But a DNA test quickly confirmed that man detained in Glasgow on Friday evening was not, in fact, Dupont de Ligonnès, adding yet another ripple to the eight-year mystery surrounding the aristocrat’s disappearance. Though France officially banned social classes in the late 1700s during the French Revolution, many families still trace their ancestry back to “noble” beginnings. De Ligonnès was one of them. He would have been a count in France’s bygone aristocracy, a fact he reportedly alluded to in an email in which he called himself part of the country’s elite and wrote: “I think I’ve got a superiority complex, you could call it that....

Nadal’s remarkable record of Roland Garros success continued courtesy of an astonishing 6-0 6-2 7-5 win against the world number one on Philippe Chatrier. Thirteen of the Spaniard’s major triumphs have come on the red clay in Paris, where he has lost only twice - never in a final and not at all since the last eight in 2015 against Djokovic. A 999th top-level victory and 100th at this event never looked to be in doubt as Nadal seized control from the outset to win the French Open without dropping a set across the tournament for the fourth time....

Considering the popularity of Friday Night Funkin in its current state it only makes sense for a Kickstarter campaign to be launched for a full version. The campaign was created by the game’s team made up of Ninjamuffin99, PhantomArcade, KawaiSprite, and EvilSk8r with a goal of $60,000 USD. This goal however was quickly smashed with there currently being over $500,000 USD in pledges at the time of this writing....

The main issue it will be addressing are the memory leaks that are causing the game to crash. It will also eliminate certain exploits currently being abused by some players, such as a crouch glitch that is being used to access parts of the map that should be off-limits. Players should no longer be able to use the glitch to get onto roofs and enter hidden areas. There are also few other spots that have been patched up to prevent users from getting to places Jason can’t access....

Even without Max Scherzer for all but one game over the past month-plus, even with recurring bullpen issues, even though they dug themselves quite a hole, the Nationals are suddenly 65-55 — 10 games over .500 for the first time in 14 months. What’s more, they’re leading the NL wild-card standings as they head into Friday’s opener of a three-game series against one of the clubs chasing them for a playoff berth: reigning league MVP Christian Yelich and the Milwaukee Brewers....

At times dismissed for being trivial or a less valuable artistic expression, romantic comedies have commanded audiences for centuries – even Shakespeare got in on the action. His 16th-century play Much Ado About Nothing showcases the key plot of the genre: a series of antics make two people, who thought they weren’t meant to fall in love, realize they should be together. Sure, someone rarely rushes into a New Year’s Eve party just before midnight to tell their best friend they love them, and waiting at the top of the Empire State Building on Valentine’s Day is more likely to result in pneumonia than true love....

While some of these characters like Jonesy or even Slone have played a crucial role and been brought back on numerous occasions, others have been killed off, making their return to the game impossible. This article will talk about four fan-favorite Fortnite characters who are no longer in the game. 4 Fortnite characters who are dead Bush Ranger Chapter 2 saw the arrival of Bushranger, a shy, innocent character.

Interestingly, Smith’s post on Instagram features a collage of photos with a picture of him celebrating with Dhoni in the IPL placed first, clearly giving out a message that he is on good terms with Dhoni. Next, in line, is Smith pictured alongside the great Dalai Lama when the Australian team paid a visit to the spiritual leader at Dharamsala. The collage of photos also captures one of the many moments when he celebrated after destroying India with the bat as well as the highly amusing incident involving Wriddhiman Saha that was one of the few instances during the Test series that drew laughs from all parties....

So who will eventually be chosen to replace the late Alex Trebek? The rotating roster of guest hosts has provided a number of auditions for the hopefuls with the opportunity to flex their quiz show host skills. Executive producer and showrunner Mike Richards confirmed that the highly anticipated decision will be made before the next season begins taping this summer. “You want to make an informed decision,” Richards said on The Journal podcast....

The Blaugrana lost their Liga crown to Los Blancos last season and were also forced to watch on as Zinedine Zidane’s men retained their Champions League crown, but this summer has seen the Catalan club embarrassed further by failing to secure their top transfer targets, losing Neymar to Paris Saint-Germain and announcing Lionel Messi’s new contract before it has even been signed. Alaves 10/1 to beat Barcelona Barca announced on Tuesday that they are to sue Neymar for breach of contract following his €222 million move to PSG....

B et on Barca to win La Liga Although yet to reach his peak, Neymar is one of the finest footballers to have pulled on the famous Blaugrana shirt. And perhaps that is why Barcelona’s fans are so upset at his defection to Paris Saint-Germain. Figo, too, was wonderful as a Barca player - but he is a persona non grata at Camp Nou these days. When Barca reached the Champions League final in 2015, Figo was picked by UEFA to turn out for a Blaugrana legends side in a friendly match ahead of the showpiece against Juventus in Berlin, but the Catalan club asked for the Portuguese to be blocked from representing their team and their request was granted....

The catch? You must first provide Free-PC with a load of personal information: household income, kids’ birthdays, the magazines you read, your interest in everything from gardening to astrology. In theory, these facts will help determine the mix of ads and offers that will constantly occupy the bottom and right side of your computer screen. As a Free-PC user, you don’t have the ability to control that part of the display....

After returning to the court in February after almost one year of inactivity, the 2009 US Open winner is currently ranked 339 in the world. However, he will appear in the Paris tournament list in the seventh place which he held two years ago before he injured his wrist, reports Xinhua. The protected ranking system, which averages the player’s position in the three months after an injury, will allow Del Potro, 27, to avoid having to play in the qualifying rounds at Roland Garros....

Nadal’s impeccable numbers on the Parisian clay are staggering, and the fans keep turning up in huge numbers year after year to support their beloved hero and role model. In return the Spaniard lives up to their expectations, repaying their faith in him almost every time he plays on the red dirt of Paris - he has won the French Open 11 times so far.

While many gamers have fond memories of fighting back against the towering killer in the beloved Friday the 13th game for the NES, the fact is that the game wasn’t very accurate to the movies. But veteran developer Randy Greenback and the team at Gun Media are looking to give Jason the video game adaption he deserves with Friday the 13th: The Game. Going live on Kickstarter today, Friday the 13th: The Game is looking to capture the feeling of the classic ’80s slasher movies by pitting the hapless counselors of Camp Crystal Lake against the relentless murder machine that is Jason Voorhees....

We’re not talking about the continual dirge of the Coldplays of the world, or the all-singing-all-dancing direction of (almost) every Ryan Murphy flick ever, we mean those truly iconic artists who make you feel every note and word as if it were meant just for you, whose every new release feels like you’re coming home, even if the furniture has moved about. One such filmmaker is Wes Anderson, an eccentric 52-year-old Texan with a penchant for symmetry, color blocking and pantsuits....

Till the 70s and 80s, Indian cricketers were paid modestly, and used to travel via humble means like trains for cricket tournaments. All that changed as the sport’s popularity grew in India in the 90s, leading to the commercialisation of cricket. Modern-day Indian cricketers can earn handsome pay even by taking part in the IPL or playing any of the three formats of the sport for India. One thing that remains common, though, is the story of hardships many Indian cricketers have to endure before getting the big break....

The Liverpool defender now had a World Cup final to look forward to. Like his brother Davor, he would have a duel against Kylian Mbappe. The younger Lovren came up against the unstoppable France forward during the Under-19 European Championship two years ago. Predictably, Mbappe scored. But thoughts of France and Mbappe could wait. Lovren had something to get off his chest. “Especially after everything that’s been said before the game about us, we showed our character and we showed we deserved to be in the final," he said....
