Alexandra Medina, 33, died during a liposuction procedure at a clinic in Santo Domingo in early July, CBS New York reported. Medina’s sister, Maxine David, said the young woman wanted to get plastic surgery in the U.S., but was told by doctors she needed to lose weight before they could operate.

A consecutive century by Ross Taylor powered the hosts to 303/5 in their 50 overs after being put in to bat. But the visitors could only manage 216 and were bowled out with two balls to spare. Pacer Matt Henry impressed on debut, taking 4/38 in 10 overs. The loss meant India lost their second overseas series in a row after going down in South Africa. The hosts struggled at the start against pacers Mohammed Shami (1/61) and Bhuvneshwar Kumar (1/48)....

New Zealand are the table-toppers in Group 1. They have played four games so far, winning two and losing one, with one being washed out due to rain.

The Spain Under-21 international joined Rafael Benitez’s men on loan from Borussia Dortmund ahead of the current campaign, having struggled to make an impression at Signa Iduna Park. But Merino has quickly won a place in the Newcastle side - starting six of their seven Premier League games - and they have now activated a clause to seal his signing on a five-year deal. “I’m really happy to be here and for this part of the contract to finally be official,” Merino told the club’s official website....

There’s a new wrinkle in the battle, as CompareMyMobile has done a recent study regarding whether iPhone or Android users make better relationship partners.

Of course, there’s more to the data than that simple conclusion, so let’s dive in a little deeper and take a look....

In a step toward building better quantum machines, researchers at Oak Ridge National Laboratory recently measured the electrical current between an atomically sharp metallic tip and a superconductor. This new method can find linked electrons with extreme precision in a move that could help detect new kinds of superconductors, which have no electrical resistance. “Superconducting circuits are the current front-runner for building quantum bits (qubits) and quantum gates in hardware,” Toby Cubitt, the director of Phasecraft, a company that builds algorithms for quantum applications, told Lifewire in an email interview....

As video conferencing has become a significant part of the workday, technology has raced to catch up. Cameras are getting better, but not as fast as the software that uses them. Apps like Reincubate’s Camo let you use pretty much any camera, including the amazing ones right inside your phone, as webcams. Apple has built automatic background blurring into the latest versions of iOS, and soundscaping techniques remove background noise....

Highlighted by video game historian Liam Robertson on Twitter, Crystal Dynamics managed to hide a fairly big piece of Tomb Raider information in plain sight in its official announcement letter. Taking the first letter of each sentence, the studio cleverly managed to hide the word Shadow. For many fans, this revelation essentially confirms the next game to be the long-rumored title, Shadow of the Tomb Raider. Earlier this year, leaked information hit the internet all pertaining to documents and concept art for an unannounced game called Shadow of the Tomb Raider....

Coach Vlatko Andonovski took only two players over 30 on the trip Down Under and only six with more than 25 international appearances. He deployed young veterans Lindsey Horan and Rose Lavelle at the center of midfield to drive the attack, but most everyone on the field carried little international experience into the two games. And the kids were a smash. MORE: Fresh faces kick off new era with a win in Australia...

In its current state, the Battle Royale title has become a tad unplayable. A new bug was spotted on the Rebirth Island map where players were getting blinded while trying to pick up floor loot. Flash bangs and concussion nades are very problematic for players as they hinder visual and sound cues. However, if a glitch keeps blinding players, it ruins the experience of the game. Multiple players have spotted this glitch where their entire screen is taken over by a white flash whenever they approach floor loot on Rebirth Island....

In Marvel Comics lore, the Watchers are an alien species that’s almost as old as the universe and they are known for sitting on the sidelines without doing anything to intervene with the normal flow of things, unlike Loki’s version of Kang the Conqueror. While such a character would be perfectly at home showing up in Loki, the latest trailer for What If…? features The Watcher’s voice in the background to confirm Marvel Studios would rather keep this intergalactic voyeur in animated format....

The Witcher: Monster Slayer tasks players with tracking the creatures of the Continent and killing them with a sword within augmented reality. The premise seems similar to Pokemon GO’s gameplay loop, only with players killing what they find instead of capturing it. Monster Slayer will be taking after the popular mobile game with the addition of location-based creatures. That means that different monsters will be found at different areas of the world, a gimmick that could prove incredibly successful and work well with the concept of truly hunting for the monsters....

RELATED: Beginner Tips For New World There are no classes or racial choices to be made in New World. A character’s class is determined over time by their weapons of choice, fighting style, and ability scores, and all of the races are human or variants of humans.

There is a variety of these, not including the animals that also roam freely in the wilds, and it helps to know where to find them and how to slay them....

RELATED: New World Suggestion Would Be Great Improvement for the Map New World GPU Issues in the Beta It didn’t take more than a day after the last New World beta for reports to pile in regarding various technical issues. These even began at the New World menu because its frames-per-second wasn’t capped. This led to weird noises, hot GPUs, game crashes, and more. They expanded beyond the menu, with the 2060-3080s reportedly making the game unplayable or, at worst, seriously damaging these GPUS....

A team from the Scripps Institution of Oceanography at the University of California San Diego collected the animals, known as “scale worms,” at depths of more than 3,000 feet in the waters of the Gulf of Mexico, and parts of the eastern Pacific Ocean, including the Monterey Canyon, the Gulf of California and Costa Rica, according to a study published in the journal ZooKeys. The bizarre creatures—colloquially known as “Elvis worms” due to their shiny scales reminiscent of the King of Rock’s famous sequined suits—are distant relatives of earthworms that are found in soil all over the world....

Fans were offered the chance to sign up for a service Microsoft dubbed the “Preview Program,” but the service still had plenty of bugs to work through. Namely, vocal fans spoke out against the decision to not list compatible 360 games through the Xbox One store, forcing gamers to either physically purchase or buy the games through the Xbox 360 store. But thanks to a new patch launching today, purchasing 360 games on the Xbox One just got a whole lot easier....
