Even if you missed out on snapping-up a new plastic £5 note with an AA serial number, an early issue note sitting in your wallet could still be worth thousands. Initial indications suggested some of the earliest notes off the printing presses were worth hundreds of pounds and the internet auction site eBay has been awash with fivers for sale. But now collectors of the new plastic notes are paying even higher prices - with certain numbers on the market for anything up to £160,000. It’s not just those with an AA01 serial numbers that are most sought-after, with quirky AK47 serial numbers now being advertised for the highest prices. Fivers with AK47 serial numbers are currently being advertised on eBay for as much as £160,000. Sets of notes with sequential numbers are also attracting big money. The notes that have been selling for the most are: The first off the press - notes with AA codes, particularly AA01 Sets of notes with consecutive serial numbers - two notes with the serial numbers AA01090561 and AA01090562 sold for more than £50 on Monday Quirky numbers - notes with the serial number AK47 have been listed for as much as £160,000 but, realistically, most have sold for about £100. Even AK46 notes have been listed for hundreds of pounds. The new plastic £10 note - out next summer If you missed your chance with the new £5 note you could always try and cash in on the arrival of the new polymer £10 note. Featuring iconic author Jane Austen, it will be coming into circulation next summer.

The daughter of a former police inspector who captained Coventry Rugby Club has paid tribute to him as “one of the good guys”. Sally Seddon said her dad Ian Darnell, who died aged 66, was a true Coventry Kid, great in height at 6ft 5in and heart, whose team mates nicknamed the ‘Honey Monster’. Ian was full-time carer to Carol, his wife of 38 years, who was diagnosed with dementia in 2006, when she was only 61. The grandad and dad-of-two helped set up the Young Onset Dementia Focus Group and was a big advocate of giving carers a voice to get the support and recognition they deserve, Sally said. The 35-year-old, whose sister is Amy, aged 37, said: “Dad was devoted to mum and the compassion and care he showed to her through the years, but particularly since she became poorly, is a testament to their love for each other. “Mum will miss him greatly.” Ian worked for the youth offending team and workmates have told how there are many young people in the city who have indirectly benefited from his influence. Aside from his family, his other great passion was rugby. He captained Coventry Rugby Club and coached the team. He also captained Warwickshire and coached the England Colts (Under 19s) and as part of this had to select young international players. The Telegraph earlier published a tribute from Coventry club president Peter Rossborough who said Ian would almost certainly have played for his country but for his injuries. Sally added: “My sister and I feel incredibly fortunate and privileged to have had him as our dad and we are so proud of how he lived his life. "Whilst we have our own personal grief as a family, we know from the abundance of messages, cards and calls we have received that there are many who will miss him also. “We have had contact from people who knew dad in a professional capacity from the police and the youth offending service, through to his rugby pals and contempories and of course from his many friends and neighbours, and it is clear that he was highly thought of and well respected across the board. “They are all saying what we know ourselves to be true, that he was a genuinely lovely man, he had a great sense of humour, a warm wit, spoke many a wise word and was a true gentleman. “He was one of the good guys. The world was a better place for having had him in it and he will be dearly missed.” His funeral was due to be held at Canley Crematorium yesterday. Watch: Christopher Eccleston talks about dementia

Watch: How alcohol can cause cancer Buying your drunk mate one last drink could land you with a sobering fine of up to £1,000. Few people realise that a little known section of the 2003 Licensing Act makes it illegal for you to buy booze for someone who has had too much. It also bans bar staff from serving customers who are clearly under the influence. Premises that do could be stripped of their licence. It is not known, however, if the law has ever been enforced in Coventry and Warwickshire. Dr John Larsen, director of evidence and impact for Drinkaware, said: “It has been against the law to buy alcohol for someone who is drunk and even to serve someone who is clearly drunk for some time now, but not everyone is aware of this. “While we recognise that many people enjoy drinking on a night out, the law exists to protect people from potential alcohol related harm. “Binge drinking can be extremely dangerous. Your body can only process one unit of alcohol an hour, and less in some people. “Drink a lot in a short space of time and the amount of alcohol in the blood can stop the body from working properly. “If you do drink too much, you could easily get into trouble – problems include breathing problems, seizures and brain damage. “The more drunk you are, the more likely you are to do something risky. “If you do chose to drink alcohol, it is best to stick within the recommended lower risk guidelines of 14 units of alcohol a week for both men and women, and to spread your drinks over three days or more.”

http://www.coventrytelegraph.net/whats-on/music-nightlife-news/justin-bieber-review-miming-undermines-12040125

The fans were certainly excited to see Bieber perform For some music fans, pop phenomenon Justin Bieber has gone some way to redeeming himself in the last few years. Hits What Do You Mean? and Sorry have brought a completely new level of respect that belies his roots and earlier music. Last night at the Barclaycard Arena in the centre of Birmingham those roots were there in full force. Fans were queueing as early as 12 hours in advance for the gig with many even getting some sleep. Bieber may have shown some brattish behaviour but the fans are as dedicated as ever. The Purpose World Tour has been a strange thing so far. Bieber mimed his way across festivals this summer but his stage presence and star power meant that it was less of an issue. Just ask the fans, they don’t mind. At least, to his credit, he basically arrives on stage on time. That’s more than he has given on previous tours and shows a lot more maturity than the past. He doesn’t even try to mime most of the time. It’s dancing along while his voice sings in the background. What’s clear is that he can get away with that far more at his own gigs than in the relatively neutral scenario of a festival. As one of those neutrals, it can be frustrating. No more so than on songs Cold Water and Love Yourself where he plays acoustically and demonstrates that he actually has a significant amount of talent . It’s hard not to shake the feeling that without those glimpses of genuine ability this would be fine. But they’re there and it overshadows the brilliance of a pop song like Sorry when he’s shown he can do it earlier in the show. Yet on the other hand, you can’t deny that the arena tour is significantly better than the festivals. You can’t deny the spectacle. The only thing you can really deny is the overarching feeling that this should be a perfect show but it’s just okay. The only reason for that is the miming and we must demand better from even our popstars.

This was pretty much the perfect riposte to those beginning to doubt Coventry’s credentials following a run of three defeats which had sent them sliding down the National League One table. A response was certainly needed after the poor display at Esher a week earlier, and with willing accomplices in Fylde, Cov came up with the goods in a fast, free-running game which allowed them to show off their attacking skills to the full. It wasn’t perfect, Cov’s early first-half play lacking some accuracy and Fylde’s noted offloading game posing a few problems. But Cov visibly grew in stature as the game progressed, and they finished worthy winners with eight tries to their name – the fifth reflecting just what a bit of confidence can do as loose head prop Andy Brown got on the end of a sweeping move, threw an outrageous dummy and waltzed past the last defender to go in from 15 metres to tumultuous applause. It was a great way for second row Tom Poole to celebrate his 100 appearance, and a performance which delighted director of rugby Rowland Winter. “We’ve taken Fylde on at their own game and beaten them well and truly,” said Winter. “We needed that after the last three weeks. “What pleased me is that the boys played like they train and they’ve actually been able to demonstrate the work they’ve been putting in over the last weeks. “At half-time we were ahead but we hadn’t completely got going, to be honest. We’d had two disallowed tries and got round them a couple of times without scoring, so that’s four opportunities at least that we hadn’t taken. “That’s been the story of our season so far, but in the second half we’ve been clinical, executed every chance we have had and pulled away. “We’ve still got a lot of work to do, but we’ve started playing off our scrum a little bit more and showing what our backs can do, and we scored one or two tries off first phase ball.” Cov’s side included three dual registered players from Wasps, who all made impressive debuts and figured on the score sheet – flanker Jack Willis, who was named man-of-the-match, and wingers Tom Howe and Owain James.. Added Winter: “Dual registration is something that we always said we would only go to if we had gaps in our squad and we needed people to come in and plug some holes. We’d lost a couple of back rows so Jack Willis has come in to fill that and he’s taken his opportunity really well. Equally, the two wings have shown pace and the ability to defend in the line as well, and that’s important. “We’ve given them players for the A League, and now Wasps have returned the favour.” Fylde took an early lead through a Chris Briers try, Greg Smith adding the conversion., but Cov responded quickly with an unconverted try from short range for Willis and after James had been denied a score by a forward pass, their scrum forced a penalty try which Will Maisey converted for a 12-7 lead at the end of the first quarter. Cov went further ahead when James Stokes received the ball five metres inside his own half and outpaced the Fylde cover for a superb individual try which Maisey also converted. Tom Burtonwood dived over for Fylde’s second try from a short line-out, Smith converting well, and the half ended with an exchange of penalties between Maisey and Smith to leave Cov 22-17 up. Howe raced over in the corner for Cov’s bonus point try five minutes after the restart before Brown’s show stealer put Cov three scores clear, and further tries followed from Rob Knox, Willis and James – all converted by Maisey – with David Fairbrother pulling one back for Fylde, Smith converting. Scorers: Coventry: tries Willis 2 (9, 80), penalty try (19), Stokes (26), Howe (45), Brown (50), Knox (67), James (80) ; conversions Maisey 5 (20, 27, 67, 80, 80) ; penalty Maisey (35). Fylde: tries Briers (4), Burtonwood (31), Fairbrother (73); conversions Smith 3; penalty Smith (40). Teams: Coventry: Stokes (Adamson 80); Howe, Hircock (Knox 52), Maisey, James; Fenner, Adamson (White 52); Brown (Boulton 80), Tolmie (Price 43), Boulton (Litchfield 60), Poole (Dyer 53), Snyman, Willis, Harry, Bone. Fylde: Dorrington; Bingham, Briers, Wilkinson, Brennand (Armstrong 43); Smith, Dever; Pope, Burtonwood (Maher 53), Wild (Griffiths 22), Arnold, Gore (Lamprey 22), Nott, Vernon (Brookes 69), Fairbrother.

University of Santo Tomas shoots for the first Final Four berth while Laoag seeks to stay in the semis race as they collide in a key match today in the Shakey’s V-League Season 13 Reinforced Conference at the Philsports Arena in Pasig. The Tigresses are raring to bounce back from their straight-set setback to a surging Customs side last Saturday that snapped their four-game run in the season-ending conference of the league sponsored by Shakey’s. But the Power Smashers are also out to rebound from their shutout loss to the UP Lady Maroons last Monday, ensuring a slam-bang duel of two teams without reinforcements in the import-laced tournament backed by Mikasa as official ball and Accel as official outfitter. Gametime is at 6 p.m. to be shown live over ABS-CBN Sports + Action Channel 17 or 23 and via streaming on www.sports.abs-cbn.com and via streaming on www.v-league,ph, according to the organizing Sports Vision. “We have to play with more aggressiveness and intensity if we want to stay on top and be with the best in the league,” said UST coach Kungfu Reyes, whose wards bucked the odds to sweep their first four matches that assured themselves of at least a playoff for the last semis seat. Laoag mentor Nes Pamilar voiced the same sentiment. “The key is playing with a lot of intensity from start to finish because we lost our last game because we struggled a bit at the start of the game,” said Pamilar, referring to their 20-25, 16-25, 23-25 loss to a struggling UP side. UST is expected to come in full force with Cherry Rondina making her second appearance since leading her school to the UAAP beach volleyball crown. EJ Laure, the league’s second leading scorer next only to Customs’ Alyssa Valdez, remains the Tigresses’ top draw with support to come from Claudia Cortez, Ria Meneses, Carla Sandoval and skipper Pam Lastimosa. Laoag, on the other hand, will bank on the power-hitting duo of Grethcel Soltones, the back-to-back NCAA MVP and this year’s Open Conference MVP from San Sebastian, and Jorelle Singh, member of the National U side that topped this year’s Collegiate Conference. Air Force (1-3) and Coast Guard (0-4), meanwhile, collide at 4 p.m. in a match to be shown on a delayed basis. Air Force, meanwhile, guns for its third straight win as it clashes with fancied Army (1-0) at 12:30 p.m. in the Spikers’ Turf Season 2 Third Conference, also at Philsports.

Police arrest man in Parliament rape investigation Police are investigating an alleged rape in Parliament. A 23-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of rape following the alleged attack in the early hours of Friday, the Metropolitan Police said. Police stressed that the man who had been arrested was not an MP. Troubled families scheme made 'no significant impact' A £448 million government initiative to fix problem neighbours has had "no significant impact", according to a leading think-tank. The Troubled Families Programme, launched in the wake of riots in 2011, was designed to turn around the lives of 120,000 of the most "troubled" families in England by 2015. It was then extended for a further five years starting in 2015/16 to help an additional 400,000 families with hundreds of millions of pounds earmarked for the task - bringing the total cost to more than £1 billion. Review of killings reveals mental health trust failings A review of 10 killings - including that of a pensioner who was stabbed after a collision between two cars - has uncovered failings at a mental health trust. Sussex Partnership NHS Foundation Trust has already apologised for its role in the lead up to the death of Donald Lock, who was stabbed 39 times on the A24 in Findon in July 2015. But a new independent review has found the trust did not always learn fully from previous mistakes and sometimes "severely underestimated" the risk posed by mental health patients. Rogue landlords to be banned from renting tiny bedrooms Rogue landlords will be banned from renting tiny bedrooms and licensing rules will be extended to cover flats above shops under Government plans The "fit and proper person" test for landlords could also be tightened up, with more stringent criminal record checks as part of a package of measures announced by Housing and Planning Minister Gavin Barwell. Under the plans, which will apply in England, the minimum room size in shared homes will be 6.52 square metres. Olympic and Paralympic medallists celebrate with Queen at Buckingham Palace Britain's Olympic and Paralympic medallists will celebrate their achievements during a reception at Buckingham Palace with the Queen tonight. The monarch and the Duke of Edinburgh, accompanied by the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and Prince Harry, will host the event for the medal winners of the 2016 Games in Rio. The Princess Royal, who is president of the British Olympic Association and a member of the International Olympic Committee, watched the games in Brazil and will meet athletes at the reception. Princess Eugenie and the Duke of York are also expected to attend. Top civil servant to be questioned by MPs about child sexual abuse inquiry The Home Office's top civil servant will be questioned by MPs about the national inquiry into child sexual abuse today. Mark Sedwill will appear before the Commons Home Affairs committee after it was disclosed that the former chairwoman of the probe, Dame Lowell Goddard, resigned days after the department was made aware of concerns about her "professionalism and competence". Dame Lowell, a New Zealand high court judge, has strongly denied allegations against her - including claims that she used racist language - describing them as "falsities", "malicious" and part of a "vicious campaign". Greenpeace joins town halls to fight Heathrow runway expansion Greenpeace has formed an "alliance" with four local authorities to prepare a legal challenge against Heathrow expansion. The organisation announced it would share costs and provide "new environmental expertise" to the partnership with Hillingdon, Richmond, Wandsworth and Windsor and Maidenhead councils. More claimants could join the group in the coming days as the wait continues for the Government to choose whether to expand airport capacity at Heathrow or Gatwick.

Filipino cyclist Rustom Lim and Spanish teammate Edgar Nieto ranked second and third after the first stage of the 2016 Jelajah Malaysia on Tuesday in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The 23-year old former Asian Junior Championship bronze medalist Lim and Nieto, who both represent the 7-Eleven Sava Road Bike Philippines, crossed the finish line 18 seconds behind frontrunner Iranian Rahim Emami of Pishgaman Giant Team. Emami clocked in four hours, 44 minutes and five seconds in the 206.5-kilometer race. Another member of 7-Eleven Sava Road Bike Philippines is Jesse Ewart of Australia who finished fifth overall—one minute and 13 seconds behind the stage winner. The 2-3 finish of Lim and Nieto, and the fifth spot finish of Ewart helped the Philippines took the top spot in the Team Classification with three minutes and 37 seconds lead over second placer Pishgaman Giant. The Jelajah Malaysia is an annual professional road bicycle race being held in the country since 1963. The tournament, which is a men’s only competition in seven stages, is a UCI (International Cycling Union) Asia Tour and classified by the world cycling body as a 2.2 category race. Jelajah Malaysia is the final race of the 7-Eleven Sava Road Bike Philippines for this year.

DEFENSE Secretary Delfin Lorenzana on Wednesday said he would recommend to President Rodrigo Duterte the scaling down of war games between the Philippines and the United States instead of terminating the joint drills for good. Lorenzana added that there is no decision to suspend the military exercises for next year but the President has told him to make a presentation on the Visiting Forces Agreement (VFA), Enhanced Defense Cooperation Agreement (EDCA) and the war games in a Cabinet meeting next month. “The VFA is still on. Everything else is going on,” Lorenzana told members of the Commission on Appointments during a hearing on his ad interim appointment as Defense secretary. Senate President Pro Tempore Franklin Drilon was inquiring about the status of the military defense agreements with the US and if there is already a decision to terminate or suspend them. “If the President is really intent on what he is telling the media, I think I will recommend the scaling down of [the military]exercises next year,” Lorenzana said. Duterte last month announced that there would be no more joint PH-US war games after the Philippines Amphibious Landing Exercise or Phiblex, which was held in several locations in Luzon and Palawan last October 4 to 12. Suspension of the joint military exercises with the US, according to the President, would not only be for this year but throughout his six-year term, or until 2022. Duterte said the government would maintain the military alliance with the US as provided in the Mutual DefenseTreaty (MDT) but would establish new alliances for trade and commerce particularly with China and Russia. Lorenzana said he might recommend to the President the suspension of Phiblex, as well as the Balikatan (shoulder-to-shoulder) military exercises also with the US, and concentrate on human assistance disaster response and counter-terrorism, among others. He admitted that joint drills like Phiblex and Balikatan and are benefitting local troops, although American are getting more from the war games. Lorenzana did not elaborate. Drilon asked Lorenzana why the government wants to terminate the war games when the Philippines is also gaining from them. “I really don’t know because the President has been issuing these statements without first consulting the Cabinet,” Lorenzana said. On a supposed plan of the government to veer away from the US and reach out to China and Russia, the Defense chief said the Philippines is just expanding its sources of materials. He, however, also admitted that the move would result in an inter-operability issue as most of the equipment of the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) are US-made or made by allies of the US.

Chinese star Zhu Ting tallied a record-setting performance as VakifBank Istanbul crashed old numbers to smother Hisamitsu Springs Kobe, 25-25, 25-15, 29-31, 15-18, in Tuesday’s opening salvo of the FIVB Women’s Club World Championship presented by PLDT at the Mall of Asia Arena. Zhu, Most Valuable Player in the Rio Olympics, tallied nine of the Turkish side’s 27 blocks to clobber the Japanese for their first victory in this prestigious tournament organized by the Philippine Superliga and Eventcourt with TV5, Petron, Asics, BMW, and F2 Logistics as sponsors, Diamond Hotel as official residence and Turkish Airlines as official airlines. Zhu’s performance on the defensive end surpassed the previous record of eight blocks notched by Adenizia of Sollys Nestle of Osasco against Foppapdretti Bergamo in 2010. On the same note, VakifBank Istanbul’s total rejections eclipsed the previous record of 25 blocks tallied by Sollys Nestle of Osasco against Chang Bangkok in 2011. Also opening this spectacle on a sizzling note was Volero Zurich, which clobbered Bangkok Glass, 25-21, 25-19, 25-23, in the second match of this spectacle that is also backed by the Philippine Sports Commission, Rexona, Mall of Asia Arena, Foton and Price Waterhouse Cooper with Mikasa, Gerflor and Jinling as technical sponsors. Olesia Rykhliuk delivered 16 kills and three aces for a total of 20 points while Dobriana Rabadzhieva chipped in 17 markers for the Swiss powerhouse, which is looking to barge into the medal podium after a bronze medal finish last year in Zurich. But the day belonged to Zhu and VakifBank Istanbul, one of the teams to beat in this tourney that is billed as the toughest ever as it features an Olympic gold medalist in Zhu, five silver medalists from Serbia and six bronze medalists from the US among eight competing teams. Ranged against the shorter, but very disciplined, Japanese side, Zhu starred in the first two sets before the Japanese launched a massive fight back in the crucial stretch of the third set. With Kim Hill towing VakifBank at match point, 24-23, Rika Namoto forced a deuce to ignite a fiery exchange of points featuring long rallies, great defensive effort and razor-sharp smashes. Zhu gave VakifBank the match point anew, 28-27, but Hisamitsu Springs Kobe went on to steal the set, 31-29. “You always have to be at your best whenever you’re facing a team like japan. This team is capable of mounting a comeback,” said VakifBank coach Giovanni Guidetti, noting their intimidating presence at the defensive end. “I’m impressed with the 27 blocks we did, that’s first time in my life. I like the energy my players put in the court. They were at their best in this game,” he said. Aside from the nine blocks, Zhu also registered 17 kills and two aces for 28 points while Lonneke Sloetjes and Kim Him finished with 18 and 17 points, respectively for VakifBank, which is looking to knock the crown off the head of crosstown rival Eczacibasi VitrA Istanbul. Olympian Miyu Nagaoka submitted 18 markers while Risa Shinnabe had 26 for Hisamitsu Springs Kobe. “This is a very high level tournament. So, it’s good that some of our problems surfaced early on, and we were able to solve it.” said Guidetti, whose wards will be taking a break today before facing Volero Zurich on Thursday.

http://www.manilatimes.net/chot-reyes-returns-gilas-coach/291936/

Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas (SBP) senior adviser to the president Ricky Vargas announced the reappointment of Vincent “Chot” Reyes as head coach of Gilas Pilipinas men’s national basketball team on Tuesday. The SBP, led by its president Al Panlilio and chairman Senator Sonny Angara, said that Gilas coach Tab Baldwin would assume his old position as team consultant. “He (Reyes) doesn’t loss the coaching touch. He stays in touch with all the Gilas Cadet players and hold a very good relationship with them which serves as his biggest strength,” Vargas told The Manila Times in a phone interview. “In terms of coaching technicality, he still has it.” “We welcome his appointment and that’s a collective decision from our part in the SBP.” Gilas Pilipinas team manager and SBP Deputy Director for International Affairs Butch Antonio said that Reyes, being the coach of Gilas, would not be in conflict with his other job as president of television network TV5. “We already thought about it and we believed coach Chot can do both task. I’m pretty sure he’ll have a good staff for TV5 and Gilas. Maybe, he can do the corporate work in the morning until the afternoon and then Gilas basketball practice in the evening,” Antonio said. “We’re just going to the same old set up during the 2013 to 2014 when Tab Baldwin served as team consultant of Coach Chot. We didn’t find any problem with that,” added Antonio. “For the part of Baldwin, he remains a part of Gilas.” Vargas said that the association valued Reyes’ huge contribution to Gilas Pilipinas when he led the team back to the FIBA World Cup two years ago in Spain following the squad’s first runner up finish in the 2013 FIBA Asia men’s basketball championship in Manila. “During the time of Reyes, the term ‘puso’ became viral all over the nation and became meaningful in the international scene especially in the 2014 FIBA World Cup and 2013 FIBA Asia,” added Vargas. “At the same time, his contribution to Philippine basketball is huge.” Despite Gilas Pilipinas finishing seventh in the 2014 Asian Games in Incheon, South Korea, Vargas said they decided to rehire Reyes because of his experience as national coach. “We considered the totality of coach Chot’s performance,” said Vargas. “What happened in the last Asian Games is only a minor setback compared to what he has done to Philippine basketball. MVP (Manny V. Pangilinan) has a blessing of coach’s reappointment.” SBP Executive Director Sonny Barrios, a former commissioner of the Philippine Basketball Association, said the relegation of Baldwin to national team consultant from being head coach is collective decision of the management. “It is a call of top management,” Barrios said during an interview. “When Baldwin was serving as a team consultant while Chot was the head coach, Gilas Pilipinas made it to the FIBA World Cup and finished first runner-up in the FIBA Asia.” “I think the top management based its decision on the winning combination of that set up and among other set ups,” added Barrios. “We are hoping that magic set up will work positively again. It is really a preparation for one Olympic cycle in the new FIBA calendar.” “This is not just for one tournament preparation but of course our target is to reach the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.” After the 2014 Asian Games, Reyes was replaced by Baldwin as Gilas coach. Under Baldwin, Gilas finished first runner-up in the 2015 FIBA Asia behind champion China and made it to the Olympic Qualifying Tournament in July hosted by the Philippines. Gilas, however, lost to France and New Zealand in that tournament and failed to secure a Rio Olympics berth.

De La Salle University aims to stretch its unbeaten run to 10 games when it battles National University (NU) today in the University Athletic Association of the Philippines Season 79 men’s basketball tournament at The Arena in San Juan City. The Green Archers, currently No.1 with a 9-0 win-loss record, will face the challenge of the 2014 champions Bulldogs in the second game at 4 p.m. after the 12 noon match between the Ateneo De Manila University Blue Eagles and the University of the East (UE) Red Warriors. De La Salle University previously defeated University of the Philippines, 78-72, upon the return of Jeron Teng, who posted 21 points, five rebounds and five assists. The victory, which guaranteed them of the first spot in the Final Four, was also in time for 39th birthday of Green Archers head coach Aldin Ayo on Saturday. “The more we win, the harder it gets because they are really preparing against us,” Ayo said. Besides Teng, leading Most Valuable Player candidate Ben Mbala will be leading the Green Archers’ charge together with Ricci Rivero, Prince Rivero, Kim Montalbo, Thomas Torres, Abu Tratter, Jason Perkins and Andrei Caracut. The NU Bulldogs, coming off a three-game losing streak are hoping to regain their winning form. NU and Adamson University are both carrying 4-5 win-loss records. “La Salle is a formidable opponent,” said NU coach Eric Altamirano via text message. “We have to play our best game against them. Hopefully, we can minimize our turnovers with their relentless pressure defense.” The Bulldogs will be relying on Matt Salem, the 6’7 Alfred Aroga, Jess Diputado, Nico Abatayo and guard Jay-Jay Alejandro. They lost 66-75, to the Green Archers during the first round of games on September 18. Meanwhile, the Blue Eagles are on a hunt for a fifth win when they face the Red Warriors. Ateneo is coming off a disappointing 52-56 loss to the Fighting Maroons last week. The Blue Eagles are now No.3 with a 4-4 win-loss record. Ateneo will be banking on Anton Asistio, Mike Nieto and Thirdy Ravena in subduing the Red Warriors. UE with a 2-6 win-loss record will be relying on Paul Varilla, Clark Derigue and Emil Palma in warding off the Blue Eagles. UE beat the Growling Tigers, 81-71, on October 8.

http://www.manilatimes.net/gin-kings-eye-9th-overall-crown-game-6/291937/

Barangay Ginebra will be shooting for a ninth overall title while Meralco is keen to forge a sudden-death game when they collide tonight in Game 6 of the best-of-seven finals of Philippine Basketball Association (PBA) Season 41 Governor’s Cup at the Araneta Coliseum. Game time begins 7 p.m. Euphoric after their 92-81 win in Game 5 on Sunday, the Gin Kings are eager to snatch their first ever Governor’s Cup crown and their ninth overall PBA title since joining the league in 1979. Ginebra started as an expansion team and later became a powerhouse squad after the arrival of Robert Jaworski Sr. in 1984 from the defunct Toyota team. Ginebra coach Tim Cone sees Meralco fighting all-out in Game 6, emphasizing that a great team with their back against the wall is hard to beat. The Gin Kings’ spectacular 66 percent overall shooting in the field was a huge factor in their victory in Game 5. “We put our best game of the series together in Game 5 and now our new challenge is to follow it up and not give the momentum back to Meralco,” Cone told The Manila Times via text message. “We expect a big fight-back by them. They’ve been an incredibly resilient team all conference long.” Though they are a win away from securing a title, import Justin Brownlee and veteran Jay-Jay Helterbrand agreed that beating Meralco in Game 6 is easier said and done. “We just have to come out hard and stay aggressive in Game 6,” Brownlee said during an interview. “They (Bolts) are not going to give it (title) but we’re not going to give them the momentum. I really love the fans here in the Philippines. We’re going to get the title.” “Nothing to be guaranteed because they are also a good team. We have to be better both defense and offense,” said Helterbrand. “Because with their back against the wall it is going to be tough to beat Meralco. They are playing with great intensity too.” Besides Brownlee and Helter­brand, the Gin Kings will also depend on Japeth Aguilar, Dave Marcelo, Chris Ellis, veteran Mark Caguioa, Solomon Mer­cado, big man Jervy Cruz as well as rookies Earl Scottie Thompson and Aljon Mariano. Meralco, on the other hand, declared that they would not go down without a fight. “It’s do or die so we must get off to a good start and match the energy of Ginebra right from the jump ball,” Bolts coach Norman Black told The Manila Times via text message. “At this point, it is about who wants it the most so we have to play the type of basketball that got us this far in the tournament.” “We must play our best basketball now.” The Bolts will be banking on veteran Jimmy Alapag and Reynel Hugnatan, rookies Chris New­some and Baser Amer, Cliff Hodge, Kelly Nabong, Anjo Caram, Jonathan Uyloan, Rabeh Al-Hussaini, swingman Jared Dillinger and import Allen Durham. “Absolutely, I’m still optimistic that we can tie this series and force a sudden-death game,” said Alapag. Meralco took Game 1 (114-109) and Game 3 (107-103) but Ginebra won Game 2 (95-92), Game 4 (88-86) and Game 5.

East Sussex Healthcare NHS Trust, which runs the Conquest Hospital and Eastbourne’s DGH, has been placed in Financial Special Measures, it has been announced this afternoon (October 17). The Trust has been dubbed one of England’s ‘most financially troubled hospitals’ by NHS Improvement. The Financial Special Measures programme, launched by NHS Improvement as part of the financial reset in July 2016, provides a rapid turnaround package for trusts and foundation trusts which have either not agreed savings targets (also known as control totals), or planned to make savings but deviated significantly from this plan. As part of financial special measures, each trust agrees a recovery plan with NHS Improvement. The trusts also get support from – and are held accountable by – a Financial Improvement Director. These are highly experienced current or former NHS leaders or experts in turning around major organisations. The five trusts that are already in Financial Special Measures are responding well and NHS Trust says some of these are likely to be released from special measures in a few months’ time, when they have demonstrated continued delivery of their plan and key milestones. East Sussex Healthcare is the latest Trust to be placed in Financial Special Measures, alongside Gloucestershire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust and Brighton and Sussex University Hospitals NHS Trust. Between them, the three Trusts are forecasting a deficit of over £73 million and have failed to keep up with their agreed control totals. Jim Mackey, chief executive of NHS improvement, said: “NHS providers all over the country have responded well to the financial challenge, are working flat out to meet growing demand, and continue to provide high quality care in more efficient ways. “The five trusts who are already in Financial Special Measures have responded well, and we’ve been able to work together to identify around £100 million extra in savings. “However, the three providers going into Financial Special Measures are causing significant concern. They’ve agreed savings targets locally but are a long way from meeting them. “The financial performance of these three trusts has simply not been good enough and so we’re sending in some targeted support to identify what the problem is, and help them fix it.” * Don’t miss out on all the latest breaking news where you live.

BAGUIO CITY: The local government unit (LGU) of Baguio City offered to host the Cordillera Administrative Region Athletic Association (CARAA) meet in February 2017 which the Department of Education – Cordillera Regional Office (DepEd-CAR) gladly accepted. In a letter to Baguio City Mayor Mauricio Domogan, DepEd-CAR officer-in-charge (OIC) director Edgardo Alos indicated that the agency accepted the offer of the LGU Baguio to host the 2017 sports meet. Baguio City will play host to the CARAA meet for the third consecutive year. Alos stated that no other LGU in the region submitted its offer to host the 2017 CARAA meet leaving the CARAA committee no other choice but to accept the offer of Baguio City. Earlier, Domogan assured that there would be significant improvements at the Baguio Athletic Bowl and other sports facilities to be used by the athletes next year. Domogan said local government plans to put up a multi-storey building within the vacant space in the swimming pool area to be used for indoor sports and athletes quarters using the initial appropriation of PhP60 million from its supplemental budget last year. The athletes will be given a chance to showcase their skills and talents in various sports venues around the city as identified by the organizing committee. The CARAA meet is a venue where athletes from the different provinces and cities in the region compete for the right to represent the Cordillera Region in the 2017 Palarong Pambansa in May. In 2015, the city was chosen to host the CARAA and the city government again signified its intention to host the 2016 regional sports event after improvements at the Baguio Athletic Bowl were infused like the rubberized track oval.

Air Force checked its two-game slide with a methodical 25-11, 25-19, 25-8 victory over a hapless Coast Guard side on Wednesday to keep its slim semifinals hopes alive in the Shakeys’ V-League Season 13 Reinforced Conference at the Philsports Arena in Pasig. The Jet Spikers imposed their will on the net while pouncing on the Lady Dolphins poor reception and floor defense to post the lopsided 60-minute win in a big rebound from their four-set and shutout losses to the Laoag Power Smashers and BaliPure Water Defenders, respectively, last week. Despite the victory, Air Force, runner-up to Pocari Sweat in the Open Conference early this year, remained tied for sixth with UP at 2-3 and will need to sweep its last two games against UP and Customs and hope that three from Pocari, BaliPure, Laoag and UP won’t go over four wins to force a playoff for the last semis seat in the season-ending conference of the league sponsored by Shakey’s. The Lady Dolphins actually put up a gutsy stand in the second set and kept the game close but a series of mishits enabled the Jet Spikers to pull away again in the end. It was cruise control in the third with Air Force posting a 16-6 lead before finishing off their rivals with hits on set and combination plays, tip-ins and on their rivals’ errors. “Unlike in our losses, we played as a team today (yesterday),” said Dell Palomata, who finished with seven attack points for an eight-point total and clinched the best player of the game honors. “We’ll just have to play with more confidence and improve on our communication in our last two games.” Mary Ann Pantino topscored for Air Force with 10 hits while Jennifer Manzano and Judy Ann Caballejo added six points apiece and Joy Cases, Iari Yongco and Mae Antipuesto chipped in five hits each. Air Force unloaded 44 kills against Coast Guard’s measly 14-attack effort with the Jet Spikers also producing seven aces and four blocks to dominate the Lady Dolphins in tournament backed by Mikasa as official ball and Accel as official outfitter. Grenlen Malapit had five points while Sam Dawson and Hazel Mea made four and three hits, respectively, for the ousted Coast Guard, which fell to 0-5. Earlier, Air Force rolled to its third straight victory, beating Army, 25-22, 27-25, 25-17, to close in on the first semifinal berth in the Spikers’ Turf Season 2 Third Conference, also at Philsports. Ten of coach Rhovyl Verayo’s men scored with Mark Alfafara leading the attack wtih 14 points and Bryan Bagunas adding 11 markers. Top setter Jessie Lopez had another field day distributing the balls to the Air Force hitters with Bagunas, Nino Jerus, Ruben Inaudito and Edwin Tolentino combining with Alfafara to finish off the Troopers in three. In contrast, only seven contributed to Army’s total production with Benjaylo Labide topscoring with 13 hits and Patrick John Rojas adding 11 markers. Army dropped to fourth at 1-1 behind defending champion Cignal TV and Instituto Estetico Manila, which tote identical 2-1 cards each. Champion Supra and ousted 100 Plus have 1-2 and 0-4 slates, respectively. The top four teams after the single round elims will advance to the semis.

Ateneo de Manila University (ADMU) eyes to bag its third straight crown in the University Athletic Association of the Philippines (UAAP) men’s and women’s swimming championships today at the Rizal Memorial Sports Complex swimming pool in Malate, Manila. “Competition has definitely leveled up, they (competitors) know they have to adjust their program to catch up, and we know they have improved. And for us to stay above, we have to keep improving. Of course it gets harder as the performance gets higher too so we always look at what we can control and that is the performances of our swimmers individually and as a team. Championship, three-peat would be sweet though,” said Ateneo swimming program director Archie Lim in an email on Wednesday. Despite missing the services of Kimberly and Basille Uy and Gio Palencia, Lim said that some of his wards went out of their comfort zones. “We have new recruits year. Events might be different so (there are) some swimmers we ask to train for events even though it is not their specialty.” The Ateneo swimming director considers De La Salle University (DLSU) and University of the Philippines (UP) as contenders for the title in the upcoming season. “I know La Salle has poured in a lot of resources for their team, and UP will always be a contender. I am not discounting any other team though. I don’t know how their programs have gone but we focus on our own.” Lim refused to make any prediction for his team, “We have worked hard so hopefully great swims as with the previous years.” Ateneo tankers followed a rigid training regimen that includes two to three hours of swimming nine to 10 times a week, gym workouts and monitored nutritional intake. Axel Ngui, reigning Most Valuable Player (MVP) Hannah Dato, as well as two-time MVP, UAAP Season 78 Athlete of the Year, and two-time Olympian Jessie Lacuna will lead Ateneo’s charge. But Lim said that he expects all his swimmers to step up in their respective matches. In the juniors division, the Ateneo Blue Eaglets will gun for their 12th consecutive title. “This year is the first time for the senior high school students to swim. I know a lot of school were able to recruit senior high school swimmers, so it would be interesting,” said Lim. The UAAP Season 79 swimming championships will open with the events 4×50-meter medley relay, 100-meter freestyle, 200-meter individual medley, 800-meter freestyle, and 4×200-meter freestyle relay.

Online firms who prey on students by offering bespoke essays in exchange for cash are to be targeted by Coventry University. The university is taking part in a day of action, held at institutions across the world, to combat so-called contract cheating. Experts say increasing numbers of students at all universities, not just Coventry, are sucked in by the temptation to part with money in exchange for pre-written papers. One leading firm was last year exposed as boasting that they had produced “nearly five million words” for students in one academic year. And another bragged they had provided essays for students at top institutions such as the London School Of Economics. Students can even pay extra to get a “distinction” in their degree. An investigation by the Telegraph’s sister paper The Mirror revealed that a 10,000-word masters dissertation on international relations sells for £2,000 and undergraduate politics essays for £85 per 1,000 words. One UK-based website boasts that its essays will not be picked up by plagiarism detection software used by universities. Coventry University will lead the UK campaign tomorrow for the first International Day of Action over so-called contract cheating. Irene Glendinning, a researcher into academic integrity at Coventry University, said: “We have been working on this action day for some time. “The issue of students paying for someone to do their work for them is hitting institutions across the world and has very serious implications. “It undermines the quality and integrity of degrees and the entire educational system. “But sadly contract cheating is a growing, multi-million pound industry making it very accessible and affordable for students.” As part of the global action day students are encouraged to share a message on social media about why they are against such forms of cheating to spread awareness of the practice and encourage others to take pride in their work. Coventry University’s Dr Thomas Lancaster, an international speaker on contract cheating, said: “It is ten years since I first exposed the problem of contract cheating in the UK. “Since then, I’ve watched the market grow and seen the sheer cheek of essay writing companies getting inside universities to market their services. “Moves by the government to make contract cheating services illegal are welcome, but there is still work to be done. This day of action being led by Coventry University can only be a positive step.” In June, the Telegraph reported how there was support in Coventry for a petition demanding legal action against companies selling essays to students to cheat in exams. The event is being led by the International Center for Academic Integrity (ICAI) and Coventry University will join institutions in Canada, Greece, Australia and the USA to educate new students and staff and help stamp out the problem. The day follows on from a report published by the Quality Assurance Agency for Higher Education into the problems earlier this year.

http://www.manilatimes.net/golden-state-top-tip-nba-gms-poll/292121/

LOS ANGELES: The Golden State Warriors are the overwhelming favorites for the 2016-2017 National Basketball Association (NBA) crown, a survey of the league’s general managers showed Tuesday (Wednesday in Manila). The Warriors, beaten in last year’s finals by LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers, are backed by a whopping 69% of GMs to regain the title they last won in 2015. The Warriors lost an epic NBA Finals duel against the Cavs in June, being pipped 4-3 in the best-of-seven series. However since that bitter defeat the Warriors have strengthened their squad with the addition of Oklahoma City Thunder’s Kevin Durant. Only 31 percent of GMs polled backed James and the Cavaliers to mount a successful defence of their title. Unsurprisingly, the Warriors and the Cavs are the overwhelming favorites to top their respective conferences, both coming out on top with 96.7%. The Warriors were backed to finish ahead of the San Antonio Spurs and Los Angeles Clippers in the Western Conference, while the Cavs were expected to finish first ahead of Toronto and Boston in the East. Golden State’s stellar line-up was also tipped to be the most likely to be fun to watch, with 93.3% of the votes. Nevertheless, while the Warriors remained overwhelming favorites, Cleveland talisman James was tipped to be the season MVP, with 46.7% of the votes, ahead of Oklahoma City’s Russell Westbrook 23.3% and Golden State’s Stephen Curry and Houston’s James Harden, both with 10%. The survey however found that Minnesota’s Karl-Anthony Towns was the most coveted player in the league. Asked to name the one player they could sign if they were starting a franchise, Towns topped the poll with 48.3%, ahead of Durant (20.7%) and James (17.2%). Milwaukee’s Giannis Antetokounmpo was named as the best international player in the league with 27.6% ahead of Memphis’s Marc Gasol and the evergreen Dirk Nowitzki of Dallas. AFP

REIGNING three-time men’s champion De La Salle hurdled five do-or-die games to advance in the title round of the UAAP Season table tennis tournament at the Blue Eagle Gym on Wednesday. Looked like goners after ranking sixth in the eliminations, the Green Archers defeated second seeded National University in the second step-ladder semifinals match via identical 3-2 scores to clinch the remaining Finals berth. De La Salle, which earlier toppled Far Eastern University, University of the Philippines and University of the East in succession, will face unbeaten University of Santo Tomas in the best-of-three series starting on Oct. 26 at the same Katipunan venue. The Growling Tigers gained an outright passage in the men’s Finals after going 14-0 in the eliminations. With the improbable run in the step-ladder playoffs, the Archers remained on course for a championship double. Looking invincible despite losing Olympian Ian Lariba to graduation, three-peat seeking De La Salle also secured a Finals berth after sweeping the 14-game eliminations. The Lady Archers will face the Tigresses, which defeated the twice-to-beat Lady Tamaraws in the second step-ladder, in championship round on Oct. 26. UST overcame No. 2 FEU with 3-1 and 3-2 victories to keep its title hopes alive.

The colossal LeBron James banner soaring over downtown is getting a small — but significant — upgrade. The iconic, 10-stories-tall mural is being removed this week and replaced with a new one that includes a gold patch of the Larry O'Brien Trophy on the back of James' uniform to represent the Cavaliers winning the NBA title last season, ending Cleveland's 52-year championship drought. The new banner is expected to be installed by Friday. The Cavs open their season against the New York Knicks on Oct. 25, when the players will receive their championship rings and a title banner will be unveiled in the rafters of Quicken Loans Arena. James' likeness towers over the city, and the black-and-white image of the superstar, his muscular arms outstretched, has become a tourist stop and symbol of civic pride. Sherwin-Williams considered temporarily removing the giant James banner this summer during the Republican National Convention but changed its mind after a public backlash. The company ended up making a $150,000 donation to the LeBron James Family Foundation. An original banner of James was taken down after he signed with the Miami Heat in 2010. The new one was installed in October 2014, a few months after the three-time champion re-signed with Cleveland. The golden upgrade comes as the Indians, who play at Progressive Field next door to the Cavs' arena, are leading the AL Championship Series 2-0 over the Toronto Blue Jays. The Indians are trying to end a World Series drought dating to 1948.

Ateneo de Manila University beat University of the East (UE) 75-61, to remain No. 3 in the University Athletic Association of the Philippines (UAAP) Season 79 men’s basketball tournament on Wednesday at The Arena in San Juan City. Rookie point guard Jolo Mendoza had a career-high 15 points while sophomore Thirdy Ravena delivered 14 markers, five rebounds and one assist to lead the Blue Eagles to their fifth win in nine games. “It’s really hard playing against UE. Good thing, a couple of our bench guys stepped up this time both on offense and defense. Right now, we want to focus on our next game [against National University],” said Ateneo assistant coach Sandy Arespacochaga. John Wong contributed 11 points and three assists, and Mike Nieto added 10 points, seven boards and two steals for Ateneo. The Red Warriors suffered their seventh loss against two wins to remain at the bottom of the standings. Philip Manalang topscored for UE with 16 points, five rebounds and three assists, while Ronnie De Leon chipped in 13 points, five boards, a steal and an assists. UE had a strong start resulting in a seven-point lead in the first quarter, 23-16, but Ateneo retaliated in the second frame with a 26-14 bomb to claim the upper hand, 42-37, going into the second half. The Blue Eagles continued to dominate the third period to stretch their lead to 12 points, 60-48. Since then, Ateneo never looked back to seal the win. Ateneo survived the game despite committing 23 turnovers. They registered 48 rebounds compared to UE’s 40. The Blue Eagles went 19-of-23 in the free throw line and had 38.71 field goal shooting, a few notches higher than the Red Warriors’ 31.88 shooting percentage.

http://www.manilatimes.net/pacquiao-nears-peak-condition-2/292124/

Eight-division world titleholder Manny Pacquiao announced that he is now in 90-percent peak fighting form with less than three weeks before his bout against World Boxing Organization world welterweight champion Jessie Vargas on November 5 in Las Vegas, Nevada. Pacquiao, who engaged the unbeaten American boxer Jose Ramirez in a grueling 10-round sparring session on Tuesday, will fly to the US Saturday evening for the last phase of his training at the Wildcard gym in California. “I guess I’m now 90 percent ready with only two weeks and a half left,” the 37-year-old Pacquiao (58-6-2 win-loss-draw record with 38 knockouts) told The Manila Times. “I always prepare myself and train hard. So far so good, I’m ready to fight.” Pacquiao also brushed aside Vargas’ statement saying that’s he’s afraid of the American. Top Rank Promotion’s twitter account posted a statement attributed to Vargas that says: “I know he’s (Pacquiao) intimidated. I know that he’s asking himself, ‘Is this it for me?’” The Filipino ring icon said that he’d better off spending his time on training, “I’m just ignoring it and I don’t waste my time on that,” Pacquiao said. “My focus is on my training. I’m very thankful to all my fans and to God for giving me the strength and power. It is very inspiring to train in front of many people. We’re not interrupted.” Ramirez, meanwhile, predicted that Pacquiao would tear Vargas (27-1 record with 10 knockouts) apart in the later rounds with speed and explosive power. “If Manny (Pacquiao) will control the fight, it’s going to be dangerous on the part of Vargas because Manny will become comfortable in breaking him in the later rounds,” he said. “But if Jessie Vargas will be able to adjust to Manny’s style, I guess it will be good for him. He’s also a dangerous fighter. So far, Manny’s condition looks good to me,” Ramirez added.

http://www.manilatimes.net/puerto-rican-crowned-miss-intercontinental-2016/291747/

Twenty-year-old Heilymar Rosario Velazquez of Puerto Rico was declared Miss Intercontinental 2016 in Colombo, Sri Lanka on Sunday. She bested 62 other candidates, including the Philippines’ Jennifer Ruth Alviar Hammond, who managed to get into Top 15. Making it to Top 5 were Sri Lanka’s Tracy Ann De Zilva as First Runner-Up (Continental Queen Asia & Oceania), Miss Ghana Vera Saphoa (Continental Queen Africa) 2nd Runner-Up, Miss Italy Floriana Russo (Continental Queen Europe) 3rd Runner-Up and Miss Venezuela Amal Karina Nemer (Miss South America) 4th Runner-Up. Completing the Top 15 were candidates from Costa Rica, Colombia, Seychelles, Thailand, China, Czech Republic, Scotland, Poland and Ukraine. Best Body was Miss Costa Rica and Best National Costume was Miss Thailand. Since 2013, the Philippines’ candidates had successfully secured a place in the roster of Miss Intercontinental winners: Koreen Medina was 3rd Runner-Up in 2013 [albeit as a Mutya ng Pilipinas winner as it was only in 2014 that Miss Intercontinental joined Binibining Pilipinas]; Kris Tiffany Janson was 2nd Runner-Up in 2014; and Christi Lyn McGarry won First Runner-Up in 2015. As beauty powerhouse, the Philippine bet this year was predicted to win the title or at least approximate the country’s placement the last two years. As expected, Hammond’s loss enraged beauty pageant aficionados here and around the world who watched the pageant via live streaming, especially since she was not even for a place in the Top 5. “It’s a cooking show, not a beauty pageant. Jennifer’s photo should be taken down from the web site of Miss Intercontinental,” one enraged Filipino fan said online. “They are using the Philippines to gain viewers and likes to their site,” a Latino beauty pageant aficionado commented. Binibining Pilipinas nevertheless issued the following congratulatory statement on Hammond’s accomplishment: “BPCI [Bininibining Pilipinas Charities, Inc.] is proud of your achievement and expresses its gratitude to everyone who supported Jennifer in her journey.

El Invima aclaró que en el desarrollo de sus planes rutinarios de muestreo a productos procesados, evidencio que una muestra del Lote X1193 40201-060 de Lomitos de Atún en agua, marca Van Cams, presentaba un contenido de mercurio superior al permitido en la normativa colombiana (resultado de 1.39 mg/kg, mientras que el límite máximo permitido es de 1.0 mg/kg). Así, el Invima procedió, con ayuda de las Secretarias de Salud Departamentales, a la búsqueda y decomiso del lote en mención. Es importante mencionar que los riesgos del mercurio para la salud humana (efectos negativos en fetos o en el sistema nervioso en desarrollo de un niño pequeño) no están asociados al consumo de una porción única de pescado con excedencias de mercurio, sino al consumo crónico de pescados y mariscos (cantidad de pescado y marisco que se coma, y niveles del mercurio en el pescado y el marisco consumido). Así, el Invima y el Instituto Nacional de salud se encuentran realizando un estudio sobre el consumo de pescado en la población colombiana, que permitirá emitir recomendaciones claras sobre niveles máximos de consumo y riesgos potenciales para la salud. Esto, teniendo en cuenta que el pescado y el marisco contienen proteínas de alta calidad y otros nutrientes esenciales incluyendo ácidos grasos omega-3 y que una dieta equilibrada que incluya pescados y mariscos puede contribuir a la salud cardiaca, y al crecimiento y desarrollo adecuado de los niños. El Invima seguirá realizando de manera trasparente y comprometida sus actividades de inspección, vigilancia y control con el propósito de salvaguardar la salud de los consumidores colombianos.

Holidaymakers choosing to travel with Ryanair are being braced for changes to the way they check-in with the budget carrier. The window for checking in online for free is shrinking from a week to four days, Ryanair has confirmed. Ryanair announced that from November 1, it will reduce the check-in period for random seat allocation from 7 days to 4 days ahead of departure, to increase the choice available to customers who wish to reserve their seat onboard. Ryanair say this change will offer all customers who wish to reserve their preferred seat an even longer period of time to choose their seat on board. All Ryanair customers may buy their reserved seat online, both on the Ryanair.com website and mobile app, from the time of booking right up to 2 hours before their schedule departure. In turn, they can check-in online and on the app from between 30 days and 2 hours before their flight. Ryanair is introducing this measure following extensive customer feedback as part of its “Always Getting Better” programme, as it improves every aspect of the Ryanair experience for the 117million customers it will carry this year. But from November 1, customers who do not wish to reserve their preferred seat, can check-in online or on the mobile app, between 4 days and 2 hours before departure and will be allocated a random seat. Unfortunately, that makes it unlikely for you to be placed next to any of your travel companions. Watch: Woman gets trapped in Boots store at Birmingham Airport. Read more here. The airline says it's shaving three days off the free check-in window because it believes this will "increase the choice available" to customers who opt to pay for reserved seats by giving them a greater time frame in which to choose. Ryanair’s Kenny Jacobs said: “We’re continuing to listen to our customers through our “Always Getting Better” programme and this change reflects the customer feedback we have received. "From 1st November, we’re offering those customers who wish to reserve seats more time to choose their preferred seat, by reducing the check-in window from 7 to 4 days pre-departure for those customers who prefer a random seat. "Customers who do not wish to reserve their seat will be able to check-in between 4 days and 2 hours ahead of their departure, using both the Ryanair.com website and Ryanair mobile app, and will continue to be randomly allocated a seat, free of charge. "Over 13m customers are using the Ryanair app to download and travel on mobile boarding passes, making travel with Ryanair even simpler." The change will apply to all Ryanair passengers, including those who've already booked a flight for after November 1.

The 25-man Philippine Swimming League (PSL) team will be leaving today to compete in the 2016 Buccaneer Invitational Swimming Championship from October 22 to 23 at the St. Mary’s International School swimming pool in Tokyo, Japan. PSL President Susan Papa will head the delegation along with PSL Secretary General Maria Susan Benasa, NCR Regional Director Joan Mojdeh, and coaches Alex Papa, Jeffrey Medrano and Ruben Thruelen. “We’re all set for this competition. The kids are motivated. We had intensive training for a few weeks as part of their buildup for the competition since we’re expecting tough challenge against some of the region’s best tankers,” said Papa. Veteran international campaigners Marc Bryan Dula of Weisenheimer Academy, Micaela Jasmine Mojdeh of Immaculate Heart of Mary College-Parañaque and Kyla Soguilon of Aklan Swimming Team will spearhead the country’s campaign. Also gunning for medals are Diliman Preparatory School standouts Paul Christian King Cusing, Paula Carmela Cusing, Lee Grant Cabral and Albert Sermonia 2nd as well as Trump Christian Luistro of Hope Christian School-Legazpi, Felice Alexis Reyes of Wesleyan College and Rio Lorenzo Malapitan of Divine Word College-Calapan. The other members of the team are Julyiana Cassiopea Calibjo, Lucio Cuyong 2nd, Diane Fabicon, Zachie Gallegos, Jairus Lester Laguidao, Angelo Macaraig, Edgar Danzel Roberto, Tiffany Shaine Sanchez, Remogenes Sobretodo, Kobe Soguilon, Triza Haileyana Tabamo, Arbeen Miguel Thruelen, John Rylle Villagomeza and Shyne Nicole Villagomeza. “This is a good chance for them especially those who are first-timers in international competition to hone their skills as they’ll be competing against their veteran foreign counterparts. We want them to experience this kind of high level tournament because it’s part of our program for our grassroots,” added Papa. In the 2016 Tokyo Winter Swimming Championship held in February, the PSL won 13 golds, seven silvers and six bronzes with Dula and Mojdeh leading the team with four gold medals each including new records in their respective events. PSL Male Swimmer of the Year Sean Terence Zamora, University of the Philippines standout Drew Benett Magbag and 2015 Tokyo Invitational Swimming Championship gold medalist Charize Juliana Esmero won’t be around this time as they are slated to compete in the University Athletic Association of the Philippines Season 79 swimming championship beginning today at the Rizal Memorial Swimming Pool in Manila.

Este pueblo, distraído e idiotizado por los grandes medios de comunicación, ve pasar ante sus ojos lo que lo emprobrecerá y lo recibe en silencio.

El Gobiernos es benefactor de las grandes superficies, en detrimento de los tenderos. Si no protestamos y nos dejamos abusar de esta manera, asistiremos al inicio de llevar a Colombia a la dictadura impositiva. El Nobel de Paz está dispuesto a abusar de su pueblo.

Se trata de la primera entrega de todos los trabajos que se adelantan en el deprimido de la calle 94 y que Peñalosa destrabó apenas arrancó su Administración, en enero pasado. De hecho, los carriles fueron entregados con dos meses de anticipación a lo proyectado y se estima que por esta vía se movilizan en promedio de 2.900 vehículos en hora pico en cada sentido. “En esta importante obra estamos trabajando las 24 horas del día. En 10 meses hicimos más de lo que se había hecho en dos años”, sostuvo el Alcalde, quien visitó los trabajos el fin de semana junto a la directora del IDU, Yaneth Mantilla, y los delegados de la interventoría. “Quiero felicitar al IDU porque estamos avanzando a buena marcha. Nuestro compromiso es entregar toda la obra completa en marzo del próximo año”, anunció Peñalosa. Los vecinos del sector y los conductores que transitan a diario por este punto le agradecieron al Alcalde que le haya puesto el acelerador al deprimido de la 94. “Esto va descongestionar mucho este sector e incluso le va dar más fluidez a la calle 100 que vive congestionada. Va a permitir que la NQS fluya mejor”, destacó Hugo Soto, conductor. “Es una buena noticia. Llevamos siete años de caos vehicular y los negocios que funcionan aquí se han visto afectados con la demora en los trabajos, porque la gente no puede venir acá. Por eso, estamos muy felices con estos avances”, afirmó Miguel Ángel Rodríguez, vecino del sector. Esta obra, que pagaron los ciudadanos con valorización, presentó múltiples problemas en su ejecución y planeación. Este año, con la llegada de Peñalosa, el IDU logró solucionar todos los inconvenientes para poder entregarla al servicio en marzo próximo. El siguiente objetivo del IDU es finalizar la construcción y habilitar el puente peatonal de la calle 94, costado sur, que está pactado para ser entregado en diciembre. Peñalosa resaltó que los ciudadanos pueden estar tranquilos de que los recursos de la ciudad están siendo bien invertidos para sacar a Bogotá del atraso en movilidad. “Estamos trabajando con toda la técnica y con el mejor equipo, haciendo los mejores diseños, y por eso los ciudadanos pueden estar seguros que aquí vamos a hacer una revolución en materia de obras”, sostuvo el mandatario bogotano.

http://www.coventrytelegraph.net/news/killer-bug-left-hundreds-children-12039087

Kids are at risk from a terrifying bug that has left children paralysed within days of contracting the disease. Children aged between four and 12 are most in danger of getting Enterovirus D68 which can leave victims with ‘polio-like’ long-term nerve damage. There have been 38 confirmed cases so far this year, which has prompted Public Health England (PHE) to issue a warning to parents. But affected families fear not enough is being done to alert the public. PHE said it was not aware of any cases of the virus in Coventry and Warwickshire. But at least four victims are in hospital in Scotland after being struck down by the virus with a young boy of primary school age left fighting for his life in intensive care for more than a month. All four appeared to have lost the use of their limbs after they were rushed into a hospital in Edinburgh, but in rare cases victims have been left fighting to breathe. The vicious disease, which currently has no cure or anti-viral vaccine, can be spread easily through coughs and sneezes with most patients being admitted to hospital with respiratory problems – and in rare cases neurological issues. A source close to the outbreak told Mail Online: “GPs need to know that this virus is out there so they can recognise symptoms and make quick referrals. “The symptoms seem to start with a sore throat but within a day or so they are left unable to breathe as their muscles stop working and they become floppy. “It’s a terrifying disease that leaves a lot of the children permanently paralysed. “The health officials seem to be really keen that this is kept secret but parents and doctors need to know.” Dr Kate Templeton, chairman of NHS Lothian’s incident management team confirmed the patients are all now testing negative for the virus. In 2014 an outbreak of the virus spread across the United States – infecting more than 1,000 children and leaving more than 100 children paralysed, according to a study in The Lancet Infectious Diseases. After the outbreak, British health officials launched an investigation and found 56 cases that year and 14 cases in 2015. So far in 2016, 38 cases of laboratory confirmed EV-D68 infection have been diagnosed, according to PHE. In a risk assessment warning issued this month the authority said: “These cases are scattered across the UK and the majority were during the spring and summer months. “The available information suggests that the majority of these cases are sporadic and have presented with respiratory symptoms resulting in hospital admission. “A small number presented with neurological signs and symptoms. It is currently not clear if this increase in numbers represents a change in incidents.” Symptoms of EV-D68 EV-D68 can cause mild to severe respiratory illness. Mild symptoms may include fever, runny nose, sneezing, cough, and body and muscle aches. Severe symptoms may include wheezing and difficulty breathing.

http://www.coventrytelegraph.net/news/iconic-land-rover-defender-features-12040704

Watch: The original Land Rover Defender in action An iconic Coventry car has been immortalised on the back of an African banknote - worth a sixth of a penny. While UK banknotes feature favoured historical figures such as Winston Churchill, the 50 kwacha note in Malawi features the famed Land Rover Defender - designed in Coventry and built in Solihull. And a leading authority on the marque thinks the UK should take a leaf out of Malawi’s book and pay tribute to one of the Coventry car maker’s finest creations. Mike Gould, an author who has written several books on the Land Rover marque, believes a Defender might be an apt choice for a UK banknote, or another car from the growing Land Rover range - or even Land Rover design supremo and Cov kid Gerry McGovern. Mr Gould said: “It would certainly be appropriate to feature something more interesting than a boring old politician like Winston Churchill on the new plastic fiver on our banknotes and, if the designs were refreshed more frequently presumably this would discourage forgers. “Given the present state of the currency maybe the Austin Allegro would be appropriate. “But, seriously, vehicles like the Evoque have made a massive contribution to British exports and are worthy of more recognition. Maybe with a portrait of Coventry lad, Gerry McGovern.” The Defender is most probably featured on the banknote because its rugged off-road capabilities make it the perfect safari or aid vehicle on the country’s dusty roads and tracks. Mr Gould added: “It was claimed that the first vehicle many people saw was a Land Rover and of course it’s still true that some have never seen a car at all never mind ridden in one. “The Land Rover and subsequently the Defender were used extensively by aid agencies bringing succour to suffering people and to help in agricultural and other projects. In this respect it deserves recognition. “Sadly, it was also used by the military and police around the world so the appearance of one may not always have been welcomed.” Production of the Land Rover Defender stopped earlier this year after nearly 70 years, but a brand new model is likely to be unveiled next year. The current crop of UK banknotes feature a selection of historical figures along with Winston Churchill. The paper £5 note features social reformer Elizabeth Fry, naturalist Charles Darwin is depicted on the £10 note while economist Adam Smith features on the £20 note. For those lucky enough to get one, the £50 note features Midlands industrial pioneers Matthew Boulton and James Watt.

http://www.coventrytelegraph.net/news/ex-footballer-jailed-after-brutal-12040888

A talented footballer once linked with Coventry City left a man partially blinded after attacking him outside a Holbrooks pub. Thug Richard Davies, a once-promising footballer with Derby County, punched Ian McDonald outside the Holly Bush pub. The blow felled Mr McDonald and he was left with severe injuries to his face and eye when he landed on a glass he had been holding. Davies, 27, of Malmsbury Avenue, Holbrooks, was jailed for 16 months after admitting causing grievous bodily harm at Warwick Crown Court. He also admitted four offences of criminal damage and one of racially aggravated common assault on a police officer. Prosecutor Laura Cully told how, in September last year, Mr McDonald was watching a rugby match in the pub when Davies and a friend came in. While they were in the pub there was some sort of verbal exchange between Davies and Mr McDonald, who had known his father. But his friend had already been banned from the pub for life, so when the landlord saw them, he told them to leave, which they did. Mr McDonald later went outside for a cigarette, and as he was standing there Davies came rushing towards him and felled him with a single punch. Shocked onlookers saw him lying in a pool of blood after he had landed face-down on the glass he had been holding at the time. Mr McDonald was taken to hospital where it was found he had a fractured eye socket which had filled with blood, and a deep 4cm wound which had damaged the muscle to the right of his right eye. As a result of the horrific injury, he has lost 30% of his sight in the eye and needs to wear sunglasses because light hurts his eye, He also has blurred vision and may need further surgery. When Davies was finally arrested and interviewed in March this year, he made no comment, but was subsequently identified by Mr McDonald, the landlord and two other witnesses. He was bailed but then went on to reoffend. In June, police were called in the early hours of the morning by residents in Gospel Oak Road, Holbrooks, where Davies was shouting, swearing and damaging cars. During his rampage he caused more than £1,000 of damage by jumping up and down on the bonnet of a Toyota Auris, kicking the wing mirror off an Audi TT, smashing the rear window of a VW Polo and ramming a wheelie bin into a Peugeot 208. Davies was aggressive and abusive towards the police, and had to be threatened with a Taser before being arrested. Then in the custody suite at the police station, he spat at an officer, who had nothing to do with his arrest, before racially abusing him. Scott Coughtrie, defending, said: “If you had had cause to meet Richard Davies prior to 2012, one may have formed a different view of him. “He was a prominent professional sportsman with a football contract with Derby and a potential contract with Coventry.” Mr Coughtrie told how Davies began binge drinking and abusing solvents after a split in his family, which sent his football career spiralling downhill. Jailing Davies, Recorder Kevin Hegarty QC told him: “For some reason, because of a remark you took exception to, you ran at Mr McDonald and landed him a mighty blow. “He suffered a massive fracture and also suffered a deep wound when he fell onto a glass he was holding and damage to the inside wall of his eye socket. “It is said you were destined, only four years ago, to being a promising soccer player, but troubles in your family put you off your destination and you turned to drink.”

Police are investigating an allegation that a Conservative MP's aide raped a woman in Parliament. Sam Armstrong, chief of staff to South Thanet MP Craig Mackinlay, was arrested last week. The 23-year-old has been released on bail while inquiries continue into the incident, which is alleged to have occurred in the early hours of Friday. Police searched Mr Mackinlay's office in Westminster in connection with the allegation later that day. A spokesman for the MP said: "On Friday morning, Mr Mackinlay was made aware of an allegation against a member of his staff. "Following a request made by the police and parliamentary services he granted full access to his Westminster office. "Mr Mackinlay is currently awaiting further information from the police." A Metropolitan Police spokesman said: "Detectives from the Sexual Offences, Exploitation and Child Abuse Command are investigating an allegation of rape at the Houses of Parliament in the early hours of Friday 14 October. "A 23-year-old man was arrested that same day on suspicion of rape. He has been bailed pending further inquires to a date in mid-January 2017." A House of Commons spokesman said: "We are aware of an incident on the parliamentary estate which is being investigated by the Metropolitan Police Service. "Parliament is working closely with the police on their investigation and we cannot comment further while this is ongoing." According to The Sun, the allegation was made after a group of Tory aides had been drinking on the House of Lords terrace, overlooking the River Thames. Mr Armstrong reportedly took the woman to the MP's Parliamentary office in the early hours of Friday and she reported the alleged attack soon afterwards.

Christmas is coming, and that means one thing: the annual John Lewis advert. The latest ad, which aims to match the magic of last year’s Man on the Moon tear-jerker, will first air in November. Previous festive John Lewis ads have ranged from CGI penguins to re-enactments of the First World War. This year, high profile companies and retail giants will be airing their festive efforts in a bid to get our custom during a bumper season of shopping in the run-up to December 25. The John Lewis annual effort has become a British institution over the past few years, with festive fans turning away from staples like the Coca-Cola truck in favour of the widely-anticipated advert. Like anything which captures the imagination, it also generates a lot of buzz - and that most wonderful time of the year is approaching fast. When will it air? Every year since 2009, John Lewis and the brains behind its agency Adam & EveDDB have come up with increasingly rousing and polished adverts. Last year's Man on the Moon had viewers either weeping dramatically, or coming up with less, kinder theories about the elderly gentleman. It debuted on our screens on November 6 - a Friday - meaning the corresponding Friday this year is November 4. It followed the same pattern as The Bear and the Hare, which was unveiled on Friday, November 8. That's LESS than three weeks away, guys. Can we expect anything before then? Last year the store teased us with a 10-second clip accompanied by a mystery hashtag during a Sunday night episode of The X Factor. So even if the show is not your thing, you might want to keep a beady eye out for a teaser of 2016's advert. What will feature? No matter what the advert depicts, one thing is for sure: it will well and truly tug on our heartstrings. The adverts seem to get progressively more emotive and touching every single year, so we're expecting a brilliant instalment for 2016. Last year's Man in the Moon put the spotlight on the loneliness and isolation felt by many elderly people in this country, as John Lewis teamed up with Age UK. At the heart of their ads tends to be a message or theme. Other themes have been friendship - who can forget the Bear and the Hare's inter-special bond - as well as the joy gift-giving can bring. Who will sing? 2011 saw The Smiths' 'Please Please Let Me Get What I Want' covered, before Frankie Goes to Holloywood's 'The Power of Love' a year later. Lily Allen covered Keane's 'Somewhere Only We Know' for The Bear and the Hare, while Tom Odell sang John Lennon's 'Real Love' for Monty the Penguin. Last year, Scandinavian singer AURORA sang a cover of Oasis' hit 'Half the World Away'. Needless to say, speculation is rife as to whether the music of one of the musicians we've lost in 2016 will play a part.

TalkTalk customers across Coventry and Warwickshire are set to experience a double-whammy of price hikes as Christmas approaches. The festive period, which is generally a time for counting the pennies and making them stretch further, will see the provider hike prices in November AND December. Increases could cost UK households as much as £33 per year for broadband, phone and TV packages. The telecoms network has said it is currently in the process of getting in touch with customers and letting them know of the price charges. Package costs will rise on Friday, November 4, while call charges will begin to take effect on Thursday, December 1. A statement on the TalkTalk website says: "In continuing to bring our customers the things that matter, like 100 per cent totally unlimited broadband, investing in our network to increase internet speeds, free phone privacy features and more TV content, some of our prices are increasing. "However, around half of our customers can avoid our price increase by switching to our brand new fixed low price plans and in many cases pay less than what they pay today." If you're currently on TalkTalk's 'simply broadband' package, its 'Essentials TV' package, or its 'Plus TV' package, you'll be charged an extra £2.75/month as of 4 November (£1.25/month more for line rental and £1.50/month more for your broadband package) – this is equivalent to £33 extra per year. Package charges and new prices from 4 November: Line rental is going up from £17.70 to £18.95. Value line rental (for 12 months) is going up from £191.16 to £204.66. Value line rental (for 18 months) is going up from £270.81 to £289.93. Simply Broadband is going up from £7.50 to £9. Essentials TV (incl broadband) is going up from £10 to £11.50. Plus TV (incl broadband) is going up from £20 to £24.50. Changes in calling rates from 1 December: Call connection fee is going up from 17p to 18p. UK calling out of any bundle package is going up from 11.5p to 12.5p. Earlier this year, Virgin Media launched its Supercharging Local Communities initiative in Warwickshire. The programme from the company aims to search for local communities who may benefit from an ultrafast broadband boost as part of its £3billion network expansion plan across the UK. Homes and businesses within Warwickshire could benefit from an ultrafast optical fibre broadband connection delivered direct to their door, as part of Virgin Media’s Project Lightning network expansion.

KIDS under the age of 15 will be given free entry to RZSS Edinburgh Zoo this October holiday – if they bring along a spooky tiger-carved pumpkin with them. The offer, which runs between Monday 17 and Sunday 23 October, celebrates the zoo’s latest exhibit opening, Tiger Tracks, which is home to Jambi and Baginda, a pair of critically endangered Sumatran tigers. The new attraction, which is three times the size of the previous tiger enclosure, gives visitors the chance to walk through a glass tunnel where they can get up close with the animals as they walk overhead on a specially constructed walkway. The best pumpkin designs will go on display in the Tiger Tracks tunnel until Hallowe’en. Darren McGarry, head of living collections at RZSS Edinburgh Zoo, said: “It’s an exciting time for us and we’re hoping this fun offer will bring much-needed attention to our new Tiger Tracks enclosure and to the plight of the Sumatran tiger in the wild. Many of the animals at RZSS Edinburgh Zoo love the taste of pumpkin so it’s a Hallowe’en treat for them and a chance for children to explore the Zoo for free. “We can’t wait to see all of the pumpkin designs.”

http://www.coventrytelegraph.net/news/uk-world-news/russia-syria-suspend-aleppo-air-12041587

The Russian defence minister said that Russian and Syrian war planes have halted their air strikes on Syria's besieged city of Aleppo in preparation for a temporary pause in the military push. Sergei Shoigu said the halt in the strikes should help pave the way for militants to leave the eastern rebel-held parts of the contested city. Both Russian and Syrian air raids on Aleppo were suspended at 10am local time, Mr Shoigu said. He described the suspension as a precursor for the opening of humanitarian corridors. Moscow on Monday announced a "humanitarian pause" between 8am and 4pm on Thursday to allow civilians and militants safe passage out of the city. At that time, Russian and Syrian militaries will desist from any offensive actions. Syrian rebels, including al Qaida militants, as well as the wounded and the sick will be allowed to leave for the neighbouring rebel-held province of Idlib. "The early halting of air strikes is necessary to declare a 'humanitarian pause'," Mr Shoigu said in a televised statement. "It will ... guarantee a safe exit of civilians through six corridors and prepare for the evacuation of the ill and the wounded from the eastern part of Aleppo." Russian president Vladimir Putin's spokesman, Dmitry Peskov, said the halt in the air strikes was a goodwill gesture to pave the way for Thursday's pause. "The Russian military is offering yet another chance, and we hope that our partners will allow us all to take advantage of that," Mr Peskov said. Aleppo, Syria's largest city and once its commercial hub, has been subjected to the most intense aerial bombardment since the start of the Middle East country's conflict in 2011. In recent months, the Syrian army has pressed its offensive into the rebel-held eastern part of the city. Air raids have killed hundreds and caused international outrage. A Russia-US-brokered ceasefire collapsed last month as the Syrian army launched an offensive on eastern Aleppo under the cover of Russian war planes. Mohammed Abu Rajab, an Aleppo resident, said air strikes on the eastern neighbourhoods stopped early on Tuesday, just after the city had been subjected to another intense round of air raids. "There were air strikes throughout the night," said Abu Rajab, who works at a local hospital. In Moscow, Mr Shoigu added that Russia is "asking the countries wielding influence with the (Syrian) rebels ... to persuade their leaders to end fighting and leave the city". He said the Syrian troops will pull back to distances allowing unimpeded exit for those carrying weapons via two corridors, including the main artery of Castello Road. The Russian initiative should also boost talks between military experts from several nations that are set to open in Geneva on Wednesday, he added. "Their work will be aimed first of all at separating the 'moderate opposition' from the terrorists and its withdrawal from the eastern part of Aleppo," he said. Moscow has urged Washington to encourage Syria's Western-backed rebels to sever ties with al Qaida militants. During a meeting over the weekend co-chaired by Russian foreign minister Sergey Lavrov and US secretary of state John Kerry, foreign ministers from Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Qatar said they would work to separate moderate opposition groups in Aleppo from Syria's former al Qaida affiliate once known as the Nusra Front. Russian and Syrian officials have since embraced a proposal made earlier this month by the UN Syria envoy, Staffan de Mistura, to allow al Qaida-linked militants to leave Aleppo in exchange for a truce and a local administration for the eastern districts. Rebels there, along with many residents, have rejected the offer. Russia's announcement did not include any promises of an extended ceasefire or local administration in and around Aleppo. US state department spokesman Mark Toner, speaking to reporters in Washington on Monday, said the Russian-Syrian pause planned on Thursday was "a bit too little, too late". Mr Peskov would not say if the strikes would resume after the pause, saying that depends on whether the rebels can be persuaded to cut ties with militants.

Hello Kitty Cafe Truck Coming to Dadeland Mall This Weekend A bright-pink truck stocked with sweet goodies and a sense of nostalgia will be parked at Dadeland Mall this Saturday, October 22. Splashed in larger-than-life illustrations of the iconic white cat and multicolored cookies, cupcakes, and candies, the truck will be parked outside the mall's the main entrance. According to reps, the truck will be located across from the mall's fountain, though it would be difficult to miss the brightly hued van with hot-pink bows for hubcaps regardless where it sets up shop. Onboard, find a variety of treats for purchase, including a three-piece cookie set, a rainbow macaron box with a surprise Sanrio character, a four-pack of mini kitty cakes, and pink bow-shaped bottles of water. Besides offering food, the truck will also sell Hello Kitty swag, including coffee mugs, T-shirts, and a signature bow headband. As Election Day nears, the truck will feature a "Hello Kitty for President" frosted cookie inspired by the brand's initiative to celebrate "friendship, fun, and happiness." The cookie is limited to 50 per stop. Hello Kitty fans who snag the exclusive sweet will receive a free bumper sticker too. The truck, which hit the road in October 2014, is similar to its standalone Sanrio counterparts found in malls across the nation. However, the mobile version sells only Hello Kitty-related items, no other animated characters. Created by the folks at Sanrio, a Japanese company that concentrates on the "kawaii" (cute) segment of Japanese pop culture, the truck premiered at Hello Kitty Con, a convention devoted to Hello Kitty, in 2014. This past summer, Sanrio opened a yearlong brick-and-mortar Hello Kitty Cafe in Los Angeles. Upcoming Events In Miami, the truck will be open from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Saturday. Lines are expected to be long, so plan accordingly. Related Location Sponsor Content

I always thought that preservation of public libraries could be taken for granted under a Labour council. I know that my literacy was greatly aided from the age of seven by books borrowed from the local library. Going there became a habit that I am sure is lifelong. The fact that my library is always busy, sometimes with infants in supervised activity, should gratify the city councillors, as the national policy statements of the parties, particularly the Labour Party, have always placed emphasis on educational and cultural provision for the people. What has gone wrong? Well, we are told that there is no alternative, because of the cuts. I totally oppose the severe reduction in the Council’s grants from central government. But there is considerable new, civic expenditure in progress in Coventry, on the roads layout, on Friargate and shortly on the 50 metre swimming pool. Curtailment of some aspects of these projects, desirable as they are for modernisation of the city, is surely a realistic option in order to save basic services. The title of City of Culture 2021 may well be the council’s prime status symbol, but it will be a mockery if the threat to close down up to five public libraries (Caludon, Cheylesmore, Coundon, Finham and Earlsdon) is carried out, together with a reduced budget and increasing reliance on volunteers at the other local libraries. The residents’ associations in Earlsdon have rejected the proposal that management of the library should be in the hands of volunteers, as it is a complicated and responsible business requiring professional staff. They have commented that although they are offered meetings with council officers charged with carrying out these retrograde policies, they are unable to meet with the councillors who made the decisions, in order to discuss the options. This curb on local democracy should be met by strong community protest. John Moore, Earlsdon The “Stand against Racism” group that rallied in Coventry on Saturday needs to change its offensive name. It suggests that the rest of us are prejudiced towards the children that are to be reunited with their families in the UK. It is nothing to do with racism that people like me voted to curb immigrants pouring into our country at an alarming rate. It baffles me why these do gooders do not see the problems that are piling up for our own kids with this unstoppable surge of people from all corners of the globe. If immigration was working for Britain then why are we still billions of pounds in debt? Simply adding to this problem is without doubt a sure way to bring the UK to its knees while we continue to leave our borders open. If you think that I am racist by saying these things then speak up and tell me your thoughts. You people are misguided in thinking that us Brits do not care about the plight of these unfortunate people but you are out of order with the name of your group, just stop suggesting that we are racists. Joe Fordham, Walsgrave Willenhall shopping centre has always been a busy and vibrant place. Whether shopping or meeting up with friends for coffee it was always a nice place to visit. In recent years many new-comers have arrived adding to the already diverse community. Everyone got along fine irrespective of where they came from. But after the Brexit vote things changed, the country seemed to change over night. The atmosphere changed as resentment and racism to some suddenly became acceptable. The other day a Polish shop was targeted and was razed to the ground after an arson attack. Thankfully the owner Norbert Krupa and his staff were not injured. But it is only a matter of time until there is a fatality unless the government takes firm action to suppress the rise in racism and racist attacks that the Brexit vote has brought about. Phyllis N Bembridge, Ball Hill I am writing in to say how much I enjoyed the poem sent in by Andy McDonald about Coventry. I enjoy reading the poetry section although some are not particularly to my liking. Therefore, when one comes up that inspires me I feel compelled to write in and say so. Like Andy McDonald my heart belongs to Coventry even though I was not raised here. This is my home and I would not want to live anywhere else. So please don’t send us to Birmingham.

http://www.coventrytelegraph.net/sport/football/coventry-city-shouldnt-bottom-league-12037633

Russell Slade believes Coventry City have enough quality to climb off the bottom of League One and out of danger but admits the players need help. The affable Charlton Athletic boss says the Sky Blues are lacking experienced heads to provide leadership on the pitch for an otherwise talented group of young players. “Coventry are a good passing team and, for me, shouldn’t be at the foot of the table,” said the 56-year-old, speaking after his Valiants side put City to the sword at The Valley. “They have got some good players and you have to respect the fact that they are going to move the ball around, which they did, but we found space when we won it back and created opportunities.” Asked if he thinks City have enough quality to get out of trouble, he said: “Yes. My opinion is they certainly have enough technical ability to do that. “There are some good players, good young players with ability and I noticed before the game that in terms of possession they have had the lion share in every single game they have played so far this season. “So clearly the issues are more without the ball than with it, although they’ve probably not scored as many goals as they would have liked. “This game is unforgiving if you don’t value the basics, defensively, as a team. I think you have to defend well as a team and I am sure Mark Venus and his coaching staff will be working on that to ensure that they’re a difficult team to beat, which is what you need to do in the first instance. “And then you need to find that bit of quality to go and win you a game or two. But do I think they have got enough there? Yes I do. I don’t know the characters but in terms of ability I would say yes.” But like his own side a few short months ago, Slade knows the importance of older pros in any side. Elder statesmen “It may be that the balance of that elder statesmen in the team, to help those younger ones, is not quite right,” he said. “That was the situation here and I brought in the likes of Jason Pearce who has got a bit of a voice, brought in Andrew Crofts – older players to be role models for the young players we have, people to look up to and who know the game inside out a little bit. “Ricketts around the building, I am sure, is a good example of that at Coventry and maybe they need a few more like Ricketts, I don’t know.” He added: “If you want to be more than what you are now then you have to do more. That means more work and everyone has to buy into it. It’s a real process and there’s no quick fix. You might get a little run of results that encourage you but there’s no quick fix. Stability “In a sense you don’t want that because you want long term stability in your football club, where you have something to build on. You don’t want to build it on sand. I can see what’s going off. There’s a lot of young players in there with talent and they’ll be learning through these situations and they’ll be better for it.”

Amidst the excitement created by away wins at Leicester and Northampton, in seems to have almost gone unnoticed that Wasps have demolished the three most recent visitors to the Ricoh Arena to the aggregate tune of 199 points, and in the process racked up 27 tries. Some superb running rugby was at the heart of these victories, which, it should be noted, have all come in perfect conditions on the kind of immaculate surface, which as October gives way to winter, may soon be just a distant memory. This may all seem glaringly obvious, but the 2015-16 line-up undoubtedly preferred the sun on their backs, and very little cut in the underfoot conditions. Their worst performance of the season came on a cold, wet Manchester evening against Sale, while home wins against struggling Newcastle and Worcester could, and perhaps should, both have been rainy defeats. Mastering the full spectrum of weather, pitch, refereeing and opponents is one of the factors that sets champion teams apart from the rest, especially in the Northern Hemisphere. It is therefore essential to be able to adapt the tactical approach to the prevailing conditions, and Ashley Johnson believes Wasps are well on the way to this. “Conditions really play their part in England,” he says, “as pitches vary so much across the season. “We’ve been playing on awesome pitches so far this season. When I went on Franklin’s Gardens before the game I asked if it was a hybrid pitch, even though it is grass, because of how good it was. Welford Road’s new pitch is a huge improvement and the Ricoh is always excellent. “This is ideal for us because we’ve got so many guys who like to get their hands on the ball, but there are plenty of ways of playing winning rugby. “While we like the way we play at the moment, if we need to bite the bullet, like we did at Northampton, we’ve got the players to adjust the game plan and do that, and the likes of Joe Simpson, Danny Cipriani and Jimmy Gopperth are really good tactical kickers. “It’s about finding the balance between really enjoying ourselves and playing attacking rugby and playing winning rugby. A lot of that is about making good decisions about when to run and when to play more of a kicking-based game.” Johnson has wound back the clock in recent weeks, and returned to the No.6 shirt where he began his Wasps career and played most of his senior rugby in his native South Africa. Prior to that, he was acquiring something of a reputation as an impact player, in fact it is difficult to think of anyone in the Premiership who provides as much instant energy from the bench as the likeable former Springbok. As Dai Young constantly reminds us, top-flight rugby is now a 23-man sport, but the thought that players may soon be selected as ‘specialist substitutes’ is not one Johnson warms to. “Rugby players would never want to be classified as bench players,” he says, “although you can see the importance of guys providing impact and go-forward and a lot of energy. “It’s all about the team, and if you have to do a job for the team it’s fine as long as you know you’re contributing and the team is winning. “We’re all experienced and mature enough to know it’s not just about the individual’s point of view, and while we’re disappointed when we’re not in the starting line-up, we recognise it’s about the team. “Coming off the bench isn’t really that different to starting, other than you’ve had chance to assess what’s happening. That means you can be objective and work out where there is a bit of a weakness in the opposition, or where the gaps might be, then go on as a fresh pair of eyes and try to exploit those areas.”

As hundreds of fans and friends paid their respects to the Ireland rugby legend who died over the weekend, the Foleys said they deeply appreciated the huge outpouring of support and sympathy. “With Anthony’s passing, we have ultimately lost an amazing, adoring and loving father and husband; an equally caring, loyal and devoted son and brother; a central and go-to figure for the wider Foley and Hogan families,” the family said. “Our anguish at the sudden loss of Anthony is bottomless. “We have been plunged deep into an incomprehensible darkness and sense of loss that we must work our way through over the coming days, weeks, months and years.”

Die Fußballerinnen des FC Bayern München stehen im Achtelfinale der Champions League vor einer lösbaren Aufgabe. Der deutsche Meister trifft auf den russischen Vertreter FK Rossijanka. Auch der VfL Wolfsburg bekommt es mit einem eher leichten Gegner zu tun. Die Wolfsburgerinnen treten gegen Eskilstuna United aus Schweden an. Die Bayern, die in der ersten Runde Hibernian Edinburgh in zwei Partien (6:0, 4:1) ausgeschaltet hatten, spielen zunächst zu Hause, Wolfsburg muss erst auswärts antreten. Das ergab die Auslosung der Europäischen Fußball-Union (UEFA) in Nyon. Dabei wurden die Gegner der deutschen Mannschaften allerdings nicht im eigentlichen Sinn gelost. Bayern und der VfL wären aufeinandergetroffen. Da ein nationales Duell im Achtelfinale ausgeschlossen ist, wurden die jeweiligen Gegner bei der Prozedur "weitergereicht". Die Hinspiele werden am 9. und 10. November ausgetragen, die Rückspiele finden am 16. und 17. November statt. Das Finale steigt am 1. Juni in Cardiff.

Diede fuoco alla compagna incinta, chiesti 15 anni di carcere Paolo Pietropaolo e la sua ex compagna Carla Caiazzo I pm della Procura di Napoli hanno chiesto 15 anni di reclusione per Paolo Pietropaolo, il 41enne che diede fuoco alla sua ex compagna Carla Caiazzo, all’epoca incinta, il 1° febbraio scorso a Pozzuoli (Napoli). La richiesta è stata formulata nel corso della prima udienza del processo con rito abbreviato davanti al gup di Napoli, che vede Pietropaolo imputato per tentato omicidio e stalking. La donna, 38 anni, fu fatta partorire d’urgenza immediatamente dopo l’accaduto dai medici dell’ospedale Cardarelli di Napoli. Da allora è stata sottoposta a più interventi chirurgici, l’ultimo dei quali pochi giorni fa, motivo per il quale non le è stato possibile essere presente all’udienza. Carla Caiazzo si è costituita parte civile al processo.

A rugby league player has been arrested after an incident which left a policeman with a broken wrist. Wakefield Trinity Wildcats have confirmed that they are investigating after hooker Scott Moore was involved in an incident on Friday morning. A 28-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of theft and a serious police assault following the pursuit in Leigh which ended in violence and resulted in a police officer sustaining a broken wrist. Greater Manchester Police confirmed that the early hours pursuit started on the East Lancashire Road at 3.55am on Friday after a Mercedes sports car was seen driving at speed. The pursuit came to an end on Leigh’s Arrow Street where, following a significant struggle with officers, the 28-year-old man was arrested and taken to hospital for treatment. He has since been released on police bail until December 3. The club issued a statement today, Monday, which reads: “The Club have been made aware over the weekend, of an incident that occurred on early Friday morning involving our player Scott Moore. “Having spoken to Scott briefly over the weekend, the Club have opened an investigation into the matter, and await further reports from the police. “There will be no further comment at this time.” One of the officers involved in the incident was also taken to hospital after sustaining a broken wrist. Police have confirmed that during the incident a taser was deployed. Residents took to social media reporting a large amount of police activity in the Dakin Road and Arrow Street area.

http://www.hawick-news.co.uk/news/local-headlines/roadworks-set-to-see-further-closures-of-a7-near-stow-and-hawick-1-4260676

The A7 is to be closed north of Stow for six days for roadworks. A stretch of the Carlisle-Edinburgh road from north of Stow up to Midlothian boundary will be shut for resurfacing and patching on Friday, October 28, and from Monday, October 31, to Friday, November 4. The closures, from 8am to 4pm on those days, will allow improvements to be made to various sections of the road, including the bends near Heriot. Access will be available to residents under guidance of sentries located at either end of the closed stretch of road, and electronic signs will be put up in advance to warn motorists. The X95 bus service linking Edinburgh with the Borders will continue to operate as normal, however. Scottish Borders Council’s executive member for roads and infrastructure, Selkirkshire councillor Gordon Edgar, said: “As joint vice-chairman of the A7 Action Group, I know the importance of the A7 to the Borders. “This section of the route is used by almost 5,400 vehicles every day, according to statistics from the action group, and I am sure the improvements will be welcomed by motorists. “There will inevitably be some disruption due to the extent of the works, but the council has made efforts to ensure local residents can still use the road, and the main bus service will be maintained.” The roadworks north of Stow follow others being carried out on the A7 between Hawick and Langholm this week. Resurfacing is taking place nightly at Hoghill, Linhope and south of Ewes since Monday, but that work is due to be completed on Thursday, October 20. The road has been shut from 8pm to 6am but open as normal outside those hours. Further drainage improvement works will take place on the A7 at Linhope this Saturday and Sunday, October 22 and 23, from 8am to 6pm on both days, necessitating the closure of the road between the North Bridge roundabout at Hawick and the junction with B720 north of Canonbie. The £220,000 road revamp near Hawick has been timed to coincide with Nottinghamshire-based Alco Knitting Machine Services having the A7 closed at the town’s Buccleuch Road to allow it to take away machinery used by the old Peter Scott knitwear factory following its closure in January.

http://www.lep.co.uk/sport/football/pne-s-spurr-hopes-injury-issues-are-over-after-frustrating-start-1-8185323

Tommy Spurr hopes the frustrating start to his Preston North End career is at an end. The summer signing from Blackburn Rovers has found his progress halted at Deepdale by first an ankle injury picked up at Chorley in pre-season and then a recent bout of flu. The 29-year-old defender made his fifth start for the club in the 2-2 draw at Brighton on Saturday in place of the suspended Greg Cunningham and admits it’s been tough going with the Lilywhites thus far. “It’s been frustrating for me so far,” said Spurr. “Just to get a game of any sort is a positive. “It’s just been stop-start. I always feel like I’m catching up and not quite getting there. “For gaffer to show the faith in me to just stick me straight in is good though.” Spurr has impressed more often than not when he’s got his chance but knows he has plenty of competition for a regular spot in Simon Grayson’s side. With Cunningham having served a one-game ban for five yellow cards the left-footer knows even a solid display going in both directions at the Amex Stadium might not be enough to keep him in the side against another of the early-season pace-setters, Huddersfield, at Deepdale on Wednesday night. “I’ll just take whatever comes for me,” he said. “Greg’s done really well and it’s down to the manager. “I’ll accept whatever and just keep working hard. “That’s what I do. I don’t cause trouble and stamp my feet I’ll just get on with it either way.” The most recent injury setback saw the Leeds-born stopper suffer from flu alongside Liam Grimshaw, both missing a couple of weeks of action. “I was off for a week and then I came back training and had nothing in me,” Spurr said. “It took a bit to get back into it. “It’s done me good to get 90 minutes on Saturday because I’ve not done much since I’ve been ill.” The Brighton performance saw Spurr and the rest of the PNE backline up against it for long periods before sealing a late point thanks to Simon Makienok’s stoppage-time header. “To come to a place like Brighton who are flying and take a point in the end it’s obviously a positive,” he said. “We rode our luck at times and defended a lot but shows the character that we’ve got in the changing room to keep going. “You never know what you can get in the end and it’s a big result away from home.” It is a point that keeps up North End’s encouraging pre-international break form, Grayson’s Lilywhites now unbeaten in five games in all competitions. Things get no easier with Brighton the first in a run of games against the Championship’s top four before the end of the month. “We showed that we can stick in there and defend well.” Spurr said. “Away from home you take your points however they come. We just managed to stay in there and Si’s come up with a great header in the end. “At home we’ll try and win our games and I know it sounds simple but that’s what we’ll try and do.”

http://www.coventrytelegraph.net/news/coventry-news/coventry-city-chairman-accuses-sky-12038283

A supporter-led takeover approach for Coventry City has prompted a backlash from the club’s chairman. CCFC chairman Tim Fisher accused the Sky Blue Trust of ‘undermining’ the club after the supporters’ group privately approached Coventry City’s hedge fund owners Sisu and its chief executive Joy Seppala to discuss a possible fan-led takeover. He also challenged the Trust to clarify the group’s financial status during the latest meeting of the Supporters’ Consultative Group (SCG) on October 12. Mr Fisher suggested during the meeting that a formal takeover offer had been made, but outgoing Sky Blue Trust chairman Steve Brown clarified that no bid had been made and that the Trust had simply requested a meeting . He also questioned how Mr Fisher was aware of what he says is a confidential letter to Ms Seppala from the Trust. As the Telegraph revealed on Friday, the Trust had been advised over the takeover approach by Mike Dyer, of Verisona Law, a lawyer who had assisted in the fan-led acquisition of Pompey. Mr Fisher suggested that this represented a conflict of interest due to Mr Dyer’s interest in Portsmouth - but the Trust and Mr Dyer have since clarified that he is simply acting as an adviser and not with a view to obtaining an interest in CCFC. The details of the heated exchanges emerged as the latest edited minutes of the SCG were published on the Coventry City website. The SCG was established in 2006 as a means of providing supporters with access to club officials. In recent years it has been criticised over the way it operates and how representative of supporters it is. We have published an extract of the minutes, which you can read in full here , below. Tim Fisher: At last week’s teleconference , I’d like to think the club indulged the SCG by showing this year’s financials ahead of formal release by the auditors – Can I ask the Sky Blues Trust to also indulge the SCG and present the financials for Sky Blues Supporters Initiative Ltd? Steve Brown: I can send them to you but as of 6pm today I am no longer the chairman of the Sky Blue Trust . Tim Fisher: Is there any other member of the Sky Blue Trust present apart from Steve? Steve – can you go through the numbers now? Steve Brown: The numbers are a couple of thousands of pounds. Tim Fisher: Really? How could you be sure? The Trust has not filed accounts for the last three years – which is a requirement under the Cooperative and Community Benefit Societies Act 2014. Audited or unaudited you need to show revenue accounts, balance sheet and have filed annual returns. Following on, have you made a formal approach to the football club owner to take control of the football club? Steve Brown: No, we have written asking for a meeting to discuss certain points. Tim Fisher: Are you sure you did not make a formal offer for the football club? Steve Brown: No we did not. Anyway the letter was confidential. Tim Fisher: No it was not. I understand that the letter that was sent in response from the owner was marked confidential but the Trust’s letter was not marked Private and Confidential. So you have not made a formal approach at all – has anybody on your behalf? Perhaps the Sky Blues Supporters Initiative Ltd – Yes or No? Steve Brown: There has been communication – I am not prepared to answer the question, you know why. Tim Fisher: This is absolutely ridiculous; you represent a company that hasn’t filed accounts for three years and has a ‘couple of thousand pounds’ at the bank and yet makes a formal offer for CCFC? Steve Brown: You’ve seen the letter; there was not a formal offer. It was asking some questions, as you’ve been asking questions yourself. Tim Fisher: For the record and it is really important – you have sent a letter to SISU to offer to take control of the club, have admitted your turnover is but a few thousand pounds, not filed accounts for three years and yet you’re trying to take over a multi- million pound turnover business? Steve Brown: I am not saying that. Tim Fisher: Does your adviser sit on the board of another football club? Steve Brown: I don’t know. Tim Fisher: Let me be crystal clear. If there is any suggestion that the Sky Blue Trust has agitated and created supporter concern in the club and therefore prejudiced the current shareholder position then you need to be very careful, especially if you have made a formal approach to take over the shareholder position. I quietly worry for the directors and officers of Sky Blue Initiative Ltd. The behaviour is reckless. Do you think it is appropriate, Steve, to stay in the meeting? I think it is improper that you be here because you are undermining the football club in terms of the management and the shareholder. Further, in terms of how the SCG is run, you openly criticised the framework of the SCG and the people who sit on it. Why are you sat in this seat? Steve Brown: I am here as an individual as per most of the SCG and rightly pointed out by the Chair on previous minutes. I heard what you said and the wording of the letter makes me think you shouldn’t have read it and I shouldn’t say anything. Tim Fisher: My concern is your behaviour around the football club – I don’t think what you’re doing is particularly helpful and I wonder if it is self-serving. Two further important points: 1) I do not want any more Sky Blue Trust approaches to ex colleagues of the club asking for confidential financial information. 2) Can I ask you to think of the EFL rules? They are clear on people being involved in one football club making an approach to another club. It is ethically inappropriate and you are putting the Football Club at risk with your behaviour. Take stock of ethical business practices, I suggest you read EFL regulation 100.2. All this is undermining the club. It is the first time in years and years that we are making a profit. Last year we lost £1.1m, this year before interest and tax we were up making a profit of £700,000. Steve Brown: Yes, but before tax? Tim Fisher: Steve, we have that many losses it will be years before we pay tax on profit. But to be clear, being profitable doesn’t detract from the fact that the business model is not great. I’m not happy we have to sell footballers, the current model concerns me, but we keep moving forward. The whole idea that you agitate and move negatively around the club is not good. Think about the football club, Steve. Steve Brown: Solicitors may have contacted the owners. Is that anything to do with you? You have made it clear Sisu and the football club are very different.

http://www.bucksherald.co.uk/news/cycle-challenge-for-mercy-ships-1-7632249

A 76-year old volunteer from Princes Risborough has completed his eighth fundraising challenge for the international charity Mercy Ships, taking cash raised so far to £60,000. Ken Brazier cycled to Santiago de Compostela in north west Spain to help raise awareness and funds for charity which operates the world’s largest civilian hospital ship providing free healthcare to those living in developing countries, namely in Africa. Ken and his wife June have been volunteer speakers for Mercy Ships UK since first hearing about the charity’s work during a presentation given to the Princes Risborough Rotary Club in 2003, and together they have now given more than 500 talks. Ken decided to take things one step further in 2007 when he conquered a sponsored climb of Mount Kilimanjaro aged 67 and later decided to set himself the challenge of cycling as much of the Santiago de Compostela trails as possible, despite being diagnosed with osteo arthritis shortly before his first trip. Ken said: “I initially intended to walk one of the pilgrimage routes to Santiago de Compostela but when this became impossible I simply altered my mode of travel to bike. I thoroughly enjoyed the first trip and after discovering the addictive nature of the routes I’ve returned every year for the last eight years to complete new segments and I’ve completed around 2,000km in total. “The cycling pilgrimages have been very successful, raising a further £44,000 for Mercy Ships. My next fundraising project will be a little closer to home. Next year I shall be cycling down from Loosley Row in Buckinghamshire to Lymington on the South Coast of England, taking the ferry to the Isle of Wight and then doing a complete circuit of the island. “I’ve been astonished by the donations received over the last nine years but Mercy Ships is a very deserving cause which is helping so many of the world’s poor by offering free medical treatment and support. I will be 77 years old by next year but I know I’ve got plenty more miles left in my legs yet!” Mercy Ships is currently docked in the port of Cotonou, in Benin, for a ten-month field service during which time the ships team of medical volunteers are expected to perform 1,700 life-changing surgeries on board and treat more than 8,000 people at a land-based dental clinic. Lea Milligan, Executive Director of Mercy Ships UK, said: “Our volunteers are the lifeblood of Mercy Ships and allow us to provide free medical services to the poorest of the poor. Mercy Ships is only able to exist and to carry out its mission thanks to volunteers such as Ken and June Brazier. “Ken’s fundraising efforts have been unbelievable and the generosity of his friends, family and supporters in their donations is having a direct impact upon hundreds of people’s lives in Africa right now. “Benin, where the Africa Mercy is currently docked, is considered to be one of the poorest countries in the world, ranking at 166 out of 187 counties according to the United Nations Humanitarian Development Index. This is the fifth visit by a Mercy Ship to Benin and as well as delivering direct surgical services Mercy Ships will play a key role in delivering education programmes for local health workers to help create a sustainable legacy for the Beninese people.” Visit www.mercyships.org.uk

JAMES ARTHUR has fought tirelessly to get himself back to the top of the music business but he could be about to get knocked off by The Script. The Irish band are reportedly considering legal action against the singer, over claims his No. 1 single Say You Won't Let Go is ripping off The Script hit The Man Who Can't Be Moved. But The Script claim he is breaching the copyright of their 2008 hit which reached No. 2 in the charts. Here, we've compared the two songs and you can check out the similarities in our player above.

5 Best Fall Beers (That Aren't Pumpkin) in Metro Phoenix Nowadays, fall seasonal beers often invoke images of pumpkins, spice, and other nontraditional brewing ingredients. And while this may be all the rage today, it was not always this way. In fact, for almost 200 years, traditional lagers known as Marzens (a.k.a. Oktoberfests) were the sure sign of fall. German brewers made traditional lagers in March and would store them all summer long in caves to keep them cold. This aging, or "lagering," helped the beer's flavors improve. German residents would celebrate these beers at their annual Oktoberfest celebrations. The words "Oktoberfest" or "Marzen" are often used to describe these delicious fall lagers — "Marzen" being the German word for March, when the beers were brewed. For much of this beer style's history, these beers tended to be on the darker side (deep amber to copper color), with a lot of delicious malt flavor produced by the Munich and Vienna malts used to create these beers. In modern times, the trend has become to produce lighter-style beers, closer to the traditional Helles style ("helles" is the German word for light) that appear gold in color and are still flavorful, but lighter on the palate than the traditional examples. Beers of this style have a dominant flavor and aroma characteristic known as "melanoidins." What that means to the average beer-drinking consumer is that as the malts used in the beer are kilned (baked) to get their color and flavor profile. They then create flavors that hint at both fruit and toasted bread, but aren't quite definitively either. In other words, if you have an Oktoberfest beer, you may taste flavors that remind you of toasted bread and fruit, depending on the brewer's use of malts in their interpretation of the beer. So, call it a Marzen, a Festbier, or an Oktoberfest. It's up to you. But no matter which you choose or which side of town you frequent, get out and enjoy this traditional, delicious fall classic while it is still available at these local breweries. Dark Munich Lager Helton Brewing Company ABV: 6.2% This clear, dark copper, malt-forward masterpiece is a wonderful showcase of malt's melanoidins. Munich malt can be used as a base malt or as a character malt to add complexity, but brewer Brian Helton goes all in by using Munich as 50 percent of the grain bill in this dark lager. The flavors are beautifully developed, the beer is perfectly clean, and it redefines the word "refreshing" when you're looking for the perfect beer on a fall afternoon. The hops are subtle in this beer, as it's intended to be all about the malt. Tahelenbak Helles Lager Saddle Mountain Brewing Company, Goodyear ABV: 5.5% This deep gold, very clear lager is one of two fall seasonal lagers offered by Saddle Mountain Brewery in Goodyear. This beer is full of flavor yet lighter and a little more subtle than a traditional Marzen. Though a little high for a Helles, the body, color, and flavor profile is completely in range for a modern-day Oktoberfest, of which Tahelenbak is a great example. A nice balance of character malts used to craft this beer helps to achieve a rounded, pleasant flavor profile. Some hop aroma and flavor is present, but light, melanoidin malt flavors are pronounced. North Mountain Brewing Company ABV: 6.6% Fruit notes including fig, golden raisins, and apricot blend with toasted Italian bread crust aromas in this Oktoberfest brew from Phoenix's North Mountain Brewing Company. The flavors are pronounced and forward, probably more so than the other beers in this list, with a sweetness lingering in the back of the palate into the finish. The nontraditional sweetness likely comes from the ramped-up alcohol content — because at 6.6% ABV, this brew is at least a full point above the traditional Marzen range. Go big or go home, right? Oktoberfest Lager Peoria Artisan Brewery, Litchfield Park ABV: 5.0%  With this beer, Peoria Artisan Brewery has created a traditional Oktoberfest, rich in flavor with a refreshing, semi-dry finish. True to the traditional Marzen style in color and flavor, the aromas (mostly toasted malt) are very subtle, with no perceptible hops. Despite the overall lack of aroma, everything is amped up in the flavor highlighted by the traditional toasted malt character along with some floral hop flavor for balance. Doc's Marzen Pedal Haus Brewery, Tempe ABV: 5.2% Clear copper in color, with an off-white head that persists on the sides of the glass, this beer produces aromas of plum and other dark fruits as well as rum-like aromas. A medium body with medium carbonation, Doc Marzen is actually "gluten reduced," which might make it more appealing to those looking to reduce their gluten intake. The beer produces a malt-forward presentation with flavors of Vienna bread crust and the fruit with some nutty flavors, finishing crisp. Sponsor Content

RANGERS boss Mark Warburton insists he has no security concerns ahead of his side's first visit to Hampden since May's trouble-hit William Hill Scottish Cup final. Rangers will make their return to the National Stadium when they take on Celtic in Sunday's Betfred Cup semi-final. Their last Hampden clash ended in chaos when thousands of Hibernian fans flooded on to the pitch to celebrate a dramatic 3-2 victory as they claimed their first Scottish Cup triumph in 114 years. But the Ibrox outfit say a number of their players and officials were targeted with abuse by sections of the celebrating Easter Road faithful. Clashes also broke out on the playing surface when a number of Rangers fans leapt from the stands to confront a section of the Hibs support who took the pitch invasion as an opportunity to taunt their rivals. Rangers last month issued a statement demanding the Scottish Football Association take action to ensure there is no repeat of the disorder, adding: "It should be understood Rangers will not tolerate any of their employees being attacked with impunity." But Warburton, speaking at his pre-match media conference, insists his side are not worried about those ugly scenes being played out again. "It wouldn't even enter our minds at all," said the Englishman. "People way above our pay grade will deal with that aspect. "From our point of view, no [it is not a concern]. It's a fantastic stadium, it's a great atmosphere, the playing surface I'm sure is in great condition and we're looking forward to it. "

A Castle Douglas pensioner has raised more than £4,000 for charity by swimming 200 lengths of the town’s pool. James Robertson says he just woke up one morning and decided to “do a good deed”. The 75-year-old raised the cash for Cancer Research UK and handed over the cheque at his recent birthday celebrations. He said: “I wanted to do something good before I turned 75. I just came up with the idea one morning. “I always enjoy a social swim on a Friday night at the pool where most of the time not much swimming happens! “So I began in August and carried on through September, doing 200 lengths. I had hoped to raise £1,500 so £4,200 is amazing and the door isn’t shut yet!” Last Friday, at his party, a cheque for £3,500 was handed to Christine Irving of the local committee and her colleague Liz McCrae. The rest of the cash will be handed over when it is collected. James, the general manager at Livestock manufacturers Rancher Ltd, hasn’t come up with an idea for next year’s fundraiser but he is planning to raise more cash for the charity. Any late sponsor forms or donations can be handed in at Ranchers, 1-2 Carlingwark Street.

The Highs and Lows of Phoenix Fashion Week 2016 The ninth annual Phoenix Fashion Week graced the pool-adjacent runway at Talking Stick Resort from October 13 through 15, bringing local and international designers to the Valley and showcasing everything from birdlike showgirl costumes and icicle jumpsuits to the botanically inspired collection of a FIDM student and graphic dresses by a Phoenix-based Native American designer. It was, in so many words, a lot. Here's a look back at the highs and lows from Phoenix Fashion Week 2016. High: Alexis Hamilton Yeah, we're fangirls. So what? The 2011 model of the year has the walk to end all walks. And damn if some of her fellow models couldn't use a lesson or seven from her. (Which, heads up, is a thing she totally does.)  Low: Opening Night One, two, count 'em, three T-shirt presentations. Come on now.  High-ish: Community Designers This is a project that needs some intense fine-tuning, but it was nice to see 11 locals have the opportunity to show their creations on Thursday night. Some of it was ... bad. But it's good to see Fashion Week changing up the formula. Low: Still with the Scoring Why can't we know how the emerging designers scoring works? Each night, one emerging designer of the year was announced. But the crowd gets zero insight into how they fared during boot camp, how much things like web presence and audience response are factored in, and who comes in second, third, and fourth place. Give us graphics on the big screen — reality-TV-competition style — or stop talking about the scores. Please.  High: Aconav While the collection wasn't perfect, it was exciting to see a strong showing from a local Native American designer. We want more from Loren Aragon.  Read on for the most upsetting micro-trend we saw — and designers who topped three-peats. Sponsor Content

http://www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/sport/football/hibs/hibs-appeal-marvin-bartley-red-card-against-raith-1-4260678

Hibs are contesting the red card shown to midfielder Marvin Bartley in Saturday’s 0-0 draw against Raith Rovers. The 30-year-old was sent off by referee Stephen Finnie after tangling with Raith winger Bobby Barr. Onlookers at the time deemed the dismissal to be harsh – Hibs head coach Neil Lennon said he was gobsmacked – and post-match video footage suggests that Finnie’s decision was dubious. Moreover, Hibs were given a free-kick after the incident despite Bartley being sent off. Hibs have reviewed the case and decided they have grounds for lodging an appeal. Bartley was red-carded last month against Ayr and the Easter Road club successfully overturned the decision, with the SFA downgrading the ordering off to a caution. Bartley himself expressed dismay at the red card at Stark’s Park, taking to Twitter to vent his feelings and make light of the decision. If the appeal is successful, Bartley will be available for Hibs’ next match, a trip to East End Park to take on Dunfermline on Saturday.

Coventry City could be allowed to play matches outside of its home city again if a long-term stadium solution cannot be found, the Football League has confirmed. Coventry City chairman Tim Fisher insists they do not want to move out of Coventry again, but the Football League’s stance will do little to reassure fans worried that there could be a repeat of the Sixfields fiasco which saw the Sky Blues play ‘home’ matches 35 miles away in Northampton for more than a season. Coventry North East MP Colleen Fletcher met with the Football League in a bid to get some clarity over the situation. She demanded the meeting after the organisation had previously ducked questions from the Telegraph over the club’s future. The club’s Ricoh Arena agreement is due to expire at the end of next season and talks about an extension have been halted. Stadium landlords Wasps pulled out of talks earlier this year citing the ‘distraction’ of ongoing legal action from CCFC’s owners Sisu in relation to the Ricoh Arena. However, Mr Fisher recently told fans he believes Wasps would agree to another short-term deal rather than force them to take the club out of the city for a second time. But the chairman also said plans for a possible ground share with Coventry Rugby Club at Butts Park could not progress at the current time. He added: “We are not looking to move the club out of the city. When we reviewed Butts Park as a potential solution, we recognised it was in Coventry and every time I talked about opportunities outside of the city people said it should be Coventry City in Coventry. “However, we will do what we have to do to preserve CCFC. We do not want to move out.” Mrs Fletcher was due to meet with Football League chief executive Shaun Harvey in London on Thursday last week. But it is understood he failed to attend, leaving Mrs Fletcher to meet with two of the Football League’s communications team. The Football League provided a written reply in response to Mrs Fletcher’s questions, which has been shown to the Telegraph exclusively and broken down below. What Colleen Fletcher said: “I am pleased that I was afforded the opportunity to meet with representatives from the English Football League (EFL) to discuss the situation at Coventry City. “During the meeting I raised with the EFL my concerns over the uncertain future of and the ongoing saga at the football club. I also made them aware of the significant despair felt by Sky Blues fans in relation to the club’s situation both on and off the field, and their understandable desire for reassurance surrounding where the club will play its home games in the foreseeable future. “Whilst the meeting with the EFL allowed for the free and frank exchange of views, I regret that it did not completely address my concerns nor did it offer the reassurance sought by the fans. “The EFL was unwilling to discuss the specifics of any plans the club may have for securing its long-term future in Coventry - citing reasons of confidentiality – and refused to rule out the possibility of the club being allowed to leave its home city again in the future on a temporary basis. “The continued lack of certainty surrounding the club’s long-term stadium needs is of great concern to the fans and the wider local community in Coventry. “They deserve answers on this issue and I will continue to do all that I can to ensure these answers are forthcoming.” Question: Can you offer assurances that the EFL will not, under any circumstances, allow Coventry City Football Club to relocate again, even on a temporary basis, away from the city of Coventry? If the EFL is unable to provide those assurances, can you outline under what circumstances you would allow the club to relocate away from its home city? Football League response: With regard to the issue of ground re-location the board will always consider any application to re-locate on a temporary basis by any of our 72 member clubs on its merits and in accordance with our regulations. Generally, though, it will ask itself whether it is in the long term interests of the club. Many EFL clubs do not own their own ground and there are a limited number of stadia in which clubs can stage professional football matches. Therefore, if the EFL Board, as a general policy, refuses permission for clubs to relocate when they are unable to reach agreement with their landlord, it will seriously undermine the ability of football clubs to negotiate a fair rent. In such circumstances the landlord would always hold the whip hand in any negotiation because they would know that the club had no choice but to agree the terms offered. This would cause great financial harm to professional football clubs in England and Wales. For example, in 2008 the board gave Rotherham United permission to play their matches in Sheffield while the club built a new stadium in Rotherham. This eventually had a successful outcome with the club moving to the New York Stadium in 2012 where it has since thrived. Question: Would the EFL ever seek to force one its members into a resolution in terms of its long-term stadium needs? If so, what rules and sanctions are available to the EFL that would allow for the implementation of such enforcement action? Football League response: Under EFL regulations, clubs are required to play in the towns and cities from which they take their name or the area from which they are traditionally associated, subject to any dispensations that might be granted on a temporary basis by the EFL Board. Therefore, in generic terms, the onus is always on clubs to comply with the regulations or the specific requirements of the EFL board. Failure to comply with the regulations can lead to disciplinary action with a full range of sanctions being at the EFL’s disposal. It is not for the EFL to “force” a club to comply with the rules as suggested in one of your questions, but the need to adhere will ultimately have a similar effect. Question: Have the owners of CCFC presented any tangible plans to the EFL which show they are in a position to resolve their long-term stadium needs satisfactorily prior to the end of the 2017/18 season? The EFL says it is in regular dialogue with the owners of CCFC regarding its long-term stadium needs. What role is the EFL currently playing in the process of finding a solution to this situation? Football League response: The EFL understands that Coventry City are currently seeking to find a long term stadium solution that will enable the Sky Blues to generate revenue on a comparable basis to other EFL clubs. We remain in regular dialogue with the club about this matter. While Coventry City are well aware of the EFL’s requirements, the precise nature of discussions with one of our member clubs must remain private and confidential. Question: Have the EFL given CCFC’s owners a deadline by which they must find a long-term stadium solution? If so, when is that deadline and what action do the EFL plan to take should that deadline not be met? If not, do the EFL intend to impose such a deadline and at what stage in the process? Football League response: We can confirm that the EFL has not set the club a deadline as we believe that would be unhelpful at this point in time and would not in the best interests of Coventry City or the club’s supporters. Were any such deadline to become public knowledge, any third parties with whom the club is negotiating could simply refuse to enter into reasonable discussions knowing the club had little choice but to agree to their terms at that future point. That said, the patience of the EFL Board will not be limitless with regard to this matter and the club understands this. Question: Has the EFL been asked to or have they offered to mediate in relation to any proposed negotiations surrounding a ground share agreement? Football League response: Finally, you asked whether we would be prepared to mediate in this matter, as indeed we did during the summer of 2015 in order to get the club back to Coventry from Northampton. We are always happy to play any role that might be useful in terms of securing the Sky Blues’ long term future in the City of Coventry but would first take guidance from the club on whether it felt our involvement was likely to be helpful.

El presidente de la jurisdicción municipal justifica los hechos al decir que la ciudad no tiene recursos para tomar otras medidas. EL INFORMADOR / ARCHIVO Más de mil caninos son sacrificados tras ola de denuncias de supuestos ataques a mujeres y niños KARACHI, PAKISTÁN (19/OCT/2016).- Más de mil perros callejeros fueron envenenados por empleados de la municipalidad de Karachi, después de una ola de críticas y de denuncias de que los canes habían mordido a mujeres y niños, informó este miércoles un funcionario. Un total de mil 50perros fueron sacrificados en la primera fase de la operación, que tiene previsto matar a otros dos mil perros. Rehan Hashmi, presidente de la jurisdicción municipal, dijo que las autoridades han recibido una ola de críticas de que los perros muerden a la gente y defendió el programa de exterminación de los canes, ya que la ciudad carece de recursos. "Si hubiera algún otro recurso u opción, me hubiera encantado poder hacerlo", dijo Hashmi, quien agregó: "después de todo son seres vivientes". En Pakistán el tema de los derechos de los animales no está presente en el debate público, pero de a poco surgen grupos de veterinarios y activistas que buscan encontrar un equilibrio para conciliar la vida de los canes con los miedos de la población, que en muchos casos los considera como impuros, en base a creencias religiosas. Algunas estadísticas estiman que en Karachi podría hacer hasta 35 mil perros callejeros y cada año se denuncian cerca de 15 mil ataques a humanos, aseguró Isma Gheewala, del Centro de Atención a los Animales. HONG KONG, CHINA (16/OCT/2016).- El oso panda en cautividad más longevo del mundo, ''Jia Jia'', murió en un parque de atracciones. La panda hembra tenía 38 años, el equivalente a 114 años para un ser humano.

The 50th anniversary of the Aberfan disaster should be marked by a nationwide moment of silence, Theresa May has said. The mining village in South Wales was hit by an avalanche of coal waste on October 21 1966, claiming the lives of 116 children and 28 adults. Gerald Jones, Labour MP for Merthyr Tydfil and Rhymney, asked Mrs May if she agreed that the nation should join members of his constituency to mark the tragedy on Friday. Speaking during Prime Minister's Questions, he said: "On Friday morning at 9.15am, the anniversary of the disaster, the people in the community along with communities across Wales will mark that disaster with a minute's silence. "Could I ask the Prime Minister whether she will support that moment of silence being marked, as the disaster affected communities right across the country if not the world, that that moment of silence be marked across the UK as well?" Mrs May said what happened at Aberfan was a "terrible tragedy" as she agreed the nation should mark the occasion and remember those who died. She said: "I know that the Secretary of State for Wales (Alun Cairns) will be attending the particular memorial that will be taking place in your constituency on Friday. "I think it is appropriate that we all mark and show our respect for those who lost their lives and the families who suffered as a result of the Aberfan tragedy that took place those 50 years ago."

http://www.manilatimes.net/kris-aquinos-apt-transfer-hangs-balance/291716/

Mother-son’s substance abuse; celebrity in absentia battling the Big C Kris Aquino is back in harness, this even if she has yet to resurface via her next much-vaunted project on TV. Making her presence strongly felt, Kris made herself accessible to the press at an endorsement event, digging up old, trite issues she could have brushed aside in favor of more current, juicier ones, like her transfer to APT Entertainment and their plans for her. But now—she’s not allowed to talk about that subject, apparently. So are we to surmise that Kris—who admitted sorely missing her co-workers in ABS-CBN—is chickening out of the deal? More so after the network’s former President and CEO Charo Santos-Concio, on a separate occasion, was quoted to have said that the network will welcome her back should she decide to return? Or is Mr. Tony Tuviera backing out? (APT’s odd silence leaves a room for doubt, huh!). Meanwhile, Kris couldn’t help but make a re-issue out of her former husband James Yap’s siring another child with Michela Cazzola. Deliberately taking a trip abroad with son Bimby on the day Michela was scheduled to deliver her baby, Kris took offense at James’ failure to inform their child about having a baby brother. For all Kris knew, James—in all his rejected bonding invitations to Bimby between August and September this year—was poised to bare all. In the absence of James, however, could Kris have not pulled the act in a manner that the nine-year-old bright, smart kid would understand? Still at that endorsement event, Vignettes barely rhyme or reason for Kris opening old wounds as to her failed marriage to James. Supposedly letting sleeping dogs lie, Kris didn’t seem to have bounced back after their separation some five years ago. Admittedly consumed by fear of “being alone” back then, Kris told the press, “I thought it was the end of the road for me as far as loving is concerned.” Of course, the public knows to whom Kris was being linked to after James, proof that she was traversing the proverbial long and winding road. Beaming with smile, she then clarified her rekindled friendship with Quezon City Mayor Herbert Bautista, “Wala itong habulan, ha? (There’s no chase).” Why, who was then running after whom? * * * GUESS WHO? Drug dependency chooses no age. A former matinee idol resented her aging mom getting hooked on drugs, as he couldn’t neither take how she brings home male friends for pot sessions. Scattered pairs of men’s shoes are a familiar sight to the actor every time he’d go in his mom’s bedroom. Once and for all, the actor hatched a clever idea to stop his mother from doing drugs: he chose to try it himself, and proved to be even worse than his mom who eventually gave up on the vice. * * * If this celebrity couple chooses to remain silent these days, it’s because the woman—older than her partner—is going through tough times. Early this year, she was diagnosed of breast cancer which came as a big surprise to close friends who’ve known her to practice clean, healthy living. To prevent the disease from spreading, she’s reportedly flying in and out of the country for her chemotherapy. Her precarious condition though wouldn’t stop her from missing out on certain important family occasions. Just recently, she showed up at her closest kin’s wedding however wearing a hairpiece. Clueless motorists and commuters alike who happen to pass by a major thoroughfare in Metro Manila with her imposing billboard won’t probably believe that she’s waging a battle against the Big C. Vignettes sincerely hopes for her speedy recovery.

A young man needed facial surgery after he was assaulted while he walked along Bicester Road with his girlfriend. At around 10.30pm on Tuesday 20 September 2016, a man in his twenties was walking with his girlfriend, along near to the Aylesbury Volkswagen garage. A green and black sports style motorcycle with two men riding on it then stopped, and the men called to the victim, who stopped to talk to them believing they might need directions. The rider of the motorbike became abusive and then hit the victim causing him facial injuries that required surgery. The rider of the motorbike is Asian, around 20-years-old, wearing a red jacket, and carrying a black and green motorcycle helmet. The passenger is described as white, 5ft 6ins, with long black hair, and wearing a grey crash helmet. Investigating Officer, PC Phillip King based at Aylesbury Police station, said: “We are appealing for anyone who may have witnessed this assault to come forward. “If anyone recognises these men from the description or has seen a motorbike matching the description then please do call. “If you have any information about the incident please call the 24-hour Thames Valley Police enquiry centre on 101.” If you do not want to speak directly to the police you can contact the independent charity Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111. No personal details are taken, information is not traced or recorded and you will not go to court.

http://www.yorkshirepost.co.uk/news/crime/a-decade-after-police-did-nothing-eight-men-found-guilty-over-catalogue-of-child-sex-offences-in-rotherham-1-8185702

Eight men, including two brothers and two of their cousins, have been found guilty of all 19 counts against them of sexually abusing three teenage girls in Rotherham more than a decade ago. The verdicts follow a trial that began in mid-September and 18 hours of jury deliberations, over offences that took place between 1999 and 2003. The men were found guilty of charges of rape, indecent assault and false imprisonment. They were remanded in custody and will be sentenced on November 4. The court heard details of how the central complainant in the case had reported her abuse to police on two occasions when she was just 13 years old in 2003 - but no action was ever taken. Her family also wrote to then Home Secretary David Blunkett to highlight what they said was happening to her at the hands of a group of Asian males. The central complainant in the case, who is now 27, had first reported allegations of abuse to the police on two occasions in April and October 2003. In April 2003, the girl, who cannot be named, made an allegation she had been repeatedly raped by defendant Sageer Hussain, who she said had also physically attacked her. Prosecutor Michelle Colborne QC said at the opening of the case that the girl later asked for the case to be dropped. She said her clothing seized at the time was lost and no scientific examination ever conducted. Ms Colborne said the girl made further disclosures to the police in October 2003 about other men involved her alleged abuse - but the case did not proceed after her family were subjected to threats. “The girl and her family were being subjected to threats and intimidation by those men and were very frightened,” she said. “They sought help from social services and the police. “They wrote to their Member of Parliament and the Home Secretary.” She said the family eventually moved from South Yorkshire to Spain to get away from the men who were exploiting her. The court heard how she later worked with victims of sexual exploitation and wrote a book about the subject, as well as appearing in a TV documentary. Ms Colborne said the now-adult woman contacted police again in September 2013 to tell them the accounts she had given 10 years before were true. She said the case involves allegations of child sexual exploitation said to have occurred 13 years ago in the Rotherham area. She said girls were ‘targeted, sexualised and in some instances subjected to attacks of a degrading and violent nature at the hands of these men’. “These were local girls - some had perfectly normal lives but were lured by the excitement and friendship of older Asian males.” She said the prosecution allege Sageer Hussain played a key role in ‘befriending young girls who were flattered that he and his friends wanted to spend time with them’. Ms Colborne said that in the case of the central complainant, Hussain ‘used her for his own gratification and passed her to friends, older brothers and associates’. Among the other defendants were two of his cousins - Mohammed Whied and Asif Ali - as well as his older brother Basharat Hussain. Ms Colborne added: “In the space of months, she had gone from being a normal happy child from a stable supportive family to one who was secretive and distant. “Her mother watched her daughter change from a loving, lovely girl to one she describes as horrible and she was powerless to control it.” Ms Colborne said the girl moved into a ‘life of deceit and fear’ after being ‘lured into that life’. She said: “They told her she owed them something because they had given her cigarettes, alcohol and cannabis. “As time moved on, the threats became nasty in nature. They threatened to gang-rape her mother and they made it clear they were serious.” She said that on one occasion, two of the defendants - Masoued Malik and Naeem Rafiq - took her to the flat of a man described by the girl as a ‘Kosovan refugee’ called Zalgai Ahmadi where she was forced to perform sex acts on a number of men. Other incidents occured in an alleyway by Boots in Rotherham town centre and at Clifton Park. Sageer Hussain, 30, of Clough Road, Rotherham, was found guilty of four rapes and one indecent assault. Mohammed Whied, 32, of Psalters Lane, Rotherham, was convicted of aiding and abetting rape. Ishtiaq Khaliq, 33, of Carlisle Road, Rotherham, was convicted of one rape and three indecent assaults. Waleed Ali, 34, of Canklow Road, Rotherham, was convicted of one rape and one indecent assault. Asif Ali, 30, of Clough Road, Rotherham, was found guilty of rape. Masoued Malik, 32, of Bridgewater Way, Rotherham, was found guilty of rape, conspiracy to commit indecent assault and false imprisonment. Basharat Hussain, 40, from Goole, was convicted of indecent assault. Naeem Rafiq, 33, of Clarenden Road, Rotherham, was convicted of one count of conspiracy to commit indecent assault and one of false imprisonment. Following the verdicts, Sarah Champion, MP for Rotherham, said: “I would firstly like to state my absolute admiration and thanks to the survivors for coming forward. “These young women have been trying for years to be heard, now a judge, and indeed the country, has heard the horror you endured and justice has been served. Their courage and bravery will inspire others and we should all be grateful for that.”

A driver is on the run after crashing into a fence while being chased by police. Officers attending a different incident in Orrell spotted a white Ford Focus travelling at speed and turned around to pursue the vehicle which made off at speed. The chase ended when the van crashed into a fence on Upholland Road in Billinge at around 3am on Sunday morning. The van ended up on its roof and the fire service were called to help free a teenage boy who was trapped in the back of the vehicle. GMP confimred that the driver left the scene, while the trapped youngster, believed to be aged 17, and another passenger were both taken to hospital with minor injuries. A fire service spokesman said: “The car had been involved in a police chase and ended up on its roof. The passenger in the back hadn’t been wearing a seat belt so he had been thrown about a bit. “It took about 20 minutes for us to get him out and we had to cut the back seat out before we managed to get him out the back door. He was about 17 years old. “The driver had done a runner and the other passenger seemed ok.” Anyone with any information about the collision, or the driver of the car, should call police on 101.

http://www.sussexexpress.co.uk/news/have-you-spotted-the-rare-lemon-slug-in-sussex-1-7632988

People across Sussex are being asked to keep an eye out for the Lemon Slug. The Lemon Slug (Malacolimax tenellus) is a rare mollusc species, vibrant yellow in colour with dark tentacles. There are a number of historical records of the Lemon Slug from Sussex, but we need more up to date information It is usually up to about 4cm in length and feeds on mushrooms, so is often seen on or near wild mushrooms. This means that October and November can be a particularly good time to spot it. The Lemon Slug is thought to survive in the remaining fragments of ancient woodland in England, and is likely to have declined with the deforestation of the country over the last few centuries. However, the true distribution of the Lemon Slug remains a mystery. The slugs are thought only to emerge as adults and feed in the open for a few weeks a year. This makes it very difficult to collect data on this elusive species. To make matters worse, very few people have ever heard of the Lemon Slug, and even less know what it looks like and know how to submit records if they see it. To try to understand more about where this species survives and what it’s habitat requirements are, the Species Recovery Trust is trying to encourage more people to go out and look for the slug. The Species Recovery Trust is a conservation charity that aims to protect the rarest species in the country, even if they are not the prettiest or most popular creatures! A spokesperson from the Trust said: “There are a number of historical records of the Lemon Slug from Sussex, but we need more up to date information to know if the species still survives there. “So if you spot a bright yellow slug please record the location, take a photo if possible, and above all, please let us know (email charlotte.carne@speciesrecoverytrust.org.uk). Dominic Price, Director of the Species Recovery Trust, said: “It’s really important for the future of rare species that we know more about where they survive. The more people out there looking for the Lemon Slug, the greater the chance we have to protect it.”

http://www.worksopguardian.co.uk/whats-on/arts/review-bear-grylls-endeavour-1-8185769

As a former boy scout, I have been a big fan of Bear Grylls since he burst onto our TV screens with his thrilling adventure shows, writes Daniel Bailey. So I was intrigued to find out how the 42-year-old legendary survivor could entertain during a one-man stage show in the confines of a packed-out Nottingham Arena. Out of his comfort zone again, I thought. But nothing seems to phase the man as he proved that translating a TV show in front of a live audience can be done - and in style. For two hours, he cleverly transformed the stage into some of the most extreme and dangerous landscapes in the world, taking the audience on an interactive expedition across the globe. But Bear Grylls’ Endeavour is not all about Bear – it’s the man himself captivating us with some incredible stories about the world’s greatest survivors and how they prevailed in the most life-threatening situations. He shows us what incredible risks are at stake while taking on nature’s biggest challenges, such as trekking through Antarctica, climbing Everest, travelling into space and surviving in the Amazon jungle. Using a mixture of acrobatics, educational knowledge and special effects, the show seems to be more aimed at children, but with his supreme confidence and personable character, Bear delivers it with a feelgood factor. He spends most of the show suspended on wires high above the arena, but Bear is at his best when interacting with the crowd, especially when volunteers were welcomed on stage to help light fires and pitch tents. It was an interesting blend of theatre and television close up while making you feel like you were rubbing shoulders with one of the planet’s best-known adrenaline junkies. There are some gory photographs, which brought a few winces and gasps from the arena, but on the whole, if you love to explore, you would enjoy this show. On leaving the arena, it was difficult not to be inspired by Bear and the human race, and its ability to achieve anything by using the power of the heart and mind.

Writen by ΣΤΟΧΟΣ 4:36 μ.μ. - 0 Comments Εντοπίστηκε στην Αργυρούπολη η 13χρονη Ζωή Μπουραντά που τις τελευταίως ώρες θεωρούνταν εξαφανισμένη. Για να βρεθεί η νεαρή μαθήτρια η οικογένειά της είχε ζητήσει να εκδοθεί ειδοποίηση Amber alert. Σύμφωνα μεπληροφορίες, αυτή την ώρα οιγονείς της 13χρονης Ζωής μεταβαίνουν στην Αργυρούπολη για να συναντηθούν με την μικρή τους κόρη η οποία βρέθηκε από αστυνομικές δυνάμεις. Το χρονικό της εξαφάνισης Η Ζωή Μπουραντά εξαφανίστηκε το απόγευμα της Κυριακής από την περιοχή της Πετρούπολης. Πληροφορίες αναφέρουν ότι το πρωί της Δευτέρας η αστυνομία εντόπισε το κινητό της τηλέφωνο πεταμένο σε κάποιο δρόμο στο Μοναστηράκι. Ανάστατοι είναι από εχθές το απόγευμα συγγενείς, φίλοι αλλά και η τοπική κοινωνία του Περιστερίου ύστερα από την εξαφάνιση της 13χρονης Ζωής Μπουραντά. Ενός παιδιού που μόνο τα καλύτερα έχουν να πουν γι' αυτό όσοι την γνωρίζουν: «Μας φαίνεται ασύλληπτο. Η οικογένεια της Ζωής είναι μία από τις καλύτερες οικογένειες της περιοχής, ιδιοκτήτες ενός από τους πιο γνωστούς παιδικούς σταθμούς. Η Ζωή, το πρωτότοκο παιδί της οικογένειας Μπουραντά, είναι ένα γλυκύτατο, συνεσταλμένο πλάσμα, μία πολύ καλή μαθήτρια, ένα εξαιρετικό κοριτσάκι», λέει φίλος της οικογένειας και συνεχίζει: «Απ' όσο γνωρίζουμε δεν είχε σχέση με κάποιο αγόρι. Μικρό παιδί ήταν. Γι' αυτό και οι γονείς της φοβούνται το ενδεχόμενο να την παρέσυρε κάποιος μέσα από το facebook. Τρέμουν μήπως η κόρη τους έπεσε θύμα κάποιου και κανείς δεν γνωρίζει τις διαθέσεις του. Η μητέρα της είναι από εχθές το απόγευμα σε οικτρή ψυχολογική κατάσταση, δεν ξέρουμε πώς θα συνέλθει αυτή η γυναίκα. Πριν από λίγο, η αστυνομία εντόπισε το κινητό της τηλέφωνο πεταμένο σε κάποιο δρόμο στο Μοναστηράκι ενώ οι αρχές έχουν πάρει το laptot της το οποίο και εξετάζουν ενδελεχώς με την ελπίδα να βρουν κάποιο στοιχείο ικανό να τους οδηγήσει στον εντοπισμό της Ζωής. Αν μας ακούει, αν μας διαβάζει, την ικετεύουμε να επιστρέψει. Να σκεφτεί τη μάνα της και να γυρίσει πίσω...» Ήταν γύρω στις 5.30 το απόγευμα της περασμένης Κυριακής, 16 Οκτωβρίου, όταν η 13χρονη Ζωή επέστρεψε στο πατρικό της μετά από επίσκεψη στο σπίτι κάποιας φίλης της. Λίγη ώρα αργότερα ζήτησε από τη μητέρα της να πάει μέχρι το περίπτερο για να αγοράσει ένα κρουασάν. Δεν είχαν περάσει πάνω από δέκα λεπτά όταν τηλεφώνησε στη μητέρα της και της είπε: “Μαμά, βρήκα μια φίλη μου στο δρόμο και θα καθυστερήσω λίγο”. Οι ώρες ωστόσο περνούσαν και η Ζωή δεν επέστρεφε. Οι γονείς της, θορυβημένοι από την πολύωρη απουσία της κόρης τους, δήλωσαν λίγο αργότερα την εξαφάνισή της στις αστυνομικές αρχές ενώ σήμανε Amber Alert. Η Ζωή έχει καστανά μαλλιά, καστανά μάτια, ύψος 155 εκ., βάρος 42 κιλά κι όταν εξαφανίστηκε φορούσε μαύρη αθλητική φόρμα και μοβ αθλητικά παπούτσια. protothema loading...

http://www.orlandoweekly.com/Blogs/archives/2016/10/17/documentary-miss-sharon-jones-tracks-soul-singer-through-her-battle-with-cancer-at-enzian-tonight

Anyone who’s seen Sharon Jones live knows the woman isn’t short on strength; she’s a born entertainer who struts across the stage belting out songs that hit the sweet spot between joyous and world-weary. When the 60-year-old soul singer was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in 2013, though, she had to draw on a different kind of strength. Documentary filmmaker Barbara Kopple (Harlan County, USA; Shut Up and Sing) convinced Jones to let her film as she balanced life on stage with life as a cancer patient. The resulting film intersperses electrifying live footage of Jones, once called “too fat, too black, too short and too old” by a record executive, with heartbreakingly intimate moments showing Jones going through chemotherapy, losing her hair, and relying on her faith and love of music to get her through her ordeal. While the film tracks Jones through her eventual remission, the 2015 Toronto International Film Festival premiere of the doc coincided with Jones revealing that her cancer has returned and is now considered Stage Four. With the recent revelation that her Daptone Records labelmate Charles Bradley has been diagnosed with stomach cancer, it’s a dark time for fans of the soul revival that Miss Sharon Jones effectively spearheaded. But as this documentary attests, that music – so rooted in hard times – can ease any burden, if only for a little while.  9:30 p.m. Monday, Oct. 17 | Enzian Theater, 1300 S.

http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/local-news/campaigners-call-improved-street-lighting-9079357

Some women are scared to walk on dark Vale streets at night, say campaigners calling for better street lamps to light up gloomy paths. A lack of effective lighting must be addressed to help more woman feel safe on the street at night, they say. The community is still reeling following two late-night serious sex attacks in just four weeks. A 16-year-old was raped in Balloch and a 49-year-old woman was sexually assaulted in Alexandria. No one has been arrested for the crimes and police enquiries are ongoing. Recently, more than 60 women joined in solidarity with the victims in a Reclaim the Night march in which they stood up for their right to walk free from abuse and assault. Beginning in Main Street, the crowd walked through Stephen Street, Gray Street and Suzannah Street, near to where the first attack took place on August 16. But one concern raised over again was how dark some streets are, including ones with lamps. One woman who attended the march, Louise Robertson, 66, was critical of the lights on Alexandria Main Street. She said: “These lights are just not good enough. How is anyone supposed to walk at night and feel safe with tiny lights like that mounted to the wall? It’s so dark.” Alexandria women’s rights campaigner Lynda McEwan says women have been put off going out at night following the attacks – and feels lighting the streets properly is an important issue. Lynda said: “After the recent attacks, a number of women I have spoken to are not going out walking at night. “Making sure the area is lit up enough for people is important. If an area is lit up well, it takes away the element of fear for people. “There are some areas that aren’t very well lit. "A few people who walked the route during the march raised the issue. There are quite a few places that don’t have adequate lighting throughout the area.” Lynda, from Tullichewan, also criticised comments she claims were made to her by a councillor who said lighting some dark areas would lead people to believe they were safe to walk there. She said: “A councillor said to me that the reason some areas are not lit up is because they don’t want people thinking that areas are safe when they aren’t. “I think that is a load of rubbish. “People aren’t daft, they aren’t just going to walk in areas that are dangerous. “That takes us into the whole argument that we should be able to go where you like without feeling unsafe but unfortunately that just isn’t the case. “If it’s an area that’s quiet but it is well known that people walk there dogs there, it should be lit up adequately. “If it is lit up, whether it is secluded or not, it might deter an attacker from even going there as they know they would be seen.” A spokeswoman from West Dunbartonshire Council said they will visit the location of the attack in Alexandria and determine whether any additional safety measures should be installed. She added: “It’s important all of our residents feel safe in our communities and our public reassurance teams work in partnership with police to help achieve this. “We have recently invested in new LED lighting across West Dunbartonshire which directs light where it is needed most, towards pavement, footpaths and roads, and also provides superior images for CCTV. “We’ve not received any complaints about the lighting in this area but will visit this location this week and consider additional safety measures.” For more local news, click here.

http://www.fleetwoodtoday.co.uk/news/business/local-business/do-you-teach-your-children-about-money-1-7960393

Research has shown that how we manage money around our children is influential on how our children will handle their finances later in life. Children can start learning about money from their early years. It’s important that parents teach their children important money management skills from a young age so that they can make wise financial decisions when they reach adult hood. Last year, the charity Citizens Advice warned that unsecured borrowing is exploding among young adults, which ultimately could leave young people in debt for many years. If our children have a clear understanding of how to manage money from a young age it can hopefully help them avoid debt in the future. Use the guides below to start teaching your children how to handle money: 3-10 years Lesson: How Money Works: Earning & Spending. Teach children the concept of earning and spending to help them understand the difference between wants and needs. How to teach it: Step 1: Offer your children an allowance but to earn it they have to complete a set of household chores. This could be as simple as putting away their toys when they’ve finished with them. Step 2: Let your children spend their allowance on what they wish and allow them to make mistakes in order to learn from the consequences. Lesson: The Importance of Saving Help your children to understand that if there is something they want that costs more than their allowance, they will need to save for it. How to teach it: Step 1: Take your children shopping and show them one lower priced and one higher priced toy. Explain that in order to buy the more expensive item they will have to save their allowance for a few weeks. Step 2: Once you know what your child wants to save for, figure out how many weeks it will take for them to save that amount and make a goal chart. You can represent each week with a box and your child can mark it off once the money from that week’s allowance is saved. 11-16 years Lesson: How to Get More for Your Money Help children to understand that you can get more for your money if you invest it in the right places. How to teach it: Step 1: Teach children to read up on, research and compare products and pricing before buying in order to get the best deal on a product, and to make their money go further. This can apply to opening their first savings account. Step 2: Explain the concept of interest and that when saving more into an investment plan it allows their savings to grow faster. You should describe the different types investment plans to ensure they choose one that best suits their long-term goals. Lesson: How to Budget Finances Learning how to budget will ensure that your children have enough money for the things they need, the things that are important to them, and also help them to avoid debt. How to teach it: Step 1: Give your child three piggy banks; one for spending, one for short-term savings and one for long-term savings. Encourage them to save by giving them non-monetary rewards and praising them on how well they are doing. Step 2: Consider beginning to include them in your own household budget to give them an understanding of how money is distributed. 17-21 years Lesson: How to save for a mortgage 32% of parents want their children to use the savings for a housing deposit, therefore it is important that children understand how a mortgage works. How to teach it: Step 1: Explain that they will need a deposit for a mortgage and investing into something like an ISA has historically produced better returns than saving over the long-term. Help them to understand that savings is the act of putting money away in a safe place with the intention of using the money in the future, whereas investing involves committing money into an investment plan in the hopes of making a financial gain. However, investing involves a greater risk as there is no guarantee that they’ll get all of their money back if investment conditions are poor. Step 2: Help your children to book a holiday with their friends. They will need to put down a deposit and later pay off the whole amount, either in bulk or smaller instalments – similar to a mortgage. Lesson: How credit works To avoid debt, it is important that your children understand credit before ‘fleeing the nest’. How to teach it: Step 1: If your child wants to buy their first car, for example, you can lend your child the money to make the purchase and agree on a fair interest rate. Then, your child could pay off their debt over the following months. Step 2: To help them get used to the terms of credit, suggest that they use a credit card for their petrol only, and that they pay it off at the end of each month. Remind them to budget for this and make them aware of the consequences of not paying it off, e.g. a bad credit rating.

A Strathaven beauty queen made it all the way to Sri Lanka to represent Scotland in a top international pageant. Abigail Gilksten was recently named Miss Intercontinental Scotland 2016 but lost out on the Miss Intercontinental 2016 crown on Sunday which was won by Miss Puerto Rico Heilymar Rosario. However the 23-year-old blonde beauty said this week, being her first international competition and only second ever pageant, she was "exceptionally pleased" at making the top 15 against 70 other contestants in what is South Asia’s biggest beauty pageant. Abigail is an ambassador for Lanarkshire’s St Andrew’s Hospice and has been helping them fundraise towards their £9m refurbishment project. She hosted a ‘Wonderland Tea Party’ at the Scout hall in Strathaven to raise funds. Abigail, who is studying dentistry at Dundee University, said: “St Andrew’s Hospice is a fantastic local charity offering vital care and support to families from across Lanarkshire.” On becoming Miss Intercontinental Scotland, she said: “The swimwear and evening gown sections were particularly challenging for me as I normally run around in trainers and flat shoes, however, the interview round was a bit more natural as I have had many interviews in order to be able to study for my degree. “As part of the pageant, I organised a charity exercise marathon and my Wonderland Tea Party for my chosen charities Over The Wall and the St Andrew’s Hospice Capital Appeal and in total raised £3000.” More on this story in next week's East Kilbride News .

FORMER Hibernian boss Alan Stubbs has been sacked as the boss of Rotherham United after six consecutive league defeats. The English Championship side narrowly avoided relegation last season ad turned to the Easter Road boss who was riding high after winning the Scottish Cup last season. His stay with The Millers has been a tough one - with Stubbs presiding over nine defeats in the league and only one victory. The final straw was Tuesday night's 4-2 defeat against Birmingham City and the Rotherham boss was relieved of his duties following a board meeting. Stubbs had signed Celtic pair Darnell Fisher and Scott Allan on-loan this summer with former Rangers player Kirk Broadfoot also at the club. A club statement read: "Rotherham United have parted company with first team manager Alan Stubbs, assistant manager John Doolan and first team coach Andy Holden with immediate effect. "Following a board meeting this morning it was felt that a change of first team management was needed to give the club the best possible opportunity to preserve our Championship status. "The club would like to place on record our thanks to Alan, John and Andy for their effort and professionalism, and we wish them well for the future. "The board have now started the process of appointing a new first team manager. The club will be making no further comment at this stage."

http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/boy-calais-jungle-who-lily-9079101

A boy from the Calais Jungle who Lily Allen apologised to - 'on behalf of my country' - has arrived in the UK to start a new life. Teenager Shamsher Sherin, 13, reduced the pop star to tears during a BBC TV interview last week - which made headlines when she argued it was the UK's fault he was living alone in the camp. Refugee Shamsher had left Afghanistan around nine months ago for a gruelling six-month trek, mostly by foot, across half the globe to the UK - which came to an abrupt halt in Calais three months ago. He aims to join his father who lives in Birmingham. Allen told the lad: "We've bombed your country, put you in the hands of the Taliban and now put you in danger of risking your life to get into our country. "I apologise on behalf of my country. I'm sorry for what we have put you through." The meeting was intended to highlight the plight of children living without parents in the camp this winter - but her comments provoked a backlash. Many people online were quick to condemn her for blaming Britain for the situation in Calais. Unrepentant 31-year-old Allen posted on Twitter only yesterday: "Isis kill innocent people by the way, they cause horrific pain and destruction across the world, so do we. I'm sorry for that." Meanwhile it has now transpired that young Shamsher has arrived at an immigration centre in Croydon in south London. He travelled there along with 13 other child refugees from the Jungle - all with relatives in the UK - who are being transferred to temporary foster homes. According to The Daily Mail he will reside with those families until social workers have interviewed their British-based relatives - and can guarantee they will be safe to move in with them. There are an estimated 800-1,000 so-called unaccompanied children living in the Jungle - who face an uncertain future when it is destroyed later this month. It was after seeing first-hand the desperate and dismal conditions there, Lily Allen broke down in tears and apologised on behalf of the UK. The pop star visited the make-shift camp and was moved by the extraordinary and harrowing experiences that so many of the residents had been through. But the one encounter which left her particularly emotional was meeting Shamsher - and hearing how he had risked his life jumping between several lorries headed for the UK in order to try and make his way to Britain. The teenager revealed that he had been separated from his father, who lives in Birmingham, and has been staying the Jungle camp for eight weeks. During their encounter, Lily told him how sorry she was that the UK had ruined his life and put him constant danger. She said: "It just seems that at three different intervals in this young boy’s life, the English in particular have put you in danger. "We’ve bombed your country, put you in the hands of the Taliban and now put you in danger of risking your life to get into our country. "I apologise on behalf of my country. I’m sorry for what we have put you through." When she asked the boy why he wants to move the UK, he said: "The Taliban were going to kill me, they were on one side and Daesh were on the other, my father sold land and sent me here." Lily also advised him that he has a legal right to be in the UK and that they have to let him in, to which he replied: "The legal process is very slow, you wait for at least three or four months. It’s too slow. The way I am trying works better." Her strong words landed her in trouble with some people on social media. One person tweeted: "Lily Allen has no right to speak for the UK. Her sense of self-importance is what I've always disliked. Regularly rude and disrespectful." Another wrote: "Don't apologise on my behalf @lilyallen – refugees should be cared for at their point of entry into the EU as the rules dictate." During her time in the camp Lily volunteered in a warehouse where donations come in which are distributed to the 10,000 refugees living at the camp. Allen added: "It would seem to me that there are people who have been driven very far away from what they know and love, stability and comfort. "I don't think anyone would choose to live in the Jungle. No-one would choose that." Allen said she frequently "sits next to millionaires at dinner", and that she would like to be able to ask them to "put their hands in their pocket". The singer tweeted pictures earlier this year after going to a party attended by guests including Rupert Murdoch and Nigel Farage. French president Francois Hollande has said that the camp will close before winter, with its inhabitants dispersed around the country. It has become a symbol of his government's failure to tackle Europe's migrant crisis and a target of criticism from conservative and far-right rivals seeking to unseat him. Homelessness charity Emmaus has called for a postponement to the closure because it says "all conditions are not met for an efficient humanitarian operation to take place". The head of Secours Catholique in the Calais area, Vincent de Coninck, is adamant the port city will remain a transit point to Britain.

Una de cada cinco pacientes que sufre de fractura de cadera quedará con algún grado de discapacidad. EL INFORMADOR / ARCHIVO Problemas respiratorios, cardiacos y diabetes son las principales patologías agregadas que se complican con la fractura y llevan a la muerte GUADALAJARA, JALISCO (18/OCT/2016).- Una de cada cinco mujeres de la tercera edad que sufre fractura de cadera tiene altas posibilidades de fallecer después del primer año del accidente, derivado de la comorbilidad que se presenta, señaló el especialista Francisco Ruiz González.   El jefe de la Clínica de Osteoporosis del Antiguo Hospital Civil Fray Antonio Alcalde agregó que problemas respiratorios, cardiacos y diabetes son las principales patologías agregadas que se complican con la fractura y llevan a la muerte.   Manifestó que una de cada cinco pacientes que sufre de fractura de cadera quedará con algún grado de discapacidad para valerse por sí misma.   Resaltó que la osteoporosis es la disminución de la estructura del hueso que ocurre en las mujeres a partir de la quinta década de vida y en los hombres en la sexta.   Indicó que el problema de la osteoporosis es que no duele, no hay una sintomatología que avise de la enfermedad, en muchas ocasiones el primer aviso de que alguien tiene osteoporosis es la fractura, que principalmente se da en la muñeca, la columna y la cadera.   "Si tomamos las estadísticas de la Organización Mundial de la Salud, una de cada tres personas arriba de 50 años va a tener osteoporosis en algún momento de su vida, si esta estadística la llevamos a Jalisco, probablemente en el estado haya alrededor de 400 mil personas con osteoporosis en este momento", expuso.   Ruiz González señaló que la Clínica de Osteoporosis, que tiene 14 años de laborar, está certificada desde 2005 por la International Society for Clinical Densitometry (ISCD) y por la Asociación de Metabolismo Óseo y Mineral.   Detalló que en 2015 realizaron dos mil 900 densitometrías de columna y cadera y se brindaron más de mil 500 consultas de osteoporosis.   Destacó que de la población de pacientes estudiada durante 2015, 30 por ciento no presentó la enfermedad, 25 por ciento presentó osteopenia (la primera fase de la pérdida de la masa ósea sin llegar a ser osteoporosis) y 45 por ciento de los pacientes, osteoporosis.   Enfatizó que la incidencia de osteoporosis, detectada en la Clínica del Antiguo Hospital Civil, se debe principalmente a que las pacientes que llegan a recibir atención médica son referidas de otros servicios o de otros hospitales.   Dijo que presentan factores de riesgo, fracturas previas y patologías agregadas como diabetes y obesidad que incrementan la probabilidad de tener osteoporosis.

http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/local-news/christmas-bargain-hunters-clear-supermarkets-9078957

These are the exclusive pictures of the chaotic scenes inside an Irvine supermarket this morning. Festive bargain hunters gathered at the Ayr Road Sainsbury’s shortly before 8am to grab a discounted Christmas deal as the supermarket giant launched its sale 66 days ahead of the big day. For some the event will have proved fruitful and would perhaps see an end to their Christmas shopping, for others it could have been the start. However, for one Irvine couple who attended the same event last year it was branded worse than Black Friday, with aisles being closed due to an overwhelming demand for toy bargains. One exhausted male shopper, Stuart Lloyd, said: “It was carnage. My partner was down not long after 8am and I just met her after I dropped the kids at school and nursery. “It was so bad that one of the aisles was empty by the back of 9am. So the manager and security shut the aisle off and made people line up for a good half an hour to wait whilst they restocked the shelves. “But before they could finish people started barging past the staff and grabbed what toy they wanted as soon as it was on the shelf. “There was even an old lady yelling at the manager, demanding to speak to someone higher up than him. “We come to this event every year since it opened as well as the whole Black Friday midnight shopping ever year and this was easily worse. “We had to leave at 11am to collect my daughter from nursery but it was still busy even then.” Another female shopper said: “I was here at 8.10am this morning having attended the same event last year, but obviously a lot more people knew about it this time round. “I was only there for half an hour but it was mobbed, I think there was a lot of people who were trying to get stuff bought before they went to work at 9am. “It can be so difficult to buy certain toys and I haven’t been able to find a certain toy for my son anywhere but luckily Sainsbury’s had it and it was half price, so even better!” A Sainsbury’s spokesperson said: " Our toy sale is always very popular. "We briefly closed an aisle in our Irvine store to restock and are sorry if any customers were disappointed."

Rights activists in Jordan called Monday for stiffer punishment for violence in the family, after four women and a man were killed in "honor crimes" in just over a week. Jordan has reformed its penal code, but loopholes allow judges to hand down lenient sentences, particularly if the family involved declines to press charges. In all, 26 people were killed this year in attacks by relatives who claimed they were protecting the family's honor, said Asma Khader, head of the Jordanian branch of Sisterhood Is Global, an advocacy group. This is an increase of more than 50 percent from last year, said Khader. In traditional patriarchal societies, alleged "offenses" by women can include talking to a man who is not a relative or leaving the house without permission. The latest case involved two sisters, aged 27 and 34, who were allegedly shot dead at a farm by two of their brothers and the husband of the younger woman. The Jordan Times reported Monday that the older woman died instantly last week and her younger sister died three days later, on Sunday. The daily quoted officials in the case as saying the suspects were charged with premeditated murder. The newspaper said the sisters' killing brought to five the number of suspected honor crimes since last week. On Oct. 8, an 18-year-old was arrested after allegedly killing his sister as she slept, because he found a mobile phone in her possession of which the family had no knowledge. A day later, a father and son allegedly killed a female relative and a man because the woman had left her family's home without approval. Khader said human rights organizations will try to lobby the country's recently elected parliament to move ahead with legal reforms. "Family honor" as a mitigating factor was abolished in the previous round of reforms, and special courts have been established for such cases, Khader said. However, a judge still has the discretion to reduce a sentence by half if the family refuses to press charges, a common occurrence in crimes involving relatives, she said. Activists also want to raise the minimum sentence for killings carried out in a "fit of fury" from three to seven years, she said. Responding to the recent spate of killings, Musa Breizat, head of Jordan's National Center for Human Rights, also demanded to "toughen the laws." Breizat spoke after presenting the center's annual report on human rights violations in Jordan. He cited a shrinking space for free expression as Jordan continues to crack down on extremist groups. The pro-Western monarchy is an ally in the U.S.-led military campaign against Islamic State extremists. IS controls territory in neighboring Syria and Iraq, but is also believed to have thousands of sympathizers in Jordan. "Now we have a super tension between human rights ... in certain areas and the preservation of national security," Breizat said. He said the government was "not very efficient" in distinguishing between freedom of expression and hate speech. Breizat said eight journalists were detained in 2015 for articles or social media posts, the highest number yet. He said there had been an increase in such detentions, but did not provide comparisons to previous years.

A DUP MLA has praised his more senior party colleague for making a tranche of cash available to improve safety at the North West 200. East Londonderry Assemblyman George Robinson hailed the move by Communities Minister Paul Givan (DUP MLA for Lagan Valley), which had been announced on Monday. The £124,000 tranche will be of “great importance” said Mr Robinson. He said: “There is no doubt that racing motorcycles on the roads is a dangerous sport and, sadly, we have seen lives lost and serious injury at the circuit.” He said there is “no way to make the sport 100% safe, but there are ways to minimise the risks”. The North West 200 ran this year from May 8-14, covering the so-called “north coast triangle” of Coleraine, Portrush and Portstewart. During the 2016 event, Englishman Malachi Mitchell Thomas, 20, died in a crash – the latest in a number of fatal victims at the annual event.

Hot Noodles Cold Sake Brings Excellent Ramen and Steam Buns to Scottsdale When a new spot opens in town, we can't wait to check it out — and let you know our initial impressions, share a few photos, and dish about some menu items. First Taste, as the name implies, is not a full-blown review, but instead a peek inside restaurants that have just opened, sampling a few items, and satisfying curiosities (yours and ours). Restaurant: Hot Noodles Cold Sake Location: 15689 North Hayden Road, Scottsdale Open: Less than a month Eats: Ramen, Japanese Price: $15 and under/person Maybe it's just the act of eating chef Josh Hebert's award-winning ramen on a day that isn't Tuesday, but for whatever reason, we swear our bowl of the goma ramen tasted better than ever at Hot Noodles Cold Sake last week. The restaurant opened its doors without much fanfare about two weeks ago, and has been putting out steaming bowls of noodles and fluffy white steamed buns ever since. The only thing missing seems to be the "cold sake" part of the equation, since the restaurant's liquor licence has yet to come through. Guess it's really just hot noodles and cold soda for now. But it's really no matter when you step up to the restaurant's kiosk-style ordering area — meaning rather than placing your order at a counter with a human being, you tap your selections into an tablet all on your own. The system is easy enough to use, even allowing for customization of your bowl, including adding extra meat, double noodles, or a cured egg. Once you've paid — also done via the tablet — you can take your seat either at the ramen bar or at one of several tables. During both lunch and dinner, you'll have the option to order a ramen set that includes a drink, ramen, and a side — edamame during lunch and a small order of gyoza at dinner. We started with a full order of gyoza, which ended up being our only misstep of the meal. The six dumplings were stuffed with a flavorful meaty filling, but the wrappers were unfortunately stiff and under cooked. A much better starter would be either the pork or shrimp steamed buns, which arrive on perfect cloud-like buns. With the pork, you'll get sweet notes mixed with the moist slices of meat, while the shrimp bun offers an bit of crunch thanks to an array of tart, pickled vegetables. Then it's onto the main event: ramen. If you've never tried Hebert's ramen before, it's worth ordering the goma, the house specialty. Loaded with bok choy, Fresno and shishito peppers, and sesame seeds, this bowl of ramen comes topped with char-shi pork and filled with a tangle of curly noodles. The broth, heavy with rich sesame flavor, was perfectly balanced on our visit, so it offered a creamy feel without being either too oily or too thin. Other ramen options include shoyu, miso, and shrimp, plus a vegan bowl made with a mushroom base for those who favor meatless meals. One note: The sprawling shopping complex in which you'll find Hot Noodles Cold Sake can be a bit hard to navigate, particularly during peak lunch hours. If you're familiar with the Skeptical Chymist, you'll find the ramen shop just a few doors down. Hot Noodles Cold Sake is open Monday through Saturday from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. For more information or to view the complete menu, check the Hot Noodles Cold Sake website.  Sponsor Content

http://www.edmontonsun.com/2016/10/19/justin-bieber-asks-fans-to-stop-obnoxious-screaming-at-show

Justin Bieber pleaded with fans to stop their “obnoxious” screaming at his concert in Birmingham, England on Monday night. The 22-year-old singer is currently in the middle of his Purpose World Tour, and took to the stage at the Barclaycard Arena in the city, where thousands of devoted fans crowded in to catch a glimpse of their idol. However, Bieber appeared to be struggling to cope with the cacophony of screams coming from the audience during the evening. Footage recorded at the concert shows Bieber asking the crowd: “Can you guys do me a favour? Can you guys just relax for like two seconds?” Bieber added that while he appreciates “all the love”, “the screaming is just so obnoxious”, before asking his fans to scream after he has performed his songs instead. “And then take a chill pill for a second and just listen to me speak,” he continued. “I don’t feel like I’m being heard sometimes and it gets a little frustrating. So if when I’m speaking you guys could not scream at the top of your lungs, is that cool with you guys? Can we do that?” But Bieber’s pleas went unheard and his fans continued to bellow their appreciation for the singer at the top of their lungs. Several audience members were put out by Bieber’s request, with fan Amanda Boland telling the Birmingham Mail she felt he was being “disrespectful to his fans” by asking them to cease their screaming. “Not so much us, more so the young girls who queued for a long time to be at the front,” she told the publication. “We recorded the fans screaming because we didn’t think we’d heard anything quite as loud at a concert before... and what we ended up recording, to our surprise, was Bieber complaining because his fans were ‘like two feet away’, and they just ‘needed to find another way to express themselves!’” However, others insisted on social media that Bieber wasn’t being rude, he was just trying to perform to the best of his ability for those who had paid to go and see him in concert. Later in the show, Love Yourself singer Bieber thanked the crowd for their ongoing support, saying: “I’ve been on tour for a while now, away from my friends and away from my family... That’s tough sometimes. But I adore all you beautiful people who keep me company.”

A FORMER Lord Mayor of Leeds and Alderman of the city has died following a short illness. Retired GP Dr Graham Kirkland, of Otley, had suffered a stroke and died peacefully aged 80 at Leeds General Infirmary on Saturday. Dr Kirkland became the first post-war Liberal Democrat Lord Mayor of Leeds in 1998 and went on to raise more than £100,000 for his chosen charities. His family said in tribute: “He was a loving husband to Joan for 55 years, father to Jonathan and Sue and doting grandfather to Joshua and Oliver, we will miss his sense of humour and thoughtfulness. “Dad instilled in us a strong sense of community and public service; he loved Otley and was very proud to serve its people. “He had great energy running a general practice as well as all the other activities; he understood that to make patients better they needed good housing as well as good medicine.” “The family would like to thank the brilliant staff in the stroke unit at LGI for their care and understanding and everyone for their kind words, thoughts and prayers.” Leeds North West Lib Dem MP Greg Mulholland, said: “Graham Kirkland made a huge contribution to the communities he served for so many years in Otley, Wharfedale, Yeadon and in Leeds. “Graham was a councillor for an extraordinary 45 consecutive years as well as serving as Lord Mayor of Leeds and Otley Town Mayor, as well of course as serving local people as a local GP and previously as a hospital doctor. “Graham’s loss will be felt by many, many people in the local community, including me. I was deeply saddened to hear the news and will miss Graham very much. “My sincere condolences and my thoughts and prayers are with Joan his wife and fellow GP, his son Jonathan and daughter Sue, and grandsons Joshua and Oliver. “Graham was a huge figure in local politics for so many years, respected by everyone including political opponents as well as colleagues. “Everyone in Otley knew Graham and knew someone who’d been helped by Graham. He was an inspiration and a mentor to many aspiring Liberal and Liberal Democrat candidates and councillor including to me and I can’t overestimate his contribution locally. “Graham always wanted to help people, whether as councillor or doctor and he touched so many lives. Graham has left a legacy that will go on and he will not be forgotten and those of us who serve people will continue to seek inspiration from him as we do our best to do so”. Coun Stewart Golton, leader of the Leeds Liberal Democrat Group, said: “Graham was a very valued member of the Liberal Democrat family in Leeds. “Although a successful man in his own right with a thriving GP practice, he was committed to caring for people in his community, not just as patients but also as citizens. “He believed everyone should share in the benefits of a successful city and during his mayoral year his charity aimed to improve the accessibility of the city centre for Leeds’s blind residents.” Coun Sandy Lay (Lib Dem/Otley and Yeadon), said: “Graham dedicated the best years of his life unselfishly serving our community and I know there are plenty of residents thankful that he made us better either medically or by helping us in his councillor role.” Current Lord Mayor of Leeds, Coun Gerry Harper said: “I was saddened to hear about Graham’s death. He was a hard-working local councillor and fire authority representative, balancing his duties with his work as a GP. “I’d like to offer my condolences to his family and friends and the Otley community he served so well.” Dr Kirkland was elected to Leeds City Council in 1973 having previously served on the Otley Urban District Council. He was Otley town mayor twice and served on Otley Town Council for 45 years. Dr Kirkland served on the West Yorkshire Fire Authority, where he had spells as vice chairman and chairman of its personnel and training committee. He was also an active member and former chairman of Harewood Housing Society and was a governor of Otley schools St Joseph’s and Prince Henry’s Foundation. He retired from Leeds City Council in 2012 and was made an Alderman of the City of Leeds. Dr Kirkland and his wife used to run the Westgate Medical Practice in Otley.

He also suggested one of the Trust’s advisers should not be involved due to sitting on the board at Portsmouth FC. The comments were published on the Coventry City website as part of the minutes of a meeting of the Supporters’ Consultative Group (SCG). The SCG was established as a way of giving fans access to club officials in 2006. The Trust insists it had clarified the position on all of the points raised by Mr Fisher ahead of the publication of the SCG minutes but the Trust’s responses were not included. A spokesman for the Trust told the Telegraph failing to include the group’s responses could be considered “an irresponsible act”. An email from outgoing Trust chairman Steve Brown to SCG chairman Jonathan Strange, seen by the Telegraph, made clear that the supporters group had not made a formal offer for the football club and that the Trust had only sought a meeting with Sisu boss Joy Seppala to discuss a supporter-led takeover. Lawyers acting for the club’s owners have since replied to the Trust to say the club is not for sale. Mr Brown’s letter to the SCG also offers clarification on the situation surrounding the accounts and the Trust’s legal adviser, Mike Dyer. Extracts of the letter can be read below: On the takeover approach He alleged that the Trust had made an offer to buy the club. I said that was untrue. I attach, on a confidential/not for publication basis, a copy of the letter sent by the Trust’s solicitors to Ms Seppala. You will see that it quite clearly does not make an offer, as I told the meeting. On the Trust’s accounts The Trust (a mutual society rather than a company) accounts were submitted to the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) back in August. The FCA have acknowledged receipt. The Trust had been in discussions with the Registrar with a view to removing the audit requirement, which was contained in new Trust rules, to replace it with a less costly process of independent examination. It took time to get the right advice and paperwork sorted so that the Trust (who are and have to be cost conscious) could save their members thousands of pounds. It needed to be done properly and it was. The filed accounts for the year ended January 2016 show the Trust had a turnover in that year of £485 and net assets of £5,629. As our earlier statement made clear, in any purchase Trust funds would not be used. Instead a community share scheme would be used. In addition, the accounts have been available on the Trust website for some time. On legal adviser Mike Dyer who assisted in the Portsmouth takeover and sits on Pompey’s board An allegation was made that the solicitor advising the Trust had a conflict of interest under the EFL’s rules. We have raised that concern with our solicitor, Mike Dyer, who responded as follows: “Were I to be ‘interested’ (as defined) in another club he would be quite right and I would not even countenance it, but in this matter I am advising a Supporters Trust who, unless and until they take over CCFC, are obviously not another ‘club’. “Nor, for the record, do I consider it in the least bit unethical!” What is Mr Brown’s take on the SCG minutes? As you can now see, Tim Fisher’s characterisation of the Trust’s letter to Joy Seppala is wholly misleading. His observations regarding Mike Dyer, the Trust’s legal advisor, are completely inappropriate and the EFL regulation quoted is not applicable to the situation. The Trust has clarified the position regarding filing of the accounts and is in communication with the FCA as to why there has been a delay in the information showing on the register.

Si tienes contratado algún sistema de televisión de paga no requieres llevar a cabo la reprogramación. EL INFORMADOR / ARCHIVO El IFT llevará a cabo un reordenamiento de las señales de televisión CIUDAD DE MÉXICO (18/OCT/2016).- Si cuentas con una pantalla de televisión digital o una televisión analógica conectada a un decodificador, el próximo 27 de octubre deberás acceder al menú de tu aparato para reprogramar los canales. Esto se debe a que el Instituto Federal de Telecomunicaciones (IFT) llevará a cabo un reordenamiento de las señales de televisión con el objetivo de que los televidentes tengan acceso a los canales de manera continua, a partir del canal uno, dos, tres, cuatro, cinco y así sucesivamente. Si tu televisor es nuevo o lo adquiriste recientemente es muy probable que realice la reprogramación de manera automática, pero hay modelos que necesitan que lleves a cabo los siguientes pasos: 1. Si el menú de la televisión o decodificador está en inglés, cambia el idioma a español para que sea más fácil reprogramar. 2. Tomar el control de la tele o decodificador. 3. Ir al Menú Principal. 4. Seleccionar Ajustes. 5. Identificar alguna de estas opciones que varían según la marca y modelo del equipo: reprogramación, auto reprogramación, programación automática, sintonización automática, búsqueda automática, encontrar canales. 6. Esperar a que el proceso de reprogramación en el equipo detecte el nuevo orden, así como los canales que se vayan incorporando. El 27 de octubre no será la única ocasión en la que deberás llevar a cabo la reprogramación, este proceso deberán realizarlo constantemente, alrededor de cada dos o tres meses, ya que habrá más canales de televisión abierta en el país y solo podrás sintonizarlos al reprogramar tu pantalla. ¿Tienes cable o TV satelital? No debes hacer nada Si tienes contratado algún sistema de televisión de paga, ya sea por cable como Izzi, Cablemás, Cablevisión, Cablecom, Cablevisión Red, Televisión Internacional (TVI), Megacable, TotalPlay u otro, no requieres llevar a cabo la reprogramación pues bajo esta modalidad no habrá modificaciones en la programación. Lo mismo sucede con los servicios de televisión vía satelital como Sky, VeTV y Dish, que mantendrán las señales donde las conoces hasta ahora. Aunque debes estar pendiente, pues el IFT trabaja en una reprogramación de los canales en televisión de paga, lo cual se concretará en unos meses.

Experience Scottsdale, or Else High on my list of Things That Annoy Me is the ongoing trend in “rebranding” stuff. I’m suspicious of the idea of changing the name or the look of something and claiming it’s somehow substantially different. It seems sneaky and disingenuous, like when KISS and Dolly Parton made disco records in the late 1970s. But my disdain will not stop the universe from reordering itself, or at least pretending to. It was recently brought to my attention that the Scottsdale Convention and Visitors Bureau has rebranded itself. It will now be known as Experience Scottsdale, a name that wants an exclamation point but offers instead a lot of lame excuses, courtesy of the bureau’s (oops — I mean the Experience’s!) charming press flack, Rachel Sacco. “Typically, convention bureaus target individual travelers, meeting groups, and conventioneers,” Sacco told me when I called to poke around. Scottsdale welcomes about 9 million visitors annually; last year, the city helped book more than 500 meetings via travel agencies and tour operators. Apparently, that wasn’t enough. A new name and outlook would change that. Besides, the name Scottsdale Convention and Visitors Bureau was fusty and out-of-date. “We knew it was time to take a look at how people envisioned Scottsdale,” Sacco explained. She lived in Scottsdale when she was quite young, and remembers walking to the Sugar Bowl for ice cream. She later moved to Arkansas, but came back to the Valley to attend ASU. “We learned there are misperceptions about Scottsdale, things that weren’t getting people to book trips here.” Sacco and her colleagues were stunned by the results of a survey of potential visitors to Scottsdale. “People thought we had nothing to do, no good restaurants,” she told me. “No activities or events, no nightlife.” Yet Scottsdale has hosted more than one Super Bowl, she insisted. “We have the Waste Management Open, great art galleries, golfing, culture, a culinary scene. People come here and say, ‘I can’t believe how much there is to do here!’ But if you haven’t been here, you don’t know.” Fair enough. But will changing the bureau’s name do something to get more people to Scottsdale, where they’ll discover how groovy it is? Sacco sort of seemed to think so. “We felt the new name gave us a lot more to talk about,” is how she explained it. “When people describe what they want out of travel, the word ‘experience’ comes up a lot. Experience Scottsdale gives audiences a sense of place.” Actually, it gives them a command. It’s a name that seems kind of pushy and demanding. Which apparently is okay, because bossing people around about where they should vacation is the latest trend in visitor bureaus. Upcoming Events “We were one of the few holdouts in the country, still using that old type of name,” Sacco said. “Everyone else had names like Choose Chicago or Visit Phoenix. People don’t understand what the word ‘bureau’ means, it sounds like a government agency. The word ‘convention’ tells people we are a convention center. We’re not.” And so, the Scottsdale Convention and Visitors Bureau changed its name to Experience Scottsdale, because ordering people around is the new cool way to get people to come see you and find out they like you more than they thought they would. Or, as my mother used to say to me, "If everyone were jumping off a bridge, would you do it, too?" Apparently, yes. If that bridge were located in Scottsdale. Sponsor Content

LAWRENCEVILLE, Ga. — The Democratic National Committee has apologized after one of its campaign buses was spotted dumping raw sewage along a road outside Atlanta. News outlets report a Lawrenceville auto shop employee alerted police Tuesday morning after witnessing the sewage getting dumped into a storm drain. The bus, which bears the slogan “Forward Together” and features the likenesses of presidential candidate Hillary Clinton and running mate Tim Kaine, was in town for an early voting event. The DNC apologized in a statement, calling it “an honest mistake.” A representative later said the sewage container was full and the driver was concerned about the contents leaking. Gwinnett County fire hazmat crews cleaned up the spill, which included a large amount of drying toilet paper on the roadway. Georgia’s Environmental Protection Division is investigating.

The school crossing patrol on Banbridge’s Scarva Road, which was withdrawn a decade ago, must be reinstated, a local MLA has said. Upper Bann DUP representative Carla Lockhart made the call following an incident near the old St Mary’s Primary School on Monday (October 17) when two nine-year-old girls were struck by a car. Just hours after the incident, Ms Lockhart submitted an urgent question to the Minister for Infrastructure, asking his department to assess the road safety issues on Scarva Road and calling for investment in traffic calming measures. “After learning of the removal of a lollipop person some 10 years ago, I have also asked the Minister of Education to instruct the Education Authority who have responsibility for crossing patrols to investigate the reasons for the removal, an urgent reassessment and a reinstatement,” she said. Ms Lockhart continued: “This incident serves as a timely reminder to parents and children to make road safety a priority and for drivers to take extra caution during school times, when roads and footpaths are busier.” Both children injured in Monday’s incident were taken to hospital for treatment. A spokesperson for the Belfast Trust has described their condition as “stable”. “My thoughts and prayers are with the two little girls, their families, the school family and the driver of the vehicle,” Ms Lockhart added. “This is a horrific ordeal and we can only imagine the turmoil felt by all involved. I pray that the children will make a full recovery.”

A disabled jobseeker is back on the road to success after landing a job as a school crossing patroller following four years of frustration as she looked for work. Lorna ‘the lollipop lady’ Gibson now conscientiously patrols the crossing at Airbles Street in Motherwell, ensuring children cross safely to and from Glencairn Primary. The 52-year-old has epilepsy and worked for 25 years in a factory for disabled workers until its closure in 2012. Despite not having a seizure for more than 25 years and her condition being medically controlled, Lorna struggled to find employment and instead made good use of her time volunteering for a charity shop. “I applied for hundreds of jobs but got nowhere,” said Lorna. “Although I’d worked most of my life, I didn’t have any up to date skills to offer employers. “Once you’ve been unemployed for a long time it feels like no one will give you a chance.” Lorna was referred to employment specialist Ingeus in Motherwell and promptly brushed up her CV and computer skills and attended workshops on confidence building and job searching. When Ingeus advised Lorna of the school crossing patrol vacancy, she jumped at the chance to do something completely different and was promptly employed by North Lanarkshire Council. The senior officer for school patrols at the council, Finlay Bruce, said: “Lorna was interested and enthusiastic at the interview and I had no hesitation in offering her a job. “We don’t pre-judge anyone on their background and we’ve recruited a reliable, friendly and well-liked member of the team.” Lorna works at the start and end of the school day, whatever the weather, and is delighted to be back in work. “It’s great being able to serve the local community and do something that keeps me fit and active,” said Bellshill woman Lorna. “The parents and children are really friendly and I love having a purpose in life again.”

La mayoría de las recientes encuestas de opinión han colocado a Trump en desventaja frente a Hillary Clinton. AP / M. Ngan Kellyann Conway recuerda que el empresario ya se ha recuperado en ocasiones anteriores WASHINGTON, ESTADOS UNIDOS (19/OCT/2016).- La directora de la campaña de Donald Trump reconoce que el candidato presidencial republicano necesita "rehacerse" en las últimas semanas antes de los comicios. Kellyann Conway dijo que Trump se ha recuperado en varias ocasiones anteriores. Es una admisión inusual por parte de la campaña del multimillonario de que podría perder. Conway hizo declaraciones a Fox News antes del tercer y último debate entre los candidatos presidenciales en momentos que varias encuestas en estados disputados dan ventaja a la demócrata Hillary Clinton. Conway dice que no entiende por qué Clinton no ha sido capaz de "liquidarlo", dadas su experiencia y las "cantidades interminables de dinero" de su campaña". Se preguntó: "¿Cuál es su problema?" Por otro lado, respecto a la invitación que hizo Trump a uno de los hermanastros del presidente Barack Obama, otro hermanastro dice que no está de acuerdo con la decisión del primero de asistir al último debate presidencial como invitado de la campaña de Donald Trump. Mark Obama Ndesandjo dijo que "yo amo a mis hermanos, pero nadie representa a toda la familia Obama". La campaña de Trump dijo que Malik, un hermanastro del presidente nacido en Kenia, estará presente en el último enfrentamiento cara a cara entre el republicano y Hillary Clinton. Los tres son hijos del mismo padre, pero de distintas madres. Ndesandjo, un empresario estadounidense, vive en Shenzhen, China, desde hace 15 años. En un correo electrónico, dijo que "otros en mi familia y yo no apoyamos la posición de mi hermano Malik sobre el señor Trump". Malik Obama apoya la candidatura de Trump.
