Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola said "you have to win this kind of game" after his side were held to a frustrating draw by struggling West Brom. Baggies goalkeeper Sam Johnstone made two point-blank stoppage-time saves to deny City victory and leave Guardiola's side sixth in the Premier League table, five points off the top. "It will be a long season but if you want to be up there we have to win here and we could not do it," he said. "We created chances, we controlled it but you have to win. This game works on results." City seemed on course for a customary home win against West Brom when Ilkay Gundogan applied a first-time finish to Raheem Sterling's cutback after half an hour. But the midfielder's first goal in 22 games was cancelled out before half-time when a volley on the turn from Semi Ajayi, which appeared to be going wide, deflected off Ruben Dias and wrong-footed City keeper Ederson. It was the first goal City had conceded in 608 minutes in all competitions and was followed by a valiant backs-to-the-wall effort from Slaven Bilic's visitors, who defended heroically. It seems that the point may still not be enough to keep Bilic in the job, with the 52-year-old's exit potentially coming as early as Wednesday. Uncertainty over Bilic's future has been fuelled by his admission there have been no talks over a new contract, with his current one due to expire in the summer. Follow reaction from Tuesday's games here Battling Baggies scrap for point The visitors had lost each of their past nine visits to Etihad Stadium and hopes could not have been especially high on their latest trip, given they had won once all season and that success - at home to bottom club Sheffield United - was the only time they avoided defeat in a run of six matches. Little wonder Bilic's future is the topic of major debate - or that the Baggies boss looked edgy as he tried to urge his team on during an opening period that could hardly have been more one-sided. City enjoyed 77% possession, yet at the start of the half came a golden chance that West Brom should have taken - and at the end of the first period, a scruffy one that they did. With a restricted budget, Bilic pushed the Baggies board to pay Huddersfield £15m for striker Karlan Grant on deadline day. A return of one goal from nine games before this one is not good enough - and he will not have many better chances than the one he had after seven minutes - straight in front of goal, 10 yards out, with only Ederson to beat. Grant's shot lacked conviction, was not close enough to the corner and allowed the keeper to save. Ajayi's deflected equaliser was unexpected, but it gave West Brom something to cling to. In partnership with Dara O'Shea, Ajayi was outstanding in the second half. Despite offering no threat at the other end, the visitors' collective effort was far better than anything previously produced in a season where they had conceded 25 goals in their first 12 games, more than any other side. And Johnstone's heroics at the end ensured the defenders' efforts gained a tangible reward. "We defended brilliantly, it's a great point but more than that it shows we know what we have to do in every game," Bilic said. "We are defending for our lives, ready to die for each other on the pitch and that's all I can ask." Offensive struggles for Guardiola's City City still have some truly great players but the losses of midfielder David Silva to Real Sociedad in the close season, and Sergio Aguero to injury for much of the campaign, have robbed them of key attacking threats. For all their possession, clear chances were at a premium. Benjamin Mendy and Rodri were both off-target with efforts that could be classed as more hopeful than threatening. Sterling's inventiveness created Gundogan's goal as he delayed his cutback just long enough to tee up the Germany midfielder in the perfect spot, but too often City chose the wrong option and ended up running into a red and yellow-shirted wall. Johnstone denied Sterling after the interval with a smart reaction save but as desperate clearance followed desperate clearance and block followed block, City boss Pep Guardiola became more and more agitated. At one point he almost resorted to chasing after the ball when it went out of play to try and maintain his side's attacking momentum, and when fourth official Anthony Taylor was about to signal the minimum amount of additional time to be played, Guardiola amusingly stuck his head over the board, as if to say the number was wrong. Back on the bench after a bout of gastroenteritis, the introduction of Aguero midway through the second period signalled fresh hope for City. But the Argentine missed his best chance three minutes from time - and former Manchester United keeper Johnstone did the rest. "You don't have to be so clever to see the gap between this year and previous years [in our results]," Guardiola said. "It is not confidence, Sergio Aguero is injured for four months, but we create chances, we are there we just can't score."

A top member of US President Donald Trump's Republican Party, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, has congratulated Joe Biden on winning the presidential election last month. Senator McConnell spoke after the electoral college formally confirmed Mr Biden's victory over Mr Trump. The Democrat won 306 electoral college votes to Mr Trump's 232. President Trump still refuses to concede, making unsubstantiated claims of widespread fraud. The people who ultimately pick the US president What Biden's victory means for rest of world 'Let's work together!' World reacts to Biden win Relations with the Senate, currently controlled by the Republicans, will be He visited Atlanta, Georgia, to campaign for the Democrats in next month's Senate run-off elections. Two seats will be decided on 5 January and could determine whether or not his party takes control of the chamber. Democrats already control the House of Representatives. After Monday's confirmation of Mr Biden's victory, three world leaders whose refusal to congratulate the president-elect had been commented widely, did so on Tuesday: Russia's Vladimir Putin, Brazil's Jair Bolsonaro and Mexico's Andrés Manuel López Obrador. Putin offers Biden late congratulation on poll win How did McConnell break ranks? Speaking on the Senate floor, Mr McConnell said he had hoped for a "different result" from the 3 November election but the electoral college had spoken. "So today I want to congratulate President-elect Joe Biden," he said. Also congratulating Mr Biden's running-mate, Kamala Harris, he added: "All Americans can take pride that our nation has a female vice president-elect for the very first time." Mr Biden said later he had phoned Mr McConnell to thank him for the congratulations and the two had agreed to "get together sooner than later". In an interview to ABC News, Ms Harris said she welcomed Mr McConnell's comments. "It would have been better if it were earlier but it happened, and that's what's most important. Let's move forward. And where we can find common purpose and common ground, let's do that." Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer urged Mr Trump to "end his term with a modicum of grace and dignity". "For the sake of our democracy, for the sake of peaceful transition of power, he should stop the shenanigans, stop the misrepresentations and acknowledge that Joe Biden will be our next president," he said. President Trump does not appear to be changing his stance. Tweeting on Tuesday, he said without offering evidence that "tremendous evidence" of voter fraud was "pouring in". When asked if Mr Trump recognised Mr Biden as president-elect, White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany merely said the president was still involved in ongoing litigation related to the election. It took more than a month, but Mitch McConnell is now acknowledging the obvious - that Joe Biden will be the next US president. Upon Donald Trump's departure from the White House, the Senate majority leader will become the senior-most Republican officeholder in the US, so his congratulations to the Democratic president-elect are meaningful. They will give cover to other members of Congress who may have been holding their tongues lest they draw Donald Trump's ire. It may allow the presidential transition process to unroll in a more traditional manner - at least where relations between Congress and the incoming administration are concerned. With Mr McConnell now accepting Joe Biden's victory, President Trump's final play - challenging his election loss in Congress on 6 January - also becomes more pointless. Not only will it be blocked by the Democrat-controlled House of Representatives, it seems unlikely to find any traction in the Senate. Now the waiting for the Trump response begins. Will he shrug off Mr McConnell's words or add him to the growing list of enemies within his own party that must be confronted and condemned? The president's next words and actions could reveal the depth of the political turmoil facing the party in the days ahead. line What happens in Georgia? When Mr Biden takes over the White House on 20 January, he will be looking for the support of both chambers of Congress to carry out his election promises. Republicans have 52 of the 100 Senate seats. But this could change after the two separate run-offs in Georgia. In both races, a Republican incumbent faces a Democratic newcomer: Senator David Perdue, 70, will compete against Jon Ossoff, 33, a documentary filmmaker, while Senator Kelly Loeffler, 50, is up against Rev Raphael Warnock, 51, a senior pastor at an Atlanta Baptist church. Speaking at a drive-in rally in Atlanta, Mr Biden thanked voters for having faith and "standing strong", saying: "Your voice was heard, your votes were counted, and counted and counted again. I'm starting to feel like I won Georgia three times." But he emphasised that to get things done, he needed two Democratic senators, "not two senators who are just going to get in the way". "Send me these two men and we'll control the Senate and we'll change the lives of people in Georgia," Mr Biden said, adding that the Senate should have passed a Covid relief package "months ago" but was doing "nothing". Recent polls suggest Mr Warnock is pulling ahead of Ms Loeffler, while the Perdue-Ossoff race is a dead heat. If the Democrats win both seats, the Senate will be evenly divided - but it will still be a win for the Democrats. US vice-presidents have the power to cast tie-breaking votes in the Senate, meaning that with Vice-President-elect Harris on board, Democrats would effectively control both chambers. Georgia starts voting in pivotal senate battle Trump campaigns in crucial Senate battleground Meanwhile, Mr Biden nominated Pete Buttigieg as his transport secretary. If successful, Mr Buttigieg would be the first openly gay member of an American cabinet. The 38-year-old was a 2020 Democratic presidential candidate until he dropped out of the race and supported Mr Biden. US media report Mr Biden will nominate former Michigan Governor Jennifer Granholm for secretary of energy and Gina McCarthy for a new climate policy advisor position. Ms McCarthy was the administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency under the Obama administration.

DDR5 is slated for a 2021 release, and TeamGroup is working around the clock to be one of the first vendors to push out their products. The memory manufacturer has already started the validation phase with the top motherboard companies in the industry, including Asus, MSI, ASRock and Gigabyte. Just to start things off, TeamGroup plans to release its first wave of DDR5 memory modules with a capacity of 16GB. The memory modules are rated for DDR5-4800 and only require a 1.1V DRAM voltage to operate. The specifications are not final, of course, but that's what TeamGroup expects to put out TeamGroup's press release mentions one very particular DDR5 trait. According to the company, users will no longer need to play with BIOS settings to get memory kits to run at their advertised frequency. As you know, the majority, if not all, high-speed DDR4 memory kits run at JEDEC's baseline, and you either have to manually set up the memory or enable the XMP (AMP on AMD) profile inside the BIOS. Apparently, DDR5 will omit that step. However, it's uncertain if DDR5 will run at the marketed frequency and timings right out of the box or there's some kind of chip on the module itself that'll handle the automatic configuration. In the mainstream market, there are two processor families that have been rumored to support DDR5. Alder Lake-S, Intel's first hybrid desktop chip, could also be the first mainstream processor to support DDR5 memory. We already know that Alder Lake-S will inhabit the new LGA1700 socket, so DDR5 support isn't unlikely. A previous roadmap claimed that AMD will support DDR5 on its next-generation processors too. By next-generation, it's reasonable to assume that it's the chipmaker's Zen 4 parts, which could hit the market with the Ryzen 6000 moniker. Ryzen 5000 (Vermeer) was AM4's last ride, meaning that Zen 4 will likely command a new socket, probably AM5 if AMD continues with the trend.

Mac users of Microsoft Teams are about to receive a new way of interacting with their meetings – by using the much-maligned Touch Bar. The feature is currently in development and is expected to launch in January next year. Touch Bar Meetings Controls will allow meeting participants to mute or unmute themselves, start or stop the video, open the sharing tray, open the view participants panel, and raise or retract their hand. Given that MacBooks don’t offer touchscreen support, the ability to use the Touch Bar in this way will provide some useful added functionality for Teams users. Particularly when taking part in larger meetings, having the ability to quickly make yourself heard (or unheard) can be extremely important. With touchscreen controls this is straightforward but now MacBook users can have that same speed of control without having to use their trackpad or mouse. We've assembled a list of the best video conferencing software around And here's our roundup of the best email services These are the best business webcams for working from home Touchy subject The Touch Bar was announced by Apple back in 2016, as a new design feature to accompany the next release of the company’s MacBook Pro range. The bar is essentially a touch-based OLED strip that takes the place of the function keys on a regular keyboard. The idea is that the Touch Bar can change its function depending on what application is being used. If you’re streaming videos, for example, it can house pause, play, and volume controls. Although the Touch Bar was released to much fanfare four years ago, some users have complained that it comes across as little more than a gimmick. In addition, when the Touch Bar isn’t expanded, it can actually end up slowing users down when compared to having a static row of keys. Nevertheless, it’s nice to see Microsoft showing Mac users some love by adding Teams support to the Touch Bar. The more apps that add this kind of functionality, the less the Touch Bar will feel like an unnecessary gimmick. Also, check out our roundup of the best online collaboration software Via MSPoweruser

Gears 5 (PC, Xbox One [reviewed]) Developer: The Coalition Publisher: Xbox Game Studios Released: September 10, 2019 MSRP: $59.99; included as part of Xbox Game Pass Not surprisingly, Gears 5 picks up right where Gears of War 4 left off. There are macro- and micro-level stories being told. The large-scale conflict revolves around bringing the Hammer of Dawn network back online in order to protect the COG capital city from the Swarm; the more-personal narrative deals with protagonist Kait's lineage and how she comes to terms with it. The former propels most of the gameplay, but the latter is undeniably more interesting. Although Gears 5 employs the ghosts of its past (again) to make a splash, it's Kait's conflicts that lend the most emotional heft. Her moments of revelation, despair, determination, pain -- it's mostly all effective and nuanced, whereas past Gears titles' handling of similar moments came off as hamfisted. Kait's relationship with Del, who accompanies her for the entirety of the campaign, is natural and empathetic. He's a great sidekick, and their camaraderie adds weight to an already-heavy choice that Gears 5 asks players to make. Gears 5 navigates its narrative more elegantly than any previous game, and it imparts a very real sense that this is Gears growing up. The action is similarly elevated in a way that feels... bigger? Setpiece sequences pack explosive punches the way everyone has come to expect. Combat, however, ratchets up the pressure, always stretching shootouts slightly past the point of comfort. It's intense. The Coalition has done a magnificent job designing weaponry, enemy patterns, and arenas that prevent the player from sticking to the same piece of cover until everything's dead. A certain degree of mobility is necessary, and that makes it all the more dangerous. But, the best complement to all the shooting is all the not-shooting. Gears 5 is confident enough to rely on long periods of quiet, asking its characters to take in the environment and the exposition. It's some of the most fascinating moments Gears 5 has to offer -- especially a mid-game robot-guided tour through a carnival of horrors -- because it affords the opportunity to think and absorb. Then, when the bullets start flying again, it sounds that much louder because it's contrasted against silence. All of that is stitched together by Gears 5's most flagrant miss. The Coalition has introduced a pseudo-open-world component, as the middle acts are strung along by vehicle traversal that's lifeless and unexciting. Piloting a skiff through huge and barren areas, it's an uninspired way to make Gears feel less linear. It also brings the pacing to a screeching halt between chapters. As it's implemented, this approach to an open world is a relic in 2019 -- something that would've seemed novel many years ago but doesn't hold up to present game design standards. It's not all bad, though; at least it facilitates an impressive setpiece: a race against a train through a lightning storm. Likely the biggest justification for the open-world system is that it's in service of adding side missions. These are found in locations that are off the critical path, always signposted by a flag. Side missions are rudimentary and not very well-varied. They're nothing more than quick combat sections, usually only a single wave of enemies. But, their rewards make life significantly easier. Gears 5's other (and better) major addition concerns Jack, the do-it-all robot that supports Kait for the entirety of the campaign. The world is littered with resources to upgrade Jack's capabilities, and the side missions unlock its ultimate abilities. In the early game, Jack seems superfluous -- a decent companion but not a necessity. Later, Jack becomes more essential. Abilities like flash freezing enemies and deploying a giant barrier shield open up new combat opportunities rather than just cowering in cover until it's time to strike. The Gears 5 campaign is a tale of competing interests. When it's comfortable enough to stick to Gears' roots, it does those things better than any game before it. The story and the action are unmatched (and I don't think this is just recency bias kicking in), proving that The Coalition absolutely knows how to create a Gears game that can transcend anything in the original trilogy. But, when Gears 5 tries to forge its own identity, it's a split decision. The Jack stuff can stay but the open world has to go. However, Gears 5 is more than just a campaign. Three dedicated multiplayer modes capture the essence of Gears in different ways. The purest is probably Horde, the beloved cooperative wave-based onslaught that boils Gears down to its base experience. This iteration expands on classes, outfitting each player with a role to play within the team. Tanks draw fire, engineers build things, etc. A neat addition is Jack as a support class, a robot buzzing around and helping out where needed rather than the traditional Gears goal of just putting bullets in everything. It's a Horde mode that emphasizes and requires strategy more than ever before. Versus is still the competitive draw, pitting players against each other in five-on-five modes that have been a staple of the series. Team Deathmatch, King of the Hill, Guardian, and more -- it's all back, mostly untouched from previous iterations. The notable addition is Arcade mode, which leans more toward casual rather than super serious. It's a team race to 50 kills, and each kill you personally rack up earns you a skull. These can be used to purchase new weapons: a few skulls for some sort of minor improvement, or a lot of skulls for the heavy artillery. Arcade is fine and it's fun in short spurts, but it doesn't have the appeal to lure the competitive players away from their wall-bouncing Gnasher battles. Last (and least), there's the brand new Escape mode. Escape drops three players in the center of a Locust hive, planting a bomb with the intention of blowing the whole thing up. The idea is to, you know, escape. A steady-moving wall of poisonous gas to their back forces players to keep running through rooms. If feels very antithetical to the Gears formula to dash past enemies without ensuring everything's dead. Its urgency can be exhilarating, though. Escape subverts what Gears should be, and that's interesting. But, of all the modes, it's the most fleeting. It doesn't have the depth that established modes have. That means most players will just find it a pleasant distraction, not their go-to game. The Coalition has achieved a lot with Gears 5. The writing and action often rivals the best moments in the series, even surpassing its predecessors at times. The overall package is the most robust Gears has ever seen. But, the big structural alteration feels like an unequivocal misstep. Gears 5 is a rousing success, but it could've done without the needless change. ------------------------------- Gears 5 System Requirments -------------------------------- Minimum -------------------------------- CPU: AMD FX-6000 series / Intel i3 Skylake CPU SPEED: Info RAM: 6 GB OS: Windows 7 VIDEO CARD: AMD Radeon R9 280 or RX 560 / Nvidia GTX 760 or GTX 1050 PIXEL SHADER: 5.0 VERTEX SHADER: 5.0 FREE DISK SPACE: 15 GB DEDICATED VIDEO RAM: 2 GB ----------------------------------- Recommonded ----------------------------------- CPU: AMD Ryzen 3 / Intel i5 Skylake CPU SPEED: Info RAM: 8 GB OS: Windows 7 VIDEO CARD: AMD Radeon RX 570 or RX 5700 / GTX 970 or GTX 1660 Ti PIXEL SHADER: 5.1 VERTEX SHADER: 5.1 FREE DISK SPACE: 15 GB DEDICATED VIDEO RAM: 4 GB -----------------------------------------

The Outer Worlds is coming to Steam on October 23, 2020. The colourful action RPG isn't new, of course, having released this time last year on consoles and PC via Epic Games Store. Now, however, the one-year Epic Store exclusivity period has expired, which means PC players will finally be able to pick the game via Steam for the first time. According to the Steam store page, The Outer Worlds on Steam will feature achievements, full controller support, Steam trading cards, and Steam Cloud saving. It can also be remote-played on compatible TVs. The critically-acclaimed sci-fi game is already available on Nintendo Switch, having been released on Nintendo's hybrid console earlier this year. There's also already story DLC available for it, too. "Obsidian's talent for sharp writing, choice-based narrative, and complex role-playing systems have coalesced together to create one of the strongest new IPs of the generation with The Outer Worlds," we said in the GamesRadar+ The Outer Worlds review. "There's plenty of room for improvement when it comes to making combat as compelling and rewarding as the rest of the game but, nevertheless, The Outer Worlds absolutely delivers on its premise as an immersive, full-bodied RPG that successfully picks up the baton where Bethesda has been dropping it of late. "Those expecting a straight-up spiritual successor to Fallout: New Vegas might be surprised by Obsidian's more contained and old-fashioned approach to science fiction, but stick with this unashamedly talkative tragic comedy, and you'll discover one of the smartest games of the year." Looking for something new to get stuck into? Here are the best PC games right now.

My Vote DH2 Amazing . Than DH1

Top US virus expert Dr Anthony Fauci has criticised the White House for hosting a gathering last month that has been linked to an outbreak of Covid-19. Dr Fauci, a member of the White House coronavirus task force, said the unveiling of President Donald Trump's nominee to the Supreme Court was a "superspreader event". At least 11 people who attended the event on 26 September tested positive. Mr Trump is himself recovering from Covid-19. His doctors have just cleared him to hold public events, less than a month before he faces Democratic candidate Joe Biden in the presidential election. Mr Trump has expressed scepticism about measures such as masks and lockdowns to combat the spread of Covid-19, which has killed more than 213,000 people in the US. He has talked up the prospects of a vaccine becoming available, although researchers say this is unlikely to happen before next year at the earliest. Polling suggests Mr Biden has a single-digit lead over Mr Trump and an ABC News/Ipsos poll found that just 35% of Americans approved of how Mr Trump has handled the crisis. CBS News asked on Friday what Dr Fauci thought of the White House's reluctance to insist on mask-wearing and social distancing as virus precautions, and instead rely on regular testing. "The data speak for themselves - we had a superspreader event in the White House, and it was in a situation where people were crowded together and were not wearing masks." An event at the White House on Saturday 26 September, for the president's nomination of Amy Coney Barrett as a Supreme Court justice, is thought to be the root of the localised outbreak. As well as President Trump and his wife Melania, those who attended and later tested positive included two senators, the White House press secretary and former Trump counsellor Kellyanne Conway. Dr Fauci also noted experts have been recommending mask-wearing for the last six months, and condemned talk of a coronavirus "cure" - a word Mr Trump has used in reference to the experimental Covid-19 treatments he received during his recent stay at a military hospital. Large gatherings are still banned in the US capital due to Covid-19, but federal property like the White House is exempt. How is Mr Trump's health? Mr Trump - who was discharged from hospital on Monday after three nights - was asked in an interview with Fox News on Friday evening about the symptoms he had experienced. The president said he had not felt strong, but had found no problem breathing. Asked if he had re-tested for coronavirus on Friday, the president said he was at "either the bottom of the scale or free", though he did not say his results were negative. What events does he have planned? On Saturday, which according to his doctors will be 10 days since his diagnosis, Mr Trump will give a speech from the White House balcony to a group gathered on the South Lawn. Hundreds of people have reportedly been invited. Top Republican avoids White House over Covid-19 US election 2020: Your top questions answered All attendees will be required to wear masks, will be given temperature checks and encouraged to social distance, said the White House. Mr Trump's remarks will be on the subject of "law and order", according to the White House, which adds that it is a presidential rather than a campaign event. There will also be an event by the group Blexit, a campaign urging black voters to reject the Democratic party. On Monday the Trump campaign is planning a big rally in Sanford, Florida. What about the debates? Next week's second presidential debate between Mr Trump and his Democratic White House challenger Joe Biden is now officially cancelled. The Commission on Presidential Debates said in a statement on Friday that both campaigns had announced "alternate plans for that date". Mr Trump had baulked at a request from the commission to hold the 15 October showdown virtually to minimise the risk of spreading coronavirus. The commission said it was still making arrangements for the third and final presidential debate in Nashville, Tennessee, on 22 October. The Trump campaign said the commission was "biased" towards Mr Biden, while the Democrat's team accused the president of ducking the debate. Who has tested positive in Mr Trump's circle? The announcement of Mr Trump's first mass gathering since his infection triggered alarms in Washington, where officials are still attempting to contact trace attendees from the White House event. Mr Trump tested positive for Covid-19 last Thursday, according to his doctors, but he has not said when his last negative test was. Did this White House event cause a virus outbreak? As many as 34 White House aides and other contacts have tested positive for Covid-19 in recent days, according to US media. On Friday, the Minnesota Department of Health said nine infections have been tied to Mr Trump's 18 September campaign rally in the state. At least one person was infectious when they attended, officials say, and two cases ou hawzebi have led to hospital admissions, with one of those people in intensive care.

When it comes to performance driving, “progress” isn't always a good thing. Sure, progress gave us 800-horsepower family sedans and telemetry-rich infotainment systems, but it's also responsible for the steady rise in vehicle curb weights, emotionless turbocharged engines, and safety nets that are quick to scold any potential indiscretion. Fortunately, the 2020 Lamborghini Huracán Evo RWD has the antidote to each of those issues. And at an MSRP of $208,571, the RWD is roughly $53,000 less than its all-wheel drive counterpart, making it the most financially-accessible Lamborghini you can buy today. But rather than coming in like a bargain-basement version of the model you really want, the Evo RWD serves as a reminder that the driving experience will always be more important than figures on a spec sheet. As the name suggests, the primary difference between the standard Huracán Evo and the Evo RWD is that Lamborghini's latest entry sends the power exclusively through the rear-wheels rather than distributing it to all four corners. It still gets its motivation from a naturally aspirated 5.2-liter V10 – here making 610 horsepower and 413 pound-feet of torque – that wails like a banshee as the revs climb to its 8,500-rpm redline thanks to a center-mounted exhaust system cribbed from the Performante. A seven-speed dual clutch transmission still offers near-instantaneous gear changes. Though it's down about twenty horsepower versus the all-wheel drive Huracán Evo, the RWD coupe is 73 pounds lighter without the front differential hardware, and that equates to a 0-to-62-mph sprint in 3.3 seconds on the way to a top speed of over 200 miles per hour. So it's not exactly a slouch. There are other important distinctions between the Evo RWD and the standard Evo, though. Without an all-wheel drive system to contend with, engineers swapped the predictive Lamborghini Vehicle Dynamics Integration (LVDI) system for the new, specially developed Performance Traction Control System (P-TCS). Torque vectoring is off the table since power isn't going to the front wheels, and the rear-steering system that debuted in the standard Evo is also missing. “We wanted to get back to the purest driving emotion,” says Alessandro Farmeschi, Lamborghini's Americas Region CEO. “It's an unfiltered experience – you need to rely on your senses and instinct.” To get a better understanding of what Farmeschi is driving at, Lamborghini invited us out to Willow Springs International Raceway to put the Evo RWD coupe through its paces on a closed course and take the Evo RWD Spyder for a spin on the streets and highways neighboring the track. We started our initial track session in Strada, the Huracán's most street-friendly driving mode. Even though the main focus of the first few laps was to get re-acclimated to the course layout, we noticed the absence of the standard Evo's rear-steering system almost immediately. Our first stint in the standard Huracán Evo was at this same track last year, and at the time we noted that system made the car feel like it was crab-walking around long sweepers like Turn 2. Though the Evo RWD might require a bit more steering input to keep the same line at a similar pace (and thus run out of grip a moment sooner), cornering at speed feels much more natural without rear-wheel steer, which often works in concert with the torque vectoring system in at-the-limit situations. Switching to Sport mode enhances the sensation further, as Lamborghini programmed it to allow for more oversteer than both Strada and the track-focused Corsa mode – the latter mode wants to keep your line tidy to ensure your laps are as quick as possible. “In Sport mode, we're able to achieve a perfect percent of oversteer with constant throttle,” says Lamborghini's chief technical officer, Maurizio Reggiani. “And that gives you the perception that you have the full functionality of the car under control.” It's not a “drift mode,” though; on the skid pad, Lamborghini instructors showed us that the system will immediately put the kibosh on donuts and other low-speed hijinks, resulting in little more than understeer. On the track, however, Sport allows for enough rotation at pace to keep things plenty lively before it steps in to save overly-ambitious drivers from themselves. Switching to Corsa mode and turning off traction control via th Also aiding the Evo RWD's track-worthiness is a heavily revised aero package that equates to a 73-percent increase in downforce versus the outgoing rear-drive Huracán. This tangible improvement in stability makes itself known as the speedometer approaches 160 mph and even more so when scrubbing off speed with a loaded-up front end. For those looking for the aforementioned parking-lot shenanigans (or truly unfiltered access to the car's mechanical capability), switching to Corsa mode and turning off traction control via the button on the console is the ticket. But beware: you're truly on your own here, and this ain't no Mustang – you'll need fast hands and feet if you want an unchained rear-drive Huracán to be an obedient dance partner. After wrapping up our sessions on the road course and skid pad, we hopped behind the wheel of an Arancio Borealis-hued Spyder and hit the road to find out what the drop-top Evo RWD is like to live with in “everyday” motoring. It's here where important elements that often go unnoticed on the track come into greater focus, like the updated infotainment system and the comfort of the optional Sport seats, both of which first debuted in the standard Huracán Evo. We still wish the former had a physical volume knob; multi-touch gesture functions address this to some degree, but there is a bit of a learning curve, and adjustments are never quite as precise as you hope they will be. Occasional input response hiccups aside, the 8.4-inch touchscreen infotainment system is still a huge leap forward from the system in the outgoing rear-wheel drive Huracán. And yes, it has Apple CarPlay. In terms of the buckets, the Sport seat looks the coolest of the three seat options, but it essentially splits the difference between the standard seat and the Race seat in terms of luxury and performance. That equates to slightly compromised comfort out on the road, and not enough headroom with a helmet on for your six-foot, three-inch author in the fixed-roof car. Given that, we'd opt for the standard seats in the Spyder and the Race seats in the coupe. At $229,428, the Spyder commands a $21,000 premium over the fixed-roof car, and for that you get a top that stows in 17 seconds at up to 31 miles per hour and uninhibited access to the glorious sounds of that V10. Performance purists may scoff at the 260 pounds of added weight that the Spyder brings to the table due to required structural enhancements, but there's never a moment where the drop top feels even remotely out of its depth in the real world. Aside from losing half a step in the sprint to 60 mph, it's hard to see why someone would opt for the all-wheel-drive car over the Evo RWD. The platform's limits are so high that the standard Huracán Evo's all-wheel-drive system rarely plays a pivotal role out on the street – at the track, the relative simplicity of the RWD model makes it the more earnest driver's car of the two. But if you're still feeling a bit uneasy about forfeiting the additional performance offered by standard Huracán Evo, consider spending some of the fifty grand you'd save on a racing school. The driver mod has got to be good for a few tenths.

Rafael Nadal maintained his grip on the French Open by reaching another men's singles final - where he will face top seed Novak Djokovic on Sunday. Spanish second seed Nadal is going for a record-extending 13th title and won 6-3 6-3 7-6 (7-0) against Argentina's Diego Schwartzman in his semi-final. Nadal, 34, has only lost twice on the Roland Garros clay in his career. Djokovic is one of the men to beat him and set up another chance by overcoming Greek fifth seed Stefanos Tsitsipas. The 33-year-old Serb showed his resilience to win 6-3 6-2 5-7 4-6 6-1 against 22-year-old Tsitsipas, who was aiming to reach his first Grand Slam final. Now Djokovic will meet Nadal for the 56th time in their careers - no two men have played each other more - and will contest their ninth Grand Slam final against each other. If Nadal lifts the Coupe des Mousquetaires trophy yet again, it will see him equal Swiss rival Roger Federer's all-time leading record of 20 men's Grand Slam titles. Djokovic, meanwhile, knows a victory will move him to 18 major titles - within one more of Nadal and two adrift of 39-year-old Federer. Djokovic edges past Tsitsipas in five-set thriller Relive live coverage of Djokovic v Tsitsipas semi-final GB's Reid & Hewett complete clean sweep of titles Nadal provides a sense of familiarity at an unfamiliar French Open Everything is unfamiliar about this French Open: the tournament taking place in cooler weather after being moved because of the coronavirus pandemic, a new roof over Court Philippe Chatrier, floodlit matches going long into the night and a sparse, restricted crowd of up to 1,000 fans. Nadal working his way through the draw into the final without too many bumps is one of the few constants. Heading into the tournament, Nadal said a lack of usual preparation for his favourite Grand Slam, the autumnal conditions in Paris and a heavier new ball provided him with the "toughest test" which he had ever faced at Roland Garros. Aside from a tricky start against Italian teenager Jannik Sinner in the quarter-finals, it has actually been smooth progress for the Spaniard, who has yet to drop a set over the fortnight. Schwartzman was the first seed which Nadal had faced in the tournament and, despite dropping serve in a tentative start and then twice more in a nervy finish, never looked in danger of losing in the Roland Garros last four for the first time. Between those moments where he was troubled, Nadal started to find greater rhythm and depth with his groundstrokes, with his feared forehand looking particularly potent. That shot came to his rescue when he needed it most in a scrap of a third set, landing three winners from that side to fight back from 40-15 down, overcoming four deuces, and hold for a 6-5 lead. Nadal went from looking slightly hesitant to supremely confident as a result, deflating Schwartzman as the tie-break - and the match - quickly slipped out of his grasp. "It is always very difficult against Diego until the end," said Nadal. "I am happy with the way I played, I think I have been improving and it was a very positive match for me. "I needed to be a little bit more aggressive in the third set when I had the score in my favour. "I lost couple of opportunities there to close the match before and to not suffer like I suffered at the end." There will be concerns for the Spaniard, however. Loose volleys and a barrage of unforced errors - during a spell in the third set where the players exchanged four successive breaks - showed some vulnerability. A truer test of the 19-time major champion's real level will come on Sunday when Djokovic stands on the opposite side of the net. "The only thing I know is to play against Novak, I need to play my best," said Nadal. "Without playing my best tennis, the situation is very difficult. "I know I have to make a step forward. I think I did one today. But for Sunday it is not enough. I need to make another one."

After the disaster involving scalpers and bots snagging Founders Edition RTX 3080s and RTX 3090s from Nvidia's online store, Nvidia has halted sales completely for its online store and redirected Founders Edition units toward Best Buy alone. Supposedly Nvidia is updating the store to prevent bots and scalpers from grabbing cards in the future. Here is Nvidia's word on the matter: We have heard your feedback regarding the NVIDIA online store and are working to improve the experience. In the meantime, we will be selling our GeForce RTX 3080 and RTX 3090 Founders Edition through other partners. In the US, you can shop for Founders Edition at Best Buy – GeForce RTX 3080 and GeForce RTX 3090. In Europe, we continue to review Founders Edition fulfillment options. Fortunately, the shutdown only applies to Nvidia's online store and its own Founders Edition cards. But good luck trying to find them at Best Buy as (at the time of writing) they have none in stock. This has been a common problem for all computer retail stores, as Nvidia is simply struggling to keep Ampere GPUs stocked up and says supply may not meet demand until early 2021.

NordVPN has decided to move its business VPN solution, NordVPN Teams, to the US in an effort to better fulfill the requirements of enterprise users. The company and many other VPN providers such as ExpressVPN, are incorporated outside of the US, Australia, Canada, New Zealand and other Western countries in order to avoid being under the jurisdiction of the Fourteen Eyes intelligence sharing pact. The reason for this is that members of this agreement could potentially use its terms to circumvent the laws that prohibit the surveillance of citizens. If a VPN company's operations are located in a country that is part of the Fourteen Eyes agreement, it could be forced into sharing information about its users with that country's government. We've put together a list of the best secure VPN providers around These are the best business VPN solutions on the market Secure your entire network with one of the best VPN routers While NordVPN Teams has moved to the US, a spokesperson for NordVPN assured TechRadar Pro in an email that its consumer VPN solution will stay under the jurisdiction of Panama where there are no mandatory data retention laws, thus keeping the online activities of its customers away from prying eyes. Moving to the US In a notification to NordVPN Teams users, the company explained that Tefincom S.A. Will transfer its rights and obligations to Nord Security Inc. which is incorporated in the US. While consumers tend to use VPN services to better protect their privacy online, enterprises often deploy them for additional security and to allow their remote workers to access company resources and networks securely. Overall, users of NordVPN's business VPN solution won't notice much a difference except for the fact that the address, bank code and wire transfer number has changed for sending payments over wire transfer to the company.

Looks like the chapter on Amazon Games' Crucible is coming to a close. Developer Relentless Studios is shuttering the game after its short-lived lifespan of a few months. "We'll be discontinuing development on Crucible," Relentless Studios wrote in a blog post. "We very much appreciate the way that our fans have rallied around our efforts, and we've loved seeing your responses to the changes we've made over the last few months, but ultimately we didn't see a healthy, sustainable future ahead of Crucible." Currently, servers for custom games will continue to remain live. But even those will shut down on November 9 at 12 PM PT / 3 PM ET. All credit purchases are being disabled and refunds will be made to anyone who's already made any in-game purchases in Crucible. With Crucible soon to be dead-and-buried, Relentless Studios will focus its efforts on New World as well as "other upcoming projects" for Amazon Games. Originally scheduled to release earlier this year, New World has been delayed to Spring 2021. Crucible had a rather unusual release cycle. First existing in closed beta, the game officially launched and was met with mostly mediocre reviews. In GameSpot's Crucible review, for example, Alessandro Barbosa gave the game a 5/10, writing, "[Crucible's] enticing characters and their occasionally exhilarating abilities are undermined by the unsatisfying third-person shooting underpinning them." Relentless Studios decided to "unlaunch" the game following its poor reception, reverting Crucible to closed beta. It was set to eventually relaunch down the line, but apparently that's no longer the case.

Toyota patrons and SUV fans, drop what you're doing because we've got news for you. Apparently, the Japanese automaker is killing off the Land Cruiser soon. However, take this with a healthy dash of salt or put the whole canister even, as nothing has been confirmed at this point. The news came from Motor Authority, which cited a now-deleted post on IH8MUD.com – a website and forum for everything Land Cruiser. According to the post, Toyota will discontinue the Land Cruiser nameplate after the 2021 model year, while the Lexus LX will live on but with a turbo V6 instead of the current 5.7-liter V8. Motor Authority also cited a dealer source confirming the rumor, who said that "there's no illusion it's coming back and it's completely dead for the moment." The source wishes to remain anonymous for obvious reasons. The same source also told the publication that for the 2021 model year, the Land Cruiser Heritage Edition will return with a third row. This special LC was introduced at the Chicago Auto Show in 2019 for the 2020 model year, with a price tag that hovers around the $80,000 mark. While the rumor is completely unconfirmed by the automaker at the time of this writing, it isn't quite unfounded based on the Land Cruiser's age. Of note, the current J200 generation has been around since 2007, with no concrete reports of a successor. It made do with only numerous facelifts to keep the styling fresh and attractive for the SUV-hungry market. We'll know more if this report holds true in the months or years to come but for what it's worth, we sure do hope we got this one wrong for the iconic nameplate's sake.

England manager Gareth Southgate was finally left with the right sort of headache after Wales were comfortably dismissed in a friendly at Wembley. It has not been the easiest of years for Southgate, the carefully-cultivated image of his squad dented by a series of off-field incidents bolted on to some decidedly colourless performances on England's return after the coronavirus lockdown. England needed a lift - and it came here in bundles amid the surreal atmosphere of an empty Wembley. Southgate's 12 months of unwanted distractions started with dropping Raheem Sterling after his altercation with Joe Gomez at St George's Park, and later saw him withdraw Harry Maguire from a squad after the defender's arrest in Greece. He also had to send Phil Foden and Mason Greenwood home for breaching Covid-19 guidelines in Iceland, and just this week excluded Tammy Abraham, Ben Chilwell and Jadon Sancho for failing to follow government rules in the build-up to the Wales match. Southgate deserved a chance to finally talk about good things in his England camp and he was given plenty to go at here, not least a debut goal for Dominic Calvert-Lewin and a thrilling display by Jack Grealish. And to add to Southgate's pleasure, it was all done with an inexperienced England side, with the starting XI having just 54 caps between them. Match report: England 3-0 Wales Grealish tops your ratings Complete Calvert-Lewin Calvert-Lewin is on a golden streak and looking every inch the complete striker. Against Wales he capped a fine all-round display with his 10th goal of the season, powering home a header from Grealish's cross. Even though he is only 23, England have held high hopes for the Sheffield-born striker from as far back as 2017, when he scored the winner in the Under-20 World Cup final against Venezuela. It has not all been plain sailing but Calvert-Lewin is now bursting with confidence and carrying serious menace every time he plays. His attitude has never been in question but under the guidance of Everton manager Carlo Ancelotti and assistant Duncan Ferguson, he has matured out of all recognition and is now an ever-present goal threat, curing the one major flaw in his game until recent months. The decision to rest captain Harry Kane, along with the absence of Greenwood, Abraham and Sancho, cleared the way for Calvert-Lewin to lead the England line, and he seized his chance in style. Calvert-Lewin has muscled his way into contention, not as a rival to Kane but as a very talented alternative. Danny Ings, too, was impressive, scoring with an overhead kick to underline England's strength up front, which also includes options such as Marcus Rashford and the injured Sterling. This is the sort of problem Southgate will welcome. It is an embarrassment of riches. Grealish finally convinces England's other big winner was Grealish, who for a long time was seemingly struggling to convince Southgate of his worth at international level. The Villa playmaker was only called into the squad for the first time for the Nations League games against Iceland and Denmark after the withdrawals of Harry Winks and Rashford. Grealish gave a lively 14-minute cameo in Copenhagen but here he was in his element against an admittedly under-strength Wales, creating problems everywhere for Ryan Giggs' side as a goal creator, winning free-kicks in danger areas and showing the sort of confidence he has been displaying in the past two seasons at Aston Villa and in their flawless start to this campaign. It remains to be seen, like Calvert-Lewin, how his immediate England future plays out, but this is the sort of performance that will surely mean his place in the squad is now assured. Southgate will have enjoyed other aspects of the performance too, from Arsenal teenager Bukayo Saka's lively debut to a first England goal and another highly intelligent performance from Ings, whose strike was a masterpiece of technique and athleticism. Burnley's Nick Pope was assured in goal, delivering a reminder that he is there should Jordan Pickford's erratic Everton form transfer to England. For now Pickford retains Southgate's trust because he has never let his international manager down. Leeds United's Kalvin Phillips was assured in midfield while even Southgate's smile was outstripped by that of Conor Coady. Has there ever been a more delighted-looking England goalscorer than the Wolverhampton Wanderers captain as he swept home Kieran Trippier's free-kick? It was a wonderful moment for the defender who rarely troubles the opposition goal, only having one shot in his previous 156 games for Wolves. It was a goal taken with assurance. This was a good night for England and Southgate but now they face the sort of test that has floored them in the past when Belgium, number one in Fifa's world rankings, come to Wembley in the Nations League. Belgium will be a far more realistic measure of this England side, but reflections on this victory can only be positive ones and no-one will be more grateful for that than Southgate.

US President Donald Trump has completed his course of treatment for Covid-19 and can return to public engagements this weekend, his physician has said. Dr Sean Conley said the president had responded "extremely well" to medication and had "remained stable". Mr Trump later said he would probably take another Covid test on Friday and hoped to hold a rally over the weekend. The president earlier pulled out of next Thursday's TV debate with Democratic rival Joe Biden. He said he was "not going to waste my time on a virtual debate" after organisers said it would have to take place remotely because Mr Trump had tested positive for coronavirus. The move sparked a row about how and when further debates would take place. Meanwhile, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, the most powerful Democrat in Washington, said serious questions concerning Mr Trump's health were still unanswered. She said she planned to introduce legislation on Friday to establish a commission to assess the president's fitness for office and "help ensure effective and uninterrupted leadership". A statement announcing the move said the commission would be set up under the 25th Amendment, which outlines how a sitting president can be stripped of power if they are deemed unable to conduct the duties of the office. Mr Trump responded to the announcement on Twitter, calling Ms Pelosi "crazy". What's the latest on Trump's health? In a memo released by the White House on Thursday evening, Dr Conley said Mr Trump was displaying no signs "to suggest progression of illness". "Saturday will be day 10 since [last] Thursday's diagnosis, and based on the trajectory of advanced diagnostics the team has been conducting, I fully anticipate the president's safe return to public engagements at that time," the memo added. Dr Sean Conley: Who is Donald Trump's physician? Earlier, Dr Conley said that if the president's condition remained the same or improved throughout the weekend and into Monday, "we will all take that final, deep sigh of relief". Speaking to Fox News late on Thursday, Mr Trump said he was feeling "really good" and hoped to hold a campaign rally on Saturday evening, possibly in Florida. How did the debate row unfold? It began with the Commission on Presidential Debates announcing candidates would take part in the Miami debate on 15 October "from separate remote locations... to protect the health and safety of all involved". This infuriated the president who, in a phone-in interview with Fox Business Channel, said he was not prepared to "sit behind a computer, ridiculous". Mr Biden said the president "changed his mind every second" and his campaign team added that Mr Trump "clearly does not want to face questions from the voters". The Trump campaign answered back, with manager Bill Stepien saying the commission's decision to "rush to Joe Biden's defence" was "pathetic," adding that Mr Trump would hold a rally instead on the same date. The Biden team then proposed the town-hall style debate, set for Miami, should go ahead on 22 October instead. This brought a brief moment of agreement, on the date at le However, the Trump team said there should be a third face-to-face debate - on 29 October, just five days before polling. But the Biden team said that debates could only be scheduled on the three dates already agreed: 29 September, 15 October and 22 October. On 15 October, Mr Biden will now take part in his own primetime event on ABC answering questions from voters. Quite what format any Biden-Trump debate takes now is hard to pin down. US election 2020: Who is ahead - Trump or Biden? What did we learn from the VP debate? The first presidential debate on 29 September had descended into insults and interruptions. The vice-presidential debate, held on Wednesday night between Mike Pence and Kamala Harris, was a far more measured affair. The US election will be held on 3 November. Latest opinion polls suggest Mr Biden has a steady single-digit lead in the handful of key US states that will decide who wins the White House. Six million ballots have already been cast in early voting. What else did Trump say on Fox? Addressing the issue of his health, Mr Trump said: "I'm back because I'm a perfect physical specimen." Who has Trump met and who's tested positive? He said he had stopped taking most "therapeutics" but was still taking steroids and would be tested for Covid again "soon". ast. But although his doctor has said he now has no symptoms, questions still remain about when the president first became infected and whether he could still be contagious. And although the names of many people who have interacted with the president and tested positive are now known, it remains unclear just how many were exposed at the White House. New Covid safety measures are in place there.

In what could be a move to broden its attack on rival chipmakers Intel and Nvidia, the Wall Street Journal reports that AMD is in advanced talks to buy FPGA-maker Xilinx in a deal that could top $30 billion. The talks are said to have resumed after a recent pause, so it's unclear if they will result in a successful acquisition, but a decision could come as early as next week. We've reached out to AMD for comment and will update accordingly. Xilinx is primarily known for its FPGA products. The two companies have a history of working in close collaboration on deep learning projects, such as the Xilinx deep learning solution on AMD EPYC processors (among many other pursuits). FPGAs (Field Programmable Gate Arrays) are semiconductor devices that can be rapidly reconfigured on the fly. They offer certain advantages over other types of devices, like CPUs and GPUs, in a wide variety of workloads. Xilinx has a full spate of cutting-edge tech under its roof. Its latest 7nm Versal Premium ACAPs feature the PCIe 5.0 interface and support the CXL interconnect, 112G transceivers, 600G ethernet cores, and 123 TBps of bandwidth across its network-on-chip (NOC). You can read the full details of the company's APAC platform here. Bringing Xilinx's technology portfolio into AMD's war chest could enable tightly-integrated CPU+FPGA solutions that would fit well within AMD's current chiplet-inspired design methodologies. It's easy to envision future EPYC data center processors with integrated FPGA chiplets to boost AI workload performance. Xilinx's broad technology pallet includes leading-edge connectivity options that could also serve as a backbone for more expansive data center architectures. AMD would certainly have plenty of options with Xilinx under its roof; the FPGA maker currently engages in the automotive, aerospace and defense, data center, HPC, industrial, IoT, and communications markets. The firm also has deep experience in software development/enablement. Notably, Intel purchased Xilinx's main rival, FPGA-maker Altera, for $16.7 billion in 2015, and has integrated the company into its Programmable Solutions Group (PSG). If the reported AMD purchase of Xilinx goes through, it will certainly open up another front in its attack on Intel's broad TAM. You can see the full roster of Intel's AgileX FPGAs that come as a result of the Xilinx acquisition here. The AMD news comes in the wake of Nvidia's ongoing efforts to purchase ARM for $40 billion and could mark yet another big deal during an ongoing wave of industry consolidation. Xilinx also has a solid portfolio of SmartNic/DPUs that would serve as a nice AMD parry to Nvidia's DPU thrust that comes as the fruits of its Mellanox acquisition. The WSJ reports that AMD will likely leverage its high stock valuation, it now has a $100 billion market cap, as currency to purchase Xilinx. This is breaking news..updates to come.

A vulnerability has been discovered in Hotspot Shield's Windows VPN client that could allow for privilege escalation if exploited by an attacker. The vulnerability, tracked as CVE-2020-17365, was discovered by researcher Chen Erlich at the security firm Cympton and it is the result of improper directory permissions in versions 10.3.0 and earlier of the HotSpot Shield's VPN client for Windows. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to corrupt system files by creating a specially crafted symbolic link to a critical file on a user's system and overwrite it with privileges of the application. We've put together a list of the best antivirus software around Secure your entire network with one of the best VPN routers We've also highlighted the best Windows 10 VPN Privilege escalation vulnerability In a security update page on its site, Hotspot Shield's parent company Pango explained that a vulnerability was initially reported in the VPN company's 10.0.1 Windows client. The Hotspot Shield Service has system level privileges and writes log files into the folder with local user permissions. As a result of this, removing the folder and abusing NTFS junctions can allow an unprivileged user to write to any file on the file system with SYSTEM privileges. In a blog post about the privilege escalation vulnerability he discovered, Erlich explained how to mitigate it, saying: “This vulnerability can be mitigated by applying accurate ACL permissions to any location where actions are performed by privileged processes, including C:\ProgramData\Hotspot Shield\logs.” Thankfully though, HotSpot Shield users won't have to do this as the company has released an updated version of its Windows client (version 10.6.0) that patches the vulnerability.
