Jimmy Butler scored a new playoff-career-high on Monday with 40 points, Goran Dragic had 27 points and the Miami Heat defeated the Milwaukee Bucks to take Game 1 of the Eastern Conference semifinals.
Butler scored 27 points alone in the second half, including 15 in the fourth quarter, to lead Miami to the 115-104 victory. Butler shot 13-of-20 from the field and made both of his 3-pointers as the Heat limited Giannis Antetokounmpo to 18 points.
While Butler and Dragic led the Heat, the team also received key contributions from Bam Adebayo and Tyler Herro. The rookie scored 11 points and drained a clutch 3-pointer with just a minute and a half left to help seal the win.
The Heat gave up 40 points to the Bucks in the first quarter but tightened up and limited Milwaukee to 64 points the rest of the way. Miami also held Antetokounmpo and Milwaukee to 24 points in the paint, down from their average of 43.6 per game in the playoffs.
Overall, the Heat outplayed the top-seeded Bucks in the first game as they improved to 5-0 in the playoffs after sweeping the Indiana Pacers in the first round. Herro showed once again that no moment is too big for him and came up with the clutch shot late.
Game 2 is scheduled to tip-off Wednesday at 6:30 p.m. ET on ESPN.

BlackRock malware is yet another threat that Android users have to worry about. This newly-discovered malware can attack a variety of different apps, stealing your information in the process.
Before you download another app, make sure you know what BlackRock malware is, and how you can protect yourself.
What Is BlackRock Android Malware?
In May 2020, security company, ThreatFabric, discovered a digital danger that affects Android devices: BlackRock malware.
However, analysts quickly discovered that BlackRock malware actually isn't a new threat. BlackRock malware stems from the leaked Xeres malware source code, which is a type of LokiBot banking Trojan.
Despite being based on a banking Trojan, BlackRock malware doesn't just affect banking apps. It also targets shopping, lifestyle, social, entertainment, and even dating apps. This widespread coverage makes it especially dangerous.
In fact, it has 337 apps on its target list, some of which you might use on a daily basis. Its target apps aren't limited to one country either---it tackles apps across Europe, North America, and Australia.
ThreatFabric displays the entire target list in its report. Some apps on its list include Gmail, Netflix, Snapchat, eBay, Twitter, TikTok, Facebook Messenger, PayPal, and more.
So far, BlackRock malware hasn't been found on the Google Play Store. It currently attacks apps downloaded from third-party sites, but this doesn't mean that BlackRock malware will never appear on the Google Play Store. Aggressive hackers can still find ways to bypass Google's security protocols.
How BlackRock Malware Steals Your Information
When BlackRock malware appears on your device, an unknowing user might never realize it. It uses a tactic known as an "overlay," which is a phony window that pops up over a legitimate app. The overlay blends in with the app, so it's difficult to tell whether the pop-up is part of the app or not.
The window will prompt you to enter your login information and credit card number before you can even start using the legitimate app. This allows it to get hold of your information right off the bat.
It infiltrates your device in the first place by getting Accessibility Services permissions. When you install an infected app, it'll prompt you to enable a fake Google Update. Accepting the "Google Update" allows it to intervene with your device.
If you aren't familiar with an Android's Accessibility feature, you should know that it's one of the most powerful functions on your device. It's meant to help Android owners with disabilities, but Accessibility Services can be used to hack your phone as well. This feature can automate a variety of tasks for the user, including tapping the screen, reading text aloud, and even creating captions.
Giving BlackRock permission to use Accessibility Services allows it to create the overlay you'll see when opening the target app. It also gives the malware additional abilities, as it will then proceed to use an Android DPC (device policy controller) to grant itself administrator privileges.
In other words, it doesn't just steal the sensitive information you type into its overlay---it can actually do much more than that. Not only can BlackRock intercept SMS messages, hide notifications, and lock your screen, but it can also engage in keylogging. That said, you definitely don't want this malware on your device.

As mentioned earlier, BlackRock hasn't yet been found on the Google Play Store. But just because it's currently attacking apps from third-party app stores, that doesn't mean that it'll never find its way to Google Play.
ThreatFabric states that it "can't yet predict how long BlackRock will be active on the threat landscape." In the meantime, it's important to keep some precautions in mind before downloading apps.
Why an Anti-Virus App Won't Cut It
It's not a bad idea to have an antivirus app on your smartphone, but unfortunately, an antivirus app won't stop the BlackRock malware. When BlackRock infiltrates your phone, it has a feature that blocks you from using an antivirus app.
As soon as you open an antivirus or an Android cleaner app, such as Avast, Kaspersky, McAfee, BitDefender, or Superb Cleaner, BlackRock will immediately redirect you to your Home screen. This prevents you from removing the malware using an antivirus app.
So, if you download a sketchy app from a third-party store, and think that an antivirus app will keep you safe from all threats, think again.
Check App Permissions
You should keep an eye on app permissions no matter how legit an app may seem. Some apps ask for permissions that have nothing to do with the core function of the app.
For example, a flashlight app obviously doesn't need access to your SMS messages. This is a sign that you should uninstall the app immediately.
Since BlackRock malware asks for Accessibility Services permissions, you'll want to look out for any apps that require that specific privilege. If an app is legitimately for disabled users, has good reviews, and is from the Google Play Store, you can likely trust granting the Accessibility Services permission. Otherwise, avoid giving that privilege to any apps that don't need it.
Only Download Apps From the Google Play Store
Google Play Protect was put in place to scan your installed apps for malware as soon as you download them, as well as scan them periodically once installed. Third-party app stores don't have this safety feature, so you're pretty much on your own in terms of security.
The lack of security protocols on third-party stores has allowed BlackRock malware to thrive. To lower your risk of encountering BlackRock malware, try to avoid third-party apps stores, and refrain from downloading APKs.
Keeping Your Android Device Safe
Hopefully, BlackRock malware will never hit the Google Play Store. There's really no telling if the actors behind BlackRock malware can find a loophole in Google's security policies, but if they succeed, BlackRock malware could accrue a substantial number of victims.
If BlackRock ever does get onto the Google Play Store, it wouldn't be too surprising. After all, several apps containing Joker malware still managed to make their way on the Google Play Store despite Google's strict security protocols.

FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. (AP) – Talent and community support have once again secured a win for a young Flagstaff graphic designer.
Alyssa Williams, 17, a senior at Flagstaff High School, will soon see her winning design on the move – on Arizona veteran special license plates.
“If it’s on a car and they travel, people will see it from all over the nation. I think that’s pretty crazy, just to imagine the people who will see my design,” Williams told the Arizona Daily Sun.
The Code Talker Seal Design Contest, an online competition hosted by the Arizona Department of Transportation and the Governor’s Office on Tribal Relations, asked Native American students to create a design to reflect the contributions made by Code Talkers from various tribal nations. The winner would be made into a license plate seal.
The license plate that will contain the Code Talker seal is one of seven veteran special license plates approved last year in an Arizona House bill to recognize veterans for their service in overseas conflicts.
Five student-created designs were selected by a committee and opened up to a public vote. Williams’ design – a uniformed Navajo Nation Code Talker in front of the silhouette of Monument Valley – won with 61% of more than 20,000 votes.
“The Code Talkers fought for our freedom, so now I can repay them by doing what I do best: freely creating art,” Williams said. “I wanted to make something to thank our nation’s heroes for their sacrifices. I wanted to return the favor.”
Last year, another of Williams’ designs – with help from community voters -- helped Flagstaff High win the nationwide Vans Custom Culture contest’s $75,000 grand prize for the school’s arts programs. It was the first year the school was able to compete in the contest and the first Arizona win for the decade-old contest in which students decorate two pairs of white Vans shoes to represent “Local Flavor” and “Off The Wall” styles.
Williams tackled local character with features such as aspen trees and Native American pottery designs, while classmate Nicole Dougherty focused on vibrant patterns and characters and mounted the shoes to roller skate plates for an “Off The Wall” look.
Beyond the Vans contest, Williams has also won a regional graphic design competition and a local contest for a new truck design.
She said she was pleased to be able to use her digital art for the Code Talker contest. For the Vans contest, she was required to draw and paint on the shoe.
“I like both of them, but digital art is more cool,” she said. “There’s so many things you can do with digital art. You just don’t get the same stuff out of drawing and painting on paper.”
Just days before the submission due date, Williams’ dad discovered the contest and recommended she apply. Williams began researching Navajo Code Talkers and was inspired by online photos of a particular statue: the Navajo Code Talkers Veterans Memorial in Window Rock.
In addition to writing an accompanying essay, she spent about four hours creating the seal, drawing on her tablet starting with her focal point and then filling in around it, as she does with all her designs.
“Even from her first year with me, she has this incredible eye for detail and composition. She doesn’t gloss over anything,” said Flagstaff High graphic design teacher Kayley Quick. “It’s just super inspiring to see her work, getting to see what she does. As a young person, it’s nice to see her transitioning into adulthood, and, much like many of my students, what they’re going to bring to our society. I’m seeing it all the time at school. It’s just awesome.”
Williams said the contest would have been impossible to win by herself.
“I just want to say thank you to everybody. It was all of you who helped me make this win possible. Every like and share and vote, it got me closer to winning and I really appreciate all of you for that,” she said. “Thank you for believing in me and believing in my design. You all make my job really easy and it makes me that much more passionate about what I do.”
Williams said she plans to study graphic design after graduating from high school and maybe someday make it into her own business. She has already created business pages for “Alyssa Williams Design” on Facebook and Instagram so she can start sharing her visual creations with a larger audience.

Those two harbor-seal pups are swimming in more-secluded waters after a weekend rescue in West Seattle. The report and photos are from Seal Sitters Marine Mammal Stranding Network:
On Sunday, Seal Sitters MMSN rescued two young, weaned harbor seals from the Duwamish Head area.
The pups, nicknamed Tango and Foxtrot (L-R above), had been using the highly visible and accessible beach to rest, coming and going over the past days. We began to receive troubling reports of people touching and harassing the pups after ignoring warnings and barriers.
One pup also had a fish hook in his mouth that had to be removed by a veterinary team from SR3. Thankfully that injury was slight. The pups’ proximity to fishing piers and the boat dock made them vulnerable to further entanglement. The decision was made to relocate them for the safety of the pups and the public.
(Photo by David Hutchinson)
With the assistance of SR3, WDFW Marine Mammal Investigations and World Vets, the pups were captured, given a medical exam, and taken by boat to a secluded South Sound island. Videos show Tango and Foxtrot frolicking in their new waters and Seal Sitters volunteers are gratified that the pups could be relocated together.
Harbor seal pupping season is currently underway in our area and seal pups will be trying to rest onshore. Please remember to stay away from pups, leash your pets, and call Seal Sitters at 206-905-7325 if you see a stranded marine mammal in West Seattle.
“Stranded” also covers marine mammals in possible distress offshore – even though some reports sometimes mistake normal behavior for trouble, SSMMSN would rather know than not know!
Another part of the agreement states that Seal, 57, whose actual name is Henry Samuel, will get "expanded time with the kids" when they come back from Germany. Seal will also be able to visit the children when they're in Europe.
The court case comes as some outlets are reporting that Seal thinks Klum has some kind of "hidden agenda" to keep the kids away from him.
“I believe Heidi has a hidden agenda to move the children to Germany,” he says.
The couple shares four kids -- Leni, 16, Henry, 14, Johan, 13, and Lou, 10.

WHILE it might have been almost 40 years ago, it's hard to forget Princess Diana on her wedding day to Prince Charles.
The late Princess of Wales stunned onlookers as she walked down the aisle at St Paul's Cathedral in a stunning ivory silk taffeta and antique lace gown, dragging a record-breaking 25-foot train behind her.

The wedding dress will go down in royal history as one of the most famous royal gowns of all time - and avid royal watchers desperately awaited the big reveal.
Because of this, its designers David Emanuel and his ex-wife Elizabeth were desperate to keep it under wraps - and tried everything possible to do so.
The Say Yes To The Dress host revealed they even ripped up sketches as soon as they showed them to the bride-to-be, in case anyone caught a glimpse.
Speaking to Hello!, David revealed how the royal icon always attended the fitting alone, but towards the very end she took her mother, Frances Shand Kydd.

Designers David Emanuel and his ex-wife Elizabeth ripped up the sketch to avoid it getting out
"It was just three of us, myself, my ex-wife and Diana. It happened very organically," David explained.
"As soon as Mrs Shand Kydd saw it and she loved it, we ripped up the design as we didn't want people to see it."
The stunning dress was made of antique lace (something old), material from a British silk farm (something new) and even had a small blue bow sewn into the waistband (something blue).
For good luck on her big day, David revealed he'd enlisted a jeweller to sew a tiny gold horseshoe into the dress - a gesture Diana was moved by.

"We only told her on the wedding day. She didn't know about the horseshoe for good luck, she was very touched. She was traditional," he said.
In an interview in 2018, David also revealed that Diana actually had a back-up dress, in case the original design was leaked.
According to Marie Claire, he told PEOPLE: "At the time we wanted to make absolutely sure that the dress was a surprise."
The second gown was made with the same taffeta material as the dress Diana eventually wore down the aisle, and featured similar ruffles around the neck - but was supposedly far less lavish.

The final design was hand-embroidered with over 10,000 tiny mother-of-pearl sequins and pearls, a feature the back-up was missing.
These could have been added at the last minute, however, the piece was never actually finished, and Diana never saw it.
David continued: "We didn’t try it on Diana. We never even discussed it.
"We wanted to make sure that we had something there; it was for our own peace of mind, really."

David also designed the memorable black strapless number for Diana before her wedding, which was one of seven gowns of his she'd worn.
David said: "I did a few gowns for her before the wedding, the first one you saw in public was the strapless black dress with the sweetheart neckline as she got out of the limousine with Prince Charles - everyone gasped.
"The next day, I got a phone call from Buckingham Palace's press office. 'Mr Emanuel, are you responsible for Lady Diana?'
"That was the start of seven gowns, and then out of the blue, she rang my studio and said, 'Would you do the honour of designing my wedding gown?'"

Authorities are searching for a suspect who shot and killed a motorist on the 405 Freeway in Seal Beach on Saturday.
Officers responded shortly after 6 p.m. to reports of shots fired on the northbound freeway, just south of the 605 Freeway, the California Highway Patrol said in a statement.
They found a light blue Hyundai Elantra in the center divider area; inside was a man in his mid-20s who appeared to have suffered a gunshot wound, according to investigators. He was pronounced dead at the scene. His identity was not released.
Investigators are looking for a white Mercedes-Benz S550 that witnesses described as the “suspect vehicle,” the CHP said.

The Hyundai had also collided with a maroon Honda before coming to a stop, authorities said. That driver remained on the scene and was cooperating with the investigation.
The northbound lanes of the 405 were shut down for about six hours while police investigated. Anyone with information was asked to call the California Highway Patrol’s Westminster Area office at (714) 892-4426.

A man was shot to death today on the San Diego (405) Freeway in Seal Beach.
The shooting was reported shortly after 6 p.m. on the northbound San Diego Freeway just south of the San Gabriel River (605) Freeway, according to the California Highway Patrol.
The victim was the sole occupant of a Hyundai Elantra, which veered left and struck the front of a maroon Honda Accord on the passenger side, according to Duane Graham of the CHP's Westminster office. The one person in that vehicle wasn't hurt, he said.
The northbound lanes just south of the 605 Freeway were closed due to the investigation. Christine Kim reports for NBC LA at 8 p.m. Saturday Aug. 29, 2020.
Paramedics from the Orange County Fire Authority pronounced the shooting victim dead at the scene, said OCFA Capt. Thanh Nguyen.
The CHP issued a SigAlert shutting down all northbound lanes of the San Diego Freeway in the area and the Seal Beach Boulevard on-ramp.
While they don't have a plate number, officers are now looking for a white Mercedes-Benz 550 or S550 they believe was involved in the shooting, Graham said.
Police were still on location interviewing witnesses as of 10:45 p.m., and all lanes of the northbound 405 remained closed.
The California Highway Patrol asks anyone who may have information about the incident to call their Westminster office at 714-892-4426.

The shooting happened as protesters converged on the city for the 94th night in a row. Officers heard sounds of gunfire around 8:46 p.m., Portland Police said in a statement. When officers responded to the area of Southeast 3rd Avenue and Southwest Alder Street, they found the victim. Medical personnel determined the person was dead.
Police said they are not releasing suspect information at this time and are asking anyone who was a witness or has first-hand video of the shooting to contact investigators. The area has been secured as a crime scene and investigators are asking people to avoid it.
Earlier in the night, police tweeted that there had been "some instances of violence between demonstrators and counterdemonstrators," as a political rally caravanned through downtown Portland.
The tweet said officers had made some arrests and asked people to avoid downtown due to traffic from the political rally.
The traffic coincided with a planned "Trump 2020 Cruise Rally in Portland" that was advertised on Facebook. According to the posted event, participants were planning to gather at the Clackamas Town Center in Clackamas, Oregon, line up the cars, motorcycles and trucks for the rally and travel the "Trump 2020 cruise rally route." An image posted on Facebook shows it appeared to include the downtown Portland area.
On Saturday afternoon, a large group of Pro-Trump supporters and cars gathered at the Clackamas Town Center, according to reporting from CNN affiliate KOIN. Video recorded by KOIN showed pickup trucks with American flags, "Thin Blue Line" flags and Trump 2020 flags prominently displayed on the vehicles.
Later in the evening, New York Times reporter Mike Baker posted video from downtown Portland. In at least one video, protesters standing on a street corner are seen screaming and tossing items at people in a stopped white pickup truck with an American flag and the words "All Live Matter" written on a back driver's side window; the truck appears to be part of the Trump cruise rally. One of the protesters is seen lighting a Trump flag on fire as the caravan begins to drive off.
A man riding in the bed of a passing black pickup truck displaying a blue "Oregon for Trump" flag and an American flag can be seen pointing and firing a paintball gun at the protesters standing on the corner. As a green pickup truck passes, someone riding in the bed can be seen spraying something toward protesters. As the angle of the video shifts, the riders in the black truck can be seen releasing some form of spray. Passengers riding in the green truck duck as the other protesters toss something at them.
Other videos posted by the New York Times reporter showed fights breaking out between the Pro-Trump supporters and the protesters.
This is a developing story and will be updated as more information becomes available.

Before you think all cabins are the same when booking a cruise, take a moment to look over these really common cruise ship cabin mistakes.
The stateroom you pick is an important decision, because it is where you will spend the most time during the cruise, so choosing where it is located is an important decision.
With a little bit of extra research, you can avoid blunders that I hear about from cruisers time and time again.
Not looking what is above or below your room
Perhaps the biggest concern is picking a room that experiences "noise bleed", where noise from another venue can be heard in the room.
Royal Caribbean's staterooms do a pretty good job at muffling nearby noise, but no cabin is soundproof.
Before you book a room, look at the ship's deck plans and look what is above and below your stateroom. Ideally, you want other staterooms on either deck and not public venues like pools, restaurants or other public venues.
Keep in mind that is not the worst thing if there is a public venue on a deck above or below your room, but it is a best practice if you can avoid it.
Room location if you are worried about getting seasick
The sensation of movement affects everyone differently, but it is a mistake to book a stateroom all the way forward or all the way aft if you are prone to motion sickness.
Getting seasick on a cruise is something a lot of first time cruisers are worried about, and while there are a lot of easy remedies in case it occurs, picking the right room can greatly help as well.
Ideally, you want to book a stateroom that is on a low deck and centrally located to lessen the feeling of movement. While balcony rooms are a good idea, you want to be on the lowest deck, with a room that is the most midship available.
Try to avoid higher decks, as well as cabins at the very front or back of the ship.
Distance to walk
On the bigger Royal Caribbean ships, where your room is in relation to the rest of the ship is a consideration to account for as well.
The proximity of your room to elevators, pools, Royal Promenade, and other popular areas can play a factor in picking the right room for you.
If you think you might spend a lot of time at the pool deck, picking a room on a deck closer to the pool deck might make more sense to avoid the hassle of going back and forth to your room across the ship.
Similarly, if you have mobility concerns, picking a stateroom closer to the elevator banks would be a good idea.
Trying to put everyone in one room
Families going on a cruise often try to book a room that can accommodate everyone in one room. This may seem like the logical solution, but you should consider booking two (or more) smaller rooms instead.
While there are lot of cabins that can fit 4 people in one room, it may not be the most comfortable situation (plus the fact you are all sharing one bathroom).
Instead, consider booking two connecting rooms that have a common inside door between them. Not only will this provide more room, physical separation and an extra bathroom, it may not be that much more money than trying to book one of the larger rooms.
Looking at only the price
We all have a limited vacation budget, but looking only at the price when choosing a cruise ship cabin is a big mistake.
You will want to look at more than just the price when choosing a cabin, including where it is located and what is (or is not) included with the room.
Your cabin is one part of the vacation where paying a little bit more for a higher category or better location can make a huge difference in your cruise enjoyment.

Last week his ex-wife Heidi Klum filed a request for an emergency court hearing seeking to force Seal to allow her to take their children to Germany with her in October.
But it seems the couple have since been able to reach an agreement without needing a judge to rule on the matter.
While Seal expressed concerns about the kids travelling to Europe during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, he has now agreed to allow Heidi to take them with her, People reported Thursday.
Battle: Last week his ex-wife Heidi Klum filed a request for an emergency court hearing seeking to force Seal to allow her to take their children to Germany with her in October
In return, Seal will get expanded visitation with the children both before they leave and upon their return, according to the publication, as well as being able to see them while they are in Germany if he so wishes.
Klum, 47, is going to Germany to film a new season of the country's Next Top Model reality show.
In her previous court filing, she explained that the series is normally filmed in the USA but the German cast and crew are not permitted currently to enter America due to the pandemic.
Klum and Seal, who married in 2005 and finalized their divorce in 2014, share joint legal and physical custody of daughters Leni, 16, and Lou, 10, and sons Henry, 14, and Johan, 13.
Klum married German guitarist Tom Kaulitz, 30, in February 2014.

Family: Heidi has agreed to let Seal gave expanded time with the kids (pictured in 2019) before they leave and upon their return as well as allowing him to visit them in Germany
In legal documents obtained by TheBlast.com on August 20, the German model and TV personality explained that the children did not want to be parted from her for the three-and-a-half months she's contracted to be in Germany but that Seal had not signed off on the trip.
Instead, she stated, he preferred the children to remain in Los Angeles, where he also resides.
The Kiss From A Rose hitmaker - real name Henry Samuel - has previously permitted the kids to travel with their famous mother, but after initially agreeing in April to the fall trip to Germany, Heidi said he changed his mind.
She explained: 'My work in television supports our family. Neither Henry (Seal) nor I pay child support to one another, and because our children are with me the vast majority of the time, I take on a larger portion of their regular expenses.
'I am well aware of all the necessary precautions associated with the Covid-19 virus, and would never put our children at risk. I have taken all the precautions for Germany the same way I do in the US.'

In his own legal filing, Seal responded that he was suspicious of his ex's motives.
'Heidi is a celebrity and a German national and I am concerned that if she is allowed to take the children to Germany, she may unilaterally decide not to return them to the United States,' Seal said.
He also stated: 'Notwithstanding Heidi’s request, if granted, could in effect move the children away from me and their home here in Los Angeles to Germany for what could be an indefinite period of time given the uncertainty of the impact of COVID-19 on this country’s and Germany’s travel restrictions which could change at any time and prevent the children from leaving Germany or entering the United States.'
The new agreement he has reached with Klum states that should the coronavirus crisis escalate to the point where the US decides to shut down its borders, Klum must 'immediately make arrangements in an effort to return home with the children before the borders close.'
