Receiving critical acclaim and going down as one of the best games on the console, Paper Mario spawned multiple sequels and a fanbase all its own. Recently, Nintendo announced the original Paper Mario will be added to Nintendo Switch Online this week, allowing newer players to discover its magical and richly detailed worlds. Hopefully this newfound attention will popularize its levels, which have been woefully underused in the Super Mario franchise at large....

In the clash of captains, Par Gerell drew first blood for Falcons TTC as he beat RP-SG’s Sharath Kamal 11-6, 8-11, 11-9 in the opening encounter to put his team up 2-1 on points. Kamal, the face of Indian table tennis for well over a decade, was outpaced in the opening game but came back strongly to take the next as a full-house crowd rooted for the local star. Kamal took a 5-3 lead in the decider but faltered as Gerell clawed back and took control....

If Semyon Varlamov doesn’t have another Vezina finalist-caliber season (and if young players like Nathan MacKinnon don’t continue rounding out their games), that sort of success is unlikely to continue. Teams that have the puck as little as Colorado are working out of a huge deficit, and are thus bad bets to play well over multiple seasons. P.A. Parenteau, while certainly an imperfect player, was not part of the Avs’ biggest problem....

A new survey shows that 87 per cent of parents think it is too easy for children to access inappropriate content on the web. And over a third of children admit they have removed their browsing history at some point to ensure their parents can’t see what they’ve been looking at online and have visited a website they know their parents wouldn’t approve of. With many children either owning their own tablets, games consoles and laptops or borrowing their parents or older sibling’s devices such statistics will concern modern-day parents....

If you are a parent, especially the parent of a young child who needs to be looked after, there is a whole other set of worries and struggles: between tantrums, pleas for attention, the struggle to focus on school work, and so much more, most parents will find themselves torn between caring for their kids during all hours of the day and working hard to keep an income. In these unprecedented times, there is no playbook on how to balance parenting and working from home - but there are ways you can keep your kids focused while you get some work done....

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will definitely get the job after this performance. What a performance it was, Manchester United was missing 10 players from their first team and at one point of the match, they had Mason Greenwood, 17 years old, and Taith Chong, 18 years old, on the pitch. Solskjaer clearly has brought back the Manchester United way and this performance is a testament to that. For Manchester United, the goals were scored by Romelu Lukaku and Marcus Rashford....

PSG announced they had parted company with Antero Henrique, who had been in the role since June 2017, earlier on Friday. And the French club have moved quickly in revealing Henrique’s replacement, confirming Leonardo – who left AC Milan in May – will take over. It is Leonardo’s second spell at PSG as sporting director, with the former Inter and Milan coach having taken the same role in 2011, before leaving in 2013 after receiving a ban, which was later overturned, following accusations he had pushed a referee at the end of a match....

The pumice raft was first spotted in the waters of Tonga in August. Since then, it has been floating towards Australia and is due to arrive at the Great Barrier Reef at the end of January or start of February. Where this enormous piece of pumice came from was unclear, although scientists said it likely formed during an underwater volcanic eruption. Researchers led by Philipp Brandl, from Germany’s GEOMAR Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research Kiel, have now traced back the source of the pumice stone to a little-known volcano —named Volcano F—about 30 miles from the coast of the Tongan island Vava’u....

Park won gold in the 400 metres freestyle at the 2008 Beijing Games to become the first South Korean to win an Olympic swimming medal. He added silver in the 200 in Beijing, and was second in both events in London four years later. But Park’s image as the golden boy of Korean sport was shattered early last year when it emerged he had tested positive for testosterone ahead of the Incheon Asian Games in September 2014....

Dookie was Green Day’s major label debut, and includes the hits “Longview,” “Welcome to Paradise”, “Basket Case”, and “When I Come Around”. Green Day: Rock Band has been rated “Teen” - so it will be interesting how the acidic and foul-mouthed “F.O.D.” will be edited to meet the more family friendly “Teen” requirements of the ESRB. American Idiot (which also has its fair share of M-rated content) was the band’s 2004 rock opera....

Pakistan are 1-0 up in the two-match Test series, following their seven-wicket win in Karachi. However, Babar Azam is wary of South Africa’s strengths and said the job is only half done as the hosts are keen to win the series 2-0. Babar Azam, who missed out on scoring big in the first Test as he was dismissed for 7 and 30 in the two innings, is eager to fare better against the Proteas in Rawalpindi....

An HI official revealed last Saturday that they were worried about its neighbours, not being able to able to send a team to the Olympic qualifiers, to be held in Netherlands due to financial problems and they were willing to help them. “We cannot accept this offer from Hockey India despite their polite gesture as this is purely an internal matter of the Pakistan Hockey Federation,” PHF President Akhtar Rasool told PTI....

Pakistan captain Shoaib Malik won the toss and decided to bat first. Imam-ul-Haq and Shan Masood got the team off to a steady start, adding 35 runs for the opening wicket. Nathan Lyon got the breakthrough though, dismissing Imam-ul-Haq for 17 runs. At end of 10 overs, Pakistan were 40 for 1. Shan Masood and Haris Sohail steadied the ship with some lovely strokes. The duo added 43 runs for the 2nd wicket after which Coulter-Nile dismissed Masood for 40....

The Pakistan International Squash Circuit II started in Peshawar Monday while the Hong Kong Open will kick-off Tuesday. The Nation reported that PSF has compelled the players to play in the $10,000 event in Pakistan abandoning their plans of taking part in the $150,000 Hong Kong Open Squash in Hong Kong. “The local events are of no use for Nasir Iqbal as well as the other top national players, as even wins in such events can’t give them points to enhance their PSA rankings....

Israel announced construction for 1,355 housing units in the West Bank and is expected to authorize around 3,000 more this week, in opposition to the Palestinians who view the settlements as the main obstacle to peace between them and the Israelites. The Palestinians say the settlement expansions that have taken place for decades have made it nearly impossible for the country to establish itself alongside Israel and resolve the decades-old conflict....

Palka launched a 1-2 pitch from Neil Ramirez (0-2) six rows up into the left field seats for his 18th homer. The shot ended Chicago’s three-game losing streak. Jace Fry (1-2), the White Sox’s third reliever, got the last two outs for his first major league victory. Rodon and Cleveland rookie Shane Bieber tossed crisp scoreless ball deep into the game. Each was relieved after 106 pitches. Rodon was sharp for a sixth straight start and has a 1....
