World of Warcraft: Shadowlands is the fastest-selling PC game ever
By:Nedim Hadzic
World of Warcraft: Shadowlands
Activision Blizzard have announced that not only was the launch of World of Warcraft: Shadowlands a sucess- it's actually the fastest-selling PC game of all time.
World of Warcraft: Shadowlands officially launched on November 23, 2020, so the company clearly needed time to gather the official numbers, but the end result is definitely something to gloat about.
And according to the official figures, World of Warcraft: Shadowlands sold 3.7 million units on the first day alone, which was enough to snag it the title of the fastest-selling PC game ever.
Activision Blizzard are delighted with the result, quite rightfully so, although we suspect the latter part of the company sighed just a bit more audible breath of relief.
Activision's boasting about the highest engagement numbers in the franchise's history didn't do much to reassure fans, who were more focused on Blizzard's capability to deliver than on recurrent players.
Moreover, it didn't help that World of Warcraft: Shadowlands was ultimately delayed, which ended up producing more sceptics than the flat Earth theory. A large majority of which seem to have had a change of heart once they got back in the proverbial saddle.
Perhaps the only unfortunate thing in this matter is that Blizzard were practically fighting themselves. The previous record-holder was Diablo 3, whose day one sales in 2012 reached 3.5 million copies.
And the best part is that the real World of Warcraft: Shadowlands content hasn't even started flowing, as the first two weeks were about players familiarising themselves with the expansion.
World of Warcraft: Shadowlands is getting its first Raid and Season 1 today, and we reckon that numbers will only grow from here.

When residents think of Azusa , they usually think of the word "community." The "Canyon City," as it is called, focuses heavily on community, and provides residents with lots of opportunities to get together. The city also has state of the art professionals, such as DUI attorneys. That means residents don't have to be on their own if they get into trouble.
When it comes to community, Azusa residents can take advantage of the youth and adult sports leagues. These leagues are a great way to meet others, and they will also help you get into shape or appease your competitive streak.
Residents can also play a game of drop-in basketball at Memorial Park Gymnasium. This is perfect for people who want to add a little bit of fun to a boring evening. The best part is you don't have to have skills like Michael Jordan to rule the court in a game of drop-in basketball.
Azusa residents can also spend time together at one of the area's numerous parks. The parks are a great place for people to get together and have a picnic, or play a game of tennis. Some of the parks even have horseshoes, so you can have a barbeque and play an easy game without straining yourself too much.
As fun as the activities are, the services are just as important. For instance, if you find yourself in a situation where you have been charged with a DUI, you need to hire a DUI attorney. He can work to mitigate your legal charges so you can get on with your life. Without the help of an attorney, the city may throw the book at you, so you could be without your license for a long period of time. You might even do time. Fortunately, an attorney can help.
Have fun out on the town in Azusa, but always keep your DUI attorney's number handy. You never know when you might need some legal help.


Following a tender process, Brash were commissioned to build a website that was integrated with some third party software, a secure customer portal, social media feeds and a live chat function.
The website needed not only to promote the company but also to provide a hub of information for both their direct customers and end users enabling them to view and enquire about stock.
We worked closely with the Managing Director and Marketing team to build a site that improved not only functionality and responsive for their clients but one that is also fully compatible with their stock control systems leading to increased efficiency across the company.
A new search function not only allows clients to search with design in mind via colour and type of finish; but also provides the fabricators with all the necessary technical information such as thickness, type and size. This allows the company to provide a better service all the way through the supply chain.
Direct customers are now supplied with secure access to international stock information allowing them to view all available stock instantly. Prior to the development of the new website, this information would have taken up to 24 hours to provide.
Users able to search for stock by colour, type of finish and size.
Customers able to access live stock information – reducing sales cycle by 24 hours.
Delivers an enhanced search and contact experience.
Gives users access to live stock data.
Integrates with 3rd party software, a customer portal, social media and live chat.


p.s. Scroll to the bottom and watch our chapter interest info meeting to get all the details!
If you cannot do one of these dates please email sharon@academyofhandmade.com.
I REALLY recommend not starting before 7pm, but definitely not before 6:30pm!
Thank you! We'll be in touch soon regarding the next steps.

OAKLAND, Calif. - Nearly eight months after the team promised to buy her a new unicycle, the Golden State Warriors on Monday night will hand Rong Niu, better known as the Red Panda, a new one.
In a statement, the Warriors said CEO and President Rick Welts will give Niu her custom-made unicycle before the halftime act at the Oracle Arena. The Warriors are playing the Phoenix Suns.
In January, KTVU first reported that someone took off with the beloved acrobat's 7-foot unicycle valued at about $30,000 from the San Francisco Airport. The airport released surveillance video of the suspect, who has never been caught.
Her agent, Pat Figley, told KTVU at the time that she was heartbroken. The unicycle was built for her frame and riding a backup, while balancing plates on her head, has never been the same.

Today is the first episode of my Spring Cleaning series and we are starting small with the front hall closet.
In my usual forgetfulness I didn't take a before picture but if I'm being honest the before and after wasn't too different. I mostly just wanted to wipe down the shelf and vacuum the floor. There wasn't a whole lot that needed to be decluttered. In this closet we keep our coats, board games, some shoes, and a few other random items.
The first thing I did was pull everything out of the closet and pile it in the kitchen. Then I wiped down the shelf and used my vacuum to clean the floor.
As I put things back I tired to keep my coats on one side and Tim's coats on the other. I'm sure we have more coats then we really need but I truly wear all the coats from my side and Tim's stuff is his responsibility to declutter.
On the top shelf I stacked up our games and found a spot for my dance bags. I'm not sure why I insist on keeping all my dance stuff ready to go, but I like to have it here. The second bag is for my dance team stuff so that is necessary to bring when I coach.
I keep a few extra hangers available in case we have guests who want to hang up their coats in the closet.
I despise our floors, they are so gross looking. I can't wait to buy a house and chose my own floors at some point!
On the floor I kept my rainboots, my uggs, Tim's boots, Tim's lunchbox, a shovel, car cleaning supplies and my step stool. In the back I also have a poster with a picture of me from Halloween when I was little and the poster from my bridal shower. To the right side there are also a few golf clubs and a golf umbrella.
Overall the only thing that didn't put back in here was a gaming chair that Tim has never used but it definitely gave us a little more room.
Now for the exciting news, I am hosting a giveaway!!
If you haven't heard, The Home Edit just released their first book and let me tell you it's incredible! The pictures are gorgeous and their method for organizing and making things look beautiful is perfect. I adore their Instagram (thehomeedit) and want to share the inspiration with all of you so in addition to buying a book for myself, I picked one up to share with one of you! In order to enter the giveaway you can head HERE.
This giveaway will be open until April 3rd at 11:59PM and I will announce the winner here shortly after. This giveaway is only open to those located in the United States. Good luck!
In addition to this post I also filmed a front hall closet clean with me video which you can check out here.
I share a closet with my husband and I want to organize it. He has a lot of shirts and I have way too much clothes. I need serious organizing and decluttering.


All the major carriers have low-cost spinoffs, and their deals are worth checking first. AT&T runs Cricket Wireless. Sprint has Boost and Virgin. T-Mobile owns Metro. If you're looking for a wide range of stores and solid customer service, these brands have excellent prices and should be your first shopping stops. We'll mention them below when appropriate.
If that worries you, there are two lesser-known carriers that consistently get strong ratings for customer service: Consumer Cellular and Republic Wireless. You can also turn to the wholly owned brands of the big carriers, which have their own store networks: AT&T's Cricket, T-Mobile's Metro, and Sprint's Boost and Virgin.
If you're going to pay more than $40 per month, per line, you should be getting unlimited (or nearly unlimited) data. If you're a Comcast Cable subscriber, Xfinity Mobile gives you unlimited data for $45 per month on Verizon's network, with speeds reduced after 20GB.
Both Metro (owned by T-Mobile) and Boost Mobile (owned by Sprint) currently have $50 monthly unlimited data deals. (MetroPCS will de-prioritize you, but not throttle you, after 35GB per month; Boost does it after 23GB.) That's the least you'll pay for unlimited LTE data. Both also have (somewhat) discounted family plans. AT&T's subsidiary Cricket is a little more expensive at $60 per month.

Speaking of sessions: If you're like me, you want to attend every session on the list and absorb as much as you can while at the conference. Unfortunately, unless you've found a way to clone yourself, that's not possible. So, to help you navigate your way through MPB2B, I've included a preview of 7 must-see sessions for the event. And, as an added bonus, some of the top speakers at the event were kind enough to share some exclusive insights about their session topics. Hopefully, this will help alleviate any potential FOMO you felt coming on.
But first, a word from B2B content queen Ann Handley.
What is Ann looking forward to most at MPB2B?
"The theme for this year's MarketingProfs B2B Forum is Learning Changes Lives. So I'm looking forward to changing my own life by learning from the world's smartest and most accomplished B2B marketers on the planet!
I'm looking forward to meeting and greeting attendees who are leading the B2B marketing forward.
And I'm looking forward to going home.
That last one might seem like an odd thing for me to say. I live in Boston, and for the first time in 12 years the B2B Forum is on the West Coast, far away from my hometown of Boston! But the Forum is home nonetheless.
Creating and scaling an influencer marketing program that gets results within an enterprise organization is no easy undertaking. But this group of heavy hitters have managed to do just that. Join this panel as they discuss how working with influencers can help successfully scale B2B content.
For B2B marketers struggling to scale their content operation, how can incorporating influencers help them bridge the gap and improve program success?
One of the biggest barriers to advocacy is adoption. If employees, customers or influencers aren't bought in, your chances of success are slim. In this session, you'll learn how to provide value to your audience in a way that inspires participation.
What is one way B2B brands can inspire advocacy in a way that is meaningful and authentic?
It's no secret that content has become an essential part of content marketing. In fact, many platforms (like LinkedIn) are prioritizing good video over other types of content. If you're looking to begin successfully incorporating video into your strategy without overspending, this is a must-see session.
What is one tip for creating great B2B video when you have limited time, budget and resources?
B2B marketers are struggling to get results from the large amount of time and resources they spend developing content. Fortunately, there is a way to approach content more strategically in a way that can help brands become more profitable. If you're ready to flip your content, Robert is the man to help.

What condition is our data in?
It's time to turn the B2B influencer marketing world upside-down. In this Stranger Things themed presentation, we'll discuss ways to tap into influencer's superpowers to create epic B2B content. Additionally, we'll walk through three stories of successful B2B influencer marketing in action and steps for creating a stellar experience for audiences and influencers alike.
Why is it important to work with different influencer types to co-create B2B content?
"All influencers are NOT created equal. But, every person has the potential to be influential about something to someone.
What if someone told you to take everything you knew about B2B marketing and throw it out the window? Well that's just what companies like SnapApp have done, and believe it or not, their results improved significantly. Ready to break your B2B marketing?
What is one habit or process that marketers need to break that's killing their marketing and why?
"The short answer: Thinking incrementally.
There is quite a bit of talk currently about new models, and how some of the old approaches to B2B marketing have run their course, and I think there is a lot of validity to that. Certainly, I am a big proponent of moving past the inbound gated content approach to generating leads, and the work that folks are doing with ABM and "conversational marketing" are great steps in a very positive direction. However, in my mind there is a bigger issue in play that goes way beyond the tactical execution of a particular approach. It gets at the very core of how we think about growth opportunities and how we measure results. Too many of us are satisfied delivering incremental gains year over year and it is crushing our ability to create real transformation in our businesses.
I have had the opportunity to talk with 100s of marketers at all types of companies over the past few years and to a person we are overwhelmed by the amount of change required to hit our growth targets. And yet, we are stuck trying to find 10, or 20, or 30% growth. It is fundamentally impossible to incrementally grow any key area and achieve real scale. That will take too long, (30% year over year growth doubles the outcome in a little over 3 years) and costs too much (can you invest 30% more of your budget on each of your programs every year?) We must go in search of step-wise changes where we can efficiently 5x the outcome while we continue to grow in other areas. You cannot find that type of change by thinking about 30% growth. Here is a simple example.
If your monthly leads target is 1000 per month, and you grow that 30%, you will have reached 1300 by the end of the year (if you hit it). That is a manageable number, and most of us could come up with any number of interesting ideas to reach that goal. But what if our goal isn't 1300, but instead it is 3000 or even 5000. What would you do then? The scope and scale of the kinds of programs that you would need to explore are dramatically different and it forces you to fundamentally think differently about everything you are doing. THIS is the kind of change we should be striving for, this is how our companies will reach its goals.
See You in the Golden City!

A new paper provides fascinating insight into how our brains amass information and organize and assess it in real-time.
The lack of a formal link between neural network structure and its emergent function has hampered our understanding of how the brain processes information. We have now come closer to describing such a link by taking the direction of synaptic transmission into account, constructing graphs of a network that reflect the direction of information flow, and analyzing these directed graphs using algebraic topology. Applying this approach to a local network of neurons in the neocortex revealed a remarkably intricate and previously unseen topology of synaptic connectivity. The synaptic network contains an abundance of cliques of neurons bound into cavities that guide the emergence of correlated activity. In response to stimuli, correlated activity binds synaptically connected neurons into functional cliques and cavities that evolve in a stereotypical sequence toward peak complexity. We propose that the brain processes stimuli by forming increasingly complex functional cliques and cavities.
The cliques of neurons that grow and connect in real-time make up the transient "architecture" of awareness as it changes and responds to stimuli.
You can observe a process that seems to fit this description by simply turning your head and looking around. As your eye settles on something to consider in more detail, neuronic cliques will grow in your brain based on that stimulus.
Depending on the significance to you of what you are looking at, further associations drawn from memory and emotion will aggregate around it.
Interestingly, the concept of transient neuronal cliques that grow into larger structures fits very well with the Buddha's Five Skandhas explanation of the path between perception and consciousness.
This paper also seems to explain why FIML practice works. FIML interrupts the (re)formation of habitual neuronal cliques in real-time, thus preventing the (re)association of established mental states with new perceptions.
By consciously interfering with habitual neuronal cliques, FIML eliminates the false and unwanted psychological structures that give rise to them.
FIML works because large psychological brain structures rely on reconsolidation through the continual processing of "new" information that falsely reconfirms them.
As such, human psychology to a large extent is an ongoing self-fulfilling prophesy.
Here is an article about the paper: Brain Architecture: Scientists Discover 11 Dimensional Structures That Could Help Us Understand How the Brain Works.

Today is Sunday. The Lord's day, the day of rest, the beginning or ending of the week depending on your viewpoint. I believe it is the beginning of the week. Every week starts off on a day of rest so the rest of the week goes well. The same is true of a manuscript be it PB, MG, YA or magazine article. By starting after a day of rest on your current work-in-progress, it gives you, the writer, a new look at your words. Things must go and things must be added to make the manuscript stronger. Time is right to make your manuscripts stronger, more relevant and more publishable.
Lily's Lagniappe: Interstate 10 between Baton Rouge and Lafayette has sections over water called the Achafalaya Basin. Out in the water are trees called Cypress. Strong durable trees but over time with winds, creatures, and flooding the trees become shorter than usual. They stick up about a foot to about three or four feet above the water level. We, Louisianans, call those cypress knees. Many a table with a glass top has decorated plantation homes, and then later most homes. There are homes built on stilts above these waterways made of cypress. They stand the test of time and weather lasting fifty years or more with always more than one generation living in these homes.

NIGERIA: Alleged $6.3 million Fraud: Absence Of Defendants Stall Arraignment Of Access Bank CEO, Others
Herbert Wigwe. Image via Premium Times
BY OLAMIDE FADIPE
LAGOS (PREMIUM TIMES) -- The arraignment of the Group Managing Director of Access Bank Plc, Herbert Wigwe, before an Ikeja Division of the Lagos State High Court was stalled Thursday due to the absence of the defendants.
Joined in the suit are Cast Oil & Gas Ltd as the first defendant; Seyi Sanni, second defendant; Adekunle Adebayo, third defendant; Access Bank, fourth defendant; and Mr Wigwe, as the fifth defendant.
The others are Titi Oshontoki, sixth defendant; Chinyere Bishop-Adigwe, seventh defendant; Sunny Amos Offiong, eighth defendant; Augusta Energy Nigeria Ltd, ninth defendant; and one Tunji Abraham who is at large.
The defendants were accused of a $6.3million fraud.
According to the judge, Hakeem Oshodi, proceedings cannot continue and neither can preliminary objections be heard when the defendants to be arraigned are not all present in court.
The judge was responding to counsel to the fourth defendant, Paul Usoro, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, who sought to raise a preliminary objection challenging the jurisdiction of the court to hear the matter.
When the matter was called, only two of the defendants were in court.
Consequently, Mr Oshodi, adjourned the matter till June 3, for the hearing of the preliminary objection.
The defendants are facing a four-count charge bordering on conspiracy, obtaining by false pretences, fraud, and stealing, preferred against them by the Police Special Fraud Unit (SFU).
The prosecutor, Emmanuel Jackson, a Chief Superintendent of Police, said the defendants committed the offences between January and December 2015.
He said they conspired with one another and with Augusta Energy of Geneva, Switzerland, to defraud Top Oil &Gas Development Ltd to the tune of over $6.3million.
Mr Jackson said the defendants obtained the said money from Top Oil & Gas Development Ltd by falsely telling the chairman of the company, Don Etiebet, and other officers of the company, that Cast Oil and Gas Ltd had a contract with Augusta energy of Geneva Switzerland.
They said the contract was for the supply of 10,000 metric tones of automatic Gas Oil (AGO) by Augusta Energy of Geneva to Cast Oil & Gas, and that the price of the products was $6,382,665.71. They allegedly claimed Top Oil & Gas was the consignee of the products.
Mr Jackson also said the defendants had also informed the complainant that after financing, purchasing, supply and importation of the said products into Nigeria from Switzerland, it would take delivery of same in its capacity as a consignee of the product and authorised Cast Oil &Gas to sell the said products on its behalf.
He further said the defendants also ensured that Top Oil & Gas Development recovered the monument invested for the purchase, supply, and importation of the said products, which they knew was false but induced the complainant to invest the said sum in the purported business, and fraudulently converted it to their own use and benefit.
According to the prosecutor, the defendants stole $6.3million, the property of Top Oil &Gas Development Ltd, which they deceived company to pay to Augusta Energy of Geneva Switzerland on behalf of Case Oil &Gas as the cost price of 10,000 metric tonnes of Automotive Gas Oil (AGO).
Meanwhile, the product which Top Oil &Gas Development Ltd, was deceived to pay for, was not supplied or imported into Nigeria, but they instead converted the money into their own use and benefit.
Mr Jackson said the alleged offences are contrary to Sections 422 of the criminal code, Cap C38, Laws of the Federation 2004, 8 (a) of the Advanced Fee Fraud and other related offences Act, No 14 of 2006.
He said the offences are punishable under Section 1(1)(a) of the same Act, 383 (2)(f) and 390 (9) of the criminal code, Cap C38, Laws of the Federation of Nigeria 2004.

When I was in 5th or 6th grade I went over to one of my friend's house to play the Xbox. When I showed up he was playing Super Mario World with an Xbox controller in-hand. At first I thought, "How awesome of Microsoft to put Super Mario World on an Xbox disc." However, I was wrong in my assumption. My friend's Xbox was running an emulator of the SNES and was running a ROM of Super Mario World. Now I couldn't believe how awesome this was. Yet, I must admit when he was telling me it is running an emulator of a SNES running a ROM; I had no idea what he was talking about. To be honest, I don't think he did, because he said his uncle built it for him.
Why am I telling you about a childhood memory of mine where my mind was blown. Well, frankly it is because for years memories of playing old systems, and arcades on my friends Xbox would occasionally have me wondering how his uncle did that. Years after that experience and wondering I came across the Raspberry Pi, and if you take a look around my website you will see how I am greatly found of this little credit card size computer.
After discovering the Raspberry Pi, I would often look and try to find new ways to use it. This is when I came across RetroPie. RetroPie is a way to run Emulators of old gaming systems, like the SNES and MAME on the Raspberry Pi. Seeing RetroPie instantly took me back to those fond child memories, of playing emulators on an Xbox. I was greatly intrigued.
A co-worker of mine had went to a Hacker/Cyber Security conference called SAINTCON a few times. When you go to Hacker events they usually have some cool project using Raspberry Pis, Arduinos, and other electronic gadgets to make name badges for their participants.
For the 2017 SAINTCON Badge they used a Raspberry Pi Zero W, with a 2.8" TFT 240×320 Color Display. The PCB has buttons that match the SNES controller layout. Naturally when my co-worker gave these to me, my mind immediately thought about turning the badge into a RetroPie.
I began by flashing the SD card with a fresh install of RetroPie, and booting up the Raspberry Pi. To my dismay the screen that was attached on the badge didn't turn on. I then proceeded to SSH into the Pi. Did a sudo raspi-config, found the settings for enabling SPI, and rebooted the Raspberry Pi Zero W. Upon reboot still no screen. I decided I was going to get RetroPie working on this setup no matter what. So, I dissembled the badge by removing the Raspberry Pi and display.
After removing the Raspberry Pi and display, I placed the display into a breadboard. I then found a GitHub repository that said how to get this display working with a Raspberry Pi. Wired up the Pi to the correct Pins on the Raspberry Pi. Entered in a few configuration commands to get the screen to work. This worked by mirroring what the GPU was displaying over the GPIO pins of the Raspberry Pi. This time when I booted the raspberry Pi, Eureka! It worked! I was so excited. Naturally I plugged in an Xbox 360 controller to the Raspberry Pi, and mapped it to RetroPie. I finally got it working. I then moved over a couple of ROMs for the SNES and Gameboy Color, and enjoyed myself for a few hours.
This is a video of the RetroPie on the Raspberry Pi Zero W with the display plugged into the bread board.
After getting RetroPie Working on the Raspberry Pie Zero W off of the SAINTCON badge, I was browsing twitter. While browsing twitter I saw that L34N had left a comment on my tweet about receiving the badges from a co-worker. In his comment was a link to a GitHub repository. The link contains instructions on how to convert the 2017 SAINTCON badge into a RetroPie device. This was great news to me, as it meant I would be able to use the native SNES controller layout buttons.
After following the instructions found on the Github link, I was able to successfully get RetroPie working.
I using the Badge makes it look really neat.
I still don't know if the badge, although very cool; is the complete design I want for my hand-held RetroPie. I am considering tearing all the components off. I still may use the PCB section that has the SNES controller on it. I want to take all these components and put them into a more compact version. If you have any ideas on what I should do, leave a comment below.
I think it is awesome the things the Maker/Hacker community come up with. For example an awesome way to play Retro Games on a Raspberry Pi, or an event as great as SAINTCON. It is these communities and people which continue to astound me. Just like that time in 5th or 6th grade when I was able to play a Nintendo game on an Xbox. I just want to give a shout-out to all these folks, and tell them, they continue to inspire every day. I am grateful for the time and commitment each one has to the community, and I look forward to seeing what they do next.

Mindshift Rotation 180, Photography Backpack - Thoughts From the Field. . .
While I was home briefly, I made some time to take the MindShift Rotation 180 photography backpack to the field for an authentic, live test. The Mindshift Rotation 180 backpack was developed though a crowd soured model - very cool concept! Think Tank is the parent company to MindShift and the Rotation 180 is really a new concept in photography backpack systems. I call it a system because that's exactly what it is. It's a backpack, fanny pack, and tripod carrier all in one. Best of all, it works! A lot of thought must have gone into the developing this pack. I have a pile of packs in my house, most get used a few times then thrown in a pile or loaned out. Not the MindShift Rotation 180, this one is staying with me! The striking thing about the pack is that it's intuative. It's designers managed to put the right gadgets in the right places. . . Nothing on the MindShift Rotation 180 is out of place or unnecessary . . . It's the first photography backpack I've worn that simply works as described.
I spend a considerable amount of time carrying heavy loads on my back. It's imperative that I use a system that works. The MindShift Rotation 180 photography backpack just works, period. It's an awesome product that I think changes the game. It is truly as the product name itself suggest, a "mind-shift."
Here are a few of my thoughts on the MindShift Rotation 180 backpack. In this video, filmed from the top of my home territory, Glacier National Park I'll show you a few of the elements that I like most about the Mindshift Rotation 180 backpack. I'm proud to say that I know where the MindShift Rotation 180 is going to reside from now on!

BAR HARBOR - A housing complex used in part for seasonal workers in Bar Harbor might be expanding, and that raised some concerns from residents.
While quiet this time of year, neighbors said Acadia Apartments on West Street Extension, used mainly for seasonal hotel workers, can get loud and disruptive during tourist season. The developer, Ocean Properties, is looking to expand on that location, adding a couple new buildings.
At Wednesday's planning board meeting, some locals said the 90 people already living there over the summer aren't good neighbors, and that the property already does not follow local ordinances.
Others said they think it's a way to approach the housing problems in Bar Harbor.
Elizabeth Mills spoke to planning board members about the "noise, turbulance, and trespassing" she fears will come from more units. She said the new buildings would infringe on her historic home and gardens which draw people to the area. Mills also said she's found needles and trash on her property since the temporary housing started.
"The police are up there all the time at this site trying to stop the wild parties and it's really a problem," said Mills.
Others who spoke at the public hearing were town councilors who said they weren't there on behalf of the town, but as residents feel this could be part of solving the ongoing housing problem.
"That's kind of how it works," said Stephen Coston. "We need more dwelling units, and they're proposing more units."
"We have to do everything we can to provide and encourage business people to provide more housing," said Gary Friedmann.
Still others against the expansion said while temporary worker housing is needed, Ocean Properties is not following zoning ordinances. Residents said that location was supposed to be for low income full-time residents.
"This was allowed to go in there back in the 80's because it was to solve that problem...not to create a situation that is both bad for the neighborhood but also bad for the workers," said Sargent McCormick Collier.
Wednesday night's meeting lasted four and a half hours. At the end, planning board members agreed to continue discussion at their next meeting on Dec. 19th, as long as Ocean Properties gets them more information first.
Update: The night of the meeting, our news team was not able to reach Ocean Properties for official comment. Their later response can be found at a story from Dec. 6 here .

EXPOSING FAKE "CATHOLIC APOLOGIST" & FRAUD, Michael Prabhu and his illicit partner & false prophet Francis Sunil Lobo!
Exposing the false prophet and impostor, Michael Prabhu along with his illicit relational partner, Francis Sunil Lobo. This presentation is made with the collective efforts by and on behalf of several approved Catholic Ministries in India and aboard. We have not mentioned the names of the officials here, as this unethical man, Michael Prabhu, is in the habit of falsely naming and shaming individuals and their family members. In the next report we will expose startling family secrets of Sunil Francis Lobo, complaints of sexual harassment by him from former colleagues, property fraud, etc.
CATHOLIC CHURCH OFFICIAL IN INDIA REJECTS FALSE CLAIMS BY MICHAEL PRABHU THAT HE IS A "Catholic Apologist." NOW CONSIDERED A FRAUD.
Dear Mr. (NAME OF INVESTIGATOR)
This office is in receipt of your mail enquiring about one Mr. Mohan prabhu, alias Michael prabhu. In regards to your query, neither the above-mentioned individual nor his website or organisation have been in association with any diocese in India or in the region of his domicile. Your query pertaining to his use of the title "Catholic Apologist" is inconsistent with the titles issued by the Catholic Church to an unauthorised individual. Therefore, such a person is an impersonator and the Catholic Church in India rejects his claims that he is a Catholic Apologist.
A prominent preacher in Mumbai said this: How can Michael Prabhu call himself a Catholic apologist? It's like an uneducated man calling himself as a physician. He has no formal education in theology, philosophy or apologetics. He comprises of his own heretic teachings and cut, copy, pastes from various sources without citation. This is plagiarism to say the least.
FRAUD, MICHAEL PRABHU FAKES HIS OWN DEATH AND WIFE ANGELA COLLECTS OVER 11 LAKHS TOWARDS FUNERAL EXPENSES. ONCE WE HAD EXPOSED HIM, HE MODIFIED THE DATE OF HIS POST AND CALLED IT AN "APRIL FOOL" POST.
HIS WEBSITE READS: "Michael Prabhu passed away due to cardiac arrest, Please pray for him."
This blogger [MICHAEL PRABHU HIMSELF] regrets to inform that Michael Prabhu of Chennai passed away in his sleep, probably early this morning after a massive heart attack. He is survived by his wife, two sons and their wives and grandchildrens. As an apologist he has given his entire life to the church, and worked to expose error in the liturgy, catechetics, the New Age Movement, etc…. on his web site and had among other things successfully campaigned to have the 2008 New Community Bible of St Pauls withdrawn and released after being almost completely cleared of errors.
He was spiritually prepared for his death in every Catholic way having had a weak and failing heart since several years and aware he had little time.
Please pray for the eternal repose in the Lord of Michael Prabhu (he insisted that we do not use the normal "the soul of") as he maintained that a person goes to heaven, purgatory or hell spirit, soul and (eventually on the Last Day) body.
His wife Angela informs that the funeral might be delayed by a 3-4 days for outstation people like me to be able to be there. Expect an update tonight.
His landline number is 044 24611606 but there is no one to attend it as his body has been temporarily shifted to the home of his younger brother.
This blogger will continue to update this blog with selected files from Bro. Michael Prabhu's web site as I have done in the past. There are certain matters that he wished to be published on this blog in the eventuality of his death and we shall do so in the next 48 hours and thereafter when time permits.
God bless him and may he intercede for those who he left behind to fight the good fight.

CYBER CRIME CASE FILED AGAINST FRAUDSTERS MICHAEL PRABHU AND FRANCIS SUNIL LOBO.
LEGAL NOTICE TO MICHAEL PRABHU >>>
LEGAL NOTICE TO FRANCIS SUNIL LOBO>>>
CYBER CRIMINAL, FRANCIS SUNIL LOBO IS CURRENTLY AN EMPLOYEE OF ELEKTROBIT BANGALORE. THE HEAD OF HR HAS BEEN APPRAISED ON THE CASE. HIS PREVIOUS COMPANY, Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), HAD ASKED HIM TO RESIGN BASED ON THE CYBER CRIME CASE FILED.
WE HAVE NOT ATTACHED ATTACHED THE FIR COPY TO THIS DOSSIER BASED ON THE LEGAL ADVICE.
International Catholic Charismatic Renewal Services (ICCRS) rejects the claim of FAKE "Catholic Apologist" Micheal Prabhu. CONSIDERED AS A PARIAH.
Dear Brother Dixon, thank you for the kind note. We want to express our gratitude to the work that your Ministry has been involved in, especially in regards to social justice. Our prayers and support are with you.
In regards to your request for clarification, Michael prabhu is not a member of any of the Catholic Charismatic Renewal Services in India and does not work in harmony with any of our diocesan branches. He is considered as a pariah in the Christian community with no respect for the clergy or for the mission that God has entrusted us to. Most of us have our differences in opinion and we find a godly way to deal with it, but this man is erratic and vulgar in his dealings. We have been seeing this man for over 25 years, and he has only become more arrogant and unrepentant for what he has done to damage the names of individuals.
I'm sure if you're aware of this, but when the entire world was praying for the next Holy Father after the resignation of Pope Benedict the 16th, this man had a vile campaign against Cardinal Oswald Gracias and said that he will be called as pope ganesha if elected as Pope. This had severely hurt our dearest Cardinal and I'm not sure if he ever recovered from that pain. What sort of a person has so much of hatred towards God's people and God's appointed? We sometimes wondered if he carried the spirit of the antichrist.
We are very happy to see that you are taking up the cause for the injustice done to so many Catholic missionaries by that menace mp. He is one of the most unethical persons that we have seen with his lies and manipulation. In the past we have refrained from taking legal action against him because of the Church being involved. He does not operate in the right spirit. The Word of God instructs in Matthew 18 that 15 "If your brother or sister sins, go and point out their fault, just between the two of you. If they listen to you, you have won them over. But if they will not listen, take one or two others along, so that 'every matter may be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses. If they still refuse to listen, tell it to the church..."
The Scripture clearly instructs .. "If they still refuse to listen, tell it to the church..." - but this man seems to go to the devil for instructions.
United Nations body honors Dr. Dixon
Dr. Dixon was stationed at the UN HQ in Vienna, Austria, representing CIFAL Bengaluru, an UN body as the Head of R&D. Knowing this, the FRAUD, MICAEL PRABHU and his illicit partner, FRANCIS SUNIL LOB had written to the United Nations Head Quarters in Geneva, Switzerland, falsely alleging that there were on-going cases against Dr. Dominic Dixon of grave concern; in the US and Canada.
After a thorough enquiry by the UN body, it was found that the allegations against Dr. Dixon were falsified, manipulated and were baseless with concocted evidence. It was also asserted that Dr. Dixon's academic credentials and transcripts were verified by the "apostille" of two first world embassies.
Dr. Dixon was issued an apology and compensated. Evidence of this claim, is that Dr. Dixon's name is honourably mentioned on the UN website till date., please verify at http://www.cifal-bangalore.org/team.html
United Nations body CHAIRMAN, APOLOGISES TO DR. DOMINIC DIXON, after being misled by this fraud, Michael Prabhu.
Dear Dominic,
A lot has happened since we last met and some of it is hard to forget. I honestly feel for very badly for the hurts you have gone through, believe me. I would love to meet with you and talk, but even this needs time, I am sure. God will work out the best time.
MR. X (BOARD MEMBER) brought me up to speed after his time with you. Please let me say I am sorry for anything I did to aggravate the harm the person from Canada [Bruce Phillipowsky, US & Michael Prabhu, India] attempted to bring to you. I was shattered by all that happened and anything done was in moments of weakness and being hurt myself. Forgive me Dom.
Through it all you will have realised how unreliable we human beings are. I am not perfect and know my faults. Had it not been for God's grace, I would be nowhere. And so the last thing I want to do is to think of others as perfect, and even more – to harm them.
So again, I am sorry for what you have gone through and praise God you have come out of it. You can be assured that I have prayed for your welfare and will continue to do so.
Dr. Ken Gnanakan,
Chairman, CIFAL BENGALURU, UNITAR

INTERNATIONAL MINISTRY CALLS MICHAEL PRABHU A FRAUD - WITH REBUTTALS
Here, Mr. Prabhu does a bit of "quote-mining" - a deceptive practice in which a person's own words are turned against them. Mr. Prabhu leaves out a whole lot of context surrounding this quote. You can easily see why Mr. Prabhu chose to leave all of that context out. It would have completely defused his point. from there, Mr. Prabhu does something very deceptive and dishonest. He copies large portions of my website, including the aforementioned paper, and edits out the parts that do not support his opinion. Mr. Prabhu, what you have done here is wrong. It is a bearing of false witness, and I'm certain if you check your Bible, you'll find that there's a commandment against such things - check Exodus 20:16. While you have it open, have a look at Leviticus 19:11, Deuteronomy 5:20, Proverbs 12:22, Ephesians 4:25 (just one chapter in front of your website's namesake), and Revelation 21:8.

VICIOUS CAMPAIGN AGAINST DR. DOMINIC DIXON
During the vicious campaign carried out by fraudster Michael Prabhu and his illicit partner Francis Sunil Lobo, against Dr. Dominic Dixon; Holy Spirit Interactive Ministries and the Bangalore Catholic Charismatic Renewal stood by Dr. Dixon because they were well aware of his background and the false case against him which he had already won twenty years ago, while he was still a teenager. These two evil men had created a conspiracy theory about an old 'misdemeanour' that was long exonerated and has no bearing on Dr. Dixon. Dr. Dixon though a resident of Canada, chose to do his mission work in India for several years after moving to Europe with the United Nations. He spent the summer of 2017 in Canada, thereby negating all allegations about his status in Canada. Conspirator Michael Prabhu had stated that Dr. Dixon was deported from Canada for a most heinous crime and would never be allowed in North America. The question is, if Dr. Dixon was deported for such a heinous crime, how has he been a frequent traveller to North America? Why haven't these evil men Michael Prabhu & Francis Lobo verified the definition of the case and all that has transpired in the last 20 years before maligning Dr. Dixon? Well, the courts will ask these questions to these perverts of the truth.
FRAUDSTERS AND FAKE CATHOLIC APOLOGIST, MICHAEL PRABHU creates a conspiracy theory aginst powerful deliverance Ministry of Br. Christopher Correa, the Archbishop of Bangalore and the Chairman of the BCCRS.
BR. CHRISTOPHER CORREA, a well respected Catholic leader in India, is the head of the Light of Christ Ministry in India, an internationally approved Ministry. No where else has it been heard of so many Priest coming to a training program on Deliverance. When God has been using this Ministry to equip priests, evil possessed man Michael Prabhu has heavily condemned this ministry and sent his illicit partner Francis Lobo as a spy.
A Bishop stated that such a program on Deliverance by Br. Christopher is the best thing that has happened in the Catholic Church in a long time. Several Priests and Nuns have testified about the need of such a program to educate the Church and how it has helped them deal with issues about deliverance. One National Service Team member has endorsed Br. Christopher's character as "A man filled with wisdom and obedience to the Church."
BR. CHRISTOPHER WAS COMMISSIONED AND HAS UNDERGONE AN OFFICIAL TRAINING ON EXORCISM AND DELIVERANCE AT THE VATICAN.

The Honeywell K0991 is an AC power adapter used to provide constant power to a 5828 or 5828V wireless alarm keypad. The K0991 is a regulated adapter with a fixed output voltage of 5VDC and a maximum power output of 220mA. Unlike an AC transformer, an AC power adapter has an attached wire to connect the power supply to the alarm device.
The Honeywell 5828 and 5828V wireless alarm keypads are battery powered devices by default. They use (3) standard AA alkaline batteries which can be replaced by accessing the battery compartment on the backside of the alarm keypad. However, to preserve battery life, Honeywell has designed the 5828 and 5828V to enter a sleep mode after (15) seconds of inactivity. While this keeps you from having to constantly replace batteries, it also can be an inconvenience. Unfortunately, once the alarm keypads enter sleep mode, the only way to wake them back up is by pressing the [*] key. The keypads will not wake up when you enter the programmed delay zone and if you forget that your security system is armed, you may be startled by a false alarm. We have heard that some customers, especially those with lots of users, find this a design defect of the Honeywell wireless alarm keypads.
Fortunately, even if it is a defect, it can be easily fixed by using a Honeywell K0991 AC power adapter. Simply plug the power adapter's DC plug into the input connector on the backside of the 5828 or 5828V keypad and then plug the K0991 into a standard unswitched wall outlet. The alarm keypad will stay active and will not enter sleep mode as long as the K0991 is plugged in. Anyone that is purchasing, or already has purchased, a 5828 or 5828V should seriously consider adding the optional AC power adapter.
Even when using the Honeywell K0991 AC power adapter, you should still keep the (3) AA batteries installed in your wireless alarm keypad. If you do, the alarm keypads can still operate during a power outage. You will need to press the [*] key to wake up the keypad because it will have gone to sleep after the power outage, but at least you still have a means of operating the keypad without having to fumble in the dark for batteries. Please note that after the power is restored, you must hit the [*] key to switch the keypad back to AC power mode.
Every 5828DM desk mount kit includes a K0991 AC power adapter so consider the 5828DM if you want to keep your keypad powered at all times and be able to use it from a desk or counter top. Also, your 5828 or 5828V alarm keypad may still take up to (5) seconds to display your alarm control panel's system status even when using the K0991.
How Do I Take My Honeywell Wireless Keypad Off Sleep Mode?
When you say "standard" outlet box, are you referring to a single gang receptacle? I would get a recessed duplex (aka Clock Receptacle) similar to one that can be installed behind a flat mount TV. Get one that is a duplex (Two outlets) and it should fit fine. Left to right is not an issue. However the vertical height may be too large for a single outlet clock receptacle.

Chitin Signaling in Plants: Insights into the Perception of Fungal Pathogens and Rhizobacterial Symbionts
Eckardt, N.A. (2008).The Plant Cell, Chitin Signaling in Plants: Insights into the Perception of Fungal Pathogens and Rhizobacterial Symbionts, American Society of Plant Biologists, Vol. 20: 241–243
In addition to the R gene–mediated pathways of plant resistance to specific pathogens, plants have the capacity to recognize a number of microbial surface-derived molecules, which elicit a general immune response in both host and nonhost plants. These are known as pathogen-associated or microbe-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs/MAMPs), so named because they are presumed to contain a structure or a pattern that is absent from eukaryotic host molecules and allows the host to recognize a microbial (and potentially pathogenic) invader. Many PAMPs that have been identified are essential for microbial metabolism or for penetration and invasion of a host cell and are therefore broadly conserved among diverse microbial pathogens (Parker, 2003). These include lipopolysaccharides of Gram-negative bacteria, peptidoglycans from Gram-positive bacteria, eubacterial flagellin, and glucans, chitins, and proteins derived from fungal cell walls (Nürnberger and Brunner, 2002).
Chitin is a polymer of N-acetyl-D-glucosamine that is a major component of fungal cell walls and has been recognized as a general elicitor of plant defense responses for many years (Boller, 1995). Fungal infection induces the expression of chitinases in plant cells, and these chitin-degrading enzymes accumulate at the site of invasion. In addition to the direct effect of limiting fungal invasion by degrading the fungal cell wall, the resulting chitin fragments (chitooligosaccharides) also appear to function as elicitors of numerous downstream defense response genes. Interestingly, Nod factors, which are produced by rhizobia (symbiotic N2-fixing bacteria) and are essential for the induction of the nodulation process in legumes, are chitin-related molecules (lipochitooligosaccacharides). The predicted Nod factor receptor proteins NFR1 and NFR5 in legumes are LysM domain–containing receptor-like kinases (LysM RLKs) (Limpens et al., 2003; Radutoiu et al., 2003). The LysM RLKs represent a relatively large plant-specific protein family present in nonlegumes and legumes (Zhang et al., 2007) and have been considered good candidates for playing a role in fungal chitin perception.
In this issue of The Plant Cell, Wan et al. (pages 471–481) show that LysM RLK1 is required for chitin signaling in Arabidopsis. The authors demonstrate that a mutation in RLK1 blocks the induction of chitooligosaccharide-responsive genes and leads to enhanced susceptibility of plants to fungal pathogens. These results are similar to those reported recently by Miya et al. (2007), who also showed that LysM RLK1 (called CERK1 by these authors) is essential for the chitin response in Arabidopsis. Both of these studies provide strong evidence that LysM RLK1 is involved in the perception of chitin and that it plays a role in resistance to fungal diseases. The work of Wan et al. also provides interesting insights into the evolution of Nod factor signaling, suggesting that some elements of Nod factor perception and signaling, which is specific to legumes, may be derived from the more general system of fungal chitin perception.
Arabidopsis encodes five LysM RLKs (RLK1-5) that are similar to the Nod factor receptor proteins NFR1 and NFR5 in legumes, and Wan et al. obtained homozygous T-DNA insertion mutants of all five of these genes to study their potential role in chitin perception and signaling. The authors treated all of these mutants with a purified chitooligosaccharide (chitooctaose) and monitored the expression of several genes previously shown to be induced by such treatment. The LysM RLK1 insertional mutant lacked any chitin induction of all tested genes, whereas the mutations in the other four RLK genes had no effect, suggesting a specific role for LysM RLK1 in chitin signaling. Whole-genome expression analysis using microarrays showed that of hundreds of genes regulated by chitooctaose (nearly 900 genes showing significant induction or repression in wild-type Arabidopsis), only a handful (33) were weakly induced or repressed in the LysM RLK1 mutant, demonstrating that the chitin-responsive pathway in this mutant was almost completely blocked. This shows that LysM RLK1 is critical for chitin perception and signal transduction.
Interestingly, Kaku et al. (2006) previously identified a LysM domain–containing receptor protein, called CEBiP, that is important for chitin perception in rice. However, CEBiP lacks an intracellular kinase domain, so it is unclear how it participates in signal transduction. The characterization of LysM RLK1 raises the possibility that CEBiP interacts, directly or indirectly, with LysM RLK1, although a homolog has not been identified in rice. Arabidopsis contains three CEBiP-like proteins, all of which similarly lack the kinase domain, so it will be of interest to determine if these proteins participate with LysM RLK1 in chitin perception and signaling.
Wan et al. next conducted experiments to determine if the LysM RLK1 mutant was affected in its response to fungal pathogens, as would be expected if the chitin-responsive pathway plays an important role in pathogen defense. Mutant plants were found to be more susceptible to the biotrophic powdery mildew fungal pathogen Erysiphe cichoracearum and to the necrotrophic fungus Alternaria brassicicola. The effect was moderate rather than severe, but no effect was observed in response to a Pseudomonas bacterial pathogen, suggesting that the RLK1-dependent pathway may be induced specifically by fungal invaders but that it is only one of several pathways involved in defense against these pathogens.
To investigate potential overlap of RLK1-dependent signaling with other defense-related signaling pathways, LysM RLK1 mutant and wild-type plants were treated with salicylic acid (SA), methyl jasmonic acid (MeJA), 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC), and the bacterial PAMP flagellin, and expression of known early-responsive genes to these treatments was monitored. Both the mutant and wild-type plants showed similar induction of PR-1 by SA, PDF1.2 by MeJA or ACC, and four selected early flagellin-responsive genes, suggesting that RLK1 operates independently of these other defense-related signaling pathways, at least in the early stages. However, microarray analysis suggested downstream convergence of signaling pathways induced by chitin and the bacterial PAMPs flagellin and EF-Tu, as the expression of a large number of genes (>400) was found to be upregulated by all three elicitors. In addition, exogenously applied chitooligosaccharides were found to enhance resistance of plants to subsequent challenge with both fungal and bacterial pathogens. These data support previous work suggesting that different PAMPs activate a common downstream pathway to induce pathogen resistance (e.g., Asai et al., 2002).
Since chitooligosaccharides also induce defense-related genes in legumes, the authors next investigated whether NFR1 and NRF5 in Lotus japonicus might be involved in general chitin signaling, in addition to their specialized roles in Nod factor signaling. Expression of selected chitooligosaccharide-responsive genes was similarly induced in response to chitooctaose treatment in L. japonicus wild-type and nfr1 and nfr5 mutant plants, showing that these LysM RLKs do not participate in general chitin signaling. The similarity between these LysM RLKs suggests that they are evolutionarily related, but the NFR proteins appear to have evolved a specific function in Nod factor perception and signaling, as previously suggested (Zhang et al., 2007).
Previous work has identified several Leu-rich repeat RLKs in Arabidopsis as receptors for important bacterial-derived PAMPs, including the flagellin receptor FLS2 (Gomez-Gomez and Boller, 2000) and more recently the bacterial elogation factor EF-Tu receptor EFR (Zipfel et al., 2006). Miya et al. (2007) and Wan et al. (2008) provide important new information on fungal-derived PAMPs with the identification of LysM RLK1 as a component of chitin perception and signaling. In addition, the work suggests a potential evolutionary link between the recognition of pathogenic microbes and symbiotic beneficial microbes. It will be of great interest to determine how the plant can distinguish between a benefical symbiont (rhizobia) and a detrimental pathogen (fungi) when the signals (lipo-chitin Nod factors and chitin elicitors) and initial perception mechanisms (LysM RLKs) are structurally very similar (see figure ). What are the downstream components that allow divergence of these pathways to direct the appropriate responses in each case? Further investigation into the functions of other members of the LysM RLK family may provide additional clues as to how plants distinguish between beneficial versus pathogenic microbes.

Q: Meteor Accounts Routing I use Meteor Accounts package but not the accounts-ui.
If I send a verify email when user is created the following link is provided in the email: http://localhost:3000/#/verify-email/06apVGBQypZAzpXZp4bPOYzn0-jCS9rR7ENkr8jkQRr
If I open this link this route is redirected to http://localhost:3000/# and the template I defined for / is rendered. I can then access the Accounts._verifyEmailToken thats not a problem. But I dont want this route /# to be taken.
How can I say the Accounts package that I want to be redirected to my the route I want (in my case /app)?
My attempts so far:

*

*Redirect /# with iron router to /app ==> not working

*Having a look in the source code of accounts package. There are URLS provided with Meteor.absoluteUrl. But I don't want to change the source code of the package.

What ideas do you have to let the package route to /app afterwards and still have the token accessable in javascript?

A: You can configure the url of the different mails in the Account package, like this
 Accounts.urls.verifyEmail= function(token){
    return Meteor.absoluteUrl("/app/"+token+"/");
 };

Just overwrite the method on the server side.

O Campeonato da Liga Paulista Foot-Ball de 1916 foi a décima quinta edição dessa competição de futebol entre clubes de futebol paulistanos filiados à LPF e é reconhecido como legítima edição do Campeonato Paulista de Futebol pela FPF.

Disputado por 14 equipes, o campeonato da LPF ocorreu entre 21 de maio e 26 de novembro de 1916 e teve o Corinthians como vencedor e o União Lapa como o segundo lugar.

O artilheiro da competição foi Aparício, do Corinthians, com 7 gols.

História
A edição de 1916 estava planejada para ser disputada em 26 jogos por cada uma das 14 equipes em turno e returno, mas a competição foi encerrada bem antes por conta do enfraquecimento e subsequente encerramento da LPF. Ao todo, foram 51 jogos e 122 gols marcados (uma média de 2,39 por partida).

Última edição de um torneio organizado pela liga pioneira do futebol paulista, a competição daquele ano ficou marcada pelo cancelamento de diversas partidas e o encerramento no primeiro terço da competição, um sinal inequívoco do declínio da LPF, cada vez mais fragilizada com o progresso e prestígio crescentes da rival Associação Paulista de Esportes Atléticos.

A FPF reconhece oficialmente duas competições como legítimas edições do Campeonato Paulista de Futebol de 1916, cada uma das quais organizadas por uma entidade diferente, uma pela Liga Paulista de Foot-Ball e outra pela Associação Paulista de Esportes Atléticos.

For much of the West, the narrative of Singapore—a modern Southeast Asian city-state perched on an island on the tip of the Malay Peninsula—has been marked largely by its government's strict laws and unwavering enforcement of them . . . As much as I understand these outside viewpoints, I have always lamented that the quirky and dark complexities of my native country's culture rarely seem to make it past its borders . . .
Beneath its sparkling veneer is a country teeming with shadows . . . And its stories remain. The rich stories that attracted literary lions W. Somerset Maugham and Rudyard Kipling to hold court at the Raffles Hotel (where the Singapore Sling was created) are still sprinkled throughout its neighborhoods. And in the following pages, you'll get the chance to discover some of them . . .
You'll find stories from some of the best contemporary writers in Singapore—three of them winners of the Singapore Literature Prize, essentially the country's Pulitzer: Simon Tay, writing as Donald Tee Quee Ho, tells the story of a hard-boiled detective who inadvertently wends his way into the underbelly of organized crime, Colin Cheong shows us a surprising side to the country's ubiquitous cheerful 'taxi uncle,' while Suchen Christine Lim spins a wistful tale of a Chinese temple medium whose past resurges to haunt her . . .
