, won the race. Ricciardo said Red Bull put him on the strategy which seemed the best solution at the time. “We had a few discussions after the race and the week afterwards as well I spent quite a bit of time with the team,” he told reporters in Monaco. “Just basically it seems at the time, through their eyes, the three-stop was the best thing.” “It looked like [Sebastian] Vettel was our biggest challenger, I guess, for the victory so once we had the gap to fit the three-stop in they pitted me and I think then Vettel pitted the lap later.” However Vettel returned to the pits just eight laps later which both got him in front of Ricciardo and doomed … [Read more...] about Vettel’s strategy “screwed” my race – Ricciardo – F1 Fanatic

It’s apocalypse now—or is it?—in M. Night Shyamalan’s ‘Knock at the Cabin’
It's a bad joke and a bum rap that M. Night Shyamalan is often confused for a mere merchant of cheap twists, a multiplex O. Henry. Still, there's no denying that a desire to blow minds, to leave audiences reeling from a last-minute reversal, remains baked into his artistry, several decades removed from The Sixth Sense , the movie that made his career and his reputation as a relentless rug-puller. Call it the Rod Serling in him. Knock at the Cabin , Shyamalan's latest trip to the Twilight Zone, has a slightly different alchemy. In this claustrophobic high-concept thriller, the possibility of a big climatic reveal isn't lurking somewhere in the background like a twist waiting to happen, implied by dint of the name on the byline. No, here it's an open threat for audiences and characters alike—one scary possibility of only two on the horizon. In that sense, Shyamalan has privileged suspense over surprise this time, wresting control, Split style, from his inner Serling and … [Read more...] about It’s apocalypse now—or is it?—in M.

Defense decries publicity in trial over deadly Houston raid
This is a carousel. Use Next and Previous buttons to navigate 3 HOUSTON (AP) — Attorneys for a former Houston police officer charged with murder in connection with a deadly drug raid decried the publicity the case has generated and suggested Wednesday that newly discovered evidence could undermine prosecutors' claims that the couple who lived at the home were unfairly targeted. But during a court hearing, prosecutors reiterated that the pair were not drug dealers. They said former Officer Gerald Goines’ actions during the raid were part of a long history of misconduct and lies that resulted in multiple convictions and cases tied to him being overturned or dismissed. Goines faces two murder charge s as well as other counts in state and federal court stemming from the raid he led in January 2019, in which Dennis Tuttle, 59, and his wife, Rhogena Nicholas, 58, were killed. The families of Tuttle and Nicholas have filed federal civil rights lawsuits … [Read more...] about Defense decries publicity in trial over deadly Houston raid
