SINGAPORE—The Philippines' LK Go and Rianne Malixi struggled on the trying back nine of the Singapore Island Country Club's New Course on Thursday to trail big after the first round of the prestigious Women's Amateur Asia-Pacific Championship. Go threw away a three-under card by dropping three shots in her last three holes, settling for a level par-72 to be five shots off the pace being set by world No. 14 Minsol Kim of South Korea, while Malixi battled hard in finishing in the front nine to rescue a 74 and mathematically remain in the hunt.

SHANGHAI Authorities in northeastern China raised their emergency response level on Sunday, as tributaries of the Songhua, a major river, rose to dangerous levels after days of heavy rain caused by Typhoon Doksuri. China's Ministry of Water Resources said it raised the response for flooding to Level III at 10 a.m. (0200 GMT) in Inner Mongolia, Jilin and Heilongjiang. China uses a four-tier emergency response system, with Level I the most urgent. Heilongjiang, known as China's "great northern granary", is among the latest areas to suffer the aftermath of Doksuri, which has killed at least 20 people, displaced thousands and flooded Beijing and several other cities, since it made landfall in the south a week ago.

Maybe it's the lights. As part of the $19 million poured into upgrading stadiums to be used for the Women's World Cup in New Zealand, organizers installed new polarized floodlights—equipped with precise lighting control—aimed at providing brightness uniformity and better illumination not only for the live audience but for broadcast and livestream viewers as well. For some reason, we can see the Filipinas clearly now. Like, HD clearly. Fans at the venue and those watching on their television sets and mobile phones swear they could see tears roll down the cheeks of Hali Long, the ace defender and cocaptain of the Philippine women's football team, every time she sings the national anthem.

Though many know it as a simple frozen confection, kulfi was the result of royal desires and scientific know how. Its history can be traced, in part, to the 16th-Century kitchens of Indian Mughal courts. The Ain-i-Akbari , a detailed account of Emperor Akbar's reign (1556-1605), records the first ever mention of the frozen dessert, along with extensive details on the court's daily activities, including the foods prepared and created in the royal kitchen. Indian Mughal cuisine was highly influenced by the cuisines of Central Asia and especially Persia.
