Q: Warning about SSL connection when connecting to MySQL database With the two classes below, I've tried connect to a MySQL database. However, I always get this error:

Wed Dec 09 22:46:52 CET 2015 WARN: Establishing SSL connection without server's identity verification is not recommended. According to MySQL 5.5.45+, 5.6.26+ and 5.7.6+ requirements SSL connection must be established by default if explicit option isn't set. For compliance with existing applications not using SSL the verifyServerCertificate property is set to 'false'. You need either to explicitly disable SSL by setting useSSL=false, or set useSSL=true and provide truststore for server certificate verification.

This is the test class with the main method:
public class TestDatabase {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Database db = new Database();
        try {
            db.connect();
        } catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
        db.close();
    }
}

This is the Database class:
import java.sql.Connection;
import java.sql.DriverManager;
import java.sql.SQLException;

public class Database {

    private Connection con;

    public void connect() throws Exception{

        if(con != null) return;

        try {
            Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver");
        } catch (ClassNotFoundException e) {
            throw new Exception("No database");
        }

        String connectionURL = "jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/Peoples";

        con = DriverManager.getConnection(connectionURL, "root", "milos23");
    }

    public void close(){
        if(con != null){
            try {
                con.close();
            } catch (SQLException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
        }
    }
}

A: This was OK for me:
this.conn = (Connection)DriverManager
    .getConnection(url + dbName + "?useSSL=false", userName, password);

A: To disable the warning while connecting to a database in Java, use the below concept −
autoReconnect=true&useSSL=false

Just need to change connectionURL like :
String connectionURL = jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/Peoples?autoReconnect=true&useSSL=false

This will disable SSL and also suppress the SSL errors.

A: Your connection URL should look like the below,
jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/Peoples?autoReconnect=true&useSSL=false

This will disable SSL and also suppress the SSL errors.

A: I use this property for hibernate in config xml
<property name="hibernate.connection.url">
jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/bookshop?serverTimezone=UTC&useSSL=false
</property>

without - serverTimezone=UTC  - it doesn't work

A: Solution
To fix it, append a useSSL=false at the end of the MySQL connection string :
ex.
application.properties
mysql datasource
spring.datasource.url=jdbc:mysql://localhost/dbname?useSSL=false
spring.datasource.username=root
spring.datasource.password=password
spring.datasource.driver-class-name=com.mysql.jdbc.Driver

A: The defaults for initiating a connection to a MySQL server were changed in the recent past, and (from a quick look through the most popular questions and answers on stack overflow) the new values are causing a lot of confusion. What is worse is that the standard advice seems to be to disable SSL altogether, which is a bit of a disaster in the making.
Now, if your connection is genuinely not exposed to the network (localhost only) or you are working in a non-production environment with no real data, then sure: there's no harm in disabling SSL by including the option useSSL=false.
For everyone else, the following set of options are required to get SSL working with certificate and host verification:

*

*useSSL=true

*sslMode=VERIFY_IDENTITY

*trustCertificateKeyStoreUrl=file:path_to_keystore

*trustCertificateKeyStorePassword=password

As an added bonus, seeing as you're already playing with the options, it is simple to disable the weak SSL protocols too:

*

*enabledTLSProtocols=TLSv1.2

Example
So as a working example you'll need to follow the following broad steps:
First, make sure you have a valid certificate generated for the MySQL server host, and that the CA certificate is installed onto the client host (if you are using self-signed, then you'll likely need to do this manually, but for the popular public CAs it'll already be there).
Next, make sure that the java keystore contains all the CA certificates. On Debian/Ubuntu this is achieved by running:
update-ca-certificates -f
chmod 644 /etc/ssl/certs/java/cacerts

Then finally, update the connection string to include all the required options, which on Debian/Ubuntu would be something a bit like (adapt as required):
jdbc:mysql://{mysql_server}/confluence?useSSL=true&sslMode=VERIFY_IDENTITY&trustCertificateKeyStoreUrl=file%3A%2Fetc%2Fssl%2Fcerts%2Fjava%2Fcacerts&trustCertificateKeyStorePassword=changeit&enabledTLSProtocols=TLSv1.2&useUnicode=true&characterEncoding=utf8

Reference: https://beansandanicechianti.blogspot.com/2019/11/mysql-ssl-configuration.html

A: Mention the url like:
jdbc:mysql://hostname:3306/hibernatedb?autoReconnect=true&useSSL=false

But in xml configuration when you mention & sign, the IDE shows below error:

The reference to entity "useSSL" must end with the ';' delimiter.

And then you have to explicitly use the & instead of & to be determined as & by xml thereafter in xml you have to give the url in xml configuration like this:
<property name="connection.url">jdbc:mysql://hostname:3306/hibernatedb?autoReconnect=true&useSSL=false</property>

A: An alternative method would be:
Properties properties = new Properties();
properties.setProperty("user", "root");
properties.setProperty("password", "milos23);
properties.setProperty("useSSL", "false");

try (Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection(connectionUrl, properties)) {
...
} catch (SQLException e) {
...
}

A: the new versions of mysql-connector establish SSL connection by default ...to solve it:
Download the older version of mysql-connector such as mysql-connector-java-5.0.8.zip
.
.
or
.
.
Download OpenSSL for Windows and follow the instructions how to set it

A: Per https://dev.mysql.com/doc/connector-j/8.0/en/connector-j-connp-props-security.html, sslModel property replaced the deprecated legacy properties useSSL, requireSSL, and verifyServerCertificate. So, you could use the connection string sslModel=DISABLED.

A: How about using SSL but turning off server verification (such as when in development mode on your own computer):
jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/Peoples?verifyServerCertificate=false&useSSL=true

A: Use this to solve the problem in hive while making connection with MySQL
<property>
   <name>javax.jdo.option.ConnectionURL</name>
   <value>jdbc:mysql://localhost/metastore?createDatabaseIfNotExist=true&autoReconnect=true&useSSL=false</value>
   <description>metadata is stored in a MySQL server</description>
</property>

A: I found this warning too then I fixed it by using SSL=false suffix to the connection string like this example code.
Example:
connectionString = "jdbc:mysql://{server-name}:3306/%s?useUnicode=yes&characterEncoding=UTF-8&useSSL=false"

A: you need to user your mysql path like this:
<property name="url" value="jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/world?useSSL=true"/>

A: Since I am currently in development mode I set useSSL to No not in tomcat but in mysql server configurations. Went to Manage Access Settings\Manage Server Connections from workbench -> Selected my connection. Inside connection tab went to SSL tab and disabled the settings. Worked for me.

A: As of 8.0.13 the useSSL parameter is now deprecated and you should use sslMode:
MySQL :: MySQL Connector/J 8.0 Developer Guide :: 6.3.5 Security

sslMode
By default, network connections are SSL encrypted; this property
permits secure connections to be turned off, or a different levels of
security to be chosen. The following values are allowed: "DISABLED" -
Establish unencrypted connections; "PREFERRED" - (default) Establish
encrypted connections if the server enabled them, otherwise fall back
to unencrypted connections; "REQUIRED" - Establish secure connections
if the server enabled them, fail otherwise; "VERIFY_CA" - Like
"REQUIRED" but additionally verify the server TLS certificate against
the configured Certificate Authority (CA) certificates;
"VERIFY_IDENTITY" - Like "VERIFY_CA", but additionally verify that the
server certificate matches the host to which the connection is
attempted.
This property replaced the deprecated legacy properties "useSSL",
"requireSSL", and "verifyServerCertificate", which are still accepted
but translated into a value for "sslMode" if "sslMode" is not
explicitly set: "useSSL=false" is translated to "sslMode=DISABLED";
Unknown macro: {"useSSL=true", "requireSSL=false",
"verifyServerCertificate=false"} is translated to "sslMode=PREFERRED";
Unknown macro: {"useSSL=true", "requireSSL=true",
"verifyServerCertificate=false"} is translated to "sslMode=REQUIRED";
Unknown macro: {"useSSL=true" AND "verifyServerCertificate=true"} is
translated to "sslMode=VERIFY_CA". There is no equivalent legacy
settings for "sslMode=VERIFY_IDENTITY". Note that, for ALL server
versions, the default setting of "sslMode" is "PREFERRED", and it is
equivalent to the legacy settings of "useSSL=true",
"requireSSL=false", and "verifyServerCertificate=false", which are
different from their default settings for Connector/J 8.0.12 and
earlier in some situations. Applications that continue to use the
legacy properties and rely on their old default settings should be
reviewed.
The legacy properties are ignored if "sslMode" is set explicitly. If
none of "sslMode" or "useSSL" is set explicitly, the default setting
of "sslMode=PREFERRED" applies.
Default Value PREFERRED Since Version 8.0.13

A: Please update your mysql connector. That will help.

A: If your connection is genuinely exposed to the network or you are working in a production environment with real data, then sure: we shouldn't be disabling SSL by including the option useSSL=false.
Try to update the JDBC connection string to include the latest protocol version as foloowing: jdbc:mysql://:/?enabledTLSProtocols=TLSv1.2
We have to explicitly mention the type of TLS protocol while establishing the DB connection in JDK 11.

A: Simply use Platform Independent zip or tar

The mystery at the heart of the Milky Way Galaxy: Astronomers swing years later above the clouds at the center of the galaxy
The mystery at the heart of the Milky Way galaxy: Astronomers are still arguing about 70 years of mushroom clouds in the center of the galaxy … Was it caused by an explosion of stars or a black hole swallowing a gas cloud?
The strange cloud was first observed in the 1950s and was named North Polar Spur
Experts have come up with many ideas including exploding stars, but they lack evidence
Now the new images may have helped solve the mystery at the center of our galaxy
Written by Anthony Thrower for Mailonline
Published: 14:07 ET, January 9, 2021 | Updated: 19:41 ET, January 9, 2021
The yellow clouds tens of thousands of light-years up from the center of the Milky Way, and which have puzzled astrophysicists for more than 70 years, may have a final explanation.
Space experts discovered the celestial mystery hanging above our galactic house in the 1950s and named it North Polar Spur.
At first people thought it was just a portion of space debris in the night sky, but some astronomers have argued that it was part of an expanding shock wave.
For this to be true, another cloud could have been seen below the Milky Way galaxy but no evidence of this was discovered until 2010, a space telescope captured a very faint, gamma-way glow from two huge bubbles.
Yellow clouds seen rising from the center of the Milky Way have made experts scratching their heads for decades.
And now new images from the orbiting telescope known as eROSITA help make two concrete views.
READ This breathtaking close-up of Mars "Grand Canyon" gives us goosebumps
Based on the energy needed to make the huge mushroom cloud bubbles, experts say the first option was a wave of thousands of stars suddenly appearing and then instantly exploding.
The alternative option suggests that the supermassive black hole at the core of our galaxy may have picked up a large cloud of passing gas, eating up half of the cloud as its energy spewed above and below the Milky Way, causing bubbles.
John Kataoka, an astronomer at Waseda University in Japan, said of the first idea: " The abundance of the mineral is very small.
The new images from the orbiting telescope helped astronomers come up with two ideas of what yellow clouds are
"So I don't think the starburst activity happened."
Peter Bredahl, an astrophysicist at the Max Planck Institute for Extraterrestrial Physics in Germany, added that he agreed that the second idea is the most likely:
He said: We did some analyzes.
'I now think [the debate] Done more or less.
The two teams agree with that, there was a massive eruption in the galactic center about 15 to 20 million years ago that we can still see today.
Researchers at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, California Institute of Technology and Santiago High School suggested last year that the Milky Way might be home to alien civilizations, but there is a strong possibility that most of them are dead.
The statement comes from whoever used an updated version of an equation to calculate the potential existence of intelligent life, and designed aliens may have appeared about eight billion years after our galaxy was formed.
READ Melting icebergs in Antarctica could lead to a chain reaction to a new ice age
With these results, the team included the idea that the advancement of science and technology inevitably leads to the destruction of civilizations and because humans have not yet communicated outside of our planet, scientists now believe they know why.

The aftereffect was Rocket League's predecessor, which would end up with the adverse appellation of Supersonic Acrobatic Rocket-Powered Activity Cars (Battle Cars for short) Rocket League Crates. Arise on Playstation 3 in 2008, the multiplayer admission was basically Rocket League, but the accent was on a abounding single-player admission and the media wasn't interested. It admiring a baby affiliation of amorous players, but it never bankrupt through.


Looks like the SE won't have to wait too long for the next burst of wet windy weather. The front currently developing well south of WA is forecast to approach western Victoria on Friday, with a parent low likely to pass south of Tasmania over the weekend into next week. In terms of rain, this system looks likely to tap some significant moisture from the Indian Ocean and have a significant rain band associated with it - it also starts out really mild with 850T possibly getting to near 10C in SW NSW ahead of the first front. Subsequent fronts then bring unstable NW then eventually SW conditions with cooling temperatures.
Rainfall totals a few days out are always questionable, but the current model consensus shows widespread 15-25mm falls, with large areas above 25mm.
Was about to start a thread for the same system . Yeah looking OK for some follow up rain out of this but not getting to excited until I see a cloudband developing. Plenty of moisture from the Indian Ocean should see this develop a nice rainband so here's hoping. Models are pretty close to eachother which is always a good sign. Lets just hope they stay that way.
Well EC seems to stall the rain through C VIC now into Saturday with the low in the Pacific determining how far east the whole complex moves. Then a westerly belt for next week which looks ok.
US still showing signs of tapping into significant moisture and rain late week in the west and north.
Progs have wiggled but pattern looks pretty much the same. GFS may well be over doing totals - let's hope its right. EC has more like 10-25mm in the north and 25mm+ in the south/ranges of Vic.
Would be great to get two rain events in a month - doesn't happen often now-a-days!
PS just looked at the EC ensemble. That actually looks rather like GFS for totals, which suggests the potential for an upgrade.
PPS Malleefarmer - you need to get in quicker on new threads.
EC was showing substantial moisture in and around 700hPa in the 00z run last night so perhaps there is hope with US. US has been consistent in giving us a reasonable drop.
Yeah I am with US at this stage, as you can see it reflected in my forecast, and we could see above 50-60mm of rain across parts of the state with that scenario, and it's good to see consistent model runs at the moment. It will be interesting to see what happens as we get closer to the actual day, perhaps an upgrade from EC and GFS and I might add GFS (US) has been very good this year so far IMO.
Jake I agree on GFS being a bit more accurate of late but still overcooking totals so thinking 10-25 is about as high as I would go for here unless things change for the better. And Hillbilly, had been thinking about it for a day or so just waiting to see of the thing collapsed. We both must have thought it was right at the same time!
Latest US is tricky to read. If your looking at the BSCH page, you may have to break it down day to day to realise that there is a major frontal passage due towards the end of the week run into next week. I think the weekend system will be modest across the state but it has a lot to do with what happens up over the East Coast with the upper disturbance turning into a surface low and how quickly that heads eastwards and how much moisture is lifted from the NW.
Really not surprised by the slight downgrade, it is not the worst rainfall system I have seen at present, this morning and last few days it has been looking favourable. NE VIC and the SW should do best initially as it predominantly NW/W stream as the next LWT develops SW of VIC into early next week. From that point on then we will see better rain periods/showers and storms across the state with snow returning.
I still expect 5-15mm across much of VIC and higher falls about the dividing range, SW and NE slopes, where 30-75mm is possible over the weekend.
Already down to just 4C here with no winds. Minimum temps for the east are too high already!! Down to -2C - -4C in the eastern and northern suburbs.
By crikey it is going to be a cold night, might even have to let the dogs in. Id reckon I might get down to 1, might even go less. Those snow machnes will be going off, be a great time to be skiiing if youre into that.
Interesting that while GFS has had a slight down grade EC has upgraded and has significant rainfall over the weekend into next week (with very wet conditions in southern Victoria mid/late next week). It's still a bit early to read the details, but the significant infeed of Indian Ocean moisture into the Friday/Saturday system suggests the potential for widespread 10-25mm falls. This system doesn't look great at the surface but has a significant northerly jet which will be driving good upslide. It also take quite a while to move through so rain could last for quite a while.
Pretty much an ideal setup for here. If it comes off the way models are saying right now we'd be looking at 25-50mm easy. Melbourne and south of the ranges and most of the rest of the state away from the SW and ranges look more in the range of 10-25mm as David has noted. Potential for not only major runoff in the catchments but also some moderate flooding in the NE with the potential rainfall. EC and GFS both going nuts for mid to late next week with the LWT strengthening and bombing lows in the southern ocean, EC has some intense southerlies, I guess this would mean very wet and cold like the winters of old. Snow galore down to low levels, major flooding etc. but lets not get too far ahead of ourselves, haha!
EDIT: Anyone else mystified by the current BOM forecast? What's even more mystifying is that the forecasters from the BOM are backing it up on radio and in the media (that we will get very little rain this weekend). Anyone can shed some light on this?
probably because we won't get alot of rain. Just a few showers, and maybe not even that out here! I don't see much falling really, unless you live in outer eastern suburbs possibly!
Well to me it looks very good this weekend with a slow moving rainband crossing the state. US keeps the best falls across the weekend over the north and ranges but spills some south of the divide as well and EC stalls the band over C VIC as the low in the southern ocean slips south for a period.
Next week looks wild with a deep SSW flow and extensive showers and rain mid week with another system late in ECs run.
Must admit that I don't anticipate a lot in Melbourne city over the weekend (probably another rain shadow event), but away from Melbourne it does look promising. EC, GASP and JMA are all then wild for next week with unstable SW flow. Would not be surprised to see the city and western burbs only get 2-5mm Sat/Sun. The upslide will likely be weakening on Saturday with the rain as the winds tend increasingly westerly so the best is likely in the north and west.
Well I don't mind which models comes off as long as it rains! Frost was not as bad as expected this morning just waiting on this event starting up now! By tonight I reckon forecasts will be accurate enough to get a good idea of what we are likley to get for the weekend. More follow up next week would really get things going and we could see some moderate flooding in areas that are now now and flowing from this weekends system.
I have friends in Lake Dartmouth (such a beautiful place!!) that said things are really full in the rivers, around the Mitta Mitta moving downstream that more rain could put it into flood. I would think that is inevitable.
I think the weekend won't be too bad, still not much change from the past few days, still expecting 5-15mm through the region here and more up along the divide.
Looking at 10-20mm up there Anthony.
One of the coldest nights we've had out here in the past 5 years I reckon-got down to -3.9C at 4.30am this morning in a full frost. Blue skies and full sunshine here now but the temps are really struggling to get up, still only around 3C now.
These weather events really aren't favouring Gippsland at all-again this weekend looks like a largely NE and SW VIC event. The lows and fronts are consistently peaking before they enter the state, ensuring that by the time they make it over the ranges this far east, any remaining rain bands are ripped to shreds. We haven't really had a fall over 30mm out of any event this year-backed up by the local Met office yesterday, which has just recorded the lowest 6 month rainfall on record.
If we don't get a big rain/huge snow dump out this way soon theres gonna be a few disappointed dairy farmers and irrigator's out this way come summer, as the Glenmaggie weir is quite dry at the moment and their respective allocations will be reduced to a mere puddle!
It has been a little slow out in the east with no real deep lows forming off the Gippsland coast and the big falls being restricted to W Gippsland in W winds.
I think this time next week a significant band of rain should spread into the east of the state and a few days of solid showers to follow as a resolving SSW wind develops near a deepening LWT/Low pressure complex. I can see 20-40mm for most of us by the end of next week.
Well Scot williams is off the wagon. He was saying on ABC that there would olny be light patchy falls over the weekend. Dunno what he based that on but he said that the first rainband would be weakening.
Not too concerned about the BoM falling off the rails with it because most models hinting at reasonable rainfall. Even they're own Rain forecast is going for 10-25mm across a wide area this weekend. So more time is needed.
Certainly looks alright for western Vic this weekend.. especially if GFS is anything to go by! The last few runs have been going for totals up to 100mm in eastern parts of SA and between 50-75 in western Victoria! Personally tho' the early and mid part of next week looks decent for Victoria as the upper temps look a bit too warm to me to support anything much this weekend. From Sunday they start to cool dramatically!
Certainly looks like it's gonna get windy on Friday tho'!
Yeah I suspect gale warnings for many areas for a good 12-18hr period as the northerly jet sets up over VIC.
LAPS is displaying useful falls. I think I am inclined to believe it too. The parent low towards the southern ocean is expected to stall and cut off entirely from the westerly. The subsequent frontal system and rainband over W VIC and E SA will travel into VIC through Friday/Saturday and as it does - it will slow down. The northerly winds which will be quite squally initially, will ease as the frontal band weakens allowing more organisation within the rainband before the front entirely collapses through Sunday. As the front slides more SSE and perhaps even S the rainband will also shift direction, allowing totals to clock up over a longer period of time as the band takes longer to clear.
I suspect patchy rain in Melbourne initially but it too increase as we get towards Saturday morning. Also running the risk of thunderstorms on the back edge of the rainband into Saturday too.
Not directly related to this weekends event but we're already down to 1.6C out this way. Brrrrr.

Sunshine State Pro-Am Pool Tour/
Sunshine State Pro Am Tour 2021/
Osborne wins his first major tournament at Predator Sunshine State Pro Am Tour special event
Dominick Dunn, Jimmy Antonietta & Nick Osborne
He's been playing pool for well over 20 years and with a 9 ft. Brunswick Anniversary pool table in his home, he's not short on practice TAT (time at table). He's been winning local tournaments and faring well in league play (USAPL, NAPA and an American rotation pool league). He's also been doing cue repair for just about as long as he's been playing and through word-of-mouth and Facebook, manufactures and markets his own cues; Nick Osborne Custom Cues. On Sunday, January 4, Nick Osborne broke through to win his first major professional tournament; an amateur, special 9-ball event for players with a Fargo Rate of 575 or below, held under the auspices of the Predator Sunshine State Pro Am Tour. The event drew 32 entrants to Park Avenue Billiards in Orange Park, FL.
The day prior (Jan. 2), Park Avenue Billiards also hosted a 10-Ball invitational that drew 25 entrants. Won by Joselito Martinez, that event is detailed in a separate report that can be found elsewhere on these News pages.
So how, one wonders, does a player with so much experience, a table in his home and a cue-repair/cue-making business manage to avoid cashing in one of the country's most active pool communities (Florida), or elsewhere, for 20 years?
"I never could afford to travel to these tournaments," he explained. "Park Avenue Billiards is six minutes away."
Since he's been very active and successful as a local player for all of these years, in league play and local tournaments, the fact that he'd won his first professional major tournament almost escaped his notice until AZBilliards called him for comment.
"I've won all kinds of league events," he said, adding that a local pool room runs a regular Sunday tournament and that quarterly, they hold a big, invitation-only tournament that he's won twice. "I'm a good pool player, I'd say among the top 20 in my area."
He had to come from the loss side to seal this first major win of his, but only for a single match. He and Dominick Dunn (who has a single entry in the AZ database, a 13th place finish on the tour in 2018) battled twice for the title. Osborne opened with a 7-1 win over Damien Osman and then won two 7-4 matches, sending Nate Beal and David Kaiser to the loss side. This set him up to face Brandon Hoffman in one of the winners' side semifinals. Dunn, in the meantime, after opening with a double hill win over Jay Stock, defeated Robert McLaren 7-4 and Matt Cain 7-5, to draw Wayne Kelly in the other winners' side semifinal.
Dunn sent Kelly west 7-5, as Osborne was busy chalking up his third straight 7-4 victory, over Hoffman. Dunn handed Osborne his first, and what turned out to be his only defeat, 7-5 to claim the hot seat.
On the loss side, Hoffman and Kelly both drew players who'd lost their opening matches and were in the midst of lengthy loss-side winning streaks. Hoffman picked up Jimmy Antonietta, who was in the midst of a seven-match, loss-side winning streak that would take him all the way to the semifinals versus Osborne. He'd recently eliminated Bobby Quin, double hill and Matt Cain 7-1. Kelly drew Brian Luke, whose five-match, loss-side winning streak was about to end, one match shy of drawing the opponent who'd sent him over (Hoffman). Luke had recently defeated David Kaiser and survived a double hill match against Tommy Pauley.
Antonietta spoiled the potential quarterfinal rematch of Hoffman/Luke with a 7-4 win over Hoffman. Kelly spoiled it with a 7-5 victory over Luke. Antonietta then restricted Kelly's loss-side efforts to the single, quarterfinal match, defeating him 7-2. Osborne, in turn, ended Antonietta's loss-side streak 7-5 in the semifinals.
Osborne had trouble remembering details of the single race-to-9 finals between the two opponents, Fargo-rated 575 or below, vying for their first major tournament win.
"It was 23 hours in," he said. "We'd been playing non-stop from 10:30, Saturday morning and left at 10 a.m. on Sunday morning."
"I remember I had him (on the hill) at 8-4," he added, "and a couple of his friends started 'barking' at him. I think it riled him up and he strung a few racks together."
Four in a row, to be precise, but they weren't enough. Osborne won the deciding 17th game to claim his first major event title.
Tour directors Janene Phillips and Bobby Garza thanked the ownership and staff at Park Ave. Billiards, as well as title sponsor Predator Group, Kamui, Central Florida USA Pool League, Stitch It To Me Embroidery, Diamond Products, AZBilliards, and all of the players who compete in their events. The season-opening, points-earning stop on the 2021 Predator Sunshine State Pro Am Tour, scheduled for the weekend of Feb. 6-7, will be hosted by Stroker's Billiards in Palm Harbor, FL.

Sort of on topic, sort of not. I noticed the MyChevy app was updated yesterday. The changelog says "customers will be able to use their myChevrolet app in Apple CarPlay so they can interact with some of the app's features through the vehicle's infotainment screen." Anybody tried this yet? Just curious if this works for the modded trucks, what this is like, and what all it can do. I currently have my 2.5 HMI pulled out, so I can't test at the moment. I also don't see an icon under the CarPlay section of the phone settings yet.
I received my new radio module and pulled my newer HMI back out of the truck. Both are packed up and ready to send to the Great White North for programming. PM sent.
eBay seller ID is dokus223. I don't see a listing for the 2.5 HMI right now, but this might be on account of (as woodyfriedt said earlier) he took the week off.
An HMI module pre-programmed from Dokus was about $115 shipped. And about 10 minutes of install time.
Awesone work! Can't wait to get started on this one. What radio P/N should we shoot for? And I know it'll take some time to shakedown all the ins and outs, but did this remedy all the Siri/Android feedback issues?
Have you upgraded the HMI in a 2014/15 K2xx and this worked? This would be the solution for a vehicle that came stock with CP/AA. But we are attempting to upgrade older vehicles in an unconventional way and the rules no longer apply. This works for my truck if using Bluetooth, USB (no CP), or on the old HMI. You can even see that the volume indicator is red rather than blue when making this adjustment. I wish this was the case with a swapped HMI, but while using CP/AA, it is not. It was one of the first things I attempted to do to fix the issue immediately after installing the new HMI.
Don't recall if this has been mentioned, but I stumbled across this by accident. So the three obvious ways of summoning Siri do not work (home button, touch screen button, and steering wheel). I did discover by total accident tonight that "Hey, Siri" does work. I get the audible chime, but still no voice feedback. I can say "Hey, Siri give me directions to work" or "Play some metal" and it works, albeit a little slow. I will experiment some more tomorrow to try and determine how far that can work and what mic (phone or truck) is being used. Also adding to that, about a week ago, Siri turn by turn played through the sound system for one short trip. I got excited, but haven't been able to duplicate that since, but it gives me hope. Today, it would lower the music volume at every turn, but no directions were audible.
I'll add my 2014 P/N next time I get a moment to pull the dash open. I'm not ready to give up on this yet.
Good info going in this thread. I just cancelled my radio module firmware update appointment based on what I'm hearing. So now that I need to replace the radio module with a newer unit, what part numbers can we confirm are working? I see some out there that look decently priced. I just want myself and others to make sure we are getting usable units.
Thanks for the tip! I copied this on my 2014. I purchased $10 worth of white LED strips from Amazon and wired it all up to three sides in under an hour. My favorite upgrade so far. It blows the factory version away.
I did the upgrade about three weeks ago. Same results as everyone else. Purchased 2.5 HMI from the same seller. In a 2014 Silverado, had to update USB port, CarPlay works 90%. Siri and I do not hear each other, no voice call audio when connected to CarPlay. I saw the original YouTube poster updated the radio firmware to solve the issues, but I noticed he is in a 2015. I had an appointment this weekend to have the radio module firmware updated, but after reading through these replies, and am going to cancel and see what others report.

Please join the Albumism team in celebrating Louis Armstrong's musical legacy and share your personal memories of him with us in the comments below!
Biography (via AllMusic): Louis Armstrong was the first important soloist to emerge in jazz, and he became the most influential musician in the music's history. As a trumpet virtuoso, his playing, beginning with the 1920s studio recordings made with his Hot Five and Hot Seven ensembles, charted a future for jazz in highly imaginative, emotionally charged improvisation. For this, he is revered by jazz fans. But Armstrong also became an enduring figure in popular music, due to his distinctively phrased bass singing and engaging personality, which were on display in a series of vocal recordings and film roles.
Armstrong fronted the Luis Russell Orchestra for a tour of the South in February 1930, then in May went to Los Angeles, where he led a band at Sebastian's Cotton Club for the next ten months. He made his film debut in Ex-Flame, released at the end of 1931. By the start of 1932, he had switched from the "race"-oriented OKeh label to its pop-oriented big sister Columbia Records, for which he recorded two Top Five hits, "Chinatown, My Chinatown" and "You Can Depend on Me" before scoring a number one hit with "All of Me" in March 1932; another Top Five hit, "Love, You Funny Thing," hit the charts the same month.
He returned to Chicago in the spring of 1932 to front a band led by Zilner Randolph; the group toured around the country. In July, Armstrong sailed to England for a tour. He spent the next several years in Europe, his American career maintained by a series of archival recordings, including the Top Ten hits "Sweethearts on Parade" (August 1932; recorded December 1930) and "Body and Soul" (October 1932; recorded October 1930). His Top Ten version of "Hobo, You Can't Ride This Train," in the charts in early 1933, was on Victor Records; when he returned to the U.S. in 1935, he signed to recently formed Decca Records and quickly scored a double-sided Top Ten hit, "I'm in the Mood for Love"/"You Are My Lucky Star."
Armstrong continued to tour extensively, despite a heart attack in June 1959. In 1964, he scored a surprise hit with his recording of the title song from the Broadway musical Hello, Dolly!, which reached number one in May, followed by a gold-selling album of the same name. It won him a Grammy for best vocal performance. This pop success was repeated internationally four years later with "What a Wonderful World," which hit number one in the U.K. in April 1968. It did not gain as much notice in the U.S. until 1987 when it was used in the film Good Morning, Vietnam, after which it became a Top 40 hit. Armstrong was featured in the 1969 film of Hello, Dolly!, performing the title song as a duet with Barbra Streisand. He performed less frequently in the late '60s and early '70s, and died of a heart ailment in 1971 at the age of 69.
As an artist, Armstrong was embraced by two distinctly different audiences: jazz fans who revered him for his early innovations as an instrumentalist, but were occasionally embarrassed by his lack of interest in later developments in jazz and, especially, by his willingness to serve as a light entertainer; and pop fans, who delighted in his joyous performances, particularly as a vocalist, but were largely unaware of his significance as a jazz musician. Given his popularity, his long career, and the extensive label-jumping he did in his later years, as well as the differing jazz and pop sides of his work, his recordings are extensive and diverse, with parts of his catalog owned by many different companies. But many of his recorded performances are masterpieces, and none are less than entertaining.


Choosing how to pay for a car is a big decision, probably second only to buying a house. There are a lot of options out there, from buying outright with cash or savings to entering into a Hire Purchase agreement, a personal loan or a Personal Contract Purchase. Each option comes with unique pros and cons, and with so many factors to consider it can be overwhelming. So we've made it easy for you with our guide to the pros and cons of buying a car on finance. We'll walk you through the different options so that you can decide which is the right choice for you.
It's becoming more and more common to buy a car on finance, and there are definitely advantages to it. It takes time, forward-planning and patience to build up the savings to buy a car outright, and for a lot of people, it just isn't a practical option. Or it could be that you want to use your savings for something else like a house deposit or keep them in case of emergencies.
So, that's where buying a car on finance comes in. You'll be able to get your hands on a new, or new-to-you car in little time and drive it away. It's very appealing to think of driving off in a new car, without having to spend time saving up! There are more options around than ever before, with more flexible terms and even an incentive or two thrown in! With a finance deal, you'll know exactly what your monthly costs for your car will be, so it's easy to work into your budget.
It has to be said that buying a car outright generally works out cheaper in the long run, as you don't pay any interest on your car. With some finance options, you'll discover that the interest adds up considerably over the months and years. This is especially true with high interest rates typical of Hire Purchase Agreements. But with a finance deal, you could upgrade to a better car or model than you could afford paying upfront.
It's worth looking closely into the different finance options for buying a car, whether new or used. So here's a rundown of the choices you have, with the pros and cons of each finance option.
If you have a good credit rating, using a personal loan without a guarantor to finance your car can be an attractive choice. You can use a personal loan to cover some or all of the cost of a car. Finance providers, building societies and banks all offer personal loans which you could use to fund a car.
A personal loan works out as one of the cheapest ways to buy a car due to lower interest rates.
With Hire Purchase, you need to put down a deposit of around 10%. You'll pay the rest off in monthly payments over a fixed time period. You won't actually own the car until you've made your last payment.
Higher rate of interest than a personal loan.
With a Personal Contract Purchase, you'll pay lower monthly payments. At the end of your agreed term, you can choose between paying a balloon payment to keep the car or handing the car back to the dealer. The higher the deposit you make, the lower your monthly payments will be.
if you don't have the savings, you can choose not to put a deposit down – and still drive away a new car!
When you decide to buy a car on finance, you need to think ahead. Consider whether you'll be able to meet the monthly payments throughout the entire term of the deal. Work out what the running costs of the car will be too and take that into consideration.
It's a good idea to calculate what the total cost will be across the entire agreed term too, so you can weigh up whether the deal is favourable or not. You'll also need to think about your personal situation – do you have a good credit rating? If so, a personal bank loan will generally work out cheapest. If your credit rating is lower, you might have to consider the other options.
Make sure you shop around to find the most competitive car finance deals out there. Compare interest rates and don't forget about any hidden charges depending on the type of finance you've opted for.
So there you have our guide to the pros and cons of buying your car on finance. We've delved into the topic of car finance and the best way to fund your car. We've weighed up the positives and negatives of buying your car upfront with cash or savings, versus buying your car on finance. With our quick summary of the different car finance options available plus the pros and cons of each, you should have more of an idea as to which type of finance would best suit you and your situation. Make sure you're clear on all the details of the finance agreement you enter into, including interest rates, monthly repayments and any other important information. Now you're one step closer to driving away in your new car!

Help Auburn's Model United Nations Team Compete
Model United Nations (MUN) is an academic competition in which students role play as delegates to the United Nations from a specific nation during a simulation of various UN committees and agencies.
The purpose of the competition is to engage with and identify creative solutions for the most urgent issues and problems in the world today by accurately portraying the interests and positions of a specific country and collaborating with delegates from other universities, also representing specific countries.
This year, Auburn's team will compete at the Southern Regional Model United Nations (SRMUN) in Charlotte in March 2019 and needs funds for fees and travel.
The more support we receive, the more students that will be able to attend the conference and represent and compete on behalf of Auburn.
Each MUN competition awards delegations for superior research and preparation, accurate portrayal of a selected country, and the ability to collaborate diplomatically over some of the most difficult and controversial issues facing the world today.
This past November, Auburn students competed at the Southern Regional MUN Conference in Atlanta as delegates from the Kingdom of Denmark against the best teams from across the Southeast. The competition involved more than 30 hours of simulating various committees of the United Nations and debating topics ranging from the economic impacts of migration, to the status of refugees, to the promotion of disease prevention and treatment through the World Health Organization (WHO).
For the competition, there were 12 students on Auburn's delegation who competed in pairs in a simulation of six different committees of the United Nations, including the UN General Assembly (UNGA), the UN Environment Programme (UNEP), the UN Development Programme (UNDP), Interpol, the UN High Commissioner on Refugees (UNHCR), and the World Health Organization (WHO).
At SRMUN-Atlanta, Auburn's team was awarded two Best Delegation Awards in recognition of the team's hard work.
Auburn's Model UN team is looking to build on its recent successes. With your generous contribution, you can be a central part of making Auburn #1 in MUN. Help us showcase Auburn's academic strengths and support the leaders and problem-solvers of the future!
Your fellow students are leading this effort. Help them out with $10.

Q: How to run Windows app on Ubuntu? [NOT wine] I'm using Windows 8.1 and Ubuntu 16.04. Is there a way to run windows app (an *.exe) on Ubuntu without using Wine? I need to use SSH. I know you can use Putty to run linux program on windows, but can it be done vice-versa? I mean: using SSH client to run Windows app on linux.
Regards.

A: You can also install a SSH-Server on Windows (e.g. https://www.openssh.com/) and than call a programm by SSH from your Linux-Client to the command line on your Windows Host-Machine.
Or use something like https://www.teamviewer.com/de
Or look here: How to connect to Windows PC in graphical mode?

A: No, you cannot run Windows (GUI) programs remotely over SSH. You can use CLI tools if you have an SSH server running on your Windows machine or VM. You can use RDP (like VNC) to use programs remotely, however.
You can run Windows inside a VM under Ubuntu, and then run whatever apps you need, inside that VM.

A: PuTTy is a ssh client available for both Windows and Linux. It does not run linux applications on windows.
Cygwin is a project that ports linux applications to windows.
https://www.cygwin.com/
I have installed KDE on windows using cygwin for example, or cygwin provides an X server for Windows.
You can run a ssh server on Windows, cygwin is one option, and connect from Linux.
What is it you are wanting to do exactly ?


A joint venture has acquired the former Ballantine Brewery site in Newark for $61 million, adding a 1.1 million-square-foot, multitenant industrial complex in the port submarket.
Brokers with JLL represented RAR Development Associates in the sale of 424 East Ferry St., a five-building complex in the city's Ironbound section. Turnbridge Equities and institutional investors advised by J.P. Morgan Asset Management acquired the 22-acre site, which is bifurcated by Ferry Street.
JLL managing directors Thomas Walsh and Joseph Garibaldi and Vice President Katelyn Borovsky led the capital markets team that represented both parties.
In a news release, JLL said the property was originally owned and operated by P. Ballantine & Sons. The complex closed in 1972 and was ultimately repositioned as a functional multitenant industrial asset with additional land for the development of warehouse/distribution buildings.
The five existing structures range in size from 25,000 to 726,601 square feet, JLL said, while the property is about 85 percent leased to 30 tenants ranging from 2,500 to 159,287 square feet. The average tenant size is about 28,000 square feet.


Click here to go directly to the Conference Information Page.
In order to have more transparency and membership involvement, we are trying something new, therefore, nominations will be collected and voted on before the Annual Membership Meeting on April 27, 2019. This means no nominations from the floor and no voting at the meeting. All voting will take place electronically.
In the unfortunate event that no one is nominated during this time frame, we will have to accept nominations from the floor but voting will still take place electronically, with the system we have found. What this means is everyone will need access to their email accounts they have on file with TRID, however, voting will have to close withing 15 minutes of the email being sent.
After all voting has taken place, we will announce the newly Elected Board at the end of the Members Meeting and the new board will take office as per the bylaws.
You undoubtedly remember our beloved friend and colleague Marie Griffin. In the event you may not have had an opportunity to get to know this remarkable woman please allow me a moment to tell you about her.
Marie Griffin was a role model, teacher, mentor and friend to many interpreters and Deaf individuals in TRID and around the country. She was the epitome of a professional interpreter. In 1992 she was named Outstanding Interpreter by the Knoxville Chapter of TRID. In 1999 Marie won the Judie Husted Memorial Leadership Award by RID. She was a servant leader in all she did. Marie served on evaluation boards for RID, the SCPI, and was a trained evaluator for the EIPA in Tennessee. She served TRID as Secretary for 18 years and was the RID Region II representative as well.
Marie began her teaching career in 1975 as an instructor of interpreting at Maryville College under program founder Irma Young. She then taught at Chattanooga State Technical Community College until she came to the University of Tennessee in 1980. While at UT, she directed the Basic Interpreter Training Program that was offered each summer to students wanting to learn how to become interpreters.
Marie's earned RID certifications included CSC, CI, CT, SC:L and OIC: C. She was one of the most sought after interpreters in the country. Her expertise in legal interpreting was well known and respected by the Deaf, interpreting and legal communities. Her passing in 2014 was a terrible loss to all that knew her. Marie's Legacy will live on in all the interpreters she trained throughout her career.
Following her loss the TRID membership passed a motion establishing the Marie Griffin Award. This is a way for us to recognize our colleagues in whom can be seen a dedication, commitment, professionalism and love for the Deaf community like Marie.
Person must have been a member of both RID and TRID for a minimum of five years.
Member must have displayed unselfish service to TRID over the last year.
Member must be respected as a role model and supporter of interpreters in TRID.
Member must display leadership qualities.
Nominations will close on April 5, 2019.
Thank you for the role you play in serving the Deaf community and for your time.
The Registry of Interpreters for the Deaf, Inc. promotes excellence in the delivery of interpreting services among diverse users of signed and spoken languages through professional development, networking, advocacy, and standards.

The white-backed duck (Thalassornis leuconotus) is a waterbird of the family Anatidae. It is distinct from all other ducks, but most closely related to the whistling ducks in the subfamily Dendrocygninae, though also showing some similarities to the stiff-tailed ducks in the subfamily Oxyurinae. It is the only member of the genus Thalassornis.
Least Concern (IUCN 3.1)[1]
Order: Anseriformes

2 Distribution and habitat
3 Subspecies
DescriptionEdit
These birds are well adapted for diving. On occasions they have been observed to stay under water for up to half a minute. They search especially for the bulbs of waterlilies, but also seeds and leaves of waterlilies and other water plants and the young feed on lake flies larvae as well.[1] From danger, they also escape preferentially by diving; hence, the namesake white back is hardly visible in life.
Distribution and habitatEdit
White-backed ducks live in Africa, especially between Senegal and Chad in the west, Ethiopia in the east, and South Africa in the south. Their habitat consists of lakes, ponds, swamps and marshes where they are well camouflaged against predators.
SubspeciesEdit
There are two subspecies, Thalassornis leuconotus leuconotus and Thalassornis leuconotus insularis. The latter lives entirely on Madagascar and is considered endangered as a result of hunting, habitat loss and the introduction of competing exotic species.
ConservationEdit
The white-backed duck is one of the species to which the Agreement on the Conservation of African-Eurasian Migratory Waterbirds (AEWA) applies.
Woolaver and Nichols conducted a nesting survey of the Madagascar race in 2001 at Lake Antsamaka in western Madagascar. They found a total of 37, indicating the significance of this single site for the conservation of this insular subspecies.[2] Young, et al. (2006) suggested that an earlier population estimate of 2,500–5,000 total birds in Madagascar by Delany and Scott[3] may be too optimistic.[4] Its African population may be in the range of 10,000 to 25,000 birds.[5][6]

I love that your basic personalities haven't changed, and yet you have both developed deeply in God's character and ways. You have both ALWAYS been soft clay in His hands. Thank you for the example you have always set — not just of Christlikeness, but of transparency.
You are too kind, Carla. And I really would like to see you. Maybe in the fall.
happy anniversary mrs.judy! =) i'm so blessed reading this…=) hugs!
So well said and expressed with obvious deep gratitude! I feel like crying. I can so relate to all that you said. What an amazing mercy and kindness from our Father to give us these men.

Oh Martha, we are so blessed.
Thank you for sharing, we all need to be able to love the way Jesus did, the way you guys do, so help us God……with more love from a far……love you mama!
Alex, I loved watching you and Bhakti, knowing what a redemptive work God has done!

A LOOK BACK AT HISTORY: This is an impressive, historic reproduction of 1879 Portland Oregon Map Art. This print is from an original found in the maps and geography division of the US Library of Congress. A true piece of history. See our product description section for more fascinating information about this historic map and its significance.
This perspective map was produced by Eli Glover and published in 1879. Glover was one of the most prolific perspective illustrators of the nineteenth century, and his portrayals include an incredible amount of detail transporting the viewer back in time to a Portland that was rapidly developing and becoming a significant hub for the Northwest.
After a major fire in 1873 destroyed twenty blocks on the west side near the Willamette, Portland's bustling downtown was rebuilt, and the city had nearly eighteen thousand residents by 1879. By focusing on local resources and not accepting support from San Francisco or the East Coast, Portland's domestic economy was able to thrive through the nationwide panic of 1873. The Pioneer Courthouse, James B. Stephens House, and Jacob Kamm's house all still stand today as they were portrayed here.
The early history of Portland was one of a hard edge, gritty port town, and it's unique position as an inland port contributed to this quality. Because Portland had both a port and Railway hubs, it was the principal port in the Northwest for nearly all of the 19th century. Being able to export the robust timber from the region was another primary economic driver and led to the cities apt nickname of 'Stumptown.'
The grandeur of the surrounding mountains is enhanced by Glover using an eastern facing perspective. MT Rainier, MT St. Helens, Mt Tabor, and Mt Hood, as well as the Columbia River Gorge, are all depicted with an immediately recognizable aesthetic that harkens back to Portland's early days as a rough and tumble port town.
Our museum quality giclee vintage Portland poster print comes printed with archival ink on premium heavyweight matte paper. Shipped in a sturdy cardboard tube your Portland wall decor will arrive ready to be framed. This eye-catching print makes the perfect Portland Oregon gift for anyone that loves history and imagery.

Liverpool victorious in inaugural FIFA ePremier League season
by Jack Morton
The wide and wonderful world of esports is a diverse and magical place. With many different games to choose from and many different platforms to play on, it's more popular than ever. Some of us dream of playing professional football for the likes of Arsenal, Liverpool, and Manchester City, and while it can't be a reality to run on the pitch at Old Trafford, it can be a reality to play for those teams on FIFA.
40 of Great Britain's best FIFA players took part in the inaugural ePremier League season and the hotly contested tournament had big-name teams like Manchester City, Southampton, and even Liverpool.
Owen Venn, otherwise known as "Venny," plays for the Saints and said "Since I was little I wanted to be a footballer […] not having the ability was a bit of an issue, but being able to do it by playing video games is an unreal feeling."
19 other Premier League clubs participated in the ePremier League, the first-ever esports tournament hosted by the Premier League itself. The carbon copy of England's top flight in FIFA transpires over two days of finals starring players just like Venny who may not have the required ability to compete on real grass but are among the very best in Britain when it comes to playing on the virtual pitch.
What's the ePremier League?
As 2019 dawned so did the online qualifying tournaments for the first-ever domestically hosted English FIFA league. Each of the 20 current Premier League teams held their own tournaments that any UK resident aged 16 or over could enter, with the greatest players earning a place in the offline qualifier held at their own Premier League stadiums.
The surviving players from the offline knockout tournaments go on to be that club's representatives at the ePremier League finals.
Venny, describing his joining of Southampton after being victorious in his qualifying matches, said "They gave us hospitality for a game. I haven't been to a match in years so that was great."
"We got a training-ground tour where we got to see all the players and made some videos with Saints left-back Matt Targett. The support they've been giving me is unreal."
With the stakes high and the palms sweaty the 40 players, champions of their club's qualifiers, competed at the Gfinity Arena in London over two days to decide who would reign supreme as the first ePremier League champion.
Split between two platforms, PS4 and Xbox One, 20 players on each were divided into groups of five players and the top two players of each group then progressed to the quarters where it became a tightly contested knockout tournament.
The winners of the separate platform competitions eventually faced each other in the overall grand final to decide the supreme champion of the first season, and although there was no prize money on the line, bragging rights were the most important.
Big-name appearances
While it was true that the competition was only available to players based in Great Britain, it still featured the highest-ranked Xbox player in the world, Donovan "F2TekKz" Hunt, who represented Liverpool, while other stars Tassal "Tass" Rushan, and Jamie "Jamboo" Rigden represented Arsenal and the Hammers respectively.
Hashtag United founder Spencer Owen was the host of the event and even actual footballers made an appearance. Chelcee Grimes, who plays for Fulham ladies and takes to the grass herself, was there in person to check out the action.
Who was the grand champion?
Like most real Premier League seasons where grand finals feature the most anticipated matches, the ePremier League was not about to break that tradition. The grand final was, of course, Manchester United vs. Liverpool.
The Red Devils' Kyle "KyleLeese_" Leese was champion of the PS4 competition, narrowly defeating Chelsea's Jas "Jas1875" Singh 3-2 in their final.
Liverpool's representative won the Xbox One competition by also narrowly edging out Fulham's Diogo "SCP Diogo" Mendes 4-3.
The final, the showdown, the grand occasion, was played over two legs: one leg on PS4 and the other on Xbox One. Liverpool's Hunt dominated the first leg 4-1 before cementing his comprehensive victory with a 2-1 win to become the first-ever ePremier League champion.

What's next in the FIFA esports calender?
Next up on the esports calender for FIFA lovers and players is the FIFA eWorld Cup 2019. Players will need to turn their focus to earn enough points to qualify for the event which will start towards the end of this year.
The eWorld Cup, like the real World Cup, is the biggest event in the FIFA esports season and crowns the official world champion.
It's unclear however whether events like these will be reoccurring. When asked if the English top flight will return to esports like this again, the head of sales and marketing, Will Brass, said: "The honest answer is I don't know."
"What we're really focused on doing is creating the best competition we can for this iteration of the Premier League, and most importantly the best competition for the gamers and the fans."

Extent includes the land described as Pt Allot 21 Parish of Wharehine (CT NA767/173), North Auckland Land District, and the building and structures known as Minniesdale Chapel thereon.
Minniesdale Chapel is most noted for its association with the Albertlanders, a number of whom are buried in its churchyard. The Albertlanders were a group made up largely of Nonconformists who came to New Zealand, mainly from the Midlands of England, between the years 1862 and 1865. The Albertland scheme caught the imagination of the British public from its formation by William Brame in 1862. This was because of the promise of freehold land and a classless society, the sentimental appeal of its name with its reference to Prince Albert whose death had just occurred, and the fact that it was formed to coincide with the bicentennial of the expulsion of nonconforming ministers from the Church of England. Three thousand settlers made their way to New Zealand under the scheme only to find that the harsh conditions and the inexperience of the settlers doomed the scheme to failure.
Edwin Stanley Brookes Snr was one of those inspired by the Albertland scheme and he trained as a Baptist minister before setting out for New Zealand. Three of his sons preceded their parents to Albertland and were among the first settlers put ashore at Wharehine in October, 1862. The Baptist settlers held services in each other's homes until the Reverend Brookes and the remainder of his family arrived at Wharehine in 1865, bringing with them the framework of the future Minniesdale Chapel. The Minute Book for 13 March 1866 records the setting up of the first congregation of the first chapel in that part of Albertland.
Reverend Brookes engaged George Wilcockson to erect the building and it was opened and dedicated on Sunday 29 December 1867. The cost of construction was born by Mr Brookes. His son George Hovey Brookes, donated the land on which the chapel stands. On 1 June 1887 the chapel and grounds were presented to the Baptist Union and eventually to the residents of the Wharehine district to be used as an interdenominational chapel administered by a Board of Trustees.
The chapel is built on sloping ground enabling a room to be placed underneath it. A Gothic door leads to this room where, on 7 August 1868, after several preliminary meetings, the first Highway board for the district was elected. The chapel thus added a political dimension to the spiritual life of the community.
The chapel in its rural setting cannot look much different today from when it was built in 1867. Minniesdale Chapel is reminiscent of how St Stephens Chapel, Parnell must have looked when it was built in 1857 before the encroachment of Auckland city. Minniesdale Chapel is held in great affection by the local community and apart from the regular interdenominational services, a commemorative service is held every year on the nearest Sunday to the opening of the chapel. People come from all over New Zealand and overseas to attend this service.
This chapel at Wharehine is a tangible link between the present community and the 19th century settlers from industrial Britain whose religious beliefs led them to attempt to establish a new community in rural New Zealand.
The architectural style of the Minniesdale Chapel was probably chosen because of the great influence that the Cambridge Camden Society was exerting on English ecclesiastical architecture at the time that it was built. This is especially so as the framework was prefabricated in England and then shipped to New Zealand.
The Camden Society, although made up of members of the Church of England, eventually influenced many people to believe that the Gothic style was 'the only true Christian architecture'. Nothing was to be built for mere show and 'in God's House everything should be real' with beams and rafters exposed. There was to be a chancel, a nave and a porch - the porch having a liturgical purpose in Anglican ceremony but being there only as a shelter in a Baptist chapel such as Minniesdale. Ideally the chancel was one-third of the length of the nave and was to be distinct from the body of the church - especially when viewed from the interior. In the Minniesdale Chapel this distinction is visible from both the interior, by means of the dividing doors, and the exterior where the roof line over the chancel is lower than that of the main body of the church. The Camden Society also decreed that the roof must be pitched no less than 60 degrees and that, if the church was not built in a cross shape, it was preferable that the tower or belfry should be set at the west end. That New Zealand colonial church architects accepted these criteria to a very large degree is evidenced by churches built about the same time as the Minniesdale Chapel e.g. Church of St John the Baptist, Waimate North (1871), St James, Kerikeri (1878) or St Stephens Chapel, Parnell (1857).
The Minniesdale Chapel does not conform in all its aspects to the Camden Society model. The pitch of its roof is lower than 60 deg and its belfry is placed at the north eastern end of the building. However, in other aspects of its design it does conform.
The style of the Minniesdale Chapel is Carpenter Gothic which is achieved by the Gothic arch of the doors and windows, and the Gothic detailing on the folding doors which divide the nave from the chancel. The detailing is repeated on the eave decoration. The interior framing timbers are exposed. The building has a small porch, a nave, and a chancel divided from the nave by wooden folding doors. These areas are defined further on the interior by the broken gabled roof line.
The open porch had outer doors added to the Gothic opening in 1872.
Wooden piles on concrete footings; timber frame; corrugated iron roof; exterior cladding Kauri.

Virgil – The fact that Lululemon was sponsoring this race as well as the race shirts suggested that the event was going to be popular with women. In fact, I read post-race that 68% of the field was female, and that was readily apparent as soon as I got to the corrals. That's good to see, it felt 'right' to have a more even mix between the sexes and it also, to be honest, brought a lighter, more fun mood to the morning!
I messaged my Trek and Run teammate on their ETA as I was heading over to the start line. Apparently, an alarm clock was missed, which caused a bit of pre-race anxiety, as my race kit and bib was with them. No matter, I warmed up and took some pictures and shortly after 7am they arrived, just in time for me to fish out my bib and drop my bag off at the bag check buses, with 4 minutes to go on the late bag check at 715am.
That didn't give much time to get into the corrals, so we rushed some selfies and went to the corrals and waited for the handcycles to start, 5 min before the main start time.
The sleek, beautifully designed medal was hung around my neck, and drinks and real lemony cloth towelettes were passed out. Good thing they mentioned what it was, otherwise some people may have bitten into the toughest energy bar of all time. THEN CAME THE LULULEMON FREE DONUT WALL.
A delightful, almost whimsical wall of baker's confections awaited us in an array of designs. Now that was a interesting and unique touch. The donut was an interesting flavor, I can't really describe it but it wasn't your typical oversweetened sugar rush (other than the topping).
After that we lined up to have our photos taken. Another great touch with this race was that the photos were free!
Many positive comments were made about the minimalist and subtle design of the free race shirts. With only a tiny logo on the back and the race name printed in the right sleeve, you could mistake it for an ordinary fitness shirt. Among the overflowing stack of loud and gaudy designs on my clothes rack, it was a welcome relief!
This was a well organized and executed race and my expectations were all met. It is most highly recommended, and definitely a race to put on your calendar next year.
Dave – Yes, it was I who missed his alarm clock – don't keep mentioning it Virgil, I'd only flown back from Costa Rica 24 hours earlier!!! So I woke to the sound of pinging text messages, saw I had just 50 minutes until race start, jumped out of bed and into my running kit in 1 minute flat and ran down the road to the bus stop. Not ideal race preparation, but some days you just don't get it right!!
I thought I might try to gain the time back but then I passed a cheering station where around 20 or 30 young people were cycling on exercise bikes and cheering at the same time and I thought, ah, what's the point, this is a great occasion, people are working hard to help us all have a good time, I may as well write this race off as far as a fast time is concerned and just enjoy it. Don't misunderstand, if you're on form you might well hit a personal best time here as there isn't a lot of uphill and the road surface is excellent, but today was clearly not my day.
So I enjoyed the cheerleaders and the many supporters, and the beautiful hot day, and finished with a cheer and a jump!
…and joined in a mass yoga session hosted by Lululemon. It was exactly the sort of thing you should have at a post race party but so rarely do; we all need to stretch out after a run but how many of us actually do it? So that was great.
There was also a water bottle refill station – so no need to use loads of plastic cups or bottles, which is an excellent step forward in the fight to free our oceans and lakes of life-nulling plastics - and free massages. And after the yoga, we were even invited to take the mats home with us!
The Canada Running Series just keep getting better and better and I love their events. They're large enough to give you a big race atmosphere – there were about 7,000 runners at this 10k – but small enough to still feel like friendly, fun, community based runs. If you're in Ontario this is definitely an event worth travelling to Toronto for, and if you're overseas, well, the same applies!
