A video has emerged of boxing promorter Bob Arum saying he " gets a kick " out of seeing Michael Conlan enter a stadium to IRA songs prior to his fights . Arum , who handles Conlan 's fights , made the comments following the Belfast boxer 's decisive unanimous points victory over rival Vladimir Nikitin in New York on Saturday . It comes just seven months after the Belfast featherweight apologised for walking out to a fight to a pro-IRA song on St Patrick 's Day in Madison Square Garden , which was widely condemned by politicians and victims of IRA violence for " glorifying terrorism " . Conlan said they would not use the music again . Speaking following Saturday night 's bout , Top Rank boss Bob Arum said he is planning for Conlan to fight again on St Patrick 's Day in Madison Square Garden next year . " He 's going to do it in the theatre of Madison Square Garden and it 's during the week , St Patrick 's Day .. and the whole place will be green and we 'll maybe play maybe an IRA @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ he said . " Screw them ... I just get a kick out of it , because Michael Conlan got criticised last time when he came out to an IRA song . " Back in May , Conlan made his was to the ring to face Ruben Garcia Hernandez to The Wolfe Tones song Celtic Symphony , which contains the lyric " ooh ah up the Ra " , leading to IRA chants from fans in the arena . DUP leader Arlene Foster condemned the choice of music , referring to IRA murder victim Gillian Johnston ( 21 ) , who was gunned down outside her parent 's home in Leggs near Belleek on March 18 , 1988 . " Those chanting ' ooh ah up the Ra ' should take a moment and read about what IRA done on this day 31 years ago , " she wrote on Twitter . " Not actions worthy of glory . All terrorism was wrong and should be condemned - not glorified . " Michael Conlan later apologised to those offended by the song choice . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 'll not be using the music again . I 've learned that I 'm a role model , I 'm under the microscope and things like this are not good for boxing , " he told the BBC . " I meant no offence at all .

I always want to be part of that and going forward I will be a part of that completely . " While some called for the Belfast fighter to be suspended , Bob Arum jumped to his defence . " Mick certainly did n't want to offend anybody with the tune he used for his ringwalk in the Garden , " he said .

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. It lacks a clear NP object and a VP2[-ing] predicate that would induce either a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it seems to describe an attempt to transform something into a cinematic form, which does not align with the properties of the transitive out of -ing construction.

In 1998 , Andrew Lloyd Webber produced a Cats video special in which a live performance of the show was filmed .

It is like a nesting doll of bad decisions buried within catastrophic ones . Perhaps the most unwise choice , however , is to make an alleged plot out of Cats . Again the appeal of the original stage show was a cast of actors made up to look like cats ( or at least performers in elaborate catlike costumes ) , and Webber 's often gorgeous music accompanying prose from poet T.S .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'taking all the fun out of writing them for critics' does not involve a causer and causee relationship, nor does it induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it describes a result or effect of the film's actions on the fun of writing, which does not align with the properties of the transitive out of -ing construction.

The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate ('shock him out of being Batman'). It involves a causer ('using the death of a father figure') performing the action denoted by the V1 predicate 'shock' on the NP object 'him', which functions as a causee. The interpretation is a movement/extraction interpretation, as it implies causing him to move out of being Batman. This aligns with the properties of the transitive out of -ing construction.

Tom King did the impossible . In a comics industry founded on the bedrock principle that only the appearance of growth should ever be shown , he 's told a massive , three-year , 85-issue story that has Bruce Wayne actually develop as a character . With Alfred 's death earlier in the final story arc , " City of Bane , " many would have expected Bruce to shun his supporting cast and dedicate himself to revenge , leaving Gotham littered with shattered criminals as he pushed his grief through his fists and his enemies ' faces . But that 's not what happened . We got a chance to talk with King about character growth , how his epic tale developed , and what 's next for Batman , Catwoman , and King himself in the DCU . Advertisement Den of Geek : You talk about Vision , Omega Men , and Sheriff of Babylon being a thematic trilogy , right ? @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Mister Miracle , Heroes in Crisis , and Batman the same way ? It is . I call it the Trauma Trilogy . That 's just too easy , maybe . I feel like the first story about my war experience and the main characters of each book were all someone naively going into a situation and finding it much more complicated than they thought . And then these three were all about , I 've said this publicly a billion times , about this nervous **28;793;TOOLONG breakdown I had in 2016 when I first started on Batman , and sort of how I recovered from that . And I sort of wrote it three different ways . Yeah , it 's like some fancy dish , you know . The Trauma Trilogy . So the breakdown in 2016 happened after you had already started on Batman . How far is what ended up on the page drifted from what you initially conceived it to be ? I mean it 's pretty close . There 's some stuff that did n't quite pan out . Batman is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Strange Adventures that we 're doing . You have to write Batman with some degree of compromise because it 's a much bigger platform and overlaps a lot of other books . You have a lot more eyes on it in terms of editorial control . And so yeah , it was n't entirely a straight line , but considering it was 85 issues of DC 's best-selling comic , I think it was a lot straighter than I thought it would be in terms of going from one spot to another . It was always supposed to be about a love story and that was there from day one . I remember talking about that with my first editor , Mark Doyle ... being like , " What is this book about ? " And me literally just searching and searching until I found an old clip of the Batman ' 66 TV show . It was just like , " Oh man , I love this . " The Catwoman , Batman dynamic . And it had n't been in the books in a long time @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 52 stuff . So that part about it , the fact that it was just one big love story . That was the same and Bane was supposed to be the main bad guy . But the stuff with Flashpoint , Batman evolved as we went along . I 'd say that 's the thing that 's evolved the most . We talked that second arc , I think , about Bane , Catwoman , and Batman being three sides of the same shitty coin . But now with Thomas included in there , it feels like it 's kind of four points on a graph , labeling each axis . You 've got like Batman who had privilege but lost everything at a young age . You have Thomas on the other end who had everything for most of his life and then lost everything . You 've got Catwoman , who was born into nothing and kind of hangs on to everything but keeps it at arms length . And you 've got Bane , who kind of grabs whatever he can and crushes it to death @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ like what you were thinking at all ? Yeah , I do think they all represent this idea of who 's top of the mountain in their own way . I guess you could say who does Gotham belong to ? Bane sees Gotham as a prize that he has to win . Thomas sees Gotham as a burden . For Catwoman , Gotham is just who she is and she 's sort of queen of that city . And then for Batman , it 's ... I mean that 's what the whole question is . What does he mean to Gotham ? With Alfred 's death , was it kind of a backdoor way of you taking a look at Bruce 's origins ? You know , using the death of a father figure to kind of shock him out of being Batman the way that he was shocked into being Batman ? Yeah , but it was also a way to show what the difference is between Bruce losing his parents when he was young and connected to them , and Bruce losing Alfred @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a tribute to sort of Alfred 's parentage of Bruce for all these years and him guiding him through that trauma . Because you expect Batman in that moment to bury himself in anger and go insane and do all the things that drove him to be Batman in the first place . But instead of that , he hears Alfred 's voice and he composes himself . To me it 's sort of about the maturing of the character and maturing of it through the love of Alfred . I know I said this in the book , there are no good deaths . There 's a nobility to death if you 've treated your children right . Well , I would quibble with that only because I think you could have killed Batman at any point in the last 85 issues and whatever was happening would have been a hell of a way to go . Right ? Like he has a heart attack on a ferris wheel with Superman . That 's a pretty okay way to do it . Wait I did kill Batman @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Oh yeah ! Yeah . I gave him my ideal death . He dies instead as an old man surrounded by his family . And that 's the good death . That 's a good one . That 's as best as you can do with no other choices . After 85 , it feels like that 's kind of the direction , right ? Batman for so long has been that traumatized little boy , to the point where it 's almost a parody , and many of your predecessors have done something interesting with that . But it always feels like the traumatized little boy has been the dominant perception of him , at least in my adult life . Is this your way of kind of trying to push him through it ? The story of Batman is unending conflict . I 'm sure whoever comes after me will embrace the Batman of their own and I bless him for doing it . I know James Tynion IV , the writer taking over Batman with #86 's stuff is going to be @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 's not a story that I have the power to end . I just kind of come in and take the reins for a while and then pass it onto someone else as brilliant as James and Tony Daniel , the artist on the first arc . But I can sort of , I do n't know , tell my story . I do n't know , maybe I 'm too old to write Batman . Frank was 29 when he wrote The Dark Knight Returns . I 'm 41 . But it seems like as you get older and you actually see your parents pass , you see your loved ones pass , you realize that everyone has to go through that trauma . Right ? You sort of realize that it can become part of you and something you 're proud of as well . The grief never leaves you . It never leaves Batman . It 's a wonderful metaphor . But also there 's a certain joy to that grief because it sort of unites you with your lost ones . So hopefully , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that . I hate to say that the greatest hero America 's ever created , which is Batman , never got a chance to mature into it like the rest of us hopefully get to do . Yeah , I mean that 's what that 's about . He says , when I was a child , I did childish things and now it 's time to grow up a little bit . So the action sequences have been phenomenal through the whole thing . There have been some stellar fight sequences , especially Jorge Fornes ' last ten issues . Every time he comes in it 's incredible . He 's ridiculous . They 've been phenomenal . When I think back on the run , what I think is going to jump out at me are going to be the quiet moments . The double date , 12 Angry Batmen , Bruce and Selina grabbing a beer and watching football at a bar . What do you think was about those quiet moments that let you make them sing ? I mean , the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ things you mentioned , you 've got Lee Weeks ... there 's not a lot of people who can draw a dynamic room with just 12 people talking . Clay Mann doing the double date . Just him elevating himself and becoming the best artist in comics while I was watching . And then Mikel Janin . I 've been with Mikel for five years now since Grayson . He did the first Batman I did and he 's doing the last . It 's really hard . I mean , as dumb as it sounds , it 's probably easier to draw a dynamic fight scene than a dynamic quiet scene . So those guys are doing the heavy lifting . As far as the other stuff goes . You know , it 's ... DC Fontana died yesterday , right ? The Star Trekauthor , and she 's famous for saying , " Star Trek is not about objects . It 's about characters . " Like , that 's her thing . If you 're writing an episode of Star Trek , do n't make @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 's relationships . So I think that that 's what those moments are about is we 've had a lot of conflicts . Fantastic , amazing conflicts about things . But I try to make my conflicts about the characters . Just trying to follow what she told me to do . What she said . Not that I ever met her but I remember what she said to do . So looking back , is there an issue that stands out in your mind as something that you just absolutely nailed ? Like , it 's the Batman/Elmer Fudd issue , right ? No , I hate it . laughs I love that issue , but there 's two typos in it . It still drives me crazy . I 'll never manage to get them to fix those . When I first got the comp finished , I threw in the trash I was so pissed . " Oh , I ruined this one . Oh well . I 'll try again next time . " And then I won awards for it , it was @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ like . I like the dog story that David Finch and I did in the first annual , which was suggested by my daughter when she was like five . And I liked the second annual , which has sort of the first dates and the beginning of the end of the Catwoman/Batman relationship . That annual 's the jumping off point for the whole Batman/Catwoman series . So that 's how much I like it , I 'm trying to copy it . And I like the fourth annual I did with Jorge , which was just sort of like a chance for me to do a thesis statement on what Batman is . And there was seven days of Batman in seven different genres and then it continued sort of forever . I like those three . Similarly , is there an issue that you wish you could get another crack at ? Oh man , there 's a ton of issues I wish I could ... I mean , I look at the dialogue and I 'm like , " Oh , I @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ me a while to learn how to work with Joelle Jones , who 's one of the most talented artists out there right now . And I think , I feel like I did a Wonder Woman issue with her and I feel like I wasted two of them first of all , because the story I wrote turned out to be very similar to a story that Joe Kelly had done . I had n't read the story but I was very ... I would have changed it if I had known . I sort of understood how to write for Joelle by Batman #44 , which I think is really nice , but I think it 's 39 and 40 , the two Joelle Jones issues , I wish I could have another shot at doing well . I really liked those . TK : They 're beautiful ! They 're drawn beautifully , but I do n't know , we could have done something ... it was really fine , but I feel like it could have transcended . I missed it . I @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ them in the cartoon is high on my list of preferred pairings . So like the way that you played with that made me happy . Is there a character you feel particular ownership of now ? Like if somebody comes in and changes Kite Man , are you going to throw the issue across the room and scream , " Fuck no , that 's not how this is supposed to be done . " No , I think that 's kind of silly . It 's kind of like when you sign up for this gig , that 's part of the agreement and coming into comics is realizing that this is a medium that extends to other people and no one has benefited more from that than me , who 's twisted the work of Jack Kirby and Marv Wolfman and Bob Kane and Bill Finger for my own benefits . I feel like denying that to others would be hypocritical . Gotham Girl 's named after my daughter Claire . Claire Clover is her name . So I do like her . Like I @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ or a page that he did and a page that Clay Mann did they gave to me for her . So I like her because she 's named after my daughter . Wow . That 's got to be pretty sweet . I know . I try to tell her brag , brag to your friends ! But does she brag ? She 'll get there . As soon as she shows up in a movie , everyone 's going to be like , " Oh , you 're so cool . " Would you do it again ? Marvel comes to you tomorrow and says , " We want a hundred issues of Spider-Man . Do whatever the hell you want . " Do you jump at or do you run screaming ? I do n't remember anyone ever saying , do whatever you want with Batman . Well , fair . It never happened . Would I do it again ? I mean I have no regrets about doing it . On many levels , I feel like I 'm artistically satisfied @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ career and made my life and I had fun . But it 's that second thing you said , the control of it . As I move forward , I kind of want to do , I do n't know , like , I want to do super ambitious stuff and it 's hard to do super ambitious stuff in that environment . I feel like I got as close as I could get with Batman . I had a brilliant editor in Jamie Rich , huge support from Dan DiDio , but I do n't know if I 'll ever get that much again . Going forward , we 'll see . But I just want to do something , I do n't know , big and ambitious and literary and I do n't know if that 's possible anymore . If it is , I 'll go . You did the Sheriff and Omega Men and Vision Trilogy . You did the Heroes in Crisis Trilogy , or the Trauma Trilogy . Where are we going next ? Yeah , something new . I @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ move on from fat middle aged men looking out windows , thinking about their lives . I think it 'll be like another trilogy of books . It will be Strange Adventures , Batman/Catwoman , and another book that has n't been announced yet . And all of this will be these 12-issue miniseries , like these little novels and they 'll all be focused on a new , bigger theme . The way things develop when you 're writing , you can write it one way where you 're like , " I 'm going to write about this theme , " then you go write it . But when I do that , it just turns out shitty . The best way I think to do it is just to write straight through so your unconscious mind brings it to the surface while you fight doing the same thing over and over again . So I 'm not 100 percent sure these things are still forming as they form , but it 's going to be a lot about all the shit that 's in the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Miracle was about sort of the trauma of looking around our current environment , thinking , " My God , this ca n't be real . I feel like I 'm trapped here , " Strange Adventures will be about how do we fight back this pernicious stuff that seems to surround us . And I think that 's what Batman/Catwoman will sort of be about too . Hopeful is the wrong word because some of them are dead dark books . I do n't feel hopeful right now . But I feel like , I do n't know , it feels like we 're in the middle of the war and you do n't feel hopeful in the middle of the war , but you still feel like you 'd have to fight . You know ? Yeah . It 's more about that feeling , not the feeling that , " Oh God , we 're going to win . " But the feeling of , " Oh God , we ca n't lose or else . " And Strange Adventures , I 've @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ n't love it more . It 's 28 pages . Doc Shaner and Mitch Gerads are doing crazy new stuff you have n't seen in comics before , which I think is cool in terms of mixing the two arts together . The two , I do n't know , styles or whatever . I could n't be more proud of it . I remember Garth Ennis famously saying that with The Boys , you out-Preacher Preacher . So we 're going to try to out-Mister Miracle Mister Miracle , to steal from Garth . |

With just days left until voters go to the polls to elect their next government , the Evening Express asked the leaders of the four main UK parties to set out to our readers why they should place their trust in them at the ballot box . Boris Johnson When people across Scotland vote on Thursday , the future of our union is at stake . The people of Scotland voted decisively to remain part of the UK in 2014 . But the SNP plough on relentlessly with their independence obsession , neglecting vital public services like education and the NHS . There is a clear choice on Thursday : a vote for the Scottish Conservatives who will stop a second independence referendum and focus on investing in Scotland 's future , or a vote for the SNP to prop up Jeremy Corbyn in Downing Street and tear apart our incredible union with two more divisive referendums . The SNP offer nothing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of Scottish Conservative MPs who have fought so hard for the north-east of Scotland and secured vital support for the key industries of oil and gas , whisky , fishing and farming . During the campaign , I travelled to Elgin to visit our candidate Douglas Ross at the Roseisle whisky distillery . The whisky industry supports 42,000 jobs across the UK , yet the tax on each bottle sold in this country represents almost three-quarters of its price . So we will review spirit duty to ensure our tax system is supporting drink producers . The Conservatives will also support the North Sea oil and gas industry with a transformative sector deal to protect jobs and invest in new technology as we move towards reaching net zero emissions by 2050 . This stands in contrast to Corbyn 's ? 11 billion " Aberdeen tax " that would threaten 120,000 jobs and deter future investment . I also announced in Aberdeenshire that we are backing Scotland 's farmers , with both an additional ? 211 million in funding as well as maintaining farm payments at @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . We also have a clear commitment to free our fishermen from the disastrous Common Fisheries Policy , creating 5,000 jobs and generating an extra ? 540m . Jo Swinson The Liberal Democrats are offering voters the opportunity to put an end to the constitutional chaos that has dominated the political agenda for years . We want to stop Brexit , stop independence and get on with building a brighter future for Scotland at the heart of the UK and the EU . Scottish mental health services are suffering with a lack of staff , our underfunded schools have left young people achieving the worst maths and science scores on record and our A&E departments are under considerable strain . A Liberal Democrat government would take swift action to strengthen our public services and address the climate crisis by investing in low-emission public transport , planting millions of trees and insulating low-income homes . Remaining in the EU would provide a ? 50bn Remain Bonus , which we can use to invest in our children 's @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ We will never support independence because putting up new borders and cutting ties with our neighbours is a backward and regressive move . Sadly , as in other pockets of the country , Brexit has heightened anxieties among the agricultural community and piled pressure on businesses . That 's unacceptable . Brexit bickering and the threat of a no-deal exit have stopped businesses planning , expanding and attracting investment . The Liberal Democrats want to protect the specialist designations the EU affords our food and drink sector and safeguard access to markets . We will fight against a hard Brexit , which would impose devastating tariffs on the farming and crofting sectors . The north-east is also a powerhouse for the industries that will be core to engineering a smart transition to a carbon free future -- green energy , green transport and green finance . Scotland 's future energy mix needs to be diverse and durable . Much of that transition will need to take place in the north-east . Nicola Sturgeon This is the most important @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in the north-east have the chance to escape the chaos of Brexit and lock Boris Johnson out of office for good . Scotland can send the Tories in Westminster a message that we wo n't be sidelined and silenced any longer . This election is about who decides our future -- Boris Johnson , or the people of Scotland . Like the rest of Scotland , voters in Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire overwhelmingly rejected Brexit and still want to stay in the EU . But if the Tory party win a majority in three days ' time , we 'll be dragged out of Europe against our will . The only way to escape Brexit on Thursday , is to back the SNP to lock Boris Johnson out of Downing Street . Because his Brexit plans will hit Aberdeen the hardest , putting thousands of jobs in the oil and gas sector on the line . For too long , Westminster has taken the north-east 's energy industry for granted -- syphoning off revenues from oil and gas to line the pockets of the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ countries like Norway have an oil fund worth $1 trillion and are now investing in a low carbon economy . That 's why SNP MPs will argue for future oil and gas revenues to be ring-fenced in a Net Zero Fund to boost the transition to a low carbon economy -- with at least ? 1 billion of those revenues supporting jobs and investment in the North East . Tory MPs in the north-east have completely ignored the needs of their constituents , choosing instead to act as cheerleaders for a hard-line Brexit regardless of the cost to the local economy . If elected again , they 'll act as no more than lobby-fodder for the Eton-educated Brexiteers at the top of the Tory party like Boris Johnson and Jacob Rees-Mogg . The north-east deserves better than that . Together , we can stop Brexit . Richard Leonard Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn was asked to set out his reasons why voters should back his party but we were told this would not be possible on this occasion @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ his thoughts . Aberdeen is a city which through hard work and ingenuity has driven the Scottish economy forward for decades . In the good times , Aberdeen supported Scotland , but recently it feels like it 's been left to be buffeted by market forces by the government . The downturn has seen good quality jobs move away and not nearly enough has been done at Westminster or Holyrood to defend working people . The downturn 's knock-on effects have cast a shadow over the city , but if a Labour government is elected on Thursday , we will make sure Aberdeen is at the heart of Scotland 's economic development . But that economy has to be different to the past . It has to diversify . We need to ensure jobs in Aberdeen are there for good and are no longer so dependent on a fluctuating barrel price set far away from our shores . Aberdeen needs investment if we 're to guarantee the kind of economy where high-skilled , high-wage jobs are based in the city , not just for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . A Labour government will establish a Scottish National Investment Bank with around ? 20 billion of lending power . That 's 10-times the SNP 's limited vision , because we understand the size of the challenge which faces Aberdeen and the whole of Scotland . Our investment bank will introduce a Worker 's Ownership Fund , allowing employees to control their own destiny through co-operatives and employee-owned businesses . No longer will Aberdeen 's future be decided by fund managers in the City of London , or absentee owners in faraway boardrooms . Our Investment Bank will harness the power of research and development , investing in the skills and training required to transform and renew Aberdeen 's economy . These are just some of the policies a Labour government will use to transform Aberdeen and the whole of Scotland and on Thursday the only way to guarantee that transformation is to vote Labour . In Aberdeen North and South , our great candidates Nurul Hoque Ali and Shona Simpson are standing to ensure we elect a Labour government which has the power to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ |

Yes , of course - please forgive me . I 'd quite forgotten some people find homicidal alcoholic hoodlums fascinatingly complex characters . Do n't worry - you have plenty of company . . . so there will always be plenty of films depicting this enviable lifestyle in the cinema . Good day to you . * " No inner conflict " ? : Were you asleep during the movie ? * " The Irishman is boring " : Well , just about all the critical reviews strongly disagree with you. * " They 're pathetic and stupid " : Again , this is your opinion , and not really an argument. * " Their wives and daughters live more interesting lives " : What exactly was is interesting about their wives and daughters ' lives ? We do n't even know much about their lives , perhaps because none of their wives and daughters wrote a book about their boring lives . And if they did bother to write a book , the titles would probaly be : " Married to the Irishman : How I kept quite about my husbands criminal activities " . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ film was The Age of Innocence . Never mentioned by his fanboys - no doubt due to the lack of meatheads and murders - it deals with real characters wrestling with real issues.Interesting that these characters were created by a woman , is n't it ? Even though it 's not beloved by Edith Wharton purists , it did more than hold my attention , which is more than I can say about The Irishman . What about you ? Did you miss the bozos doing their ' house-painting and carpentry ' ? You 're not very astute , are you ? Explosions , shootings and similar action are precisely what I avoid in the cinema - and what Scorcese uses to maintain an audience 's interest in a dull narrative.The Irishman is boring because there 's no real inner conflict or development in its characters . They trudge through life delivering tedious platitudes , learning nothing and pretending to be tough guys - but they 're really pathetic and stupid . Their wives and daughters live more interesting lives , but Scorcese does n't have the wit or @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ franchise are movies made for children , yet unashamedly inject political narratives into the storylines . The men are deliberately made to look dumb , while the take-home message is that " women do n't need men " .... meantime , most viewers never assumed that women did need men . And the political narratives are expected to amplify , as there are already talks that ' Elsa ' will be getting a ' girlfriend ' in the next movie . Soon , hoards of little girls will also want a ' girlfriend ' ( regardless of their actual sexual orientation ) , just because their favorite movie character has one . This is a pathetic attempt by hollywood , to ensure that people 's kids are ' woke ' , before they can ride a bike . Thus , ' Frozen ' displays obvious propaganda . But unlike you , I can enjoy a movie regardless of whether the characters are male , female , black , white etc etc . As long as the characters are interesting , complex , flawed , identifiable , and human . Not @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , non-nonsensical , virtuous , and/or political idea of what that character should be , based on gender , ethnicity , or some other superfluous biological trait . We will reach a truly outrageous level of political correctness , if books and movies ( which are based on true stories ) have to be amended , in order to make them more representative . ' The Irishman ' is a story about what happened , or what is written to have happened . Scorsese is not going to alter these events , to appease your need to feel represented . @HeinekenHelenWhen you are dealing with a historical mobster era in which females were *not major characters , this is rather like saying that one will not watch a movie about WWII Nazis that does not containmajor land armies from China invading Poland in 1939 . Movies have no obligation to serve as ad fantasies for personal political views - facts be damned - *especially when they are *based on actual and verifiable recent history . So , you know , no U.S. Civil War Movies with all female armies @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , all of these characters ARE Italian Gangsters , save one - Frank Sheeran , " The Irishman " . Every one of major characters are *based on Historical Characters , a fact which may be missed by people who know nothing about the reality-based plot lines they are watching . People can complain about how well they think Scorsese *delivered theactual history , but they simply embarrass themselves in revelation of the fact that they are clueless *regarding the actual History . The Irish Mobsters controlled organized crime in the U.S. in a much earlier era . By the time the U.S. experienced the massive Italian Immigration wave , the Irish had already long since graduated from street-level mob activity in " big time " mob activity as members of Political Machines such as Tammany Hall , and the U.S. Congress . Frank Sheeran was born far too late to participate in the heyday of the Irish Mobs . More Wolf of Wall Street than Mean Streets . There 's a specific angle he 's having a go at with the confessional movies ; not just the unreliable @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ more the crying of a professional mourner . That 's probably because almost everyone weighing in against the movie does n't really have a thing to say about it , and is just bigging themselves up by saying how over it they are . It 's hard to see what they get out of adding their two cents . But then there 's the additional thing of people just missing the point completely . " Tired and repetitive " , for instance . Yes , this is Goodfellas without the coke . This is the skull beneath the s(k)in . This is evil without appetite . Horrible , is n't it . And it builds that creeping horror , that ghastly sense of the auditor calling for your accounts , by resonance -- internal resonance over the course of one man 's life , and the call backs to Scorcese 's other movies in the same vein . He 's not copying himself out of laziness or a lack of ideas ; those ideas are dragged out one last time to do their work . So @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ or like other movies better ; but with critiques like yours , it 's as though you did n't even see the movie at all . I mean , God knows , I had a little nap for five minutes in the middle -- how much did you zizz through ? ; - ) ' Solidly made ' refers to the technique , not the story , which I also did n't particulary care for . And ' master director ' would refer to his 1970 's output up until Kundun . As neither of us particularly liked The Irishman it would be a prime example of his decline post mid 90s , and not an example of his being a master director Shutter Island - " solidly made " ? In that case - without reading either the novel or a review - how did I know one of the cops was a nutter before they even stepped onto the island ? In case you 've forgotten , that was supposed to be the movie 's big twist . If Scorcese 's a ' master director @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ The Irishman being a prime example - look like they were the output of studio hacks ? Never mind - you like him , I do n't . It will almost certainly be up for the best picture oscar ( and it may even win it ) but for me it would n't even crack my top ten . It just feels so tired and repetitive and the story really did n't justify the films running time . I will say though that some people who defend the film on here are so sensitive to the films criticism , sprouting such belittling nonsense like " Go and watch something simpler like star wars hurpdeedurp dee durp . " It 's just sad . Ive read why people like the film , it 's nice that they like it but i 'm sorry i just do n't see it . Shutter Island was indeed a disappointment- better than Gangs I 'd say because it was at least solidly made and edited , and not unintentionally funny , unlike Gangs , but it could have been made by @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ but he has n't been on top form since Kundun , at least in terms of technical mastery ( although Bringing out the Dead had flashes and Silence was very nicely controlled ) I never rated Steve Zallian as a writer - he wrote Gangs of New York , Scorsese 's worst film You 're forgetting Shutter Island . And Pesci has been overpraised . He did okay - but was n't given anything particularly difficult to do . As usual with Scorcese , the characters were just a bunch of meatheads.The Sopranos delivered far more nuanced mobsters than any of Scorcese 's - at about $150 million less than The Irishman . Is this a joke ? You could literally describe most of the plot , even have someone read the dialogue -- which sounds like Italian gangsters , not Irish ones -- talk about the narration and the tracking shots , and the lack of female participation , and still have the person you 're talking to trying to guess which of half a dozen Scorsese films you are describing . What 's original @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ going for it to make it different from his mother films is its running time and the crappy CGI . Dear critics : if you want to go after the MCU or anything else saying that we need fresh , original filmmaking from new voices , then do n't put this boring rehash second on your overall list . Why not reward actual fresh , original filmmaking ? Where 's Styx or I Am Not a Witch or Aniara or The Mustang or Black ' 47 or Roll Red Roll ? This film 's greatness will be only appreciated in time as , beautifully told , wonderful period pieces , especially the barbershop scene , and an awesome soundtrack . This is a triptych with Goodfellas and Casino and possibly throw in Mean Streets as well . I found it to be rather poorly made - flat cinematography and rather odd editing - in a number of instances there 's a cut in the same scene , and a character will appear out of nowhere or disappear . Very shoddy . Pesci was excellent , And @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ out off a CGI mannequin head . The last third had a degree of power , but it was heavy handed - you get far more pathos in Raging Bull ; a better sense of the sweep of history and well formed characters in Casino . I never rated Steve Zallian as a writer - he wrote Gangs of New York , Scorsese 's worst film If you want the definitive take on the theme of aging gangsters , I suggest " Touchez pas au grisbi , " by Jacques Becker . Even Scorcese ripped off its harmonica theme for " The Irishman , " basically acknowledging the French film 's superiority . Blah , blah , blah - it would be more appropriate to describe the poverty , ineptitude and dullness of Scorcese 's film-making in this instance . A mundane story ( most likely nothing more than a geriatric 's attention-seeking fantasies ) which trudges through a conveyor belt of dismal criminality . After so many similar projects , there 's no need for an intelligent person to find these goons and their activities the slightest @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ his career glamorizing these lowlifes who are obsessed only with $ and being treated with respect . They 're pitiful - and so is The Irishman , its awful CGI and the embarrassing spectacle of 7O year old actors trying to play men in their early 40s . The Irishman is fantastic , saw it twice so far along with about 5 hrs of interviews with Charles Brant that were extremely helpful.I found Pacino to be a terrible choice , while he was an exceptionally great actor in his early films , he once again he played himself instead of the character with his same old mannerisms and loud outburst.Never tried to talk or act like the real Jimmy Hoffa . I enjoyed The Irishman for the most part , thought it was decent enough , but it does n't touch the level of Goodfellas or Casino , which are films you can watch multiple times and not get bored . Whereas seeing The Irishman once felt like enough . Honestly , it felt more like Scorsese was trying to " get the band back together " for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ mob movie . As much as I love the cast , I did n't feel most of them were really trying in this one , just kinda phoning it in , going through the motions , which , at their age , and all they 've accomplished , I suppose they 've earned that right . Joe Pesci was outstanding , though - it was fun seeing him in a less boisterous mobster role for once and he played it brilliantly ; he has always been such an underrated actor throughout the years . As for the ' de-aged ' CGI faces everyone complains about , I guess I did n't mind it much . It was weird at first , but you get used to it . My only problem with it is that they missed an opportunity to give some up-and-coming young actors their big break , kinda like how De Niro played young Vito Corleone in Godfather II . Otherwise than that , The Irishman was somewhere in the middle , not really bad or really good , just okay . Nothing wrong with that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it was the mafia 's ' possible ' involvement with the murders of Hoffa and JFK that has n't been dredged up before and just because it was based on the words of psychopath does n't make it any more true . In the end I realized I had spent three and a half hours with this lowlife , who incidentally , was a tall red-haired Irishman , . So much for authenticity . |

Even though it 's not beloved by Edith Wharton purists , it did more than hold my attention , which is more than I can say about The Irishman . What about you ? Did you miss the bozos doing their ' house-painting and carpentry ' ? You 're not very astute , are you ? Explosions , shootings and similar action are precisely what I avoid in the cinema - and what Scorcese uses to maintain an audience 's interest in a dull narrative.The Irishman is boring because there 's no real inner conflict or development in its characters . They trudge through life delivering tedious platitudes , learning nothing and pretending to be tough guys - but they 're really pathetic and stupid . Their wives and daughters live more interesting lives , but Scorcese does n't have the wit or @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ franchise are movies made for children , yet unashamedly inject political narratives into the storylines . The men are deliberately made to look dumb , while the take-home message is that " women do n't need men " .... meantime , most viewers never assumed that women did need men . And the political narratives are expected to amplify , as there are already talks that ' Elsa ' will be getting a ' girlfriend ' in the next movie . Soon , hoards of little girls will also want a ' girlfriend ' ( regardless of their actual sexual orientation ) , just because their favorite movie character has one . This is a pathetic attempt by hollywood , to ensure that people 's kids are ' woke ' , before they can ride a bike . Thus , ' Frozen ' displays obvious propaganda . But unlike you , I can enjoy a movie regardless of whether the characters are male , female , black , white etc etc . As long as the characters are interesting , complex , flawed , identifiable , and human . Not @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , non-nonsensical , virtuous , and/or political idea of what that character should be , based on gender , ethnicity , or some other superfluous biological trait . We will reach a truly outrageous level of political correctness , if books and movies ( which are based on true stories ) have to be amended , in order to make them more representative . ' The Irishman ' is a story about what happened , or what is written to have happened . Scorsese is not going to alter these events , to appease your need to feel represented . @HeinekenHelenWhen you are dealing with a historical mobster era in which females were *not major characters , this is rather like saying that one will not watch a movie about WWII Nazis that does not containmajor land armies from China invading Poland in 1939 . Movies have no obligation to serve as ad fantasies for personal political views - facts be damned - *especially when they are *based on actual and verifiable recent history . So , you know , no U.S. Civil War Movies with all female armies @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , all of these characters ARE Italian Gangsters , save one - Frank Sheeran , " The Irishman " . Every one of major characters are *based on Historical Characters , a fact which may be missed by people who know nothing about the reality-based plot lines they are watching . People can complain about how well they think Scorsese *delivered theactual history , but they simply embarrass themselves in revelation of the fact that they are clueless *regarding the actual History . The Irish Mobsters controlled organized crime in the U.S. in a much earlier era . By the time the U.S. experienced the massive Italian Immigration wave , the Irish had already long since graduated from street-level mob activity in " big time " mob activity as members of Political Machines such as Tammany Hall , and the U.S. Congress . Frank Sheeran was born far too late to participate in the heyday of the Irish Mobs . More Wolf of Wall Street than Mean Streets . There 's a specific angle he 's having a go at with the confessional movies ; not just the unreliable @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ more the crying of a professional mourner . That 's probably because almost everyone weighing in against the movie does n't really have a thing to say about it , and is just bigging themselves up by saying how over it they are . It 's hard to see what they get out of adding their two cents . But then there 's the additional thing of people just missing the point completely . " Tired and repetitive " , for instance . Yes , this is Goodfellas without the coke . This is the skull beneath the s(k)in . This is evil without appetite . Horrible , is n't it . And it builds that creeping horror , that ghastly sense of the auditor calling for your accounts , by resonance -- internal resonance over the course of one man 's life , and the call backs to Scorcese 's other movies in the same vein . He 's not copying himself out of laziness or a lack of ideas ; those ideas are dragged out one last time to do their work . So @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ or like other movies better ; but with critiques like yours , it 's as though you did n't even see the movie at all . I mean , God knows , I had a little nap for five minutes in the middle -- how much did you zizz through ? ; - ) ' Solidly made ' refers to the technique , not the story , which I also did n't particulary care for . And ' master director ' would refer to his 1970 's output up until Kundun . As neither of us particularly liked The Irishman it would be a prime example of his decline post mid 90s , and not an example of his being a master director Shutter Island - " solidly made " ? In that case - without reading either the novel or a review - how did I know one of the cops was a nutter before they even stepped onto the island ? In case you 've forgotten , that was supposed to be the movie 's big twist . If Scorcese 's a ' master director @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ The Irishman being a prime example - look like they were the output of studio hacks ? Never mind - you like him , I do n't . It will almost certainly be up for the best picture oscar ( and it may even win it ) but for me it would n't even crack my top ten . It just feels so tired and repetitive and the story really did n't justify the films running time . I will say though that some people who defend the film on here are so sensitive to the films criticism , sprouting such belittling nonsense like " Go and watch something simpler like star wars hurpdeedurp dee durp . " It 's just sad . Ive read why people like the film , it 's nice that they like it but i 'm sorry i just do n't see it . Shutter Island was indeed a disappointment- better than Gangs I 'd say because it was at least solidly made and edited , and not unintentionally funny , unlike Gangs , but it could have been made by @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ but he has n't been on top form since Kundun , at least in terms of technical mastery ( although Bringing out the Dead had flashes and Silence was very nicely controlled ) I never rated Steve Zallian as a writer - he wrote Gangs of New York , Scorsese 's worst film You 're forgetting Shutter Island . And Pesci has been overpraised . He did okay - but was n't given anything particularly difficult to do . As usual with Scorcese , the characters were just a bunch of meatheads.The Sopranos delivered far more nuanced mobsters than any of Scorcese 's - at about $150 million less than The Irishman . Is this a joke ? You could literally describe most of the plot , even have someone read the dialogue -- which sounds like Italian gangsters , not Irish ones -- talk about the narration and the tracking shots , and the lack of female participation , and still have the person you 're talking to trying to guess which of half a dozen Scorsese films you are describing . What 's original @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ going for it to make it different from his mother films is its running time and the crappy CGI . Dear critics : if you want to go after the MCU or anything else saying that we need fresh , original filmmaking from new voices , then do n't put this boring rehash second on your overall list . Why not reward actual fresh , original filmmaking ? Where 's Styx or I Am Not a Witch or Aniara or The Mustang or Black ' 47 or Roll Red Roll ? This film 's greatness will be only appreciated in time as , beautifully told , wonderful period pieces , especially the barbershop scene , and an awesome soundtrack . This is a triptych with Goodfellas and Casino and possibly throw in Mean Streets as well . I found it to be rather poorly made - flat cinematography and rather odd editing - in a number of instances there 's a cut in the same scene , and a character will appear out of nowhere or disappear . Very shoddy . Pesci was excellent , And @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ out off a CGI mannequin head . The last third had a degree of power , but it was heavy handed - you get far more pathos in Raging Bull ; a better sense of the sweep of history and well formed characters in Casino . I never rated Steve Zallian as a writer - he wrote Gangs of New York , Scorsese 's worst film If you want the definitive take on the theme of aging gangsters , I suggest " Touchez pas au grisbi , " by Jacques Becker . Even Scorcese ripped off its harmonica theme for " The Irishman , " basically acknowledging the French film 's superiority . Blah , blah , blah - it would be more appropriate to describe the poverty , ineptitude and dullness of Scorcese 's film-making in this instance . A mundane story ( most likely nothing more than a geriatric 's attention-seeking fantasies ) which trudges through a conveyor belt of dismal criminality . After so many similar projects , there 's no need for an intelligent person to find these goons and their activities the slightest @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ his career glamorizing these lowlifes who are obsessed only with $ and being treated with respect . They 're pitiful - and so is The Irishman , its awful CGI and the embarrassing spectacle of 7O year old actors trying to play men in their early 40s . The Irishman is fantastic , saw it twice so far along with about 5 hrs of interviews with Charles Brant that were extremely helpful.I found Pacino to be a terrible choice , while he was an exceptionally great actor in his early films , he once again he played himself instead of the character with his same old mannerisms and loud outburst.Never tried to talk or act like the real Jimmy Hoffa . I enjoyed The Irishman for the most part , thought it was decent enough , but it does n't touch the level of Goodfellas or Casino , which are films you can watch multiple times and not get bored . Whereas seeing The Irishman once felt like enough . Honestly , it felt more like Scorsese was trying to " get the band back together " for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ mob movie . As much as I love the cast , I did n't feel most of them were really trying in this one , just kinda phoning it in , going through the motions , which , at their age , and all they 've accomplished , I suppose they 've earned that right . Joe Pesci was outstanding , though - it was fun seeing him in a less boisterous mobster role for once and he played it brilliantly ; he has always been such an underrated actor throughout the years . As for the ' de-aged ' CGI faces everyone complains about , I guess I did n't mind it much . It was weird at first , but you get used to it . My only problem with it is that they missed an opportunity to give some up-and-coming young actors their big break , kinda like how De Niro played young Vito Corleone in Godfather II . Otherwise than that , The Irishman was somewhere in the middle , not really bad or really good , just okay . Nothing wrong with that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it was the mafia 's ' possible ' involvement with the murders of Hoffa and JFK that has n't been dredged up before and just because it was based on the words of psychopath does n't make it any more true . In the end I realized I had spent three and a half hours with this lowlife , who incidentally , was a tall red-haired Irishman , . So much for authenticity . |

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. It lacks an NP object and a VP2[-ing] predicate, and it does not induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it describes a process of development 'out of nothing rather than something', which is not related to the transitive out of -ing construction.

by 20 December 2019 Ayla Lepine explores Advent themes in contemporary art ALAMY Refugee Astronaut III by Yinka Shonibare ( 2019 ) Refugee Astronaut III by Yinka Shonibare ( 2019 ) ADVENT is full of images of expectation , light , and the slow unfurling of the holy truth that the infant concealed and nourished in Mary 's womb will arrive to be Emmanuel , God with us . As the Advent hymn says , " God in time , God in man , this is God 's timeless plan . " Visual art , like poetry and music , allows the imagination and the Bible to converge , and allows one person 's insights to inspire , challenge , and question many . Michael Ramsey wrote that God , the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ , is " the God for whom none of the traditional images are adequate and all of them are necessary to convey a reality greater than themselves " . Moreover , art points to " a way past dread utility " , as Catherine Pickstock has @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ shaped by and re-entwined in nature 's simpler if awesome flourishing . " Advent is the season of longing for the light of Christ to enter the world afresh , even as that light glimmers in every heart , as each believer , it is hoped , grows into a fuller awareness of being " fearfully and wonderfully made " by the Creator . Isaiah 's promise of liberation , hope , and salvation is heard again ; and the ancient names of Wisdom , Key of David , and Dayspring suggest images of promise . With a bit of effort , perhaps , nostalgia or the lure of Christmas shopping can be subverted by Advent 's truths of mortality , eternity , and the world 's darker corners . Contemporary artists such as Kara Walker , Olafur Eliasson , and Mona Hatoum can take us into the theology of Advent and breath new life into it . Barbed wire , bin bags , water , and bread -- these are not the themes of the wreaths of Advent candles in our churches , but they are @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the One who is coming . These artists have been the foundation of a recent series of Advent discussions at Hampstead Parish Church , in London . Advertisement THE One who lived and died and lived again proclaims : " My Kingdom is not of this world . " In our minds , hearts , and bodies , we live to God 's glory in our earthbound limitations . Citizens of heaven , we are also , like Emmanuel , born in a time and place , and live out the inescapable realities of human frailty . The Wellcome Collection , in London , has recently opened a new gallery , Being Human . The curator , Clare Barlow , has created rooms filled with objects that make connections between medical technology , health , philosophy , the environment , and diversity . TheNew York Times recently suggested that this museum 's exhibition was possibly the most accessible in the world for disabled people . Earlier this year , a journalist who uses a wheelchair , Ciara O'Connor , describe the difficulties that she had encountered @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ " In Real Life " exhibition at Tate Modern . She said : " Accessibility is not ugly , or cluttered or distracting . Accessibility belongs in art and everywhere . " Advent reminds us that , as we wait for the birth of Jesus , we should see every human being as precious in God 's eyes , and ensure that inclusion is a priority , because of the radically inclusive incarnation in which the Son of God is born for the whole of humanity , not just for a privileged few . The Being Human gallery includes Refugee Astronaut , a sculpture by Yinka Shonibare , who not only accepted his CBE , but uses it alongside his name to claim boldly this accolade as a black artist . This sculpture is clothed in Dutch wax-printed cotton , historically exported to West Africa , and often used to signify national pride and independence . The figure is laden with possessions in a net heaved on to the astronaut 's back . There are a frying pan , a telescope , a suitcase , photos , and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ leave in a hurry ? Are they earthbound , at the edge of home , or suspended in space ? What do they seek ?

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. It involves an intransitive verb 'develop' with no NP object and the phrase 'out of nothing' does not introduce a VP[-ing] predicate. Additionally, it does not induce either a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation.

by 20 December 2019 Ayla Lepine explores Advent themes in contemporary art ALAMY Refugee Astronaut III by Yinka Shonibare ( 2019 ) Refugee Astronaut III by Yinka Shonibare ( 2019 ) ADVENT is full of images of expectation , light , and the slow unfurling of the holy truth that the infant concealed and nourished in Mary 's womb will arrive to be Emmanuel , God with us . As the Advent hymn says , " God in time , God in man , this is God 's timeless plan . " Visual art , like poetry and music , allows the imagination and the Bible to converge , and allows one person 's insights to inspire , challenge , and question many . Michael Ramsey wrote that God , the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ , is " the God for whom none of the traditional images are adequate and all of them are necessary to convey a reality greater than themselves " . Moreover , art points to " a way past dread utility " , as Catherine Pickstock has @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ shaped by and re-entwined in nature 's simpler if awesome flourishing . " Advent is the season of longing for the light of Christ to enter the world afresh , even as that light glimmers in every heart , as each believer , it is hoped , grows into a fuller awareness of being " fearfully and wonderfully made " by the Creator . Isaiah 's promise of liberation , hope , and salvation is heard again ; and the ancient names of Wisdom , Key of David , and Dayspring suggest images of promise . With a bit of effort , perhaps , nostalgia or the lure of Christmas shopping can be subverted by Advent 's truths of mortality , eternity , and the world 's darker corners . Contemporary artists such as Kara Walker , Olafur Eliasson , and Mona Hatoum can take us into the theology of Advent and breath new life into it . Barbed wire , bin bags , water , and bread -- these are not the themes of the wreaths of Advent candles in our churches , but they are @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the One who is coming . These artists have been the foundation of a recent series of Advent discussions at Hampstead Parish Church , in London . Advertisement THE One who lived and died and lived again proclaims : " My Kingdom is not of this world . " In our minds , hearts , and bodies , we live to God 's glory in our earthbound limitations . Citizens of heaven , we are also , like Emmanuel , born in a time and place , and live out the inescapable realities of human frailty . The Wellcome Collection , in London , has recently opened a new gallery , Being Human . The curator , Clare Barlow , has created rooms filled with objects that make connections between medical technology , health , philosophy , the environment , and diversity . TheNew York Times recently suggested that this museum 's exhibition was possibly the most accessible in the world for disabled people . Earlier this year , a journalist who uses a wheelchair , Ciara O'Connor , describe the difficulties that she had encountered @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ " In Real Life " exhibition at Tate Modern . She said : " Accessibility is not ugly , or cluttered or distracting . Accessibility belongs in art and everywhere . " Advent reminds us that , as we wait for the birth of Jesus , we should see every human being as precious in God 's eyes , and ensure that inclusion is a priority , because of the radically inclusive incarnation in which the Son of God is born for the whole of humanity , not just for a privileged few . The Being Human gallery includes Refugee Astronaut , a sculpture by Yinka Shonibare , who not only accepted his CBE , but uses it alongside his name to claim boldly this accolade as a black artist . This sculpture is clothed in Dutch wax-printed cotton , historically exported to West Africa , and often used to signify national pride and independence . The figure is laden with possessions in a net heaved on to the astronaut 's back . There are a frying pan , a telescope , a suitcase , photos , and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ leave in a hurry ? Are they earthbound , at the edge of home , or suspended in space ? What do they seek ?

Arsenal will be hoping that bringing in Mikel Arteta will be the start of a new era , and the January transfer window comes at a perfect time to improve a faltering squad . There are several positions that could do with reinforcing in the current Gunners side , but one that is lacking , in particular , is the midfield .

2020 is almost upon us and led to a nostalgic review of the decade that has passed in the Premier League . Goals have often dominated the headlines with Sergio Aguero 's strike at the Etihad to deliver Manchester City ' s first title in 44 years surely the most memorable of them all . That goal came from the only assist Mario Balotelli ever recorded in the blue shirt , but it was one of the club 's most vital . The Italian was not best known for his unselfishness , but some players certainly are and in this decade more than ever the art of creation has been heralded . A player who provides time and time again is priceless and the phrase ' a number 10 ' only really came to prominence around 2010 . The English top flight has been graced by many artists , many of whom still have received the necessary recognition . But who is this decade 's ultimate supplier ? Starsport has taken a glance at the last decade to see who tops the charts for the most assists while taking into account time @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ? David Silva - 89 assists - 8.9 per season The Spaniard brings down the curtain on a decade at City at the end of the season but what a joy he has been . Some argue he 's the best player in the club 's history surpassing the likes of Sergio Aguero and Vincent Kompany . One thing 's for sure and that is he can find his forwards time and time again . His unique style has made him an integral part of everything good at the Etihad . David Silva has supplied chance after chance for Man City 's forwards during his career ( Image : Getty ) Christian Eriksen - 62 assists - 8.8 per season Since arriving from Ajax in 2013 the Dane has been Tottenham ' s creator in chief . His absence from the starting XI is always telling and its a credit to Tottenham and their ambition that they 've been able to keep hold of him for so long . Eriksen is almost certainly off in the summer , but we can @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ more than most given how regularly the two have linked up . Christian Eriksen transforms Tottenham when he features Cesc Fabregas - 58 assists - 10 per season The Spaniard is among the Premier League 's greatest assist merchants with his total starting 15 odds years ago . He was arguably the Premier League 's best midfielder with Arsenal just before we said goodbye to the 2000s , but was similarly effective in this decade . He would almost surely top the list had he not returned to Barcelona for three seasons . Jose Mourinho bought him back to Chelsea in 2015 and the Blues won the double that year with Fabregas hugely influential . It would have been criminal for the La Masia graduate to have been deprived of a league winners medal . Cesc Fabregas ' efforts in Chelsea 's title win in 2014/15 were hugely impressive Kevin De Bruyne - 55 assists - 12.2 per season His total shows no sign of slowing down having registered another last weekend . He only moved to City in 2015 but looks @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ must be wishing he played in a different shade of blue , but as it is Pep Guardiola is the man to benefit . De Bruyne 's range of passing leaves you speechless at times as does his vision . His delivery has been put up there with David Beckham 's - and that is one hell of a compliment . The second Belgian on the list is narrowly pipped , although he did have longer to register his total . Its a credit to the now Real Madrid man that he was so fruitful in front of goal yet managed to provide for his team-mates so often . His final year at Stamford Bridge was perhaps his most impressive given the strength of Chelsea 's side , but his ability to coast past players and lay it on a plate for his forwards was unrivalled . Eden Hazard was Chelsea 's most effective weapon - be it with goals or assists Mesut Ozil - 53 assists - 8.1 per season If any player has made a career out of supplying his colleagues @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ top form he can make any good team a great one . His problem has been turning an average team into a good one . When he has the platform and is allowed to roam he is an asset to any team . Ozil 's perceived inability to do a job for his team has undermined him and robbed him of appearances , but his vision and eye for a slide rule pass has been of benefit to many of Arsenal 's strikers since he joined in 2013. |

Depending on who you talk to , the Nintendo Switch is either the greatest system ever and Nintendo 's triumphant return to leading the pack , or Nintendo continuing to make mistakes with low stock and a host of game re-releases . The latter is seen as a black mark on the system for some reason . I can understand that . When you buy a system , you generally want that purchase to be justified by all the great exclusive games that you ca n't get anywhere else . Nintendo did come out of the gate swinging with The Legend of Zelda : Breath of the Wild . You do n't get an more than 1:1 attach ratio without doing something right . The rest can be harder to justify if you 're looking for all-new gaming . Mario Kart 8 Deluxe , Minecraft : Nintendo Switch Edition , Shovel Knight , Disgaea 5 Complete , Thumper , the Neo Geo titles , Lego City Undercover , I Am Setsuna , and the upcoming Ultra Street Fighter II are all games you can play elsewhere if the desire arises . The @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ but the games themselves are largely intact and playable . There 's nothing really wrong with that though . For one , what the Switch tends to bring to the table is the ability to straddle the line . It offers a console level presentation - better than the Wii U and below the current gen consoles - and the ability to take those experiences wherever you go . It is the current defacto successor to the Wii U , 3DS , and PlayStation Vita , something no other console can really call claim to . You may not get a ton out of buying Disgaea 5 again , but for me , being able to play it on a train , plane , or general commute is a large part of the appeal . Sure , I do most of my work from home , but even within those constraints , I enjoy the Switch . I appreciate the ability to grind out a level in Disgaea or Minecraft while I 'm grinding out one in real life on the toilet . The Switch has a docked @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ use it in that mode . Beyond that , there 's nothing wrong with a re-release or remaster . Those titles are rarely taking up a spot that would 've otherwise gone to a new game . They represent a chance for a fan to play a game they enjoy on a new platform or format , or for a game to reach a whole new audience . In the case of the Switch , that audience is currently fired up and excited . In my interview with Wonder Boy : The Dragon 's Trap developer Omar Cornut , he noted the benefit from being on the Switch early in its lifecycle . " The nostalgia factor is really high , " said Cornut . " For many who had a Sega Master System , this game was it . It 's a game that 's really special for them . Plus , being a Switch launch window title probably really helped in getting attention . There was a lot of luck involved . " That extends to the re-releases . Mario Kart 8 sold 8.31 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ title . The Nintendo Switch is already at 2.74 million sold and it still has the rest of 2017 to go , including the lucrative holiday season . We do n't know where the Switch it ultimately wash out , but it 's pretty clear it 'll be ahead of the Wii U in total sales ( unless something goes horribly wrong ) . There 's a chance for Mario Kart 8 Deluxe to reach a bigger audience than the original did . Likewise , Shovel Knight is available on everything , but being one of the Switch launch titles still propelled the system to a renewed visibility . Thumper for Switch might not have virtual reality to lean on , but if you missed it the first time around , it 's still a great game . I own Binding of Issac on Steam , but I purchased the Nintendo Switch version and that 'll be the first time that I 've actually played the game . To use NBC 's old tagline : If you have n't seen it , it 's new to you . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 're hip deep in industry speculation in enthusiast circles . I want the Switch to achieve its best and for that to happen it needs a steady feed of new titles from first and third-party developers . It 's fine to speculate and worry about that . But at the end of the day , it does n't really matter if Mario Kart 8 Deluxe or Mario Kart 9 launched on the Switch first . The point is offering a great game to owners of a new platform . Front Mission probably qualifies under this banner despite being a long-running and popular series in Japan . While it 's been released a handful of times in the U.S. , it has n't been able to build much more than a cult audience . Its one chance to break into the mainstream was ruined by a truly wretched third-person action game . Anyway , Front Mission is a tactics RPG that functions as a sort of cross between Fire Emblem and Mechwarrior . Its best known for its heavy customization -- @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and its political storytelling , which recalls anime like Patlabor . Front Mission 's heyday was on the original PlayStation and the PS2 , where it received a number of sequels and spinoffs before tailing off at the end of the late 2000s . Its was last seen in 2010 , when the ill-conceived Front Mission Evolved killed it off entirely . The apparent death of Front Mission is a heartbreaker for Japanese mecha fans , particularly given that Front Mission 5 never made it over to the west . It would be a tremendous fit for both the Vita and the 3DS ; but alas , there do n't appear to be anymore sequels in the cards . Still , the series holds up reasonably well , particularly the excellent Front Mission 3 . Pour one out for hardcore mecha strategy then do what you can to revisit these gems . I never played Earthworm Jim 2 . I 'm not a humongous fan of the first game , either . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ than fun , especially when I was asked to pilot an extremely fragile goldfish bowl through some narrow passages lined with jagged coral ( urrrgh ) . When Shiny took its passive-aggressive jab at Donkey Kong Country in the Sega CD edition of Earthworm Jim , I wonder if it ever considered that maybe DKC is more popular because it 's just the better game . Anyway , even though I do n't like playing Earthworm Jim , I have no problem admitting it has a fantastic soundtrack ( or admitting the cartoon series based on the game is pretty great ) . Earthworm Jim 2 sounds great , too . It was released on the PlayStation and Sega Saturn in addition to the SNES and Genesis , which is something that happened often to 16-bit platformers that straddled the ' 95 / ' 96 borderline . The game 's music was remixed to suit its CD format , and the boost shines through in Tommy Tallarico 's " Subterranean . " Subterranean accompanies Jim as he digs through Earthworm Jim 2 's underground level , " @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ references , will you ever wear out ? ) . It also shows up in the " ISO 9000 " level , which is set in a tax office . Odd choice , that : Subterranean is a relaxing track , and tax offices are anything but . Some people prefer the chiptune iteration of Subterranean for the SNES and Genesis . It 's all good , but I just really dig the guitars in the arranged version of the song . Deadlines , from Botolo developer Ian Snyder , is a simple one button , two player multiplayer game . Two players situate themselves on either end of a keyboard , holding down " A " and " L " to begin . The game itself , with its neon color palette , gives players a simple goal with their singular buttons : " be the taller line , eat the smaller line , avoid the sides . " The result is a painterly wave of colors growing in size as they attempt to collide into one another . Each round is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , complicated multiplayer experience , but a compactly enjoyable one that can be played in just a browser . It 's perfect for wanting to pull up something quick to pass the time on your laptop when loitering in a cafe with a friend . A quick look at the Nintendo Switch eShop and you 'll quickly realize that there 's enough quality titles to make for a good digital library of games . The latest to join Nintendo 's neat hybrid console , and a game I 've been playing all weekend , is Drool 's " rhythm violence game " Thumper . Although Thumper first came out on the PS4 and Oculus last year , the game completely slipped under my radar . So when I heard it was coming to the Switch I decided to basically wait for it to come out on the Nintendo system . And frankly , it was worth the wait . Thumper has players take control of a metallic beetle tied to a rail system . The players will then have to time their @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and guardrails . Time your presses to the beat of the music and you 'll bolster Thumper 's industrial as hell soundtrack . Oh and also the game supports the Switch 's HD Rumble feature , which I finally understand its deal because it feels really cool in Thumper . The biggest surprise is how genuinely terrifying Thumper is . The game combines some pretty intense action with freaky boss designs . I 'm actually worried what the game might feel like in VR , only because I 'd probably get a heart attack from the experience . So if you 're looking for some extra Switch games , I 'd happily recommend Thumper , a kind of scary game that definitely lives up to its " rhythm violence " designation . Overwatch is celebrating its one-year anniversary with a host of skins and three new Arena maps .

Dontnod 's episodic adventure is one of the few games in that style that did n't come from Telltale Games . It worked quite well , wrapping up with some great endings .

1 ) The buy-in with Jose Mourinho is simple : more so than with any other manager , it feels twice as good when you 're winning but about five times worse when you 're losing . That is the sacrifice he and his style of football demands . It can be thankless , joyless and useless . It can be tasking and taxing , devoid of imagination or direction . It can be abject . But it somehow magnifies the better displays and results when they are produced , like an abusive boyfriend who convinces you he has changed by cooking you breakfast in bed once every six months . A prime example of this sporting Stockholm syndrome was the Wolves victory earlier this month . Tottenham had less than half as many shots as their opponent , less possession and considerably fewer corners . Through a potent combination of fortune , defensive resilience and a stoppage-time goal they secured a 2-1 away win that felt transformative -- Mourinho in excelsis -- but was minutes from being a miserable draw or defeat . And @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to Manchester United , making it seem like tangible progress . That is the tightrope , the fine line that is to be navigated with Mourinho at the helm . Wins over West Ham , Bournemouth and Olympiakos were great , and the Burnley shellacking a sensational exception to the rule . Losing to an out-of-form Chelsea and woeful Manchester United just makes these performances almost unbearable . No amount of breakfast in bed makes up for this emotional turmoil . 2 ) With that said , it is something of an accomplishment to achieve safety-first football that puts you in almost constant danger . Paolo Maldini once supposedly quipped that " if I have to make a tackle then I have already made a mistake " . Serge Aurier made five , Toby Alderweireld three , Davinson Sanchez four and Jan Vertonghen two . That does rather sum up the nature of the game , with Chelsea either breaking at pace or finding gaps in Tottenham 's dilapidated armour and ruthlessly exploiting them . If the visitors did not manage to shoot from an attack @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a foul or a last-ditch tackle . Such a reliance on individualistic defending is never healthy . Chelsea , on the other hand , worked and moved as a unit to successfully starve both space and time . 3 ) While not every win -- or defeat -- can be boiled down to managerial input , this was a direct result of Frank Lampard 's coaching . Chelsea identified an opportunity , worked on a new shape and plan and executed it to absolute perfection . Something did have to change . Four defeats from five Premier League games had dragged them back towards a Europa League spot they seemed clear of long ago . They were unlucky against Manchester City but overwhelmed and out of answers against West Ham , Everton and Bournemouth . Lampard 's response was to revert to a three-man central defence that he last used in October and September , to great effect against Lille and Wolves . It was brave , bold and brash to deploy it away at a direct and in-form rival . It also felt like a pointed @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ mentor or club spokesperson . He earned this victory through his coaching acumen . 4 ) The first 15 minutes alluded to a pattern of dominance . Chelsea focused not on counter-attacking but patient build-up play starting from Fikayo Tomori or Antonio Rudiger , playing through the wing-backs and wide forwards and often bypassing their own central midfield until the time was right . In the opening quarter of an hour , N'Golo Kante completed just two passes but created one chance , while one of Mateo Kovacic 's nine simple balls provided the assist for the first goal . Chelsea controlled possession both in terms of percentages and purpose . Every player had an idea of what they wanted and needed to do , where they had to be . And it built to a delightful crescendo : Tammy Abraham had shots in the 6th and 8th minutes , Rudiger tried his luck in the 10th and Willian scored in the 12th . 5 ) Tottenham , by contrast , lacked a focus . It was the same against United , where they played for far @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of play . It felt like they could not string more than two or three passes together before finding that the door was locked and opting to go long . That played perfectly into Chelsea 's hands . Lampard set up to exploit Tottenham 's weaknesses but also nullify their strengths , namely the raking ball from Toby Alderweireld at centre-half to Dele Alli or another forward . The Belgian played ten long balls and less than half were accurate ; Sanchez found his target with two from nine . Tomori , Zouma and Rudiger did not struggle in the slightest repelling that particular assault every time . And again , that was down to Lampard 's design rather than coincidence . 6 ) As impressive as Chelsea were and as disappointing as Tottenham are , the opening goal owed more to individual error than anything . Aurier compounded his initial mistake in heading the ball out for a corner under absolutely no pressure by reacting far too late to Willian 's short delivery . The Brazilian played the ball a few yards out to Kovacic @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ was similarly lackadaisical in closing the midfielder down , he received the ball back . Some nifty footwork was a familiar plot device to an oft-told story of Willian creating space to cut inside on his right foot and curl the ball into the far corner . There is something to be admired in Aurier 's faith in his instincts to thwart Willian within a matter of milliseconds as he invited both the prospect of running towards the byline to cross or inside to shoot . It at least completed a hat-trick of defensive incompetence from the most likely of sources . Who could possibly have known a right flank of Aurier , Sissoko and Lucas might be susceptible ? Spurs ' right side : The right side generally consists of Lucas , Sissoko , and Aurier . In their past few games , this side has been caught out a few times . It 's no secret that defensively these 3 players are suspect . Someone like Pulisic has to capitalize , 7 ) " Willian 's had his critics this year , " roared @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ wheeling away in celebration . That much is an understatement . Willian 's had his critics this and every year since undergoing a Tottenham medical in 2013 . His vote as Chelsea 's Player of the Year in their nightmare season of 2015/16 seems like a perfect encapsulation of his frustrating nature . But this , fuelled by his apparent intense dislike of the opponent , was wondrous . The goal , the penalty , the insatiable touch before creating a chance for Michy Batshuayi in stoppage time -- it was sumptuous and masterful . He created as many chances ( 5 , Tottenham managed 4 ) as he misplaced passes . And such accuracy from an attacking player verges on the offensive . Willian 's spectacular performances are often characterised as tenacious , tireless and workhorse displays ; this was just irresistible and undefendable prowess going forward . 8 ) It at least prompted a genuine reaction from the home side , who were driven on to improve by their manager bellowing from the sidelines and their fans chanting from the stands . Chelsea were @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Except from the minute straight after the goal to the 25th , Chelsea had 65.8% possession , three more shots and two more corners , while Tottenham still could not muster a single attempt . And Chelsea played their next corner short to Kovacic on the edge of the area because learning lessons is for nerds . If appointing Mourinho is by no means a guarantee of an improvement in quality , it is always sold as an upgrade in mentality and durability . Tottenham under the Portuguese look inherently weaker and more vulnerable immediately after conceding , not stronger . 9 ) When their moment did come , Harry Kane looked as surprised as anyone else in the stadium . A minute after his miss , Heung-min Son skied a similar opportunity . You wait ages for a north London chance , and then two come along at once . The key was in a member of that central midfield actually showing some drive and determination to progress and move the ball . Moussa Sissoko burst through and played a one-two with Lucas for the first @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to miss . The second was Tottenham momentarily riding a wave of momentum as Paolo Gazzaniga 's long kick rebounded to Lucas , who played in Kane . His delivery , as it so often is , was perfect . Son could not quite convert . Tottenham showed more fight and impetus in those 90 seconds than they had in the previous 27 minutes . It took one of their more limited players in Sissoko almost literally dragging them by the neck . He 's been largely awful as the isolated Mourinho centre-forward , by the way , Kane . Dreadful . 10 ) That central area really was a problem for Tottenham . Chelsea were happy to recycle possession in wide areas but by no means neglected either Kovacic or Kante -- they just used them as and when they were needed . On the other hand , Tottenham were desperate to involve Sissoko or Eric Dier but were simply incapable of playing through a concerted press to get to them . Alanis Morissette probably was n't watching , but would have cringed at the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the bench than the two on the pitch . Pick Tanguy Ndombele for the dribbling ability , Harry Winks for being able to pass under pressure , Giovani Lo Celso for combining the two or Christian Eriksen in the hope of him conjuring something out of nothing . Do n't fight the fire of Kante , even on one of the Frenchman 's quieter days , with a water pistol . Eriksen was introduced at half-time , but by then it was too late . Chelsea were too comfortable and assured , his teammates too overawed . The manager who hauled Dier off after 29 minutes of a retrievable Champions League game just watched on in horror . The horse had bolted and been made into lasagne and glue by the time Mourinho reacted . 11 ) A huge part of Tottenham 's problem was that they just could not cope with Mason Mount . The 20-year-old did not stop running throughout . He was excellent . 12 ) That Gazzaniga mistake sure was something else , provided that ' something else ' is a synonym for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ just done there ? ' Alonso was not going to get the ball . It was going out for a goal-kick . Gazzaniga came to challenge for it . He , a goalkeeper , led with a flying kung-fu kick . And then Anthony Taylor awarded him a free-kick . VAR corrected the mistake -- and it is important to note when it works properly -- and Willian scored from the spot . But while Gazzaniga can only be blamed for the concession , let it not mask how deficient this performance was , and how systemic these issues are . A relevant example would be David de Gea 's mistake earlier in the day . Manchester United would have been woeful with or without it , and might well have lost regardless . It does not absolve him of guilt for quite literally chucking the ball into his own net , but it is important not to obfuscate the genuine issues . Gazzaniga suffered a moment of madness ; Tottenham are not yet cured of months of ineptitude . 13 ) After the game , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ they played for two years under Antonio Conte " . During the game , he tried to replicate it . Before the game -- albeit a fair bit ' before ' , back in September 2017 after beating Basel -- he derided it as " the trendy tactic of five in the back that some of your colleagues like to call three but they are totally wrong , it is five " . Mourinho matching Lampard at half-time was a folly in itself . Chelsea had presumably worked on the formation for an entire week and it showed : players in blue knew their roles and requirements to the letter . Mourinho was caught off-guard and his players baffled by its implementation , yet there Eriksen was in defensive midfield , with Lucas Moura at left wing-back . It was a mess . 14 ) Nor did it engender a particular improvement . Tottenham did not concede again but if that is the sum total of what we can expect from this side when two goals down at home to a team struggling for form then this will @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ The hosts had one more shot in the second half than in the first , even managing an attempt on target when Kane tested Kepa in the eighth minute of stoppage-time . They were just listless otherwise -- not helped by Son 's sending-off for planting his boot in Rudiger 's chest . Still , between the 30th and 86th minute they had a single shot of any kind . It was blocked . Chelsea stepped off a little to conserve energy and prioritise control , yet still posed a threat . The goal they had correctly ruled out for offside was a microcosm of the second half : Mount dispossessed a Tottenham player in their half to launch a counter-attack that the hosts could not keep up with . 2-0 might have been flattering for Spurs . 15 ) To inflict upon Mourinho his first ever loss at home to Chelsea , and first at home in 14 games against his former sides , is no mean feat . The most notable aspect of the victory was surely the maturity . And that is not necessarily @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ such terms : Tomori , Mount , Abraham . Rather , it was from Cesar Azpilicueta in an unfamiliar role , Kante in being a little more reserved , Willian in maintaining one level instead of flitting in and out , and Rudiger for leading from the back . The Blues could quite easily have indulged themselves and contributed to Tottenham losing their collective patience at a time when it felt like they were on the brink . Even if Mark Clattenburg had been in charge it never seemed as though it could have descended into the sort of shambles these two sides have shared before . That is testament to Chelsea focusing solely on the jobs they were asked to do rather than the opponent they were implored to do it against . Tottenham played the team and lost ; Chelsea played the match and won . 16 ) After defeats to Manchester City , Liverpool ( twice ) and Manchester United ( twice ) , it should not be understated how much of a relief this will be for Chelsea . Draws with Leicester and Sheffield @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ finally been dispelled . The clean sheet will be most welcome , a first in six Premier League games . Only a third win of the Premier League season without an Abraham goal or assist is a similarly pleasing sign that those behind can carry the goalscoring responsibility for a player who seems to have been weighed down by it recently . And that midfield continues to inspire . There is considerable room for improvement for both the players and the manager . There is also a healthy gap to fifth place , and a berth in the Champions League knockout stages . Lampard can see the tunnel at the end of his first confected crisis . The challenge for him now is to follow it through to the other side without being dragged back in . Show me someone who thought they 'd be comfortable in fourth after 18 games and I 'll show you a liar . |

' Dictator and wife executed " screamed the front page of The Scotsman on Boxing Day , 1989 . " Bloody End for Butcher of Bucharest ' . Similar headlines were emblazoned over newspapers across the world as Romania brought an end to more than 40 years of Communist rule with the most bloody revolution to hit the Iron Curtain nations . More than 1,000 people were killed during the uprising 30 years ago this week which saw leader Nicolae Ceausescu and his wife , Elena , executed by firing squad on Christmas Day . The killing , captured by video cameras operated by rebel forces , was broadcast around the world shortly afterwards . IT worker Radu Serban , who now lives in Edinburgh with his wife , Andreia , and their young son , Tudor , was just 11 years old when the revolution broke out in his home city of Bucharest . He remembers spending days lying flat on the floor of his apartment block in the dark -- with the only light , or information about the revolution raging outside , coming from the television . Tanks from the nearby @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and the family could hear gunfire from their home . He recalls : " My mother put blankets and pillows on the floor and we all had to get down , and we stayed down there all day and night , watching everything that was happening on the TV . She knew if you can see the man with the gun , he can see you . " On 21 December , Radu 's father , along with all factory workers , was bussed into the main square of Bucharest , where Ceausescu was to give a speech -- a last-ditch attempt to rally his supporters . However , the crowd turned against the dictator , chanting " Timisoara " in support of the western Romanian town where demonstrations had already begun . Radu and his mother waited nervously at home . " My father came straight home after the speech , which was good because some people did n't come home from that position . " He looks up an address on Google Street View and points to deep marks which still remain around the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ " There is an apartment block near where I lived which still has bullet holes around a window on the tenth floor . A guy there had his lights on so he was shot at by snipers . " He adds : " These days were crazy . One neighbour came into the hallway and told everyone he had heard that the water supplies had been poisoned so we should n't drink it -- which was wrong , but we did n't know that , it was a rumour going around the city . My sisters , who were much older than me and were students at the time , had gone down to protest at the university and we did n't see them for two days . My mother was crying in the kitchen . " On the other side of Bucharest , Radu 's present-day wife Andreia , then 15 , had been left in charge of eight small children from her apartment block -- while their parents went out to demonstrate . " I can remember it clearly , " she says . " @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ people -- all got together and sat around the table . There was one guy who was a pilot and he admitted he had a bottle of whisky from abroad which would n't have been allowed before . He got it out and they all had one drink from it . Then they went out to the square . " " They did n't come back for two days and I had no idea where they were -- including my parents and my older brother , " she remembers . " At one point , I left the children in the apartment , told them not to open the door and went outside to see what was happening . I ca n't believe now that I did that , that I left them , but I was young and I wanted to know what was going on . We are all still friends , all of the children from that neighbourhood , and we laugh about it now . " She remembers : " When my parents came back , we sat in front of the TV , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . I could n't imagine what was going to happen , how things would be different -- would we have oranges all of the time or what ? " Radu believes that there are still questions to be asked about the revolution , 30 years on . Some people believe that outside influences started the uprising -- or that it was more of a coup d ' ? tat by lower members of the Communist Party who wanted to see Ceausescu removed . A trial over the deaths of 862 people -- which will see former president Ion Iliescu , former deputy prime minister Gelu Voican Voiculescu and former air force head Iosif Rus accused of crimes against humanity , finally began in November this year , almost 30 years after the fall of Communism . Elections held six months after the revolution voted in Iliescu , a former key figure in the Communist Party , who became leader of a new party , The National Salvation Front , as president . The trial , which will see more than 5,000 people testify , accuses Iliescu and his @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to take power , resulting in hundreds of unnecessary deaths . " The media would have you think that everyone hated Ceausescu , " Radu says . " But there were people who liked him , who thought he was doing good things . I am somewhere in the middle . Romania was the only country who paid off the national debt . We were producing -- cars , even aeroplanes -- although they were all sold abroad . " On the other hand , my mother was a teacher and my father was an engineer . If they were living here in Scotland , they would have been living comfortably . However , we were in poverty , even though everybody was working . " He adds : " What happened that day of the revolution was n't something extraordinary . The second level of the Communist Party took over the first level . I knew people who knew people who died that day . And I am not sure they the people who died knew what they were doing . " Andreia agrees . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ " They killed him too fast with no proper trial . We did n't get the chance to understand what happened . " However , the revolution came just in time for Radu 's family -- who had , unknowingly , begun to attract attention from the Securitate , Romania 's secret police . At the beginning of the Communist regime in the late 1940s , his mother 's family -- members of the wealthy elite -- had lost their fortune . " My grandfather on my mother 's side was a ' petit bourgeois ' , " he explains . " He was a landlord with 19 properties . Then one day , someone knocked at the door and said : ' Your houses are not your houses anymore . ' He then had to work as a porter -- he was on a blacklist for his entire life . After Communism fell , we tried to get the properties back , but we only managed to regain five . " But as the revolution approached , his mother 's family history was beginning to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ later that in September 1989 he was about to be approached by the Securitate about his wife 's family background , " he says . " Then the revolution took place . It was lucky for us that it did . " For Cristiana Osan , the revolution was also perfectly timed -- to escape a teacher 's demands for her to inform on her classmates . A star high school student in the small town of Dej in Transylvania , the then 15-year-old had been appointed head of her class . " The week before the Christmas holiday , one teacher called all of the class heads in to see him , " she recalls . " He was a fervent Communist , he had grown up in an orphanage and really believed Ceausescu was his ' father ' . At Christmas in Romania , we would traditionally all go out carolling together , but under Communism , religion was frowned upon . " He told all of the class heads that we had to make sure we went out carolling with the other students @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and report back to him with that list in the New Year . Up until that point , I had been quite protected by my parents -- that was the first time that I felt I was part of this Communist machine . " I went home from school in tears and told my parents I could n't do it . Then the next day , the revolution came . I was so relieved . I felt like it had happened just for me . " A previous Christmas during the Communist period had sparked another problem for the family . Osan 's father had received a Christmas card from a former colleague who had defected to America -- and been interrogated repeatedly by the authorities as a result . Links with Romanians living overseas were seen as a red flag by the state , who feared further defections . " I can remember the card vividly -- it was a musical one that played Jingle Bells . I 'd never seen anything like it before , " Osan recalls . " When we received it , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ called and interrogated about it . They would take him and question him , then the next week , he would be called again and asked the same things , to see if he gave the same story each time . " After Communism fell , Romanians were given the right to see their Securitate files . " My father 's file was huge , even though he generally kept out of everything , " recalls Osan , now a teacher in the city of Cluj , where she lives with her husband and son . " He could see which of his close friends had been informing on him for years . They were all given code names in the files and my father and his other friends still call one of them by his code name now -- they are still friends . They take the attitude that he had no choice -- what could he have done ? After the revolution there was a very strong feeling that there should be a fresh start . " Osan is adamant that young people in Romania @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is frustrated now by the attitudes of those who did not live through Communism who have developed a nostalgia for the past . " As a child I can remember hearing voices downstairs when I was supposed to be asleep -- it was my parents listening to Radio Free Europe . Although we never spoke about it , I knew that that was something I should never talk to anyone about . " She says : " It angers me when some people say that things used to be better under Communism . It was n't even just about the lack of food and the living conditions -- it was the fear . Even small kids like me knew that they were not to speak freely . " She adds : " At the time of the revolution , there was a photograph of students in Cluj holding up a blackboard with the words " Nu mai vrem Communismul nicodata " -- " We do n't want Communism ever again " . But I think that feeling has been lost somehow . " Like other eastern @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , although the change was slow . Sally Wood Lamont , a former librarian at Edinburgh University , first visited Romania in 1991 , just over a year after the revolution , to deliver books to restock Bucharest University 's library facilities , which were burned down during the uprising , destroying over 500,000 books . She recalls a country still blighted by food shortages , a state-run heating system which switched on domestic radiators only at night -- and had regular outages , leaving householders without heat or hot water in freezing conditions . " I remember one day having to queue for hours to buy a chicken and that was quite some time after the revolution , " says Wood Lamont , who settled in Romania permanently in November 1993 , where she set up the country 's ? first automated library at a university ? in Cluj-Napoca , and has established a long-running facility for disabled ? people in the city , as well as becoming head of Romania 's paralympic committee . " I was standing there , waiting for the chicken @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ too , were just empty . There was nothing in them which I , as a westerner , usually saw . I used to travel backwards and forwards to Scotland quite often in my Renault Trafic van at that time and I would pack it with things I could n't get , like good quality pasta . " She also picked up on a legacy from the informing culture fuelled by the secret police -- which often obtained information on people from neighbours . Wood adds : " I think a whole generation had to change before anyone started to trust other people . " 0comments Want to join the conversation ?

Alan Porter argues that investors should favour businesses that prioritise long-term capital investment rather than simply seeking out those paying high dividends In conversations with companies I keep returning to a familiar subject -- namely , how the significant cash piles , which they have amassed defensively in the years following the global financial crisis , are being used -- or perhaps more accurately , not being used . One might think that , as an income-focused investor , I always hope for greater dividend distributions , but this is far from the truth . Rather , it is more important for me to establish whether the dividend is sustainable , and this necessitates in-depth analysis of a company 's financials to ensure adequate future cover . In other words , a high payout ratio , or steep rise in the dividend , is not necessarily a desirable thing , should it suddenly evaporate when more challenging times arrive . Of the many variables I look at when assessing a company 's ability to generate sustainable returns into the long term , capital expenditure ( capex @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ are witnessing remains somewhat troubling . Indeed , although companies , by and large , have returned to good profitability in recent years ( with many boasting stronger balance sheets ) they have kept a lid on capex . This is undoubtedly an echo from the global financial crisis . In the near term , this naturally flatters a company 's profit and loss statement , and frees more funds for dividends and buybacks but , equally , it raises questions about longer-term growth . Sure , there are exceptions in less-capital-intensive industries , but it goes without saying that most businesses continually need to invest to protect their competitive position , and make sure that they are not capacity-constrained if and when demand picks up . Some observers may counter that an aggressive , but necessary retrenchment has already taken place . In particular , in the capex-heavy materials and energy sectors , which have been buffeted by the collapse in commodity prices . But there has been palpable caution elsewhere too . In some ways this is understandable , as the economic backdrop remains highly @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a multi-speed global economy . Additionally , there are many disruptive trends ( think ' clicks and mortar ' and cloud computing ) that make it difficult for businesses to rationalise some ' old economy ' investments . Specifically , with technology changing at such a rapid pace we are seeing more and more hardware capex shifting towards software operating expenditure . This trend away from physical investments may push the capex-intensity of GDP permanently lower . And , notably , many of the largest corporate cash piles are sitting at technology firms -- the Apples and Googles of this world -- which , on average , require smaller capex budgets than , let 's say , an oil and gas company , and also are constrained by the tax implications of bringing home their cash ( the bulk of which is kept offshore ) . Critically , China 's economic slowdown and efforts to steer the economy away from investment , towards consumption and services , could lead to a secular shift downward in capex . This undoubtedly has serious implications for capital goods and commodity-related @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that the supercycle concept that was bandied about a couple of years ago has lost its lustre . And the ripple effects from this are apparent . As an example , the European capital goods sector has seen a significant deceleration , to the point that it is now growing at a markedly slower pace than the global economy . There might be some hope that the replacement cycle -- many types of assets are getting old -- comes to the rescue , but I would not hold my breath here , as companies may try to get as much mileage as they can out of existing plants and equipment . As always , investment is a function of confidence , and therefore companies will want to see evidence that the global economy is escaping the doldrums before capex rebounds decisively . However , while valuations are by no means cheap , and firms on the whole remain reticent about their capital expenditure , it is still possible to find businesses that are deploying their cash sensibly . These are typically clustered in areas with strong secular growth @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . And , importantly , in a low-interest-rate world the hunger for yield is likely to remain strong , with investors at risk of chasing higher paying , but ultimately poor-quality , businesses . We do not let this environment cloud our focus on the sustainability of dividends , and tracking a company 's capex plans is integral to this analysis . |

I am going to make a Millennium Falcon scenery set to use with Star Wars Legion figures , that includes internal rooms and corridors . I aim to show that with a bit of imagination and skill great results can be gotten on a limited budget . A friend of mine pointed out that the original Millenium Falcon model made for the films was made from wood with bits of old tiger tank kits glued to it , so I 'm feeling a little better about having decided to make the legs out of wood . The sled bottoms of the legs are made by using wood glue to fix 2 cut prices of wood together , and reinforcing this with veneeer pins -- anything thicker might cause the wood to split . Care has to be taken to make sure no pins are where the wood will need drilling . Screws of the right length are selected , and I 'm using the biggest washers that will fit in the space to make sure the screw head @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ actual points of the screws to mark where the wooden legs need drilling . That way things should line up exactly . I use the hot glue gun again to fix the legs in place , and a screwdriver to tighten the screws in place -- it 's best not to use a powered screwdriver for this as it is easy to over tighten the screws and split the wood . After checking I am.happy with the height of the legs and the clearance left for the ramp , I decided to add struts to make the legs less " blocky " . These also help to reinforce the legs and ensure they do n't move -- the back legs have 2screws each so are pretty much set in place , but the front legs have only one screw each and they could rotate on this like a spindle if the glue ever fails . For these struts I used pencils cut to size with a razor saw . Pencils have 2 but advantages over dowling for jobs like this . 1- they are a lot cheaper @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ local pound shop will be fine , but dowel is very expensive and can only be bought in long lengths . 2-if you use hexagonal pencils you get a nice flat edge that makes gluing then to things much easier . Their disadvantage is that you get powdered graphite powder when you cut them , which can cause a mess if you do n't clear it is as you go . I 'm happy with how the struts add to the silhouette of the legs , and will look good once painted . Finally today I finish the ramp . I had initially planned something more complicated , and had wanted to be able to have figures placed on the ramp . But I realised that to have the angle of the ramp shallow enough to allow this I would have to vastly extend the length of the ramp so it stuck out beyond the edge of the ship , and that just would n't look like the falcon 's ramp . I take the price of the lower hull it out and saved previously @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . This will strengthen everything , and also mean I have a much larger surface area to glue to the ship . Once the ramp is glued to the ship and angled to meet the floor , I use pencils again to form the hydraulic supports on each side of the ramp . A few pieces of card finish things off to add a bit of texture that can be picked out later with a bit of drybrushing . I need to decide on The height of the new legs . They need to be tall enough to let The ramp open , and let people place figures on the ramp when playing a wargame . And if we are to be accurate to the films , short enough so a wookie has to duck down when walking up the ramp . The ship as it is is too low to let a ramp open properly . This height should be around right - adding about 3cm to the bottom of the existing legs moulded into the bottom hull . Now , given I am @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ I have to decide how they should look . I remember how the legs on the kenner Millenium Falcon looked when I was a kid , with pipework and hydraulics . I even priced some up on ebay , but decided they were too expensive , especially as I will have to weaken them by cutting them down to size . Another option would have been to 3d print something , but I do n't have access to that technology yet and I am not sure how strong 3d printed legs would be . Some 3d printed items seem to be made in " layers " rather than one solid piece , and those layers sometimes come apart from each other . 3d printing is probably the future of wargaming minis , but not something I know enough about yet to really pass on any knowledgeable opinions . Given that the new legs will only be about 3cm tall , they are going to be mostly hidden the shadow of the ship , I think I might get away with just using some solid wooden shapes that I @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the hull . This should be strong , and I can always add some surface details later to make them look more like the hydraulic legs of my kenner childhood Falcon . I briefly toyed with the idea of making thin shapes out of dowling glued together , but I need a core block of wood that is wide enough that I can attach it to the hull with a wood screw and washer . I have got to a stage where I can dispose of much of the gubbins I stripped out from inside the ship , knowing I will no longer need it . But rather than just throwing it away , I use a Dremel to remove any bits with warship details moulded into it that I might be able to reuse later .... This huge piece is no longer any use to the ship ... It used to hold a pivoting seat for a 5 " action figure But I manage to cut a computer bank and a doorway out of it using my dremel . They may come in useful later in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ box to use later on something else . The toy had very shallow legs moulded into the bottom hull that are not fall enough to let a ramp open properly . I fill in a lot of recessed screw holes with filler . When I gingerly drill pilot holes where I want the legs to go I realise just how thin and weak the plastic is on the bottom of the ship -- I need to strengthen this in some way , or adding legs is just going to snap the ship in two . I remove the lightweight filler I put into the leg decreases yesterday , and replace it with traditional wall filler which will be much stronger once dried . I do n't have easy access to metal plates , and do n't really wAnt to take up all the free space putting a wooden frame inside the ship . As I am renovating my house I found some offcuts of laminate flooring that is very strong while being relatively thin . I cut some shapes out of this to fit snuggly in the floor @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Once the laminate flooring is fitted I glue it in place with lots of not glue . I leave this overnight to set solid . I rebuild the from of the ship using layers of grey card . One of the reasons I got this toy ship so cheap on eBay was that this part of the ship was missing -- it should have had flaps that closed over where the nerf gun used to pop up . The roof is rebuilt using layers of grey card welded together with hot glue . To get the slope I want I make each layer slightly lower than the one below it ( like an Aztec pryamid ) then fill in the stepped slope with filler . Next I have to glue the circular turret gun housing back in place -- easier said than done as I have removed a lot of the structure it used fit into . Not pretty , but filling any big gaps with a card frame , my hot glue gun comes to the rescue yet again . I can tidy this up @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ I can see how much space space I have to play with . Not too , bad ... I have to cut away some struts and card to let the roof sit flat again with the bottom of the round turret taking up more space than I expected . Then first task today was sealing any rough edges from yesterday with grey card . There a few areas of bare filler showing , but they should be covered by the corridor floor panels later . After that it was important to start on the roof of the falcon . I need this fitting nicely so I can see how high the walls dividing the internal space into rooms can be . I created a card ledge about half a centimetre wide around the hull of the ship , so the roof can sit on this without any bit gaps showing . The Dremel cutting disc is about 1mm wide so some gaps ca n't be avoided , but the ledge should help stop light showing through these too badly . I added some card panels to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ cut it out . I needed to add some.other panels in random places so the whole roof looks the same , and this should add some extra texture and variation in panel height once painted . I figure every time the Falcon takes blaster damage Chewie would just weld on another panel to repair the hole , so the panels could be overlapping in places . I also started the process of filling in the large hole left when I removed the unwanted nerf gun . I build up a lattice of grey card , and this should be quite strong once the hot glue sets solid overnight . Then I will be able to start rebuilding the front section of the roof without fear of it collapsing under it 's own weight . Filling the large hole where the nerf gun used to be should also give some much needed strength to the front roof area . Finally , I have a quick trial fit of the roof to make sure if still fits nicely on the hull after I added the card ledge for it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ check what you did the previous day in the morning ... I 'm not building an accurate diorama that perfectly recreates the Millenium Falcon in miniature . I 'm building a wargaming price that represents it , and it has to be fun to play wargames in . That means my star wars legion figures have to be able to fit easily into The spaces and passageways I 'm making . So , I made some mistakes yesterday . In order to keep the nice circular shape of the central corridor I made the path leading to the right hand airlock too narrow -- I wanted the corridor to be single-file narrow , but it needs to be slightly wider than an Star Wars Legion infantry base . And the preformed arches , while looking good , stop you from placing a figure in them . Also the circular arch need the cockpit is taking up too much space where the ramp has to go . Darn .... Problems . The corridors widened easily enough by adding a small cardboard " retaining wall " @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ back the arches is more worrying , as once they are cut there is no changing my mind . I 'm going to try to cut them so they match the shape of the wedge of hull above them ..... But " I have a bad feeling about this " .... .... But it worked out fine . The archway are more like wedge shaped crossesections in one of those books showing cutaways of stars Wars vehicles now . But my wookie and storm trooper are finding it much easier to move around the ship without banging their heads . I 've cut out the hole for the ramp , which will also give me better access to the space behind the cockpit that I still need to tidy up . The cut out piece will become the bottom of the sloping ramp -- I cut it so about a centimetre of the sloping bull bottom is still attached to the edges -- this helps make the access hole a bit wider , and the ramp a bit more rigid than a flat 2d shape would have @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Wookie and storm trooper inform me that it is Life Day tomorrow , so they want to down tools and go to the space pub to celebrate , so I 'll sign off and get back to work after the holiday . When rebuilding something like this , there is a balance between what you want to do , and what is sensible . I decided to put the 2 grey plastic inserts back in their original position so they could strengthen the now quite flimsy hull , and act as supportable the removable roof later . I did cut the backs off them so they will now act as doorways to the rest of the ship instead of being alcoves . As I fix elements into the ship , I also cut away any plastic supports that are no longer needed with a dremmel , then smoothing down with a file and then sandpaper . Next I rebuilt the side walls of the falcon . This involved cutting the top half of the walls away from the top half of the hull . A hot glue gun @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in place , as it also can be used to fill voids and gaps , and when dry adds some strength to the hull . The sections with the cockpit and the round docking hatches are cut into a shape that will cover the top of the previously fixed grey inserts . I decided to leave a " lip " of hull round the top edges of the walls , as I want the ship to be recognisable as the Millenium Falcon even when the lid is removed . I 'm quite glad with the way the curved corridor to the cockpit is shaping up -- I consider that quite an iconic part of Han Solo 's ship so I wanted to include that in my model . The next thing I feel any Millenium Falcon needs is a central tube leading to the guns , and a circular passageway around that . This is done using some thick cardboard tubes and grey board hot glued into place . I make a cardboard frame to support the walkway , and lightweight filler is used to.fill that frame before @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ be a perfect fit , as later stages should cover up.any small gaps . I decided to raise the corridor not only to give a nice flat surface for my figures to stand on , but also so the central column could drop down deeper as if descending to the bottom hull gun . I 'm quite keen to have lots of changes in level , as I think this will make the finished model feel like a cramped freighter with the rooms shoe horned in between the mechanics of the ship . Grey card is quite strong , especially if layered , but the lightweight filler is important as it ensures he eventual shapes are solid and ca n't cope or crease . For the time being I 'm adding " vital ekements " -- later I will decide on the layout of other rooms when I see how much space is left . I decided on a half-circular corridor , rather than fully encircling the central pillar , to save space . I can always add the other half of the corridor later if I decide if @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ card you can buy from picture framers as it 's used as the backing to framed pictures . It 's a lot stronger and cheaper than foam board , and comes in bigger sheets . As always , it might have a different name in different parts of the world ) . I decided it would be easier to prime the hull in parts rather than doing it first , as I am going to have to scratch build several missing bits later , and I want the colours to match . Mostly dismantling the ship is about unscrewing everything I can , and using a flat header screwdriver to lever out the snap-fit parts . There was a nice seat I wanted to reuse and cut down to be the right scale , but it was resin glued in place to I had to destroy that to remove it from the floor . The most important tip here is to keep all the screws somewhere safe so you can find them again when you start reassembling the ship . The Falcon put up a bit @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ together which I suspect had been a home repair . While it 's a bit early to think about a detailed room layout , I 'm starting to think about which parts I might reuse to reinstate a bit of structural strength and hold the roof on . There 's a nice arch I want to reuse that as a bonus covers the battery compartment , so I wo n't have to weaken the floor by cutting that out . There 's also a smug i.e.glers hidden compartment I 'd like to save , and I have to think about how the cockpit cannopy is going to attach to the rest of the ship -- there 's a hinge there already that I might as well reuse , but that does mean I 'll probably separate that from the rest of the roof and glue that in place permanently as an arched corridor leading to the cockpit . The ramp is going to be difficult to do without weakening the floor . As nice as it would be to make it able to open and close , it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ fixed in the open position . I 'll put these vital elements in place , strip out any unneeded walls and clutter with a dremmel , and then design a floor plan around that when I see what space is left . The first thing to do , is to buy a plastic toy Millennium Falcon to strip down to use as the basic hull for this project . The kenner toys from the 1970 's would have been ideal , but my funds are limited and those have become very expensive collectors items . More recent Millennium Falcon toys are more affordable , and I managed to find a damaged second hand one on ebay for under a tenner . As at some stage I will probably be cutting it up that was ideal for my purposes . Luckily when it arrived the scale seems right -- I wanted to be able to stand 3-4 figures in the cockpit to be able to recreate those classic star wars scenes . It has n't got legs or an opening ramp like the older kenner toys had @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , and it has a large Nerf gun that , ... ahem , ... Is n't Canon ? ? So that needs removing . The hatches that are meant to hide the gun are missing , so I will have to rebuild that part of the ship 's roof . Also , I want my Falcon to look complete , but to be able to remove the top roof to reveal the realistic insides of the ship , so it 's going to need a removable lid for the whole ship -- currently only the back half lifts off . Until I get it stripped down into parts and I can see how it 's constructed I am not sure exactly how I am going to do that .... If things go very badly my fall back position is to too make a crumpled crashed spaceship scenery price out of the toy if it just falls apart and loses all structural integrity once I start cutting bits off it -- these toys are normally made as cheaply as possible and cutting a ramp out of the floor and cutting @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ support if plastic is too flimsy. |

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. It lacks an NP object and a VP2[-ing] predicate, and it does not induce either a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it uses 'out of' in a different context, meaning to maximize or utilize something fully.

A Coventry family is hoping for a life changing -- and life-saving -- Christmas gift this year . Darren Slack , 52 , is facing his second Christmas on the waiting list for a new heart . The former HGV driver suffered a heart attack in October 2017 . His family have spoken out to raise awareness of the organ donor register -- and the incredible legacy you could have if the worst happened . More than 100 people across Coventry and Warwickshire are waiting for a transplant . Across the UK , that number rises to more than 6,000 -- including 185 children . Darren 's wife Kerry said she knows the enormity of what her family is asking . " We know that for us not to have to face the worst thing possible that someone else will have to face it , " she said . " It 's a difficult situation . But it would mean everything to us .

The pair , now both in their 50s , have been together since they were teenagers and live in Wyken . Darren has been fitted with a left ventricular assist device ( LVAD ) , which Kerry said is crucial if he is to survive the wait for a new heart . The device is attached to a battery , and has to be plugged into the mains to charge at night . " We try to stay positive , " she said . " Darren is incredible . We just want to make the best out of everything we can . " Kerry @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ into heart conditions by running marathons and half-marathons -- and they are hugely grateful for Darren 's ongoing care and the support from Kerry 's employers at UHCW .

" He might not have survived this . Darren loved his job as a HGV driver , and his employers looked after him as long as they could , but they had to retire him on medical grounds . He has n't worked since it happened . " It 's a constant battle to keep him well enough to have a transplant if the opportunity came up . " It would mean he could have his life back .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'take the time and effort out of keeping the kids busy' does not involve a clear causer and causee relationship, nor does it induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it seems to describe a general action of removing time and effort from an activity, which does not align with the properties of the transitive out of -ing construction.

The mum of two spent hours collecting all the information from the Freeview TV guides to collate all the information into a handy graphic . Believe us when we say this will be a life saver - from Ice Age to the Grinch and all of those festive favourites you may have forgotten , entertaining the kids is one less thing you have to worry about this week . You can either print or cut out the below , or save it to your phone as an easy guide to refer to in times of trouble ! Rhian 's organisational skills are well known amongst local parenting circles , so much so that she created Warwickshire Kids , a parenting resource which lists all of the local events that are happening for families . It is something she does for free on the side of her actual job in marketing , and the motivation behind it came from when she relocated with her family from London to Rugby and did n't want to miss out on anything . " I created @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Radio Times , and highlighting the things that my kids would like to watch . I realised that , like some of the other checklists I have created previously , a print out for the fridge would save a lot of time and effort , so I designed it myself . " I 'm a planning nerd and a parent of two kids , so I basically share stuff that I create for myself because it does n't already exist . Things like planners or checklists of things to do etc . " My friends have always wanted copies , so I thought I 'd create the Warwickshire Kids resource as I knew other parents found it useful ! " And what would Rhian recommend when it comes to organising family life ? " Having my own kids has helped me to realised that the key to parenting is to be organised , and if I ever leave anything to last minute we either miss out on stuff , or I get myself all stressed @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ take the time and effort out of keeping the kids busy , and in the process I 'm finding lots of events and small businesses for my own family .

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, it uses 'got a lot of joy out of learning', where 'learning' is part of a prepositional phrase and does not function as a VP2[-ing] predicate with a causee. Additionally, there is no NP object that functions as a causee, and the sentence does not induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation.

It can be tricky getting a pet to pose for a painting , but that 's a good side hustle to earn some extra cash ( Photo : Dan Kitwood/Getty ) After a long day at work , you might get home , put your feet up , pour a glass of wine and switch on the TV . But if you 're one of the 42 per cent of students and recent graduates with a " side hustle " , you get home , skip the BBC drama , and roll your sleeves up . Sideline jobs are nothing new , but more young people than ever are taking on extra work , with the graduate jobs board Milkround reporting that the average side-hustler earns an extra ? 3,393 a year on top of their annual income .

Late nights repairing and packaging bracelets and necklaces instead of relaxing " can be tiring " , he says , but it 's worth it . " It 's exciting when you come across something that 's worth a chunky amount that you 've paid a couple of quid for . " He recently used the extra income for his wedding .

Others have more unusual second jobs . Amy Key , who works as a head of engagement in the public sector , never thought she 'd have a side hustle painting pets . It started as a joke when she painted " a deranged portrait " of her friend 's dog Morris - but now she takes commissions .

" Above @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ got a lot of joy out of learning to do something new and found I was not worrying about the success of my peers .

" As long as I keep feeling like I 'm learning more about painting and getting pleasure from the privilege of painting people 's beloved pets , I 'll keep hustling. " |

This was as poor as they have been , especially in the first half , which was hugely disappointing in itself . But defeat and the manner of their performance also brought back into sharp focus the disappointment of five days earlier , when they dropped two points at Crystal Palace . And indeed a handful of similar occasions . They have to make the best of days when they are good . Because they will not always be good . The Seagulls remain on 20 points , five clear of 18th place , when it seemed for a while last Monday they were heading for 22 by Christmas . Before that came Wolves , when the 2-2 draw was probably fair but the hosts were 2-1 up and had a moment to make it 3-1 before gifting a chance for their opponents to equalise . Graham Potter was honest about his team 's performance on Saturday , his own decisions and the good work of a United side who remain unbeaten away from home as they look forward to the Etihad on their next trip . The disappointment for Albion was @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ hit at Selhurst Park . Potter said : " It 's a different game . How Crystal Palace defend is more of a zonal set-up . You can build your attacks a little bit more . " Sheffield United are a bit more man-focused so you have n't got quite the space . The tactical set-up is a 5-3-2 as opposed to a 4-3-3 so there are lots of differences there . " But , ultimately , we did n't play as well as we would like . " They do what they do well . I have to give credit to them . " They are unbeaten in the Premier League . We are not the only team in the Premier League who have found it difficult to play against them at home . " Chris Wilder actually felt his side were below their best in terms of what they did with the ball . But they were very effective without it . Their shape and set-up left Albion looking hesitant in possession . Too many easy passes went astray and they @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of them . Their unease spread to the stands . " It did n't take long , did it ? " Potter said . " It was about 20 minutes before the pressure comes and that is something for us to deal with as a group , as a team . " If we think we are going to turn up at the Amex and just start passing through teams at this level , that is a concern because it does n't happen that easily . " United attack quite direct , they attack down the side and they can overload you . There is a feeling of stress . It is not quite as controlled as you would like it to be . That is the challenge for us , trying to find a way through and we did n't . " All that said , a bit of route one did not harm the Blades as they went ahead . McBurnie latched on to a long ball by Henderson , got the better of Adam Webster and bounced off a Lewis Dunk challenge @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ near post . By then , both sides had seen a goal ruled out . Video ref Michael Oliver noticed John Egan had used his arm in forcing home an eighth-minute corner which Maty Ryan missed in flight . The flag went up in more time-honoured fashion against Martin Montoya as he set up a Neal Maupay tap-in after Henderson parried Aaron Mooy 's shot into his path . " We could have done one or two things . It was n't necessarily down to the individuals who were brought off . It was more trying to change the dynamic of the game . " That is my responsibility and I take responsibility for that . It was n't good enough in the first half . " But the hosts should have quickly been dead when McGoldrick seized on an error by the dithering Webster , rounded Ryan and missed an open goal . Ryan had a dodgy moment when he dropped Egan 's header from an Oliver Norwood free-kick at the feet of Jack O'Connell , who put away the rebound . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ offside and Albion were still alive . The closest they got to making the most of that was after Dale Stephens threaded a pass which was out of keeping with much of the afternoon . Connolly , the recipient , got the ball out from under his feet before curling a shot which Henderson tipped over . That might have been the cue for a big finish . Instead , sub Lys Mousset and McGoldrick almost gave them insurance of a second goal . They never really looked like needing it .

The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate ('it be so immediately distracting to pull me out of watching the film'). It also fits the movement/extraction interpretation, where the distraction causes the speaker to move out of the state of watching the film.

The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate ('had it be so immediately distracting to pull me out of watching the film'). It involves a movement/extraction interpretation where the distraction causes the speaker to move out of the state of watching the film. The verb 'pull' fits into the category of exerting force or pressure, and the NP object 'me' functions as a causee participating in the event described by the VP2[-ing] predicate 'watching the film'.

CHRISTMAS should be a time of happiness , charity and wanton over-indulgence . Yet as the big day approaches , its sparkle has been somewhat diminished by the political events of the last few months . The general election loomed large over December , drowning out the music and magic of the season . With the passage of the Withdrawal Agreement , the Brexit process will begin on the 31st of January . There is fierce disagreement among politicians and commentators about when it will be " done " but some suggest it will be around the time people stop using the word Brexit in everyday conversation . Many are pessimistic about what 2020 will bring , but they should fear not . Snuggled between the doom and gloom there are plenty of reasons to be cheerful . Squint hard enough and you 'll see them . Those who dislike Boris Johnson should take comfort in the fact that he will have a miserable New Year . Yes , he has a stonking majority which affords him all the power of the final boss in a video game , but that presents its own @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ things , but work ethic is not one of them . The hardest Boris Johnson has ever grafted was when he wrote two pieces setting out his pro-remain , pro-leave stance on Brexit for his newspaper column . In 2020 Boris Johnson can not skulk into TV studios pointing at members of parliament and wailing " do n't blame me , the big boys did it ! " His successes will be his own , but so too will his failures . Given he 's a man that often struggles to button up his shirt correctly I think we all know which way that scale will tip . In the New Year we will see the battle between Holyrood and Westminster over a second Scottish independence referendum intensify considerably . As Johnson and Sturgeon square off in a game of ' ' my mandate is better than your mandate ' ' few believe that Boris Johnson will enclose a Section 30 order with his Christmas card to the First Minister . Scotland - which has had another Conservative prime minister forced upon it that it did @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ festive cheer or hopeful for what the new decade will bring . But there is hope . Scotland has a lifeboat from Brexit ready to be boarded , in the form of another referendum on independence . The fact that said lifeboat is currently being held - chained and padlocked - in a UK government dock should not concern supporters of independence too much . Boris Johnson has the only key , and he 's forever losing things and forgetting where he put them . Like his principles , his wives and his undisclosed number of children . Comedy lovers too , have much to look forward to in the year ahead . The Labour party is having a leadership election and we all remember how well the last one went . After boldly declaring there would be a " period of reflection " in the wake of their disastrous general election performance , Labour are keen to prove that they have learned from their mistakes . To that end , the favoured Corbynista continuity candidate , Rebecca Long Bailey , has hired Momentum organiser @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ listened carefully to feedback from voters on the doorsteps ( and expressing confusion as to why they were never invited inside for a cup of tea ) Labour politicians have concluded that they will simply carry on as usual . Their talent pool might be greatly reduced but there are some competent would-be leaders to pick from on the backbenches . Alas , they are all Blairites . Labour party members simply wo n't countenance electing a leader that is too much like the last guy who won an election for them . Leadership hopeful Emily Thornberry is already campaigning in earnest . She is pitching herself as a strong leader that could ably stand up to Bullingdon bully-boy Boris . In a bid to show just how tough she is , Thornberry has threatened to sue former Labour MP and colleague Caroline Flint . Their row centres around a comment made by Flint , in which she claimed Thornberry had branded her constituents stupid . Giving us a taste of what we could expect from PMQs in the New Year , Thornberry said of the incident @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it 's true , I can take it on the chin . But they ca n't make up s*** about me -- and if they do , I have to take it to the courts . It 's ridiculous , absolutely ridiculous . I have better things to think about than people going on television and making up s*** . ' ' We can meet the end of the year with despair and dread for what 's to come , or we can learn what will be an invaluable skill in the new Brexit Britain and lower our expectations . No-deal is still a possible outcome and , in those circumstances , the prosperity that Boris Johnson has promised might prove as elusive as fresh food and medicines will be . Better to start off the New Year with as low a bar as possible and then if we make it to 2021 without rioting and a rationing programme , we can count it as a win . We should be grateful for small mercies . Like Jo Swinson , for example . In losing her seat @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ her getting anywhere near the nuclear button has been removed . Jo Swinson served as leader for a mere five months and now the LibDems have the unenviable task of finding somebody to replace her . It 's a process they will begin as soon as they have drawn lots to decide which poor souls will put themselves forward for the most unattractive job in politics . And if all that was n't enough to make you positively jubilant about politics in 2020 , there 's yet another reason to be cheerful . There is no justification to put Nigel Farage on television anymore . The moment the Brexit Party chickened out of standing candidates against the Conservatives in the general election , whatever influence it could be claimed he had was obliterated . The broadcasters who enjoy Farage 's bombastic performances may suffer withdrawals in the early months , but they will soon get over it . Their cravings will be sated when they tune into I 'm a Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here and see their beloved chowing down on a kangaroo testicle @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of the year that preceded it . While it may be stretching the case for optimism to suggest that things will get better , we should take comfort in the fact that they probably ca n't get much worse .

IT is surely the tipple at the bottom of anyone 's Christmas list during the season to be jolly . But water-based " mocktails " are vying with Prosecco and mulled wine for the attention of festive revellers this year after Scottish Water teamed up with one of Scotland 's leading bar groups . Mixology experts from Montpeliers are supporting Scottish Water 's Your Water Your Life campaign by designing a new range of themed water-based mocktails that anyone can make at home , including a Christmas Cooler and Santa 's Spritz . They say Scotland 's " soft " water with its low mineral content means it can absorb a huge amount of flavour from any ingredients added to it . The Santa 's Spritz is based on water infused with chai tea , lemon zest , freshly chopped strawberry and vanilla mixed in a glass with ice , freshly-squeezed lemon juice and sugar . Joey Medrington , group bar development manager at Edinburgh-based Montpeliers , said : " The best way to make @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Scotland 's tap water has the remarkable property of being able to absorb a huge amount of flavour molecules -- think of it like making a cup of tea : the longer you leave it to infuse the more flavour you 'll get . " This can be done very easily by adding the fruits or herbs you want to infuse into a large jar or bottle and leaving it in the fridge overnight , then straining off the next morning to produce delicious flavoured water . " The campaign follows on from promotions by lager giant Tennent 's , which has marketed its pints as containing " the freshest water from Loch Katrine ... topped up by the glorious Scottish rain " . In September whisky lovers were also urged to mix their favourite spirit with a new brand of " wild water " , Larkfire , costing ? 1 per can . The water is sourced from the Isle of Lewis in the Outer Hebrides where three-billion-year-old gneiss rock is said to give it a " unique softness and natural purity " , which @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ also became the first in the world to gain international approval from the Oral Health Foundation in November after Scottish Water submitted evidence showing it was linked to healthier teeth and gums . Brian Lironi , director of corporate affairs at Scottish Water , said the mocktails were a way of encouraging people to remain hydrated during the traditionally boozy party season , or to give drivers an alternative to plain water or soft drinks . The NHS recommends the people consume the equivalent of six to eight glasses of water per day , which can include water consumed in the form of tea or coffee . Drinking water is also associated with weight control as thirst is often mistaken for hunger . Mr Lironi said : " This range of new water-based mocktails shows what you can achieve with a few additions to our great and tasty tap water . " In the excitement and buzz around the festive season , the benefits of our tap water can easily be overlooked . " It can be a busy time for many -- shopping @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ usual -- so being well hydrated will boost energy levels whether you 're dashing around grabbing last minute gifts or partying with friends . " It 'll also keep you on form through the New Year and into 2020 . " We know that Christmas is a great time for celebrations , but keeping hydrated is key to enjoying the time responsibly and ensuring that everyone has a happy and healthy Christmas . Equally , these delicious water-based mocktails may aid those to stick by their New Year resolutions or a dry January goal , by providing more alternatives to an alcoholic drink . " Mr Medrington , whose Montpeliers group operates seven units in Edinburgh including Tigerlily and Candy Bar , also had tips for any would-be water mixologists at home . He said : " To create cocktails we need to add a few more steps to amplify that flavour . The best way to do that is to enhance the ' taste elements ' in our drink . By taste elements we mean sweet , sour , salt , bitter and umami . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ elements we can enhance the flavours of the fruits , herbs , teas and spices we use in our water to create truly delicious , Scottish Water-based cocktails .

The Lezyne Macro Plus GPS delivers on the basics you need a bike computer to do , but does n't really deliver on the promise of more-advanced functionality . The unintuitive interface left me confused and bewildered . Physically , the Macro Plus is fine -- it 's a solid unit with four buttons easily pressed with gloves on . As Steve found , the menus are written on the sides , and even after two months of near-daily use I found myself pressing the wrong buttons at the wrong times to do something as simple as start or end a ride -- not a good sign . The chunky design sits rather proud of the handlebar . Secured with a 90-degree push-and-turn mechanism , it never felt at risk of flying off . You can set the display up portrait or landscape , which is handy if bar space is limited . The initial setup is fairly intuitive , with no need to reference a manual . There 's a ' quick start ' guide included , which I read , but thereafter the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ said above , despite near-daily use on road , gravel or mountain bike , I 'd constantly forget which button to press to do even basic tasks such as starting or ending a ride . You 're supposed to press the button marked ' Lap/Down Arrow ' -- obviously . What was wrong with ' start/stop ' , I do n't know . I do n't claim to be the smartest bear , but having made a moderately-successful career out of playing with electronic devices , I was left wondering if I was losing what 's left of my marbles . Somewhat more intuitively , the Lezyne GPS Ally smartphone app lets you set up the device and individual bikes , create a Lezyne GPS Root account , add your Strava , TrainingPeaks or Today 's Plan accounts , and add Lezyne Track email accounts so family and friends can see your riding location live . To access a lot of this functionality you need to have the app open -- the GPS will put an alert on the screen if it ca n't see your phone or @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ' Navigation ' , and not having read any manual saying otherwise ( the Quick Start guide includes ' Navigation ' and ' Rerouting ' ) , I was led down a rather lengthy process of selecting , downloading , then trying to send to the GPS -- only to get an ' error sending to GPS ' message . Another User Experience design fail : even though the app knew it was connected to a non-map-download GPA model , it still let me get this far into the process . Yes , you can use the Lezyne GPS Ally app to plan your navigation , and the turn-by-turn arrows were easy enough to follow -- but at quickish cycling speeds it rapidly became a frustrating experience guessing which turn it meant in a built-up area . On long rural roads it fared better , but , as Steve found , was not bulletproof with wrong or phantom turnings , meaning after a while I just could n't trust it . Forget it for off-road navigation . Regarding physical setup , I first tried to pair a generic @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ many different phones and GPS units over the last five years . I was able to pair it OK , but there was no throughput of actual HRM data . Lezyne sent me one of its own straps to use , but that stopped working after a few rides , so it sent another . This worked well -- but you need to be aware that if you have previously paired the strap with , say , your phone , you ca n't then use it on the GPS unless you disconnect first . Rookie mistake . The ' phone alert ' integration is a feature I was looking forward to trying -- but was let down . Some messages and notifications came through , a mixture of SMS , IM or email , but appeared mangled , with text overwritten in different font sizes , so beyond knowing someone had sent you something , it was of little use . When you start up you can choose which bike you are riding at the time , and the preferences will be set to that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ bike name and odometer reading across the top of the screen overlap , rendering the distance illegible . How stuff this basic got out of the testing phase is beyond me . One feature that did work well was the live tracking . The moment you press record , if the phone/app is nearby and connected to mobile data , an email gets sent to nominated contacts inviting them to click on a link to view your location and a number of key stats in real time . Elevation , speed , temperature -- even heart rate -- were visible to others . Once back from a ride the GPS would auto-upload to Strava , but you need to keep the GPA and phone within Bluetooth distance for a few minutes at least to allow time for the ride data file to transmit . Given the information in even a long ride file is likely to be less than 1-2MB , why it takes around two minutes to upload is , again , beyond me . Throughout the testing period I was @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , to check distance accuracy and whatnot . Really , the only useful , regularly-usable feature I can say the Lezyne has over the Edge 500 would be the live tracking -- and even then , I have live tracking running 24/7 with my family via Apple 's Find My service and Google Map 's Location Sharing . Given you need a data-enabled smartphone to make the Lezyne service work , it 's kinda redundant unless you want to share ad-hoc with a friend who you do n't want to add to another ecosystem . Alternatives to the Macro Plus would be the likes of the Garmin Edge 25 , available for around ? 75 from various stores on clearance . The Edge 25 can do live tracking via the app , and being Garmin it will have a much clearer menu structure . If at the end of a design and engineering development cycle you release a product with poor user experience validation , you might as well have not released it at all . It rather feels like the Macro Plus has been rushed @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ' , but it seems the company has a major effort ahead of it to get software and user interface design up to the high bar set by Garmin . Overall , I was left unimpressed by the Lezyne Macro Plus GPS . There were just too many basic areas of functionality -- text display , menus , turn navigation , ride upload -- that were not at an acceptable standard , and the Bluetooth pairing issues were unforgivable . Five years ago I might have been impressed with the likes of live tracking via an app , but not now , and not for ? 100 . It 's OK as a basic GPS , but the more advanced functionality is too flaky to be of real value If you 're thinking of buying this product using a cashback deal why not use the road.cc Top Cashback page and get some top cashback while helping to support your favourite independent cycling website road.cc test report Make and model : Lezyne Macro Plus GPS cycling computer Size tested : 70.6 x 48.16 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ us what the product is for and who it 's aimed at . What do the manufacturers say about it ? How does that compare to your own feelings about it ? It 's for people wanting basic GPS ride recording functionality , with perhaps some other features enabled via a phone app . Lezyne says : " The Macro Plus GPS is the perfect device for casual to serious cyclists that just need the main essentials of a cycling GPS computer . New features include an optional horizontal orientation , an improved water resistant plug and enhanced styling . Its hardware and firmware have also been improved with a higher resolution screen and the ability to connect with our ' Smart Connect ' LED system . In addition to its full GPS recording capabilities , it fully ties in with our GPS platform when paired with our GPS Ally phone app .

Additionally , the Macro Plus @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ offers up to 28-hours of battery runtime . " How does the price compare to that of similar products in the market , including ones recently tested on road.cc ? For the functionalilty that actually worked reliably and easily , pretty much any GPS unit will do -- down to basic ? 25 ones on Amazon . You can get the excellent Garmin Edge 25 for ? 75 at Halfords , with live tracking via the Garmin Connect app and it does ANT+ too . Did you enjoy using the product ? Not really . Would you consider buying the product ? No Would you recommend the product to a friend ? No Use this box to explain your overall score Really , for ? 100 the user interface should be much , much better -- as should the software and pairing hardware . There are many other lower-priced devices out there doing a much better job . Could it be you are using an Iphone ? Well , I 've been using a Lezyne Enhanced Gps - the old top model @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ fine for my needs . Battery life is amazing , navigation is certainly ok and I find it really handy that you can instantly upload a route from your phone while riding . It only has arrow indications and street names for navigation but it works surprisingly well . You also get the distance to the next turn so what is the problem ? This Lezyne replaced a Garmin Edge 1000 where navigation never worked properly , and I mean never . I also wonder about your problems with starting and ending rides . Perhaps you have extremely poor memory , after a couple of rides I found it very easy to hit the right buttons . Uploading the rides , including strava , works flawlessly . The Mega XL GPS has navigation and a huge battery , as well as Ant+ . These three features for the extra cash would add up to an extra star , possibly one and a half for me , if I were looking for an all-day navigation device . But Dave notes the poor UI , the slow upload speed , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with poor UI . You have to live with it every single button press , and that 's just unforgivable in a ? 100 product . Lezyne can and should do better . Of course if people *are prepared to live with mangled notifications , a possibly ( to them ) unintuitive UI , lack of Ant+ , no navigation and slow uploads , the Macro Plus could be right up their alley . Every product is thoroughly tested for as long as it takes to get a real insight into whether it works or not .

The sentence 'New Line Cinema had made billions out of adapting J.' does not fit the transitive out of -ing construction. While it includes 'out of' followed by a gerund ('adapting'), the NP object 'billions' does not function as a causee, and there is no movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it seems to describe a means of making money, which does not align with the construction's properties.

( Image credit : Sony ) Where you can watch : Netflix ( UK ) The film : Ever wondered how Santa gets all his deliveries done in one night ? Well , Arthur Christmas has answered that question , taking a peek behind the North Pole curtain to reveal a massive , high-tech operation that employs hundreds of elves . They 're all stationed on the S-1 , a sleigh-esque spacecraft that 's a mile wide . It also happens to be the home of Arthur ( James McAvoy ) , Santa 's good-natured son , who discovers that -- for all its bells and whistles -- the S-1 has failed to deliver a little girl 's Christmas present . It 's down to him to rectify the situation and save Christmas . Why it 's worth a watch : Although it 's a 3D animated film , Arthur Christmas actually comes Aardman Animations , best known for making Wallace and Gromit and Chicken Run . They 're also a studio who we 've come to rely on when it comes to bringing both the humour @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in short supply of . ( Image credit : Columbia Pictures ) Where you can watch : Netflix ( UK ) The film : Yes , Ghostbusters II is a Christmas film . It takes place over the holiday period , with the climax happening on New Year 's Eve , and -- most importantly -- Bill Murray et al don Santa hats at one point . That said , the plot is maybe a little more Halloween-appropriate in tone , as the team must combat an infestation of ghostly slime and defeat the spirit of Vigo the Carpathian , a 16th-century tyrant who 's been haunting his portrait in the Manhattan Museum of Art . Why it 's worth a watch : Even if Ghostbusters II is n't as Christmassy as the other entries on this list , it 's a good enough excuse to spend some time with this unstoppable quartet of ' 80s comedians . Although the jokes are n't quite as sharp and the storytelling is a little creaky ( how exactly did Sigourney @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ art restorer in the space of five years ? ) , it 's still a blast watching Murray , Dan Aykroyd , Harold Ramis , and Ernie Hudson strap those proton packs on once more . ( Image credit : Disney ) Where you can watch : Disney Plus The film : It was a logical move for Disney . New Line Cinema had made billions out of adapting J. R. R. Tolkien 's Lord of the Rings books , so why not tackle the work of the author 's close friend , C.S. Lewis ? The Chronicles of Narnia were similar in tone , consisting of epic fantasy adventures that touched on religious allegory . The ploy seemed to work at first . The Lion , the Witch , and the Wardrobe made $745 million worldwide , but its sequels -- Prince Caspian and The Voyage of the Dawn Treader -- quickly stopped the franchise in its tracks . Why it 's worth a watch : @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ first film still deserves to become an annual holiday tradition . From the sight of Mr. Tumnus the faun , wrapped up in a hand-knit scarf , to the White Witch offering tea and Turkish Delights from her fur-swaddled sleigh -- everything about this film just screams Christmas . ( Image credit : Fox ) Where you can watch : Starz ( US ) , Amazon Prime ( UK ) The film : Admittedly , calling Brazil a Christmas film is pushing the boundaries a little bit . But it is , technically , set during the holiday period , even if all we see are the occasional background tree and one use of a Santa costume . You could even argue that when the film 's hero Sam Lowry ( Jonathan Pryce ) daydreams about himself as an angelic warrior , he 's actually imagining himself as a Christmas tree topping . Whatever the case , Brazil is the kind of Christmas film that 's ideal for anyone who feels a little cynical about the season . The film @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a dystopian , totalitarian government , whose idea of bureaucracy is absurd and utterly Kafkaesque . Merry Christmas ! Why it 's worth a watch : Terry Gilliam 's cult film beautifully interweaves bleak humour , romance , and fantasy -- packed all into one of the most immersive and detailed sci-fi worlds ever created . Even if it does n't fill you with holiday spirit , it 's still worth a watch . ( Image credit : Fox ) Where you can watch : Disney Plus The film : Miracle on 34th Street has the honour of being one of only a few films preserved in the Library of Congress , due to it being " culturally , historically or aesthetically significant " . The film sees the real Kris Kringle hired to play Santa at Macy 's flagship store in New York . No one believes him , so he sets out to convert the cynical , convince the city hidden he 's secretly a mystical , ageless being , and spread some much-needed @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ : Forget about the ' 90s remake -- this has everything you need . It takes a generous approach toward the season , acknowledging how easy it can be to get wrapped up in the rampaging consumerism and stress of last-minute presents shopping .

( Image credit : Netflix ) Where you can watch : Netflix ( US/UK ) The film : Klaus has the honour of being Netflix 's first original animated feature . It makes sense that they 'd go for a Christmas film , since there 's always been such a time-honoured tradition of holiday-themed animations -- think 1964 's stop-motion version of Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer or 1982 's The Snowman . This film offers a new origin story for Santa Claus , dealing with a postman who befriends a reclusive toymaker . Why @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ film on this list , which makes it a great option if you 're a cinephile and a Christmas enthusiast who might have run out of things to watch . And , although it 's always a little early to decide these things , Klaus really does have the makings of a future classic . It 's a traditionally-animated film that looks absolutely gorgeous , with a sweet sentimentality that harkens back to the Disney Renaissance of the ' 90s. ( Image credit : StudioCanal ) Where you can watch : Amazon Prime ( UK ) The film : Although its story is n't strictly about Christmas , there are few films that better capture the real meaning of the holiday -- as a time to come together and to show each other generosity .

Yet he 's soon targeted by a vicious taxidermist @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ add him to her collection . Why it 's worth a watch : Paddington remains one of the most heartfelt children 's films of the decade , surpassed only by its ( comparatively non-Christmassy ) sequel . With gentle wit and good , old-fashioned British manners , it teaches children everywhere to welcome the world in with open arms and fight xenophobia in whatever form it may take -- even if it 's wrapped up in an anti-bear agenda . ( Image credit : Paramount pictures ) Where you can watch : Amazon Prime ( UK ) The film : Bill Murray , Hollywood 's favourite grump , was born to play Ebenezer Scrooge . This ' 80s comedy , however , gives Dickens ' classic a modern spin -- Scrooge is now Frank Cross , a sardonic , outwardly cruel TV executive .

He 's visited by the ghost of his @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that three more spirits will appear in order to warn Frank of the future and save his soul . Why it 's worth a watch : Murray and his trademark cocktail of dry sarcasm , melancholy , and rage might dominate the film , but there are still plenty of inventive twists to be found here . Chief among them is Carol Kane 's Ghost of Christmas Present , who sugar-laced voice hides a violent streak . Karen Allen , best known for her role as Marion Ravenwood in Raiders of the Lost Ark , also makes for an adorable love interest . ( Image credit : StudioCanal ) Where you can watch : HBO ( US ) , Amazon Prime ( UK ) The film : Although Love Actually may have its fair share of detractors , what 's certain is that there is no other Christmas film quite as British as this .

On the one hand , the cute vs. creepy factor of Andrew Lincoln 's Mark turning up on his best friend 's doorstep to try and woo his wife has been the subject of many a heated debate . On the other hand , it 's impossible not to cry while Emma Thompson excuses herself on Christmas Day to weep over the discovery of her husband 's affair -- before plastering a smile on her face and getting back to her motherly duties . ( Image credit : Disney ) Where you can watch : Disney+ The film : Tim Burton has created a handy dual-purpose film here , applicable both to the Halloween and Christmas seasons -- in fact , it 's appropriate to watch at any point between August and January . Based on a poem written by the director , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ own world . When Jack Skellington , the King of Halloweentown , stumbles on Christmastown , his ensuing obsession threatens disaster for all . Why it 's worth a watch : Burton 's creations have taken on a life of their own . The film was , at first , buried by Disney , who thought it was too dark for children and released it under their Touchstone Pictures label . But the film 's ghoulish sensibility and daring originality meant people took notice and , soon enough , Jack Skellington had become a mascot for goth teens everywhere .

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). It lacks an NP object and a VP2[-ing] predicate, and it does not induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it uses 'out of' in a different context, comparing the music to other things the speaker has done.

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). Instead, it uses 'made careers out of excusing', where 'excusing' is part of a gerund phrase modifying 'careers', not indicating a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. The NP object 'careers' does not function as a causee, and the construction does not induce the required interpretations.

The last thing Labour needs is continuity in its quest for a leader who is n't embarrassed to be a patriot , says Euan McColm When Jeremy Corbyn became leader of the Labour Party in 2015 , he promised a new kind of politics . He certainly delivered that . Now in the grip of a hard-left cabal , Corbyn 's party is a sectarian mess , a safe place for anti-Semites and crank conspiracists . But the leader of the Opposition has n't succeeded only in creating a new kind of politics . He has also introduced a new way of losing elections . Clinging to leadership There was a time when a leader so comprehensively humiliated in a general election would have resigned immediately , offering profound apologies to all in his party who had been failed by him . Corbyn 's different kind of defeat has involved him clinging on to the leadership , arguing -- pathetically -- that Labour won @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the party 's election disaster are signed up to permanent contracts , protecting them from the fate -- redundancy -- that is now befalling scores of junior staffers . Corbyn says he is remaining in place so that the party can go through a period of reflection on its defeat . Once it is clear what went wrong , he 'll shuffle off and a leadership election will tasked place . This is all bulls**t , of course . Ask any Labour activist why the party lost the general election and , if they are honest , they will tell you that the party 's biggest problem was Corbyn . Time and again while canvassing , candidates were told by voters -- many of whom had backed Labour all their lives -- that they simply could n't support the party while he was in charge . Among the reasons were anti-Semitism in the Labour Party , a manifesto full of promises that appeared wildly unaffordable , and the leader 's record of siding -- throughout history -- with the United Kingdom 's enemies . Scottish Labour @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ members to persuade themselves that among those who are tipped to run for the top job there are credible candidates who will turn round the party 's fortunes . Labour in Scotland has been in crisis for more than a decade . The SNP has slipped into the political space once occupied by its opponents . This will soon change if members make a foolish decision when it comes to choosing the new leader . In the immediate aftermath of the general election , there was much chatter about the need for Labour to choose a leader who was both northern and female . The logic ran that voters who had turned their nose up at a London-based leader would return if the leader was someone with whom they could more easily identify . This is nonsense . Voters in the north of England who turned from Corbyn decided to put their faith in Boris Johnson . The flatness of the Labour leader 's vowels has nothing to do with their decision . The Corbyn continuity candidate in the coming leadership election campaign will probably @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ who was 100 per cent behind the sainted Jeremy , even when it was clear he was unfit for office . The importance of patriotism Long Bailey will face challenges from Sir Keir Starmer and Emily Thornberry , neither of whom has done much to make one think they can turn Labour 's fortunes around . Both seem as distant from the voting public as Corbyn ever did . And both , I 'm afraid , are tainted by playing central roles in supporting the Corbyn project which has been so roundly rejected by the electorate . Labour 's media outriders , those columnists and pundits who made careers out of excusing Corbyn 's associations with terrorists and his failure to deal adequately with anti-Semitism , really struggle to deal with the popularity of Johnson with a significant number of working class voters . At the heart of their confusion lies one of the big problems with the Corbyn project -- the failure of its adherents to recognise the importance of patriotism . In dismissing anyone who declares even the slightest affection for the country @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ offends the small " c " conservative voter who thinks the UK has often been a force for good . Accepting this reality is crucial to the Labour Party 's survival . Swathes of the Labour membership will continue to delude themselves that their man won the argument and that what is needed is a new face to present ideas put forward by Corbyn . But smarter activists will think carefully about how Labour can rebuild a connection with voters who have abandoned the party . The first step in this process is accepting that Labour can not expect the voters to come to the party . Rather , the party must go to them . Social democrat The new leader should be a social democrat rather than a revolutionary socialist , someone who is n't ashamed to sing the national anthem , and someone who is as untainted as it is possible to be by association with Corbyn . Were I a member of the Labour Party with a vested interest in its survival , I 'd be encouraging Dan Jarvis to step @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ about as a possible challenger for the leadership when Ed Miliband quit in 2015 . Instead of stepping into that fight , Jarvis -- MP for Barnsley Central -- turned his attention to his local area , campaigning successfully to become mayor of the Sheffield City Region . Jarvis succeeded in the mayoral battle on his own terms , without the patronage of Corbyn . Recently , Jarvis said it was time for Labour to make a " clean break " with the Corbyn era . That politics had failed , he said , and it was time to start rebuilding credibility . Unsurprisingly , Corbynistas were horrified by Jarvis 's remarks . He is not one of them , after all , and is therefore to be treated with a mixture of suspicion and contempt . But Jarvis was right . Labour 's credibility has been shot to Hell by Jeremy Corbyn and a fresh start is essential . If Dan Jarvis does enter the leadership race , he 'll start as an outsider , but if he can reach out beyond the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , he may force Labour members to ask themselves whether it 's time to think about how they start winning again . 0comments Want to join the conversation ?

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, it mentions 'Saul out of Breaking Bad' as a reference to a character, not as part of the transitive out of -ing construction. There is no V1 verb acting on an NP object with an out of VP2[-ing] predicate that would induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation.

The German word ' wagen ' has two meanings . When it starts with a big ' W ' it 's a noun which means car , van or , as you might expect , wagon . Bung a ' Gel ? nde ' on the front of it and you 've got land wagon . When ' wagen ' starts with a small ' w ' , however , it 's a verb meaning to venture , or rove . So you could say that one possible translation of Mercedes ' Gel ? ndewagen , or G-Wagen as it was abbreviated , is land rover . Hmm . 2019 is , or was if you 're reading this in January , the 40th anniversary of the launch of the G-Wagen . That makes it a mere youngster compared to the original Land Rover , but you suspect that even Saul out of Breaking Bad would n't bother taking on a copyright suit against Mercedes at this late stage . He 'd struggle to win because @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ purchase of Unimog , which had been going since 1948 - which is when the first Landie was launched . Mercedes called it the G-Class from the mid-1990s anyway , so case closed , ish . Instead , let 's just celebrate the fact that there are two genuine titans in this go-anywhere niche . M-B 's creation first appeared in 1973 as a mock-up that , given its blocky style , could probably have been chipped out of a lump of hardwood by a year 11 student wielding a mallet and a blunt chisel . The frontline designer of the G-Wagen was Erich Ledwinka , whose dad Hans worked for both Steyr and Tatra and who was credited with coming up with the backbone chassis . Before the G-Wagen , Erich designed the brilliant Haflinger and Pinzgauer go-anywhere vehicles , which explains why the original project name for the G-Wagen was H2 - ' Haflinger 2 ' . Steyr-Daimler-Puch and Mercedes-Benz shared the manufacture of the G-Wagen , Daimler-Benz supplying most of the big stuff - engines , transmissions , axles , steering bits and some @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ smaller panels , the transfer case , and final assembly . Six years after that wooden mock-up , in 1979 , the first hand-built Gs - model designation W460 - began to lumber out of the Graz works in three body formats : one four-door long-wheelbase wagon and two short-wheelbasers , a three-door wagon and a two-door convertible . You could also get either of the wagons as a van . The initial engine range consisted of two petrols - the 230G four with either 90hp or 125hp , joined in 1980 by a 150hp 280GE inline-six - and three diesels : a 71hp 2.4 four-pot in the 240GD , an 83hp 2.5 inline-five in the 250GD , and an 87hp 3.0 inline-five in the 300GD . The Shah of Iran had opened up M-B 's corporate eyes to the G 's military potential , having talked about them as a Benz shareholder in the early 1970s and then ordered 20,000 of them in 1975 when he was feeling a bit insecure about his political position . Quite rightly as it turned out , because the Islamic @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 1982 the G had transitioned from carburettors to fuel injection . In 1983 , Jacky Ickx proved the strength and ruggedness of the W460 by winning the Paris-Dakar in a tweaked-to-220hp 230GE . Mercedes was soon offering plenty of posh options including an automatic transmission , aircon , cruise and ABS . When ABS became standard , so did full-time 4WD . The revised-chassis W463 of 1990 brought three electronically-locking differentials and a major interior upgrade that moved the G some distance away from its utilitarian roots , the previous Range Rover-like interior of plastic and cloth giving way to wood and leather . A ' semi-pro ' W461 version was launched at the same time as the W463 and ran to 2001 . Aimed at service users it came with the choice of a 125hp 230GE petrol or 95hp 290GD diesel ( replaced in 1998 by a 123hp 290GD TD turbodiesel ) , and had plenty of cool options designed to make life easy in difficult terrains , such as a fuel filler that would allow easy canister refuelling , a separate base-plate for the jack , and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ bone-dry climates . In 1993 the first eight-cylinder G arrived in the shape of the 241hp 500GE , of which 500 were made . At around this time the new M-B designation protocol came into force , so the 300GE became the G300 , the 350GD Turbo Diesel became the G300 Turbo Diesel , and the 500GE became the G500 . In 1999 the G55 came along : that was the first AMG model . Two years after that exports to the USA began , cementing the shift towards V8 power , not just in petrols but also diesel in the 4.0-litre G400 . In 2007 the GL-Class was released . It was supposed to be a luxury SUV replacement for the G-Wagen/G-Class , but in another weird parallel with Land Rover , and specifically the Defender , the old G refused to die . It just got madder , with offshoots such as the six-wheeled G63 AMG 6x6 in 2013 , the ? 172,000 621hp V12 G65 of 2016 and the ? 613,000 Maybach G65 ' laundelet ' . What vintage of G-Wagen ( or @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ its long lifespan ? You can still buy new off-the-peg Gs in the UK in 2019 , in either G350d AMG or 585hp AMG G63 forms , but this latest W464 ( or second-gen W463 as it 's also called ) that was launched at the 2018 Detroit show is now very much a luxury product , the diesel starting at ? 96k and the 63 being another ? 50k on top of that . So we 're going to disqualify these most recent cars on the grounds that their drift away from the G 's original purpose has cranked up prices to the sort of levels that only drug dealers , boxing champions and sink-estate Lottery winners can afford . Similarly , earlier W460s and W461s ( there was no W462 ) are either going to be bonkers money to buy or rotboxes that will cost you bonkers money to repair , so we 'll skip over them too . Which all means we 're going to concentrate on the older examples of the 1990-on W463 G-Wagen/G-Class , all of which had full-time 4WD , three electronic @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and diesel motors , including some stone-cold M-B classics . In the W463 petrols we 're talking 126hp 230GE four , 170hp 300GE six , 240hp 500GE V8 , 331hp 500GE 6.0 AMG V8 , 210hp G320 inline-six , 215hp G320 V6 , 297-422hp G500 V8 , and a bunch of hand-built AMG versions from the G36 six to the G65 V12 . The guide we did on the Defender in October recommended a minefield-traversing level of buying care . Is the same amount of trepidation called for when eyeing up its German rival ? Let 's put on our steel-rimmed specs and investigate . Search for a used Mercedes-Benz G-Class on PH here . Bodywork & InteriorThe Gs we 're looking at are traditional off-roaders with a pressed steel body bolted to a strong ladder-frame chassis with enclosed side- and crossmembers . Any 30-year old car , even a Mercedes from the pre-rusty era , is going to be susceptible to corrosion , so before you even go to look at a W463 from the 1990s have a look at its online MOT history first . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ comments , but with luck they 'll be qualified by the phrase ' but structural integrity is not significantly reduced ' . Rust was a much bigger problem on the pre-1991 models . Having checked the underside for rock damage and satisfied yourself that the car you 're interested in is basically sound , you 'll want to check out other rust-vulnerable spots like the tailgate and the areas around the back lights . Sunroofs can be a problem with both with poor operation and poor sealing , leading in the worst case to water dripping into the cabin though the front of the headliner . A clicking or cracking noise from the sunroof is usually down to the hose containing the open/close cable detaching from the motor . A new clamp and a splodge of grease should sort that . Inside , the fixings for the console cupholders on later cars routinely break , as do the head units . Window regulators go too but that 's hardly exclusive to the G. The electrically adjustable seats in later cars are very comfortable . Engine & @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ there 's pretty much an engine for every taste . Many believe that the best all-round 463 is the 300 diesel , as it suits the G 's slow but steady character . Others rate the grunt and noise of the 500 petrol V8 . Some say that the 320 petrol is the best all-rounder . AMGs apart , none of the standard engines will hurl your bricklike G up the road at a rate of knots or deliver EV-like fuel consumption figures , but with the right maintenance they 'll give you a very pleasant sensation of ' this will see me out ' durability . One mechanical problem associated with Gs is propshaft failure . You 'll know you 've got that if the car starts to develop a heavy shudder . Later petrol engines can leak oil from the oil cooler or filter gaskets , and the thermostat gasket and PCV valve can both leak coolant . On later diesels , fuel filter hoses can leak oil and so can the turbo , which is an expensive repair . Earlier 300 and 350GD OM603 diesels like @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ cylinder heads . Later common-rail units like the G400 4.0 V8 are more refined but they also have more expensive maintenance needs . It 's worth changing G-Wagen/Class oil on a regular basis , as often as 6,000 miles if you want to be extra-careful . Timing on these old-school Benzes is by chain , but even these do n't go on forever and remember that Gs do tend to accumulate high mileages . Pre-2004 cars can suffer from minor electrical problems . Battery drain is a known issue . Spark plugs , sensors and coils go and the transfer case control module has a bit of a reputation . Properly sorted , a G is a formidable off-road vehicle , but if you buy a later 463 , make sure it 's up to date on its software . Check that the diffs are working too . If they have n't been used much by the previous owner they can get stuck . Keep the oil in the diffs fresh with regular changes , every 40,000km if you 're doing a fair bit of rough terrain work @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the road . Four- and five-speed manual gearboxes in older cars will wear out , so listen closely for odd noises when changing gear . The 722.3 automatic gearbox found in many petrol and diesel 463s is a strong unit but it does n't have an overdriven top gear , unlike the highly regarded 5G-TRONIC 722.6 box that arrived in 1996-on Gs . This is generally considered to be the strongest G auto ' box . Broken integrated speed sensors in the seven-speed 7G-TRONIC gearbox that took over from it in 2003 will cause random shifting , or no shifting . Suspension & SteeringThese are old ladder-frame , solid-axle cars and many will have been bought on their reputation for strength . As such they may have been put to quite heavy off road use , and springs ( especially the rear ones ) do break . That can be a blessing as the standard ride is very firm . A switch to good replacement shocks like Bilsteins will ease your spine . Even with adaptive damping on the later cars they feel heavy on the road @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Range Rover . Steering boxes will often be damp . Wheels , Tyres & BrakesWheel bearings do wear out and incorrect wheel alignment will cause uneven tyre wear . Two truisms for any car , and Gs are not exempt . The vacuum pump for the braking system can begin to leak once the six-figure mileage mark has been passed . ConclusionNot counting the Unimog , which is n't really a passenger car , the G-Wagen/G-Class has had by far the longest production run of any Mercedes . It did n't go through anywhere near as many facelifts or major revisions as other 40-year-run cars would have done , but it did enjoy a thorough programme of annual updates , the biggest ones being in 2007 , 2008 and 2012 . These updates gave owners the feeling that the company cared about the car - not something you could say quite as easily about the Defender . The main problem for UK motorists looking to buy into the G experience is that the vehicle was withdrawn from the UK market in the late 1990s and did @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ W463s for our fans , however , LHD is n't a deal-breaker . After all , it 's not as if you have to worry about overtaking anybody . That general indifference about which side the wheel is on , allied to the superior drive of the W463 , is reflected in the prices . You 'll pay quite a bit more for an early 1990s LHD W463 than you will for a shabby late RHD W460 , but you might well think it 's worth it for the difference in the driving experience . Mind you , if you take a gander at some of Dieselpump UK 's YT videos showing what can be done with an OM606 3.0 multivalve turbodiesel conversion , you might want to reconsider the idea of taking on a W460 as a stealth wagon . Even with that LHD caveat , W463 sellers are n't scared to ask silly money for rarer versions . We saw a 64,000-mile 2001 G300 convertible with the wheel on the wrong side at ? 55,000 . Regular Gs are available at considerably less , obviously , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 1990 GE230 petrol with a healthy six-figure mileage . Similarly used petrol 280s or 300s will start at ? 14,000 , while entry-level 300 diesels at that same point of wear will be ? 1,000- ? 2,000 more again . All prices go up as the mileages go down , but the G 's legendary status means that both trade and private sellers will still ask big money even for 200,000-milers . If you 're cool with the LHD thing and you 're on a tight budget you could think about going over to Germany to buy one , as the cheapest examples over there start from under ? 4,000 . By any objective measure , the Defender is a fairly terrible thing , and if we 're being honest the same must be said for the G-Wagen/Class . But , just like the Landie , the G is the sort of car you and your family will fall in love with in spite of its obvious flaws . The wind noise is shocking , but you 'll rarely drive fast enough to generate it . The flat glass @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ The ride on tarmac is poor , but cover that road with snow and the G will cut through it like nothing else . If the G-Wagen is good enough for Schwarzenegger , who does n't only drive them in his movies but also owns them - and was born just down the road from the Graz factory - then we reckon it 's good enough for the rest of |

We need to move away from FPTP and to PR to make each and every vote count . Also make politicians work together and not drive through contemptible policies as the Tories undoubtedly will do over the next five years . Rubbish ! Tories enable employers to treat their employees like shit . Cut conditions to the bone , make it impossible to better your life through employment and then allow these psychopathic companies to avoid more tax in a year than benefits have been paid in 20 years . Benefits for the unemployed cost a tiny sliver of the tax you pay and every parsimonious penny paid goes straight back into the economy rather than the offshore tax havens you find societies real parasites .

A mistake labour continually fall into and contributes to their election failures . What use is a party that is in perpetual opposition ? There has to be a clean break . Not a clean break with the ' left ' . A clean break with the ' uncompromising left ' . A clean break from Corbyn .

You are aware that during government austerity that most have seen their incomes fall in real terms . Well , that 's what happens when there is an economic correction , and all the more reason not to completely cock up the nation 's finances again . This fall in real terms was produced as inflation reached 4% - wages are n't going to keep up with that . Wages have been growing at an increasing rate since 2014/15 , and wage growth has outpaced inflation since March 2018 . Apart from the millionaires and billionaires who have seen their wealth increase massively .

A long as the left has OJs on its team , it wo n't get anywhere.If he , RL-B , Milne and momentum and their like are around we 've got no chance of winning the next election . Indeed I 'd go further . It would be the end of the party !

( At this point , please feel free to say , " Fat chance " ) . I would happily support a left leaning government that was centrist enough to win a consensus , knowing that many of the policies were enacted , if not all . Sticking doggedly to a left wing agenda that can not win a majority is only for those purists not concerned with making any changes In the 2016 ref , 63% of Labour supporters voted Remain . The vast majority of Labour members were Remain . Most Labour MPs were Remain . The 18-24 age group were 73% Remain .

' He later said that he had voted for Johnson.That is the reality that Labour has to face . For me , as a sports coach , you play to your strengths and work on your weaknesses . The Labour leadership lost the plot . Was Corbyn a factor ? In the end , after 4 years of continuous traducing by the establishment , including elements of his own party , yes . Was his unpopularity the only factor ? No . The sad fact for the UK is that it 's democracy has been successfully gamed by cynical billionaires and unprincipled charlatans . Good luck for the next 5 years . Brace yourselves , indeed . I think to take all blame away from Corbyn is a bit simplistic .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). It mentions 'opt out of providing out of hours healthcare', but this does not involve a causer causing a causee to move or preventing them from an action, nor does it fit the semantic or syntactic criteria outlined for the construction.

We need to move away from FPTP and to PR to make each and every vote count . Also make politicians work together and not drive through contemptible policies as the Tories undoubtedly will do over the next five years . Rubbish ! Tories enable employers to treat their employees like shit . Cut conditions to the bone , make it impossible to better your life through employment and then allow these psychopathic companies to avoid more tax in a year than benefits have been paid in 20 years . Benefits for the unemployed cost a tiny sliver of the tax you pay and every parsimonious penny paid goes straight back into the economy rather than the offshore tax havens you find societies real parasites . I warned you that Corbaggedon was coming . If you have n't realised that your vision of the Labour Party is dead then you 're a goner too , Owen . Get out now , take Jezza and pals with you and for your own ragged band . Let Labour live again without you . I agree with pretty much everything in this article . There is no doubt @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in this country ( boundary cheating and a propaganda tool media , those ' number of voters to elect ' figures are shocking ) , and what is laid out in their manifesto constitutes putting the executive , the prime minister , above both the law and parliament . The last act in moving Britain from a democracy to a dictatorship . Unfortunately , talk like " throwing under the bus " is designed to cauterize ' compromise ' . A mistake labour continually fall into and contributes to their election failures . What use is a party that is in perpetual opposition ? There has to be a clean break . Not a clean break with the ' left ' . A clean break with the ' uncompromising left ' . A clean break from Corbyn . For Gods sake , that lesson should have been learnt in the seventies ( Foot ) , but just like the brexiter imbeciles , all the lessons from that era seem to have been forgotten by imbecile lefties as well . I strongly disagree and think that the Labour @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ If you ignore all the economic issues such as unaffordability , theft of assets and its effect on pensions , then sure . But responsible people care about these things . Many an opportunity has failed due to failure to look after finances - good intentions do n't make numbers add up , and this bit is not disposable . You are aware that during government austerity that most have seen their incomes fall in real terms . Well , that 's what happens when there is an economic correction , and all the more reason not to completely cock up the nation 's finances again . This fall in real terms was produced as inflation reached 4% - wages are n't going to keep up with that . Wages have been growing at an increasing rate since 2014/15 , and wage growth has outpaced inflation since March 2018 . Apart from the millionaires and billionaires who have seen their wealth increase massively . That 's what happens with wealth ; let 's remember what takes the biggest hit during a correction - wealth @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 's not actually lost $5bn , but his shares have . Wealth is n't income ; they do n't behave the same way . The pendulum of power needs to be reset and it will not happen under the Tories ! Then come up with something that makes economic sense , rather than promising the world paid for by anyone else but the recipients . Take a look at tax rates in the Scandanavian countries , in France , in Germany . Ah , you 've been with the professors and they 've all liked your looksWith great lawyers you have discussed lepers and crooksYou 've been through all of F. Scott Fitzgerald 's booksYou 're very well-read , it 's well-knownBut something is happening here and you do n't know what it isDo you , Mr. Jones ? Oh just stop it now . Labors are finished , Tories can do whatever they want ( thanks to Corbyn ) ad no one can stop them now . People knew what they were voting for . If you do n't like it , there are so @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ voting against my own economic interests - and being on the losing side.The big new thing this time around is that it is abundantly clear just how much the working classes hate me and despise my values.Well , fuck ' em . Give them the result they wanted and let them have it good and hard . Metropolitan liberals and ' heartland ' workers do not belong in the same political party . Maybe they never did . A long as the left has OJs on its team , it wo n't get anywhere.If he , RL-B , Milne and momentum and their like are around we 've got no chance of winning the next election . Indeed I 'd go further . It would be the end of the party ! ' The Left ' should already be well seasoned against what happens next by their alternating bouts of naked self-harm in lockstep with wanton mischief making on the part of the Borisconisti . If said Left still ca n't find the way to curb both proclivities , they will remain as useless a chocolate fireguard @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the recent election disaster . Meanwhile , it will be up to the regular folk whose political parties have deserted them to take note of the warnings above and DO something about it for themselves . ( At this point , please feel free to say , " Fat chance " ) . I would happily support a left leaning government that was centrist enough to win a consensus , knowing that many of the policies were enacted , if not all . Sticking doggedly to a left wing agenda that can not win a majority is only for those purists not concerned with making any changes In the 2016 ref , 63% of Labour supporters voted Remain . The vast majority of Labour members were Remain . Most Labour MPs were Remain . The 18-24 age group were 73% Remain . ( Ashcroft Polls 24/06/16 ) The Corbyn cabal were Leavers , mainly on ideological grounds.The reason they gave for supporting Brexit was that they wanted to keep some bloke in Stoke . Well , they lost him anyway . He 's a Sun reader and thinks @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Radio phone-in last week . Man from Wakefield on Starmer - ' how can people up north vote for an elite London lawyer ? ' He later said that he had voted for Johnson.That is the reality that Labour has to face . For me , as a sports coach , you play to your strengths and work on your weaknesses . The Labour leadership lost the plot . Was Corbyn a factor ? In the end , after 4 years of continuous traducing by the establishment , including elements of his own party , yes . Was his unpopularity the only factor ? No . The sad fact for the UK is that it 's democracy has been successfully gamed by cynical billionaires and unprincipled charlatans . Good luck for the next 5 years . Brace yourselves , indeed . I think to take all blame away from Corbyn is a bit simplistic . Yes what mentioned and how it has been spun by the Tories are to blame , however Corbyn and Labour 's handling of Brexit and their actions in blocking everything in Parliament by @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to feel betrayed , I believe is the main cause . - the North remains a disaster area unchanged throughout but they will still blame Europe and immigrants until they actually get work which is not in the cards at all . There 's always been work in the north , which is why workers from Eastern Europe had no trouble finding jobs within days or weeks of arriving . The question is why did n't the ' locals ' bother applying for these jobs ?

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. It involves the phrase 'create chances out of nothing', where 'out of nothing' is a prepositional phrase modifying 'chances', not a VP[-ing] predicate. Additionally, there is no NP object that functions as a causee, and the sentence does not induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation.

We saw things happening that should n't really be happening on a football pitch and to concede five goals is not acceptable , especially given the way we 've defended as a team this season and pride ourselves on having a decent record of defensive clean sheets .

There 's nothing I can say that can make anyone feel any better . What was it down to do you think ? LC : I 'm not sure . Maybe we were so desperate to get ourselves back on the winning track that we 've left ourselves open whereas , at the start of the season , we had that little air of caution where we were keeping it solid , keeping it solid then bang , 1-0 . The game was in our hands then whereas maybe now we 're trying to force the issue and taking quick throw ins or trying to start attacks quickly from the goalkeeper . That stretches us as a team .

That 's a given and they are absolutely fantastic . We need to start turning up , me included .

You have to balance out risk versus reward sometimes . That 's not me being negative , it 's maybe trying to put yourself in the best position possible to win the game . It sounds like there was an open forum for discussion in the dressing room , not just the manager or you having your say ? LC : Yeah , but how can I come and comment when we 've conceded five goals . You have to take responsibility for your own patch and we have n't been good enough .

That needs to happen in the dressing room so when you do have these discussions everyone needs to at least acknowledge it or have something to say . Did people speak up ? Are there enough characters and leaders in the group ? LC : There are characters and there are leaders but it 's easy to say . I do n't want to be sat here talking because people will be pointing fingers at me after this game because for whatever reason we have n't done our jobs .

We can talk about the first 15 games all we like but that 's a million miles away from where we are now . Paul Lambert leaves the pitch after defeat at Lincoln City Picture Pagepix Is it a worry , the situation you have got yourselves into ? LC : No , I do n't think it 's a worry and it can easily be rectified . We need to put ourselves in a good position to win games and if we are going to kick it long , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ football . We 're letting it get on top of us a little by being wide open and allowing teams to create chances out of nothing . We need to defend in numbers in certain positions on the pitch and I 'm sure we 'll do that come Wednesday . Do you believe you should be up there this season ? Town players are distraught after conceding the fifth goal at Lincoln City Picture Pagepix LC : Why not ? We 're fourth in the league but the last 10 games tell a different story , although we 're still in a really good position despite being on a bad run . Whoever played and contributed to those first 15 games need to really stand up and the boys around the squad as well need to stand up and be counted . Those are clich ? s I do n't really want to use but what more can I say ? Time for a settled side ? Would that help ? LC : Yeah , absolutely . Go again , go again @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ We 're not going to worry about anyone else from this day forward . We 're going to worry about Ipswich Town and see where it takes us .

If you ca n't take that as a professional footballer @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ short this is an experience to learn from , is n't it ? LC : Absolutely . Is this something that can turn round in one game , with one result ? LC : Yes , without a shadow of a doubt . The small details are easily rectified and we need to have a lot more control on the pitch . The referee Mr James Oldham is impervious to Flynn Downes ' claims for a penalty at Lincoln City Picture Pagepix We did n't celebrate a goal in this game . Who are we , Man City playing in an FA Cup game against a League Two team ? No , we 're not , we 're Ipswich Town in League One playing Lincoln , are 1-0 down and have scored a free-kick . Go and celebrate . The worst feeling as a professional footballer is watching the other team celebrate when you feel like you are in a good position . That 's winning football . The second goal to equalise , celebrate ! I said it to the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ back to the halfway line as if we 're Man City playing against a League Two side . We 're here for a reason and we need to enjoy these moments with your thousands of fans who have travelled to watch you . Luke Garbutt 's been an absolute revelation for us and the best thing we can do is try and get him in for the foreseeable future . Ipswich 's second goal at Lincoln City Picture Pagepix He needs a home and I think he 's found one but every time he stands over a free-kick I think it 's an opportunity for us . Go and enjoy it , mate . Yes we want to get back in it but there 's so much time left . All I can do is be brutally honest because that 's what I 've always done . Those 1-0 wins from earlier in the season would be handy now , would n't they . LC : Of course because we ca n't get ahead of ourselves and think that we battered everyone , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ weeks and ground it out .

Beating the league-leaders on their own patch to kick-start your season ... LC : We 're having conversations about kick-starting seasons when we 're fourth . I wo n't say we would have taken this ( at the start ) but we do need to draw a line under this and have a 22-game season now which we 're looking forward to . Are there any extra-nerves ? For me that came in the first 15 games because we needed to get off to a good start whereas now we potentially , some of us , maybe @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ questions I have the answers too and all I can do as captain is take responsibility . We have another game , we 're in a good position and need to break this bad run . |

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. It also does not give rise to a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it describes a situation where teams create chances from nothing, which does not align with the transitive out of -ing construction.

Is this something that can turn round in one game , with one result ? LC : Yes , without a shadow of a doubt . The small details are easily rectified and we need to have a lot more control on the pitch . The referee Mr James Oldham is impervious to Flynn Downes ' claims for a penalty at Lincoln City Picture Pagepix We did n't celebrate a goal in this game . Who are we , Man City playing in an FA Cup game against a League Two team ? No , we 're not , we 're Ipswich Town in League One playing Lincoln , are 1-0 down and have scored a free-kick . Go and celebrate . The worst feeling as a professional footballer is watching the other team celebrate when you feel like you are in a good position . That 's winning football . The second goal to equalise , celebrate ! I said it to the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ back to the halfway line as if we 're Man City playing against a League Two side . We 're here for a reason and we need to enjoy these moments with your thousands of fans who have travelled to watch you . Luke Garbutt 's been an absolute revelation for us and the best thing we can do is try and get him in for the foreseeable future . Ipswich 's second goal at Lincoln City Picture Pagepix He needs a home and I think he 's found one but every time he stands over a free-kick I think it 's an opportunity for us . Go and enjoy it , mate . Yes we want to get back in it but there 's so much time left . All I can do is be brutally honest because that 's what I 've always done . Those 1-0 wins from earlier in the season would be handy now , would n't they . LC : Of course because we ca n't get ahead of ourselves and think that we battered everyone , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ weeks and ground it out . We went 1-0 up which opened the game up and allowed us to have more chances . But let 's not kid ourselves , we did n't batter anyone and we ca n't be thinking we should be up there with a divine right . Will Keane nets Town 's third at Lincoln City Picture Pagepix We need to work hard every single day in training . Wednesday at Wycombe could be an ideal came , could n't it ? Beating the league-leaders on their own patch to kick-start your season ... LC : We 're having conversations about kick-starting seasons when we 're fourth . I wo n't say we would have taken this ( at the start ) but we do need to draw a line under this and have a 22-game season now which we 're looking forward to . Are there any extra-nerves ? For me that came in the first 15 games because we needed to get off to a good start whereas now we potentially , some of us , maybe @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ questions I have the answers too and all I can do as captain is take responsibility . We have another game , we 're in a good position and need to break this bad run . |

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, it describes a situation where Martial is crowded out as he tries to create something, which does not involve a causer causing a causee to move out of or be prevented from an action denoted by a VP[-ing] predicate. The phrase 'out of nothing' is idiomatic and does not introduce a VP[-ing] predicate, nor does it fit the movement/extraction or prevention interpretations characteristic of the transitive out of -ing construction.

1 ) Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was appointed Manchester United manager 378 days ago . He has had ? 145m to spend , 12 months to implement his playing style , impress his ideas and leave an imprint on this club . Mikel Arteta was appointed Arsenal manager 12 days ago .

Perhaps starting with a draw and a chastening defeat has served Arteta well .

At 46 , the Norwegian has a slight advantage in experience on Eddie Howe ( 42 ) and Frank Lampard ( 41 ) . Yet while they both managed to react to the challenges of an unknown adversary , Solskjaer failed .

Lampard erred initially but corrected his @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the tide and snatch a victory from the jaws of defeat . Solskjaer was powerless . United were entirely dreadful until Arsenal sat off and defended a lead which never looked in jeopardy . When United 's only way of playing -- counter-attacking at pace -- was thwarted by diligent defending and organisation , their lack of a Plan B was exposed . 6 ) It started so well . Marcus Rashford had a shot from range within the first 30 seconds , clearly with a view to testing Bernd Leno after his weekend mistake . It had the opposite effect , affording the German the opportunity to make the sort of comfortable save which would have settled his nerves . United 's next shot came in the final 30 seconds of the half , Harry Maguire heading into Leno 's arms from a corner . For 45 minutes in between , they offered absolutely nothing . Jesse Lingard was particularly dreadful . Consider that when contemplating how Solskjaer made no substitutions at half-time . How bad would United have had to play for him to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ also Rashford 's first of two touches before Arsenal 's goal in the eighth minute . His second would play a part in Nicolas Pepe 's opener . Anthony Martial also had just one touch in that time ; they would remain isolated and impotent until the second half . The goal can be traced back to two defensive actions from perhaps surprising individuals . A blunt United attack came to an abrupt but entirely expected end when Sokratis pushed up to force Rashford into a mistake , with Ozil intercepting the subsequent pass . The ball found its way into the middle , Xhaka won a 50-50 challenge with Daniel James , then played Sead Kolasinac into space on the left . Not bad for a lazy , mercurial forward player and a midfielder once literally advised " not to tackle " by his own manager . Their contributions were not immediately obvious amid Pepe 's celebrations , but they should not be forgotten . The goal was not possible without either of them . 8 ) United 's passive defending was encapsulated in the build-up @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ left-back was in his own half . He was allowed to sprint a full 40 yards or so before playing a simple ball into Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and running towards the touchline to offer the return . There was no pressure , no prospect of a tackle being made in the interim . Barely two minutes later , Kolasinac was left to run even further down the left-hand side after a fine lay-off from Aubameyang , which resulted in a concerted period of danger culminating in Pepe taking on Luke Shaw twice and setting Aubameyang up for a bicycle kick . By the 21st minute , the hat-trick was complete : Kolasinac brought a Leno clearance down , shrugged off James and glided past Fred as he dribbled for about 50 yards before once again handing it over to Aubameyang . United , burned by letting him have the freedom of the entire flank early on , proceeded to pour petrol on the open flame twice more . Solskjaer deserves criticism , but that was ridiculous naivety from the players . 9 ) The biggest culprit was Maguire @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ as Aubameyang had the ball for the goal . Even before the striker played the pass Victor Lindelof had raised his hand , having seemingly played Kolasinac offside to quell the danger . Yet Maguire , behind his defensive partner , stepped out far too late , compounding that mistake by rushing towards Alexandre Lacazette and helping leave Pepe unmarked . Maguire was vulnerable again just after the half-hour mark , clinging to Lacazette like a wet T-shirt as the Frenchman chased a fine ball into the area from Pepe . Lacazette spun wonderfully and Maguire , too tight to his man , was completely dumbfounded and had to back away for fear of conceding a penalty . The shot was missed on this occasion , but the centre-half was no less susceptible . The amount of times Harry Maguire makes wrong decisions when he 's dragged out wide is really not befitting of an ? 85 million CB . He hardly improved throughout , continuing his recent spate of poor performances . Yet he has already been earmarked as a future captain and cornerstone of this @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Smalling . 10 ) Arsenal did not have another shot for 30 minutes after opening the scoring against Chelsea . Barely 100 seconds had passed before they followed up Pepe 's goal with another effort on Wednesday . Lacazette 's attempt followed later , with Torreira also shooting narrowly wide soon after and Pepe hitting the post from David de Gea 's terrible clearance . It was as much a case of them learning the lessons of failing to capitalise on periods of dominance three days ago as it was United simply being more malleable opponents . Between the 9th and 30th minutes Arsenal misplaced 11 of 161 attempted passes as United were left chasing shadows . They had ten touches in the opposition box in that time ; United had one , with Martial crowded out as he tried to create something out of nothing with a dribble . That Arsenal had taken the lead came as no surprise . That they had an plan to protect and build on it was quite the development . They seemed prepared to be in the ascendancy for once @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in their predictability . At their best they play at a searing pace and attack in numbers , overwhelming defences with sheer physical attributes . At their worst they are starved of space in behind so are made to rely on either short , intricate passing moves or moments of individual brilliance . They are not capable of the former and can not plan for the latter . Torreira and Xhaka had a first-half passing accuracy of 96% and 94% respectively , compared to Nemanja Matic 's 75% and Fred 's 88% . And Pepe , Ozil , Aubameyang and Lacazette misplaced nine of 85 passes , compared to James , Lingard , Rashford and Martial failing to find their target with 16 of 57 of theirs . So Arsenal 's midfield was servicing the forwards considerably more efficiently , and the forwards were , in turn , much less wasteful . 12 ) Arsenal thoroughly deserved to double their lead . As it came from a corner , Sokratis finishing after Lacazette 's front-post flick-on was saved , the move that preceded it might be forgotten . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ intercepting Fred 's pass . Xhaka , David Luiz , Sokratis and Kolasinac himself proceeded to recycle possession between them , resulting in Xhaka playing an exquisite first-time ball from the left flank to Ozil in the centre . He flicked it over Rashford , encountered absolutely no pressure whatsoever , then picked out a sensational pass to find Ainsley Maitland-Niles 's run on the right . Maguire put the subsequent cross out for the corner from which Arsenal scored . It was one a few moments which saw Ozil transcend what was really a game between a team with structure and one without . No other player was willing to play such ambitious , defence-splitting passes ; indeed , no other player was particularly capable . And those runs where he leads a counter-attacking charge by carrying the ball from midfield are just wonderful . There were many candidates for man of the match . As far as the biggest difference between the two sides , it is difficult to look beyond Ozil as the embodiment of the gulf in class . 13 ) He also @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ was alone : every Arsenal outfield starter aside from Kolasinac made at least one tackle , with Aubameyang the sole outlier in terms of interceptions . Four outfield United starters did not make a single tackle and six failed to complete an interception . Their three substitutes managed none of either ; Bukayo Saka did one of each in his 22 minutes . It would be crass to reduce this to one side simply working harder than the other . The gap was far wider and more stark than that . But it is no coincidence that Arsenal defended and attacked as a team , whereas United so often do both independently . 14 ) For a manager with such unerring faith in youth , Solskjaer often has a weird way of showing it . Shaw was utterly dreadful in the first half , petrified of Pepe and unable to cope with either his pace or trickery . Yet this was his fifth start in six Premier League games , and he has impressed in roughly none . Then there is Brandon Williams , yet to be @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ starts this season , the man who allegedly forced a transfer rethink in November yet has barely been seen consistently since . And do n't get me started on Greenwood , a player with more Premier League goals this season than starts , more shots in 33 minutes than Martial in 90 and more smoke blown up his arse by his manager than a train fetishist . 15 ) Solskjaer 's decision to make no half-time changes was baffling , a bizarre acceptance of mediocrity . It matters not what message was contained in his team talk because the players had to have it shown to them in no uncertain terms that their display was not even close to good enough . His choice to make a double substitution almost straight after United managed to muster two shots early in the second half was downright perplexing . Neither were close -- Lingard and Fred having efforts blocked and saved respectively -- but after delivering something that resembled a response the shape and personnel was changed . There are numerous reasons to make a substitution : injury @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the opponent with something new , you are making a Tesco home delivery . Greenwood for James was changing pace for pace ; Andreas Pereira for Lingard was swapping not good enough for not good enough . It just felt as though Solskjaer checked the scoreboard and the time and figured he had to be seen to do something . By that point , he had been painfully out-coached by someone with a practically blank C.V . 16 ) That does a disservice to Arteta , who has parted the dark clouds that had consumed the Emirates long before his arrival . It also just goes to show that professional footballers are almost never as bad as pundits , journalists , fans or neutrals claim . There are exceptions -- Shkodran Mustafi is not for saving -- but David Luiz , the PlayStation-controlled clown , was exceptional . Sokratis , the big Greek lump alongside him , his equal . Xhaka was excellent , Pepe brilliant , Aubameyang and Ozil diligent and industrious . Each of them have been labelled liabilities who are not good enough to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for the badge , wastes of transfer fees and wages and everything in between . One change of manager later , they are tenacious , zealous cogs in a machine working towards one common goal , and restoring a pride that the supporters had long -- and understandably -- abandoned . Arteta has reinvigorated them but there has to be something there in the first place for it to be coaxed out . Scoff at that all you want , but footballers are human . They are subject to the same changes in emotion , the same mental challenges , the same struggles with work and life . You can pretend they should be above it all because of the extra zeros on their wage , but that is countered by the immense amount of pressure they are placed under each day on social media and television . If they do not like working for a manager it has a subconscious effect . Footballers rarely want to play badly . Think David Luiz just gave the most revealing post-match interview in football history Sometimes all they @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and ideology . As Sokratis said after the game : " The fun is back . " It can be that simple . And if you read that entire conclusion with Solskjaer and United in mind , the point stands . Do n't fall into the trap of just assuming these players are n't good enough because they look bad . This Arsenal squad had won one of 12 Premier League games to end the decade . The flock often just needs a more suitable shepherd to guide them . |

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, it uses 'took such pleasure out of making', where 'making' is part of a gerund phrase but does not fit the transitive out of -ing construction as it lacks a clear NP object functioning as a causee and does not induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation.

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, it describes Thomas Markle pulling out of an activity (walking her through the Quire to the altar) due to illness and other reasons, which does not involve a causer causing a causee to move out of or be prevented from an activity. Thus, it does not fit the transitive out of -ing construction.

The Guards Chapel in central London had been reported as a possibility , given the duke 's role as Colonel of the Grenadier Guards , but this was said to be no longer on the cards . If Beatrice decides to go small-scale for the ceremony , options could include the private chapel inside Windsor Castle -- where Archie Mountbatten-Windsor was christened -- or at another royal residence , followed by a larger reception at the family home , Royal Lodge , in Windsor Great Park or even overseas .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction. It lacks an NP object that functions as a causee and does not induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it uses 'get out of' in a different context, where 'doing something like this' is the complement of the complex preposition 'out of', similar to the examples in (7a) and (7b).

" Mindless idiots " who have driven over graves in Bridgnorth cemetery have been condemned for their " outrageous " behaviour .

The Tete a Tete statue in Harpenden was dressed in a t-shirt stating the definition of ' woman ' . Picture : Herts Women Stand Up Archant The Sappho statue in Letchworth 's Howard Garden was used for the campaign . Picture : Herts Women Stand Up Herts Women Stand Up , alongside ReSisters United , put the T-shirts on statues -- including Sappho of Lesbos in Howard Garden in Letchworth and the Tete a Tete statue in Harpenden -- on Sunday . The shirts read : " Woman : noun , an adult human female " . The group has also been sharing the hashtag #WomenStandUp on social media . A spokeswoman for ReSisters United said : " The factual definition of woman has become taboo . With this action we send the message that women have @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ fear or retribution . " A Herts Women Stand Up spokeswoman added : " Biological sex matters and that feelings of gender should not take precedence when it comes to maintaining and upholding the rights and dignity of women . The group is committed to lobbying for the right to single sex spaces . The t-shirt was removed from the Sappho statue , and this banner was placed on a fence nearby . Picture : Jane Fae " The statue of Sappho is Letchworth is particularly significant because Sappho , an ancient greek poet whose work celebrated love between women , is an icon both of lesbian and gay liberation , and of women 's rights . The trend towards claiming that men can be women undermines the right of lesbian women to self-define and declare sexual boundaries . " Jane Fae , a Letchworth-based campaigner for LGBT and women 's rights , expressed her disappointment at this campaign . She said : " While they hide behind the language of feminism , they are anything but . This campaign has been designed , from @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ LGBT individuals . " It 's originator was last week ' helping police with their enquiries ' in respect of alleged harrassment and is this week in the United States discussing tactics with some of the most extreme anti-feminist , anti-LGBT elements now active in US politics . " These are the people behind US President Donald Trump 's ban on trans people serving in the military . The same people who have recently been suggesting to Trump that the ban on active service now be extended to women . " The T-shirts are part of a campaign to create a hostile public environment for trans folk and , as far as I am aware , not a penny of the money raised from their sale will go to a women 's cause . Rather , it will go back to the campaign organiser . A spokesperson for Herts Women Stand Up responded to Jane 's comments and said : " The campaign is not seeking to ' strip rights ' of trans and LGBT people , nor to ban trans people from the military . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is it a plan to make fortune out of selling t-shirts . " The campaign has been coordinated by collective of grassroots feminist groups in the UK and Ireland to protest against erasure of female as a distinct sex class and the need to protect single sex spaces . The t-shirts were donated by the campaign Standing For Women . " The T-shirt has since been removed from the Sappho statue , and a sign has been put up on a nearby fence , which says : " What is a woman ? A woman is typically female . " But a woman can not be defined by their anatomy , so what is a woman ? What unifies us ? We are a target for subordination , based on actual or perceived bodily functions presumed to be evidence of our role in biological reproduction . We are oppressed because of men 's desire or assumption of power and control over us in the patriarchy. " |

The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate ('This is pricing people out of using public transport'). It implies a prevention interpretation, where the action of pricing is preventing people from using public transport. The verb 'pricing' can be categorized under 'By means of exerting force or pressure, sometimes understood metaphorically'. The NP object 'people' functions as a causee, participating in the event described by the VP2[-ing] predicate 'using public transport'. Therefore, this is an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

Protesters are expected outside major stations this morning to demand reforms , following the general increase of 2.7 per cent in fares . One campaign group warned that travellers face " another decade of misery " with ticket price rises outstripping income growth . Thanks for signing up ! Sorry , there seem to be some issues . Please try again later . Submitting ... Research showed that fares for commuters rose twice as fast as wages over the past decade , and that a season ticket on some UK routes is up to seven times more expensive than similar European journeys . A separate survey by a passenger watchdog , Transport Focus , found that just 47 per cent of travellers are satisfied with the value for money of train tickets . Data produced by Network Rail has shown that last year barely two thirds of trains arrived punctually , within one minute of their scheduled time . Bruce Williamson of campaign group Railfuture said : " Welcome @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on earth is the Government going to meet its climate commitments by pricing people off environmentally friendly trains and on to polluted and congested roads ? " In Scotland , where a season ticket between Glasgow and Edinburgh will go up ? 116 a year to ? 4,200 , there were demands for the Scottish Government to rescind the rise . John Finnie MSP , transport spokesman for the Scottish Greens , said : " It 's wrong to ask passengers to pay significantly increased fares when so many have had to deal with poor services over the past year . " The 2.7 per cent UK-wide general increase in fares , by which more than ? 100 will be added to some annual tickets , is pegged to the RPI measure of inflation each July , which this year stood at 2.8 per cent . The rise was significantly above the more widely used CPI measure , which stood at 2.1 per cent in July . The Campaign for Better Transport urged the Government to switch to CPI for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ " . Travellers endured delays and cancellations in 2019 , with major disruption to Northern , TransPennine Express and West Midlands Trains . David Sidebottom , director of Transport Focus , said : " After a year of pretty poor performance in some areas , passengers just want a consistent service they can rely on and better chance of getting a seat . " Train companies said that they were investing in improving services . Robert Nisbet , a director at industry body the Rail Delivery Group , said : " Rail companies have , for the third year in a row , held average fare increases below inflation while continuing to deliver investment in new trains and extra services . " In 2020 , we will work together to run 1,000 extra services a week and roll out 1,000 more train carriages as we replace half the country 's train carriages .

Fares are rising at double the rate of wages . I am now working for less than I was five years ago . " This is pricing people out of using public transport . We are all sick to the back teeth of having to pay more year after year . " Mr Tilley will be at King 's Cross station in London today protesting against the fares hike as well as calling for a dramatic overhaul of the current system .

There is no right not to be offended : that 's according to Sir Alan Moses , the outgoing chairman of the UK 's main press regulator , Ipso . Moses stated that it was vital for democracy that the media be allowed to discuss sensitive subjects such as religion and gender without fear of being censored . Hurray for Sir Alan ! Somebody had to stand up and say it . We live in a world where people act as if being offended is like kryptonite to Superman : deadly for their personal wellbeing . Frequently this victim mentality is attributed to snowflakey millennials who have been brought up with an unprecedented level of privilege , entitlement and an overweening sense of their own importance . There 's no doubt that this toxic seam of intolerance - for that is what it is - runs like a sore through many British and Irish universities , with absurd attempts to ' no-platform ' speakers that certain students dislike . However , I 've @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , shunning or otherwise obliterating stuff they do n't approve of . If I do n't like it , ban it : that 's the prevailing message . To be fair to Sir Alan , a former lord justice of appeal , he did n't come out and say ' suck it up , cry-babies ' . Admitting that dealing with complaints about offence was one of the most difficult aspects of the Ipso role , he said : " If you 're the victim of something that is deeply offensive , it is the most unpleasant , uncomfortable thing that you can imagine . But what we have to acknowledge is that , in striking the right balance in this country , there is no right not to be offended . " This message can not be repeated too often . The novelist Salman Rushdie has more reason than most to take a personal interest in it , given that a fatwa - or execution order - was declared on him in 1989 by Iran 's Ayatollah Khomeini , after the publication of his book @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ bannings and death threats followed . It was nine years before the author came out of hiding , but Index on Censorship has noted that as recently as 2016 , funds were being raised to add to the fatwa . Rushdie said : " Nobody has the right to not be offended . That right does n't exist in any declaration I have ever read . If you are offended it is your problem and frankly lots of things offend lots of people . I can walk into a bookshop and point out a number of books that I find very unattractive in what they say . But it does n't occur to me to burn the bookshop down . " Similarly , if somebody writes , says or tweets something that conflicts with your own beliefs , you do n't have to go into public meltdown and immediately try to organise a huge social media pile-on , where reason and balance gets trampled into the dirt by the howling mob . You have options . You could express your disagreement . You could enter into a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , how about simply ignoring it and walking away ? True , Rushdie 's persecution is an extreme example . Here in Northern Ireland , where offence-taking is practically a national sport , there are numerous instances of self-indulgent huffing about them'uns on the other side . Most of this is low-level yapping and whataboutery . But one of the most astounding examples that came to light this year was the case of Lee Hegarty . According to the former Ulster Unionist MP Ken Maginnis , speaking in the House of Lords , Hegarty - previously a Northern Ireland Office ( NIO ) worker , who then took up a role with the Parades Commission - made a complaint under human rights legislation because he was so offended by portraits of the Queen adorning the walls of his workplace . That 's a hell of a lot of money to salve Mr H 's wounded emotions . I really hope he did n't get PTSD or anything from having to see pictures of HRH every day . If I got a tenner for each time @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the work I do , I 'd be an extremely rich woman . Maybe not as rich as Mr Hegarty though . I 'm no royalist , but to me there 's something almost obscene - yet entirely typical of the way such things are done in la-la-land Northern Ireland - about pandering to outraged political sensibilities in such an extreme way . There is no right not to be offended . As we enter not just a new year but a new decade , we must reaffirm this fundamental democratic truth . |

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'defaulted out of giving people space for that' does not involve an NP object that functions as a causee, nor does it induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, 'defaulted out of' seems to be used in a more idiomatic or metaphorical sense without the specific grammatical and semantic properties of the transitive out of -ing construction.

by 03 January 2020 Faith in a secular age : Andy Root and Nick Shepherd in conversation ALAMY Martin Luther and the lightning , from a 19th-century illustration by Gustav K ? nig , published by Rudolf Besser Martin Luther and the lightning , from a 19th-century illustration by Gustav K ? nig , published by Rudolf Besser IN HIS book Faith Formation in a Secular Age , Dr Andrew Root , Pro ? fessor of Youth and Family Ministry at Luther Seminary , argues that " the whole of our social imaginary has shifted . " He writes : " Our culture has little room for belief in a God who is both transcendent and personal . " Last month , the Church Times recorded him in con ? versation with Dr Nick Shep ? herd , the director of Setting God 's People Free , the Renewal and Reform pro ? gramme that explores how the Church " helps the whole people of God serve God 's mission in God 's world @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . Andy , could you summarise the landscape sketched out in Faith Formation in a Secular Age ? How has the " social imaginary " shifted ? Andy Root : My books are really in dialogue with the Canadian philo ? sopher Charles Taylor . He 's trying to help us to find out what it actually means -- and , even more so , what it feels like -- to live in a secular age . It 's not that religion is necessarily disappearing , or that we are getting necessarily a bigger divide between what 's public and what 's private . Ultimately , what it means to be living in a secular age is to have all forms of belief contested . Taylor thinks that stretches really , really deep -- so deep that , if you are a believer , you are often thrust into doubt . But he thinks that , even if you are a non-believer , you can still be thrust into doubt . You find yourself thinking : " Oh , no , there 's no God here @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . " And then you go to that Christmas concert , and you hear that orchestra , or you hold your child for the first time , you have an experience in everyday life that opens something up -- and now even your doubt is shattered . Taylor thinks this is the kind of age we live in -- that we are always mutually fragilised , whether we believe or we do n't . Advertisement Nick , is that picture one that Church House recognises ? Nick Shepherd : Sometimes , we de ? ? fault into real self-criticism in the Church : we 've got to do more , we 've got to change , we 've got to innovate , we 've got to respond to the times . . . And a lot of that is true , in terms of being contextual . But what we miss in that is that there 's a deep cultural change that has been going on in the West for hundreds of years , and we are caught up in that change , and trying to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . I think Taylor explains that . There are some critiques of Taylor , particularly when you look at non-Western contexts , but , by and large , I think he hits the nail on the head . For a Christian , the conditions of doubt that Andy was talking about have a real , deep impact on us . How we understand where God is active in our lives becomes really difficult , because the rest of our society does n't support that , or actually under ? ? mines that . So you have cer ? tain spaces where you begin to feel that God is active , and then cer ? tain spaces where that is just closed off for you . We talk a lot about confidence , but I think sometimes that word is slightly misplaced , because I think it 's more about imagination : how do we help each of us to understand where God is present ? God is pres ? ent in the eucharist ; God is present in Charismatic sung wor ? ship ; but God is also @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in a conversation with a work colleague . The C of E regularly publishes statistical analysis of church attend ? ance , and we can find surveys of affiliation , identity , belief , etc . Some ? ? times these are said to create in ? ? stitutional anxiety . How do you both feel about these analyses ? Do we dismiss them at our peril , or do they carry their own risks with them ? AR : I think we do dismiss them at our peril . I am concerned , however , that the definition of what faith is has been given over to sociologists . You ca n't blame sociologists , but they need to create a kind of in ? ? strument that they can then empirically make decisions on . Faith is something quite deep , and ca n't just be measured by looking at the numbers of participation , or at the four choices on a scale of what you believe . For the earliest forms of Protestantism , faith was in an in ? ? cred ? ibly @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and what you were willing to do with a few hours a week , or if you believed the Bible is philosophically this or that . Faith was the place , the locale , where the human spirit was encountered by the divine spirit . . . So I want us to be sceptical , in a very respectful way , of those numbers . NS : There 's a strong argument that the Church has always been a minority within a broader majority . What we 've lost is a bit of the cul ? tural framing -- it 's called a social imaginary for good reason . Our struc ? tures in society do n't hold that imagination of what it means to be Christian as they once did . Some people can malign that kind of Christendom model , but it actually had an impact , an effect : it did some ? thing for you as a person . I think it had meaning for people . We have lost that . Attendance as an obliga ? tion has moved out of people 's pat @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ people to be regular active participants in our church if they are there two times a month . The numbers drive me to think : how do we then enable people to live out faith in everyday life , and to find and experience God in everyday life , and then to be part of the worship ? ping community where that be ? ? comes your story and your song and your conversation ? AR : One of the traps for people who are church professionals is that the numbers mean something deeply existential . Will we be able to keep posts ? Will we be able to keep open academic institutions that train these clergy ? This is a pretty big deal , and it will change a lot of things , and there will be questions that we have to ask . . . But it can also be a distraction from something deeper . What it ultimately means to live in a secular age is not just that the institutions of religion are declining , it 's that idea that transcendence becomes lost @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ living God , in the sense of divine action , becomes harder for people to con ? nect . And I think if we want renewal , it will start by trying to address what Taylor calls the loss of transcend ? ence , the yearning for meaning . NS : Something interesting is going on in our regular attendance . In the age bracket 25 to 44 , there is 32-per-cent regular attendance com ? pared with 14 per cent in the 45- to 64-year-olds . There are always these smaller narratives , these little counter-currents that are happening . Andy , you write : " Our forma ? tion has often been boring because it has lacked the connection to our deepest , embodied , lived , and emo ? tive ex ? ? periences . " You mention Martin Luther 's experience of being nearly struck by lightning , and question whether he would find any ? where today to make sense of the experi ? ence , including in church . Can you expand on this ? Advertisement AR : If Luther @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ lightning today , he would run to the pub and drink a bunch of Hefeweizen to try to make sense of it , and maybe he would join an artisan beer-brewing club and find meaning there . But -- and this is one of the things that makes transcendence or divine ac ? ? tion seem impossible -- there really are n't a lot of places to talk about it . I think people actually have these experiences . But the way human cog ? n ? i ? tion works is that , if you do n't actually tell the story of those ex ? ? periences , they have a hard time pressing in and leaving a mark on your identity . I think that part of the late-modern condition is we do have odd , uncanny experiences . If you can get people at a pub to have a drink or two , they will start talking about weird things that have happened . But there 's almost no ? ? where in our culture where they can testify to those stories , or go @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ n't tend see the local congregation as a place to come and say : " I 've got to tell you what happened to me last week . I do n't know what to make of it . " We need to have these kinds of narratives to know who we are , and to make sense of our world , and we 've defaulted out of giving people space for that . We do n't need huge budgets : we just need the bravery and freedom to say " Come and tell the story , " and to really ask the question of each other " What does that mean ? " There is the openness in this secular age to be seekers , but we have to be in touch with our stories . NS : We have to resist jumping in and imposing a narrative and under ? standing on those stories . Our faith is fragile . I became a Christian be ? ? cause a girlfriend at the time got healed from meningitis , and that was a really powerful point in time @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ married , and she ended up being a missionary , and she died at the age of 42 , leaving a husband and two kids . I still ca n't make sense of that story . And even just telling it now brings a kind of fragile moment of thinking : " Well , did that first thing really happen ? Was I just deluded into thinking there was some ex ? ? perience ? " Faith is weak , but , actually , that 's a great place to be , because faith is trust . So we are trusting in God , and the condition of our churches is not necessarily about the certainty : " I got struck by lighting and God saved me . " It 's the place to go where you are safe to say : " I do n't know what to make of that . Maybe that was God . What do you think ? " Setting God 's People Free is not a programme to get people to do more and learn a rote way of talking about our @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to each other : " It 's OK to tell these stories ; it 's OK to share vulner ? ability ; it 's OK to ask questions of each other ; but also it 's OK to be positive about the ways in which you think God 's at work in your life . " Many of the Church of Eng ? ? land 's churches have no children at all . You talk about the " glorification of youth ? fulness " , and you have a new piece of work called " Why parents do n't really care about youth groups and what youth workers should do about it . " Could you share your diag ? ? nosis ? AR : Bonhoeffer said that the Church has believed that the youthful spirit rather than the Holy Spirit will save it . I put that together with another Charles Taylor concept of living in this age of authenticity , where au ? then ? ticity becomes the highest good : being unique and living out of an ethic that says no human being should tell @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ human . You have to be your own unique self . My fear is that Protestant youth ministry is actually mobilised as a way to capture the youthful spirit , and that our congregations are n't as interested in young people as per ? sons , and hearing their stories and journeying with them , but they really like to have a good youth ministry in the church basement be ? ? cause then there 's an aura of youth ? fulness to the church , and then you can be assured that we are not really in that bad of a decline-situation . This is as opposed to turning and prayerfully asking the Holy Spirit to move us . I really do believe theo ? logically that , if we do , then the Holy Spirit will always open us up to children . The form that God is moving us into is to be children of God . I find this around the world . People will say : " Our problem is we do n't have any children in our church , " but it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ you under ? stand a human being as their associations and choices , then it 's possible that no families with chil ? dren have ever chosen your church . But , if a human being is in some way bound in relationship , there is no church that does n't have any chil ? dren . There 's a 75-year-old woman who 's got great-grand ? children that she cares about , that she wants this church to pray for . There 's the 45-year-old guy who 's got a kid across the street who helps mow his lawn . Advertisement There 's no such thing as a con ? ? gregation that does n't have children in it . That , to me , is why children become so fundamental , be ? ? ? cause chil ? ? dren remind us that we are not cut-off individuals with associations . NS : The advice , or the warning , about the youthful spirit is really important . We have to be very care ? ful about that , but it is important that we @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ at David Voas 's data about generational de ? ? cline , that the proximal impact of secularisation is equal , so it happens at the window between childhood and youth . So , if you have grown up in a Christian home , you become aware that actually not everybody be ? ? lieves that , and it has a big impact on you . If we do n't intervene in that , well then we do n't help children and young people to negotiate what it means to hold faith into adulthood . We need to be active and engaged with young people : not because their presence is going to save us , but be ? ? cause we want them to be nurtured , to have a relationship with God . The charity Youthscape recently did interviews with teenagers and found as an expectation that God should come to them . So one guy said : " I do n't think that any God has shown up to sort of say , ' I 'm here . ' " What do you both @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Experiential encounter lies at the heart of children and youth work , but increasingly more so with adults . In the most recent British Social Attitudes survey , we are starting to see decline in the 45-to-54 age bracket , and we 've never seen that before . That 's related to the same sort of thing , that sense of " Where is God ? Where is my experience of God ? " I do n't think it 's necessarily in the blinding-light way : it 's actually about that capacity to know in your bodily being that God loves you and God is there for you . The difficulty for me is that , ac ? ? tually , God sometimes hides Godself from us . There are some times in our life where we actually have to go searching for God . There are some times in our lives where God comes to us unexpectedly . Who are we to expect God to roll out the red carpet and say : " Hey , here I am ! " God is always a God @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ be with us . So I think it 's a question of , are we looking ? Do we notice , and do we name that that might be God 's activity in our life ? AR : We live in such an indi ? vidualistic age that we think : " If it has n't happened to me , then it does n't mean anything for me . " I do n't know if that 's really the kind of ecclesiology that Paul has , which is to say that you may not have had this really direct experience with Jesus Christ , but someone in the community has , and it now becomes their job to retell that story . And , in them telling that story , that can be ? ? come an eventful experience of you having the encounter with Jesus . You can have faith because your grandmother used to pray , and her prayers got her through your grand ? father 's cancer . Faith is embodied and passed on through those experi ? ences . NS : We @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a clear story of why you should believe . It be ? ? comes proclamation or per ? suasion , and I think that 's helpful , and gives people a good sense of why you might believe ; but , for me , testimony is powerful in that it discloses God 's presence . When we talk about God being pres ? ? ent in our life , I genuinely be ? ? lieve that is part of that flow of God 's presence coming in testimony and the preaching of the word , and the interacting of the two . Experience does n't change the nature of reality , in my view . I think one of the risks in experience being the foundation of faith is that , if you have not had that experience , it ca n't possibly be true . We can trip into pri ? ? vi ? leging a particular kind of ex ? ? periential knowledge as being the marker of belief . Andy , could you talk through your recommendations for min ? istering in a secular age @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ as something clerical , or something pro ? ? ? ? ? fes ? sional , and I 'm really trying to think of it as being a kind of divine reality . That then means that you have to receive ministry as much as give ministry . We tend to think that there are all sorts of human action that are much more powerful than ministry : study the law , be a scientist , be a Silicon-Valley entrepreneur , or innovator . I want to make an argument that , maybe , the strongest form of human action we have in the universe is a very weak form , and that is ministry . If we follow this God who comes to us incarnate , crucified , and resur ? rected , only ministry particip ? ates in what is dead for the sake of making it alive . It looks very weak . It looks like sitting with someone who is crying and grieving the death of their father -- that 's a powerful thing . Advertisement NS : Part of our @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ contested term , because it has been defining a certain set of functions . But the ministry or mission that the whole people of God are called to par ? ticipate in is way , way bigger than that . I would extend the term and be very happy with that . I was talking to some people about workplace chaplaincy as their ministry . What the word " chaplain " had given them -- they are not for ? m ? al chaplains -- was a language and permission to work out what does it mean to engage in faith-sharing conversations with colleagues . Where does the Holy Spirit fit into all of this ? NS : I 'm part of the Renewal and Reform team , and that is often seen as being a change programme in the Church , or a managerial programme -- and it is , in its reform bit . But fundamentally it 's about renewal : it 's about the fact that , to be a trans ? formed Church will only happen if we open ourselves up vulnerably to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ? viduals , as commu ? nities , to engage with others where God is already active and present . AR : In a secular age , one of the things that happens for the pastor is that you have this deep sense that your own identity becomes lost . What are you actually for ? But to think that your identity may be to teach people to pray is a really profound thing , because there is nowhere else in the world that they 'll learn to pray . Prayer is the opening up to the Holy Spirit to reveal the living Christ among us , continuing to move the world into the very life-giving gift of the Father . Our participation in it is n't neces ? sarily maybe to build great struc ? tures , or come up with the most popular podcast . . . But to teach people to pray . And to pray our ? selves . |

The sentence 'The first time you made money out of being a musician...' does not fit the transitive out of -ing construction. The NP object 'money' does not function as a causee, and the sentence does not have either a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it describes making money from an activity, which is not the intended meaning of the construction.

Each week , we ask one artist a set of quick-fire questions that all start with ' the first ' , from their first shows and paycheques to the first time they got drunk and fell in love . Up next is Miguel , the Grammy-winning R&B star who 's just dropped the first single from his eagerly anticipated new EP , Funeral Miguel might be a global sex symbol , but if his last two projects are anything to go by , it seems that the R&B supremo is searching for something more . Make no mistake , his new single , " Funeral " -- the titular track from his upcoming EP -- is still about sex , but it 's also got a much darker , more existential side than the smooth , feel-good songs that earned him his risqu ? reputation back at the start of the decade . It makes sense : his last English language release ( the 34-year-old Californian put out a Spanish EP back in April ) , 2017 's critically acclaimed fourth album War & Leisure , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ his new-found interest in spiritualism , from transcendental meditation to social conscience . The Grammy winner , who , drawing on influences from indie pop to funk , sits alongside the likes of Frank Ocean and The Weeknd in the pop culture stable and is most often compared to Prince , has honed his signature style to perfection , making this upcoming output all the more exciting . " I 'm releasing more music all the way into the new year but ' Funeral ' is the perfect song to get it started , " says Miguel . " I 've been exploring darker tones and themes for some time . This song whets the imagination for what 's to come . " In honour of the Funeral EP , we asked Miguel to take our regular " the first " -themed Q&A , where he covers everything from his first love to fake cheating stories via the time he got arrested on his way to a party and ended up in jail for two days . The first time you realised you wanted to be a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to say it but I was lucky . I 've always known I 've wanted to make music . " The first time you played in front of a live audience ... " Kindergarten . I sang a song called ' The World Is A Rainbow ' . Wow , could n't be more appropriate going into 2020 -- the song is all about how all the different colours and ethnicities should love each other . Pretty crazy . The world is a rainbow . I can still remember the song . " The first time you made money out of being a musician ... " In the States there 's this dude named Cupid and he had a song called the ' Cupid Shuffle ' and they were looking for a second single . I ca n't remember what it was called ... but that !

It was n't a college party , actually , it was all of her coworkers @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , her coworkers have a party . I get smashed . It was Grey Goose vodka , which is so crazy to think that I used to drink vodka . Great times . " The first time you fell properly in love ... " That was my first girlfriend . I 'm a late bloomer ! Which is the same girlfriend whom I got drunk with for the first time . Back in 2004/2005 I was chasing this girl all throughout high school and I did n't even know her , we were n't even friends until our junior year . She did n't even know who I was until junior year and we became really close . And I thought that she was going to be my girlfriend , but she left over the summer between high school and college and then we ended up going to the same community college . I was like , ' I 'm not going to college , I 'm going to make music , but while I 'm not all the way done I guess I 'll pretend to go @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ I was enrolled , but I never went . And I made her chase me for six months . Then we got together and we got drunk and everything turned out all right . " The first time you blew your paycheque frivolously ... " It was a Dior jacket . I was not making money and I had just finished demoing a song for Diane Warren and I could n't believe how much money she was paying me to demo . It was insane at the time , in terms of demoing . It was , like , a $1,500 cheque and I probably cut the song in an hour and a half . And she was so impressed at how fast I was , I do n't think they were expecting it . But the rate was going to be what it was regardless , however long it was going to take me . But I could n't believe I cut a song in and hour and a half and I got paid $1,500 . And this was back in 2005 or 2006 . And I @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Dior jacket and I think the whole thing was $1,700 . I still have that jacket . Which goes to show , when you buy things that you really love it will last . " The first time you felt like you were actually famous ... " It 's probably less of a moment and more of a moment in time . I was spending a lot of time in New York doing the release of my first album , which is now pretty much a decade ago . And just the entire time in New York there was a bubbling of excitement around my music . And in New York people just walk around . And I just remember walking around and everywhere I went people were recognising me and asking for photos and I think that was when I was like , ' Oh , OK , people know who I am . This is stupid . ' But then the first European Tour and people knowing who I am was another moment where I was like , ' Oh , shit , I 'm kinda @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ read a piece of fake news about yourself ... " Plenty of times . There 's been a couple of times being with certain women or ' cheating ' . Early on , those were the ones . Once they found out that I had a girlfriend there was a couple of outlets that were going for me . I 'd be like , ' Wait a second . Relax . I was out with a group of people . We were all hanging out . Do n't single out one person . ' But , yeah , I do n't really be out here like that , for fake news ... " The first record you ever bought ... " It was a Boyz II Men album . Hilarious . " The first time a politician made you mad ... " I get mad at a lot of those at the top who do n't work for the majority of people , but have selfish agendas . I probably did n't pay much notice to politics until the towers came down , but there @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . " The first time you heard a song you wished you 'd written ... " I remember my first time hearing ' Hotel California ' . It was with my dad 's best friend 's son , who was like a big brother and who also happened to be a football star in our small town high school -- all the girls liked him -- so he was n't just the coolest dude to me because he was older . So he was playing ' Hotel California ' and I remember him explaining all of the innuendo in the song and the last line is like , ' They stab it with their steely knives but they just ca n't kill the beast ' and he was like , ' Do you know what they 're talking about ? ' and he was like , ' Cocaine ' and I was like , ' Oh , my God , this is incredible !

Eighth grade . I grew up fighting because I 'm Mexican and black and in the little town I grew up in inside of Los Angeles there was a lot of racial tension in the Nineties . So there was many times that I threw a punch that I meant , but it was probably because I was just defending myself more so than rage . But the first time I threw a punch where I was really wanting to hurt someone , because there was anger behind it , was in eighth grade , because this kid was screwing with me for years . From the first day of middle school he was screwing with me .

I accidentally pulled over in front of a fire hydrant , which is illegal in the States , so I put my hazards on and of course there 's a police car behind me .

Netflix 's The Witcher is coming back for a second season , although we 'll be waiting until 2021 to see Henry Cavill as Geralt again . Now the community surrounding the show ( and CD Projekt Red 's games ) are fan-casting Vesemir , the experienced Witcher who acts as a mentor and a father figure of sorts to Geralt . Just to make this clear , there 's been absolutely zero confirmation that Vesemir will even exist in the second season of The Witcher . For now though , fans are having fun theorizing about who would be cast should the role appear , which sort of kicked off with Mark Hamill 's tweet below . I think I could pretty easily see Mark Hamill playing an elderly Vesemir . This would n't be the first mentor figure he 's played in recent years ( looking at you , The Last Jedi ) .

The Duchess of Cornwall is certainly a style icon in her own right and we just love her for it .

We round up her most memorable outfits , so grab a cup of tea and get scrolling ... We all love a bit of sparkle and Camilla looked stunning in early 2001 , at a Fashion Show At WaddesdonManor , Buckinghamshire , in Aid Of The Macmillan Cancer Relief Charity . We adore the plethora of sequins on this sparkly number and of course , the diamond bling . We still ca n't get over how exquisite Camilla looked on her wedding day .

With a coordinating large hat and decked out in her finest jewels , the wife of Prince Charles looked racecourse ready as she rode in a carriage with Her Majesty the Queen . Earlier this month , Camilla and Charles attended the Royal Film Performance of 1917 at the ODEON Luxe , Leicester Square and Camilla dressed to impress , dazzling onlookers in a floor-length black velvet evening gown by Bruce Oldfield and matching cape with a bright pink lining . As always , the royal was the queen of accessories , carrying an elegant black and gold clutch . Camilla often wears soft , feminine colours @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ our street .

Qassem Soleimani and his comrades who were killed in Iraq by a U.S. drone strike , are carried on a truck surrounded by mourners AP Mourners carry the coffins of Iran 's top general Qasem Soleiman AP Iran has vowed " harsh retaliation " for the U.S. airstrike near Baghdad 's airport AP His daughter Zenaib Soleimani told the crowds on a television broadcast : " Crazy Trump , do n't think that everything is over with my father 's martyrdom . " Ms Soleimani added : " Families of the American soldiers in western Asia have witnessed America 's humiliation in Syria , Iraq , Lebanon , Afghanistan , Yemen and Palestine wars , and will spend their days waiting for the death of their children . " Tens of thousands of Iranians gather to mourn Soleimani Iran has promised to avenge the killing of General Soleimani , the architect of Iran 's drive to extend its influence across the region and a national hero among many Iranians , even many of those who did not consider themselves @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ The scale of the crowds in Tehran shown on television mirrored the masses that gathered in 1989 for the funeral of the founder of the Islamic Republic , Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini . General Qasem Soleimani was killed in a US drone strike ( AP ) In response to Iran 's warnings , President Trump has threatened to hit 52 Iranian sites , including cultural targets , if Tehran attacks Americans or US assets , deepening a crisis that has heightened fears of a major Middle East conflagration . The coffins of the Iranian general and Iraqi militia leader Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis , who was also killed in Friday 's attack on Baghdad airport , were passed across the heads of mourners massed in central Tehran , many of them chanting " Death to America " . One of the Islamic Republic 's major regional goals , namely to drive US forces out of neighbouring Iraq , came a step closer on Sunday when the Iraqi parliament backed a recommendation by the prime minister for all foreign troops to be ordered out . " Despite @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it remains best for Iraq on principle and practically , " said Iraqi caretaker Prime Minister Adel Abdul Mahdi , who resigned in November amid anti-government protests . Iraq 's rival Shi'ite leaders , including ones opposed to Iranian influence , have united since Friday 's attack in calling for the expulsion of US troops . The funeral was attended by some of Iran 's allies in the region , including Ismail Haniyeh , the leader of Palestinian group Hamas who said : " I declare that the martyred commander Soleimani is a martyr of Jerusalem . " Adding to tensions , Iran said it was taking another step back from commitments under a 2015 nuclear deal with six major powers , a pact from which the United States withdrew in 2018 . Washington has since imposed tough sanctions on Iran , describing its policy as " maximum pressure " and saying it wanted to drive down Iranian oil exports - the main source of government revenues - to zero . |

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'drive US forces out of neighbouring Iraq' involves the verb 'drive' followed by 'out of', but the subsequent element 'neighbouring Iraq' is a noun phrase, not a VP[-ing] predicate. Additionally, the interpretation does not align with either the movement/extraction or prevention interpretations characteristic of the transitive out of -ing construction.

Qassem Soleimani and his comrades who were killed in Iraq by a U.S. drone strike , are carried on a truck surrounded by mourners AP Mourners carry the coffins of Iran 's top general Qasem Soleiman AP Iran has vowed " harsh retaliation " for the U.S. airstrike near Baghdad 's airport AP His daughter Zenaib Soleimani told the crowds on a television broadcast : " Crazy Trump , do n't think that everything is over with my father 's martyrdom . " Ms Soleimani added : " Families of the American soldiers in western Asia have witnessed America 's humiliation in Syria , Iraq , Lebanon , Afghanistan , Yemen and Palestine wars , and will spend their days waiting for the death of their children . " Tens of thousands of Iranians gather to mourn Soleimani Iran has promised to avenge the killing of General Soleimani , the architect of Iran 's drive to extend its influence across the region and a national hero among many Iranians , even many of those who did not consider themselves @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ The scale of the crowds in Tehran shown on television mirrored the masses that gathered in 1989 for the funeral of the founder of the Islamic Republic , Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini . General Qasem Soleimani was killed in a US drone strike ( AP ) In response to Iran 's warnings , President Trump has threatened to hit 52 Iranian sites , including cultural targets , if Tehran attacks Americans or US assets , deepening a crisis that has heightened fears of a major Middle East conflagration . The coffins of the Iranian general and Iraqi militia leader Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis , who was also killed in Friday 's attack on Baghdad airport , were passed across the heads of mourners massed in central Tehran , many of them chanting " Death to America " . One of the Islamic Republic 's major regional goals , namely to drive US forces out of neighbouring Iraq , came a step closer on Sunday when the Iraqi parliament backed a recommendation by the prime minister for all foreign troops to be ordered out . " Despite @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it remains best for Iraq on principle and practically , " said Iraqi caretaker Prime Minister Adel Abdul Mahdi , who resigned in November amid anti-government protests . Iraq 's rival Shi'ite leaders , including ones opposed to Iranian influence , have united since Friday 's attack in calling for the expulsion of US troops . The funeral was attended by some of Iran 's allies in the region , including Ismail Haniyeh , the leader of Palestinian group Hamas who said : " I declare that the martyred commander Soleimani is a martyr of Jerusalem . " Adding to tensions , Iran said it was taking another step back from commitments under a 2015 nuclear deal with six major powers , a pact from which the United States withdrew in 2018 . Washington has since imposed tough sanctions on Iran , describing its policy as " maximum pressure " and saying it wanted to drive down Iranian oil exports - the main source of government revenues - to zero . |

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. It also does not give rise to a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it describes a state where the ball was not in Irving's hands, which is unrelated to the transitive out of -ing construction.

Over the years , LeBron James has become something of a social media savant . He uses it to shape narratives , raise eyebrows or even settle issues when the basketball world or his team grows chaotic . This summer , in the weeks following the Cleveland Cavaliers ' loss to the Golden State Warriors in the NBA Finals , with the foundation of the franchise eroding with each passing news cycle , James ' Instagram account has been a mirthful sea of calm -- poking fun at his bald head in a workout video , throwing a glib jab at frenemy Draymond Green , posting a picture of his son 's birthday cake and his longtime trainer 's birthday party and , on July 7 , posting a shot of himself frolicking on a beach in Mexico . There was no whiff of the organizational failures to keep former general manager David Griffin , or to hire Chauncey Billups to replace him . There was not even a hint at the disappointment James felt when potential trades for Paul George and Jimmy Butler fell through before and after the June 22 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ text message from Indiana Pacers general manager Kevin Pritchard undid an agreement on a blockbuster deal for George the Cavs were just starting to celebrate , a moment that now lives in infamy within the organization . Instead , in post after post , James has repeated one hashtag : #striveforgreatness . The truth is these Cavs might not be striving for greatness together much longer . James has yet to give any assurances of his intention to stay beyond next summer . Yet , even with the sudden stress , there 's a strong belief that if this group stayed together , it could be right back in the Finals next June . That was James ' message anyway : The highly filtered , expertly constructed group plan James constantly reinforced publicly through social media and privately through a delicate team alchemy found on the way to Cleveland 's first title in 52 years in 2016 . But on July 7 , as James was enjoying the end of his vacation in Mexico , Kyrie Irving had another agenda . Irving was tired of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ another superstar -- even one of the best players of all time -- in control of his fate . Yes , he had learned from James in the three seasons they 'd played together . Yes , he was appreciative . But Irving felt the time had come to take his destiny into his own hands . He wanted to be the centerpiece of a team , as he thought he was going to be three years ago , when he signed a five-year extension 11 days before James decided to come home . James has signed three contracts with the Cavs since Irving 's long-term commitment , and James can be a free agent again next year . Although he has given no legitimate indication he wants to leave Cleveland , he has also given no ironclad indication he wants to stay for a fourth contract . And it is unlikely he will offer any such assurance about his future in the short term , a reality everyone involved with the Cavs has been aware of . And so on July 7 , the kid who used @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ moves in the driveway of his New Jersey home , walked into a planned sit-down with Cavs owner Dan Gilbert and asked to be traded . Then he told him he preferred it to be to one of four teams : the Minnesota Timberwolves , San Antonio Spurs , Miami Heat or New York Knicks . Irving had been thinking about this day for some time . In preparation , he 'd reached out to people he trusted seeking advice on how to go about it . Over the previous few months , the Cavs had been worried about Irving 's mindset . They knew at times he 'd grown unhappy with playing a secondary role on the team . Griffin had several conversations with Irving throughout the year , sources said , trying to find ways to improve the situation . But Irving had become irritated before , the side effects of James ' greatness -- and largesse -- wearing on him . The Cavs had been able to navigate it , and they hoped to again . Of all the things an NBA general manager @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ perhaps most important . You can get salary-cap experts for the financial wizardry necessary to pilot an NBA franchise . Coaches are tasked with strategy and player development . But everything else -- the competing agendas , the massaging of superstar ambitions and frustrations -- all that falls on someone else . A behind-the-scenes guy , an assistant coach with a high emotional intelligence or , in Cleveland 's case , the GM . There is perhaps no front-office role in the NBA with as complicated a set of personalities to manage as the Cavs ' job . From the famously eruptive and impatient Gilbert , to James ' blend of passive-aggressiveness and Irving 's penchant to retreat and pout or beat himself up , the Cavs have been walking on something of an emotional tightrope for the past three years . Griffin always managed it -- or them , as it were -- as best he could . But by July 7 , Griffin was in New York , meeting with the Knicks and deciding whether he wanted to be their general manager . His time in Cleveland @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Gilbert declined to give him a new contract . Could LeBron James and Kyrie Irving part ways after three seasons together ? Elsa/Getty Much of Irving 's disenchantment with James was rooted in game play , sources said . James , as a once-in-a-lifetime talent , controlled the ball more than any other forward perhaps in league history . Which means the ball was out of Irving 's hands more than he preferred . That said , Irving led the Cavs in shots in the 2016-17 season , averaging 1.5 more per game than James , and Irving averaged a career-high 25.9 points . It was the first time in James ' career he did n't lead his team in shots per game . But there were ancillary issues that bothered Irving , too , such as how James ' good friend Randy Mims had a position on the Cavs ' staff and traveled on the team plane while none of Irving 's close friends were afforded the same opportunity . Irving chafed about how peers such as Damian Lillard and John Wall were the center of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ there , as Wall was envious of Irving 's Nike shoe deal and Lillard has never advanced beyond the second round of the playoffs . Irving has been to three Finals and has a championship . Several times during the Cavs ' playoff run , Irving had long , intense conversations with James as they tried to get the team into a groove following a choppy and inconsistent regular season , sources said . After a horrible loss to San Antonio on March 27 , one in which Irving tied a career-worst plus-minus rating of minus-29 , as he scored only eight points on 4-of-13 shooting , Irving was distraught . The Cavs had just lost for the third time in four games to fall out of first place in the Eastern Conference for the first time all season . Irving put up extra shots on the Spurs ' court , then went into the Cavs ' locker room , buried his feet in a bucket of ice and covered his head with a towel as he had an extended and emotional conversation with James . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ championship is enough . It 's natural for human beings to just get comfortable , " Irving said a few days later , after he 'd had time to process . " But if you a m-----f----- , you want two championships , you want three , you want four , like you say you do . And I want more . I 'm going to go take it . My job as one of the leaders on the team is to bring my guys with me . " James had come to understand and admire Irving 's insatiable drive . He 'd also come to understand that sometimes he needed to give his 25-year-old co-star space to process things on his own . After the season , there was a desire to arrange a meeting to clear the air from all sides , sources said , but it did n't take place . Unlike most teams , the Cavs did not have postseason exit meetings with their players . Had a meeting with Irving taken place , the Cavs might have learned of the severity of his @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on other matters , namely Griffin 's future . In the week after the end of the Finals , two events took place : George informed the Indiana Pacers he did not plan to re-sign with them , and he entered the trade market full force . And Griffin and Gilbert were unable to come to terms on a contract . Griffin left the franchise , along with assistant GM Trent Redden . What followed was a whirlwind , with the Cavs putting forth a series of trade packages looking to acquire either Butler or George . Some of these talks included Irving , which upset him even more when he found out about it , sources said . Previously , Griffin had worked to keep lines of communication with Irving open , but now Irving was in the dark . The Cavs made an offer to the Bulls for Butler , sources said , but Chicago never seriously engaged them , and there was no traction . Butler communicated with Cavs players -- including James and Irving , according to sources -- but the sides were @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the draft , sources said , the Cavs had talks with the Phoenix Suns and Utah Jazz as they looked for a way to get George . The most serious of those conversations involved the Suns and a package including the No. 4 overall pick and Eric Bledsoe . The Jazz had expressed interest in Irving for the past few years , but sources said those discussions never got that serious . On draft night , as the Chicago Bulls were finalizing a deal with the Wolves to move Butler , the Cavs were feverishly trying to assemble a three-team trade with the Pacers . The Denver Nuggets had a strong desire to acquire Kevin Love and became a legitimate trade partner with Indiana . The Nuggets were willing to include wing Gary Harris and the No. 13 pick in that night 's draft to get Love , and the Cavs would reroute the assets to Indy for George , sources said . But they could n't complete the deal . Indiana was working on another option with the Portland Trail Blazers , sources said , as they @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . Eventually , everyone moved on and the Nuggets traded the No. 13 pick to Utah in a package for Trey Lyles . Over the next week , the Cavs were in a state of uncertainty . Billups had two interviews with Gilbert , one in Detroit and another in Cleveland , but he had n't accepted the job . Meanwhile , Koby Altman had moved from No. 3 to acting No. 1 , working on trade calls as the interim GM while hearing reports of Billups and whom he might bring in to fill his front office . Kyrie Irving 's trade demand is the latest , and perhaps most serious , consequence of the dysfunction in Cleveland since the NBA Finals . Joe Murphy/NBAE via Getty The Cavs kept working with the Nuggets , trying to win a deal that would satisfy the Pacers and allow Denver to get Love and the Cavs to get George . Both were concerned about Boston , who could trump their offers for George but might have been waiting to see if it could secure Gordon Hayward in free @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ June 30 , the sides thought they had a deal . On a conference call between the teams , everyone tentatively agreed . George to the Cavs , Love to the Nuggets , Harris and other pieces to the Pacers , sources said . Plans were put in place for a call to be arranged between George and Gilbert , an important step before the trade would become final , sources said . The front office began making other plans to complement George as free agency was about to begin . But then Pritchard , who had been on the conference call when the deal was tentatively agreed to , sent the message that his team was backing out , sources said . There was no deal . The teams tried to save it , but shortly thereafter , news broke that George was being traded to Oklahoma City . Pritchard might have had many reasons for changing his mind , including not wanting to trade George to a division rival . In the end , all that mattered was George was no longer an option for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . He withdrew from consideration of being Griffin 's replacement on July 3 after several rounds of contract talks with Gilbert failed . Four days later , with the coaching staff and front office in Las Vegas for the start of summer league , Irving 's stunning request came . After the meeting , Gilbert flew to Nevada to join the team and for the standard summer ownership meetings . He called a meeting in his hotel suite with his front office , including Altman , and informed them of Irving 's request , sources said . It was a long meeting in which the group began the difficult discussions about how to move forward . They decided they would take their time , study the process and look for a way to maximize the situation . Gilbert gave his young group a jolt of confidence and they left believing they could still emerge from this situation OK . Irving has immense trade value , and they would have the chance to retrofit the roster in a way that might help them against the Warriors . In @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ began to hear the news . Some were taken aback . " Sure , we 've had our fair share of moments and kind of chaotic times , and that 's obviously been well documented , but at the same time we 've had a lot of joy , " one Cavs player told ESPN . " I hope Kyrie is with us , that 's all I got to say . At the end of the day , we 're pretty f---ing good . " The situation remained mostly secret , though rumblings of Irving 's displeasure started to ripple through the summer league rumor mill . Gilbert opened contract talks with Altman to take over as permanent GM , eventually agreeing with him on a three-year contract . Altman decided to make Mike Gansey , who once played for the Cavs ' D-League team in Erie , Pennsylvania , and has slowly risen through the ranks after starting as an intern , his No. 2 . Then , on Friday , it went public with an ESPN report , and the Cavs ' phones started @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ team and players had already gone through stages of shock . That included James , who changed his social media mood late Saturday , going melancholy . In his classic , multilayered way , he posted a short video on Instagram with a new song from Meek Mill called " Heavy Heart " blasting inside a car , nodding and shaking his head to these lyrics : |

| gb-12057 | 20-01-06 | forces more international investors out of emerging | 3 | That would benefit the Dollar against all currencies other than the Japanese Yen and Swiss Franc but it also provide support to the Euro in the short-term if it forces more international investors out of emerging markets . | [link] | ⭕ |
Reasoning
×
The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate, where 'it' (the subject) forces 'more international investors' (the object) out of 'emerging markets' (the VP2[-ing] predicate). This gives rise to a movement/extraction interpretation, where the investors are caused to move out of emerging markets as if by forcing. The verb 'forces' fits into the category of exerting force or pressure, which is one of the classifications for verbs in the V1 slot of the construction. Therefore, this sentence is an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

Technical studies suggest Sterling could yet still rise to levels against the Euro not seen since 2016 , however such gains are unlikely to occur as soon as this week as the UK currency endures a soft start to 2020 . Sterling was on the back foot as the new year commended , with the move lower coming without any obvious catalyst , but some analysts suggest lingering anxieties over upcoming trade negotiations between the EU and UK could be playing a part in the currency 's weakness . The Pound is likely to remain in a consolidative pattern against the Euro over coming days , as the soft start to 2020 extends a little further . However , at some point over coming weeks the GBP/EUR exchange rate could recommence themedium-term rally that has been in place since August 2019 . Technical analysts at Commerzbank have suggested that a break above the exchange rate 's recent @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Pound is a buy upon any weakness . Above : Pound-to-Euro rate shown at 4-hour intervals . " Our bias within these two limits is neutral but near term while capped by the 5 month downtrend we will err on the bearish side and allow for another failure and possible retest of the 0.8239 recent low , " says Karen Jones , head of technical analysis at Commerzbank , referring to the inverse of GBP/EUR . A EUR/GBP rate of 0.8239 would mean a Pound-to-Euro rate of 1.2137 , which is above the recent peak around 1.2080 and would be the highest level seen by Sterling against the Euro since June 29 , 2016 - barely more than a week after the Brexit referendum . Jones says the EUR/GBP rate will remain offered below the 55-day moving-average of 0.8587 , which means the Pound-to-Euro rate is expected to retain an upside bias above 1.1645 . But she 's told clients to walk away from their bets on Sterling if the exchange rate happens to fall below 1.1627 . " EUR/GBP at the end of last @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ moving average at .8226 , but the rebound has so far been capped by the 5 month downtrend at .8596 , " Jones writes in a briefing to clients . Above : Pound-to-Euro rate shown at weekly intervals . AA Pound Sterling softened against both the Euro and Dollar heading into the weekend as investors responded to an admission by President Donald Trump that U.S. forces were responsible for the killing of a senior Iranian military commander in Iraq , stoking tensions between the two rivals that are likely to again set the agenda in currency markets early in the new week . Tensions were already rising between the U.S. and Iran after the White House said the U.S. was responsible for an earlier missile attack on an Iran-backed militant group in Iraq , although the death of targeting of General Qassem Soleimani earlier in the week has exacerbated the fued . And President Trump may now have upped the stakes again when saying via his Twitter feed late Saturday the U.S. has preselected 52 sites inside Iran for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ personnel in Iraq or elsewhere are targeted by Iran-enabled forces . Investors are unlikely to welcome the hawkish White House rhetoric , which could see risk assets remain on the back foot Monday and safe-havens continue to outperform . That would benefit the Dollar against all currencies other than the Japanese Yen and Swiss Franc but it also provide support to the Euro in the short-term if it forces more international investors out of emerging markets . In that environment the now-slow-moving domestic story could easily fall by the wayside for Sterling . Monday sees the IHS Markit final services PMI for December released at 09:30 and consensus is for the earlier ' flash ' estimate of 49.0 to be revised higher to 49.1 , although risk might be to the downside given that both the construction and manufacturing surveys have already surprised on the downside despite markets also looking for upward revisions there too . " Figures covering the pre-election period are affected by high political uncertainty , so the poor PMIs for December should n't cause too much concern , " says Andrew Wishart at @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for the post-election period . It is in these we need to see some improvement in order to confirm a " Boris bounce " . If that does n't happen , expect interest rates to be cut in the following months . " Tuesday sees the Withdrawal Agreement Bill back before parliament for the ' committee stage ' before the whole of House , which could take until the end of Wednesday , while Lords amendments and the Third Reading of the bill are expected to take place Thursday . The bill is the legislative vehicle through which the withdrawal agreement is brought into force . Prime Minister Boris Johnson 's withdrawal bill is widely expected to become law given the scale of the Conservative majority so the event itself is seen by analysts as unlikely to move the Pound , which will leave Sterling to take its cues from developments in the international arena and on the charts . That being said , Johnson will meet European Commission chief Ursula Von der Leyen in Downing Street on Wednesday as markets wait to hear if a possible @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Trump will be confirmed . Senior Tories have been calling for the government to waste no time in starting parallel trade negotiations with the U.S. and Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab is set to meet Secretary of State Mike Pompeo in London Thursday , although that meeting may now be overshadowed by the State Department 's ire over the UK 's response to recent events in Iraq , which has echoed that of France and Germany . " Three and a half years after the EU membership referendum , the UK will finally leave the EU in 4 weeks ' time , " says Jane Foely , head of FX strategy at Rabobank . " The tone and the pace of the talks between the UK and the EU will be instrumental for guiding GBP in the months ahead and we see ample scope for GBP/USD to dip back to the 1.28 area as politicians on both sides lay out their positions . If an appropriate deal is successfully negotiated it is possible that GBP/USD could trade in a 1.35-1.40 range in 2021 . That said , there is a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ realistic prospect . " AA Europe 's single currency advanced on the Dollar and Pound during the European session Friday but still close the week a fraction lower against both , although the outlook for the week ahead is uncertain . The Euro was borrowed and sold frequently last year in order to fund wagers on emerging market currencies , which have all cratered ever since the killing of Iran 's General General Qassem Soleimani , so it could benefit intermittently from weakness in the developing world if investors have to buy back the single currency in order to exit their exotic trades . And those emerging market currencies , not to mention other risk assets , might not fare too well on Monday when markets wake to the latest threats from the U.S. against Iran . " The Japanese yen should once again outperform - especially against those risk-sensitive currencies directly exposed to oil exports via the Straits of Hormuz , i.e. the Korean won and the Indian rupee . Notably EUR/USD has shown very little correlation with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ we would favour higher USD yields and US near energy independence keeping EUR/USD gently offered , " says Chris Turner , head of strategy at ING . Fresh geopolitical tensions have prompted fears of a conflict with Iran in the Gulf and thrown the Dollar a lifeline because previously it was being crushed by jubilation over Trump 's claim that the much-vaunted but always-elusive ' phase one deal ' to end the trade war with China will be signed at the White House on January 15 . That had fueled an increase in so-called risk currencies as well as the Euro , although economic data due out of Europe will also have an impact on the Euro-to-Dollar rate in the week ahead . Key items on the economic docket include Eurozone inflation figures for December as well as German factory orders and industrial production numbers for November . With Europe 's most recent and ongoing bout of economic weakness having its roots in the industrial sector of the continent 's largest economy , Wednesday and Thursday 's figures will be watched closely by the market for signs of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ were shown stabilising for the month of December , suggesting the worst of the global industrial sector 's woes may now be behind it . Markets are looking for Eurozone inflation to rise from 1% to 1.3% for the month of December and for the core rate of inflation , which excludes food and energy items from the goods basket , to hold steady at 1.3% . The numbers are unlikely to cause any harm to the Euro although the European Central Bank ( ECB ) is seen as unlikely to lift its interest rate any time soon whatever the economic and inflationary weather so the data might not do much positive for the single currency either . German factory orders are expected to have risen 0.3% in November after declining -0.4% in October while industrial production is seen rising 0.9% , which would partially reverse a 1.7% decline from the previous month . The numbers will need to beat market expectations in order to have any hope of engineering and upturn in the Euro-to-Dollar rate . " The greenback remains a well-functioning safe haven for global @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ fall , investors push into the dollar , " says Ulrich Leuchtmann , head of FX strategy at Commerzbank . " It is therefore not surprising that , in light of the news of US air strikes on Iran , the Dollar Index ( DXY ) is rising and marching towards 97.00 again , and that EUR-USD is relinquishing most of its gains from the end of 2019 .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). Instead, it uses 'pulls out of' in a different context, indicating withdrawal from a role due to illness, without involving a causee or a VP2[-ing] predicate that would suggest a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation.

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. It also does not exhibit either a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it uses 'out of' in a different context, referring to creating something from nothing, which is unrelated to the transitive out of -ing construction.

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, it uses the phrase 'creating something out of nothing', which does not involve a VP[-ing] predicate and does not induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Therefore, it is not an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction. The verb 'take' is used with 'the mystery' as its object, but 'knowing it would go higher' does not function as a VP2[-ing] predicate with a causee. Additionally, there is no movement/extraction or prevention interpretation present in the sentence.

Everyone knows the tales . In the crucible of modernity that was 20th-century America , no one commanded more attention from writers , filmmakers and law makers than the Sicilian mafia . Sure , crimes change -- rackets , extortion and hit men fell from the headlines , replaced by hackers , dark web drug runners and data fraud -- but the goodfellas stuck around . With the death of Francesco ' Franky Boy ' Cali in March said to be the first killing of a Five Families boss since 1985 , GQ flew to New York to find out what they 've been doing in the shadows Anthony Arillotta swapped out his black Ford Expedition SUV for his mother 's Nissan Maxima -- less conspicuous , he thought -- then started out on the two-hour journey to New York City . It was 11 August , early in the morning , but the sun was shining and it was already warm . He 'd been instructed to meet at a restaurant called Nebraska Steakhouse near @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the heart of the Bronx . Arillotta , a small , good-looking man with thinning hair and piercing eyes , stepped out of the car into the sunshine wearing black trousers , a black dress shirt and smart black shoes . Although he did n't wear it every day , he 'd also put on his platinum Rolex -- the one with diamonds around the dial that was given to him as a gift by his boss . The restaurant was closed when Arillotta arrived , but the door was unlocked . Inside , he recognised the four men at the table , all of them captains , a senior rank in the club he was about to join . They offered him a coffee . He took a shot of espresso and the men waited for three more people to arrive . Then , it was time . ' I will never break this oath . If I do , it 'll be death on me . I will be destroyed ' Under instructions from @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ initiates began to remove their jewellery and place it on the table . They took their mobile phones from their jacket pockets and placed them alongside . Arillotta took off his watch and the gold chain with a cross that hung round his neck . Then they climbed into a black Cadillac Fleetwood parked outside . The journey was short , just a few city blocks . The Cadillac pulled up in front of an old Bronx apartment building and the men , some in suits , others in smart trousers and shirts , began to walk up a narrow set of concrete stairs to the third floor . The inside of the apartment looked more like a social club . Dimly lit , with old wooden tables and chairs , it reminded Arillotta of a Twenties gambling den . One of the captains , Stevie , told him to get undressed in the tiny bathroom down the hallway and put on a white bath robe . Then he was led into a back room where the other three captains were waiting . There was another man @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Arthur Nigro ( pronounced Ny-row ) who went by " Artie " . He was the acting boss of this club and he stood there wearing a grey suit and button-up dress shirt . " Do you know why you 're here ? " Nigro asked Arillotta . " No . I do n't know why I 'm here , " he said . He knew the responses expected of him . It was an age-old script . " We are part of a secret , honoured society . It 's exclusive and the reason you 're here today is because we 'd like you to be part of this brotherhood of ours . Is that something you would want to be part of ? " " Yes , " replied Arillotta . " If your wife was giving birth to your child and the boss called for you , would you leave her bedside and come ? " This resonated particularly strongly with Arillotta . His daughter would be born the next day . " Yes , " he said . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .38 revolver and a marble-handled knife with a six-inch blade . " You see this gun and knife , " Nigro asked him . " Would you use the knife that 's on this table to kill someone if your bosses asked you to do it ? " " Yes , " said Arillotta . " If your brother did something to harm a member of our family and we asked you to take this gun and kill him , would you do that ? " " Yes . " He asked Arillotta to point to his trigger finger and Nigro took the knife and made a small incision . A bead of blood appeared . Nigro took a small piece of cloth , wiped the blood away and placed the cloth in the palm of Arillotta 's hand . He then struck a match , lit the corner of the cotton and Arillotta tossed the burning linen from one hand to the other . " Non romper ? mai questo giuramento , " Nigro said then asked Arillotta to repeat in English : " @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , it 'll be death on me . I will be destroyed like this cloth in my hand . " Nigro kissed him on both cheeks then shook his hand . " Hello , friend , " he said . What looked like a scene from The Godfather or a snapshot from the annals of American crime history was in fact happening in present-day America . Arillotta had just been " made " , inducted into the Genovese crime family , the largest and most powerful of New York 's infamous Italian-American mafia dynasties . At around 9.20pm on 13 March 2019 , Francesco Cali , known as " Franky Boy " , was shot dead outside his home in Staten Island , New York . His killer apparently first crashed his blue pickup truck into Cali 's car before emptying his 9mm handgun into the 53-year-old 's body . Headlines across the world called it a gangland hit . Cali , who was the supposed head of the Gambino crime family , one of New York 's notorious five mafia clans , was the first @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ when a young John Gotti ordered the murder of then Gambino head , Paul Castellano , outside a Manhattan steak restaurant . Media speculation was rife that Cali 's was another ordered hit , demonstrating that the Italian-American mafia was still active . But Cali 's death , it turned out , did nothing of the sort . The New York Post called his killer a " Staten Island knucklehead with a personal beef over a woman " . The murder of the reported head of one of America 's biggest crime families was n't looking like a mob " hit " after all . Despite that , business has been booming for the American mafia . Anyone with any real knowledge of the mob knew that and Cali 's death did n't prove anything . Just six days before Cali 's murder , the death from old age of Carmine Persico , head of the Colombo crime family who was serving a 139-year prison sentence for racketeering , itself made headline news , but even then some media outlets spoke about Persico as if he was a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ had been a part of in the past tense . Before Persico 's death in prison -- and Cali 's death on the streets -- I 'd wanted to find out just how big the American mafia was today . I knew from a cursory reading of news reports , particularly those coming out of New York , that there had been numerous arrests and trials over the years , some recent . But those reports did n't seem to have reverberated much beyond the city , giving the impression to anyone who did n't read the New York Post or New York Daily News that the mafia was dead . I wanted to know how it operated . Did it still control the same businesses it always had ? Had it been succeeded by the Russian mob as the real power brokers of organised crime in New York ? Howard Abadinksy , a criminal justice professor at St John 's University in New York , told me that the mafia today was having a recruitment problem . The Sopranos may have romanticised organised crime , he @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ life was another thing altogether . Former FBI agent Lindley " Lin " DeVecchio had told me that while organised crime was n't going away , he did n't think the mafia had the same clout as they once did . " But , " he said , " it 'd be naive to think they were n't still in business . " In order to qualify for membership of the Genovese crime organisation , the largest and most powerful of New York 's five families , Anthony Arillotta and a friend pumped nine bullets into the body of the boss of a local cement union , under orders from the top . Later , he helped orchestrate the murder of his one-time boss , ' Big Al ' Bruno . After that , he was promoted to captain , a powerful rank in the crime family I wanted to see how close I could get to the mafia , to find out how it made its money in 21st-century America . It was a journey that would take me to New York , Massachusetts and Florida @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ cold blood and who would n't have hesitated to kill their own father to honour a century-old fraternity . Cali 's death aside , it turned out there had been numerous mob murders in recent years . In 2009 , an apparent member of the Bonanno crime family , Anthony Seccafico , was gunned down on Staten Island in what was believed to be a mafia hit . In November 2013 , gang leader Michael Meldish was found with a bullet in his head inside a parked car on a Bronx street , a hit supposedly directed by the Lucchese family -- as was a plot to kill a Bonanno associate the year before . In June 2016 , a Brooklyn pizzeria owner called Louis Barbati was shot to death in his back yard in what was probably a mob hit . Just last October , a reputed associate of the Bonanno crime family was killed while waiting at a drive-through window of a Bronx McDonald 's in his SUV . Police described it as a " mafia-style assassination " , but that assassin is still at @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ problem for law enforcement . Billed as the largest coordinated arrest in FBI history , almost 130 members of New York and New England mafia families were arrested in 2011 in what became known as " Mafia Takedown Day " . To illustrate just how active the mob are today , you need only look at recent court filings . During the 2016 trial of Carmine Persico 's son , Michael , described as an " associate " of the Colombo crime family , the government called their star witness , " Big Anthony " Russo , a former soldier in the family turned informant . Street gangs such as MS-13 post their crimes on Facebook . That 's not the mafia 's style The American mafia -- or La Cosa Nostra -- formed in the late 19th century in the Italian immigrant ghettos of New York . By the Twenties they 'd moved into the illegal alcohol trade , taking advantage of Prohibition . When that ended , mafia groups expanded into the construction industry , sanitation and drugs . A gangster named Charles " Lucky @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a structure that would endure to this day . He established The Commission , consisting of the bosses of each of the five families , to solve disputes , vote on issues and apportion business . By the late Eighties , the era of machine guns and fedoras had been replaced by the designer suits , jewellery and pearly white smile of John Gotti . Known as the " Dapper Don " , Gotti became the brash head of the Gambino family after ordering the hit on Paul Castellano . He was eventually imprisoned in 1992 and died of throat cancer ten years later . Since then , the mafia seemed to have quietened down -- or at least the media coverage had . Today , wherever in the US the mafia happens to be operating , all roads , ultimately , lead to New York . One morning this spring I met with two lawyers from the US Attorney 's Office for the Eastern District of New York at a caf ? in Brooklyn . The city had just endured a brief winter storm and snow was piled @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ steel railway arches . Allon Lifshitz is the perfectly coiffed deputy chief of the office 's criminal division . His colleague Kristin Mace is the gutsy chief of the Organized Crime And Gangs Section , tasked with prosecuting the mob . Forget the Russian mafia , the Albanians , the Japanese Yakuza or Chinese Triads : the Italian-American mafia still rules the roost in New York . " It 's a significant presence and no less than in the past , " Mace told me . " I do n't think there 's any other organised crime group that has surpassed it in influence in New York City . " All five families exist and are thriving . Every time one boss is convicted , another steps in , they said . So what 's changed ? Allon Lifshitz is deputy chief of the criminal division of the US Attorney 's Office for the Eastern District of New York . Together with his colleague Kristin Mace , the current chief of the Organized Crime And Gangs Section , Lifshitz is responsible for prosecuting the mob . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ he told GQ , ' no less than in the past ' Lifshitz said their drug operations are probably more formalised today . " There 's always been a rule against selling drugs in the mob , but more of our big cases involving the big moneymakers involve drugs , including importing drugs , such as heroin and cocaine , from overseas or selling opioids domestically . " What you think of as their traditional bread and butter -- loan-sharking and extortion -- are , " he said , " going on every day in New York City . " What has changed is the way those in the upper echelons of the mob comport themselves in public . Gone is the era of the camera-loving Gotti , who courted headlines ( his name appeared in the gossip columns almost as often as in the news sections , one journalist wrote ) and wore bespoke suits costing thousands of dollars , often finished off with a cashmere scarf and pocket handkerchief . Down too is the number of brazen executions in broad daylight . Today 's mob @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ silence ( omert ? ) also makes it harder to investigate and prosecute mob activity than other types of gang crime . Street gangs such as MS-13 in Los Angeles might post evidence of their crimes ( guns , drugs or money ) on Facebook . That 's not the American mafia 's style . Lifshitz and Mace told me one only needed to look at the court records of various trials involving mob defectors detailing their inductions into the mafia to see that this was no movie -- inductions such as that of Anthony Arillotta . So how close could I get to the mob for this story , I wondered . Both Lifshitz and Mace looked incredulous . Nobody in the mafia would talk to me , they insisted . ' It 's a mega , mega million-dollar enterprise . There 's a lot of money in being the boss ' John Alite knew instinctively that Frank Cali was n't the subject of a mob hit . He knew it because he 'd carried out enough of them @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the right-hand man of John Gotti 's son , John Gotti Jr , who temporarily took over control of the family when his father first went to prison . Alite knew that if you were going to carry out a hit you 'd have a minimum of two cars ; preferably three at the scene -- one on each corner so your target ca n't escape and the hit man 's vehicle . And if you 're hitting a boss , you bring two gunmen in case one of the weapons jams . When he was on the streets , Alite , who could n't get made in the mafia because he was n't of Italian heritage ( his parents were Albanian ) , was known as a tough guy ; he estimates he shot 30 to 40 people , baseball batted 100 more and murdered six people -- at least , those are the ones he confessed to . We meet at the Club A Steakhouse , a former mob haunt in Manhattan . It 's closed when we arrive , but Alite is friends with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in this spot for four decades . Alite saunters in wearing Dolce & Gabbana sunglasses , snakeskin black and white Louis Vuitton shoes , a Hugo Boss jacket and a mink overcoat . We sit in a booth upstairs so we can chat in private . He grew up in poverty in Queens and his baptism into the world of organised crime came when , as a child working at a local delicatessen , he was asked to run errands for some made members of the Lucchese family who ran a bookmaking business from the back of a nearby store . A kingpin of mid-century mafiosi , Albert Anastasia was shot dead in New York on 25 October 1957 Eventually , Alite met Gotti Sr. At first he looked up to him , wanted to be like him . He found it easy to make good money on the street and as his status rose in the family he also became known for the levels of violence he was willing to inflict on anyone that crossed him or his family . In 2003 , he went @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to be indicted . He was eventually arrested in Brazil on murder and racketeering charges under an Interpol warrant and spent two years in what he says was a Brazilian dungeon , " where you shit on the floor and it 's raining inside " , before being extradited to the US in 2006 . When he was in Brazil , Alite says he heard rumours that Gotti Jr was an informant and that several of his old cohort had flipped . " You ca n't beat this case , " his attorney told him . " You 've got dozens of wise guys giving you up , saying you 're a killer . " " That 's the reason I testified , " Alite tells me . He made a deal with prosecutors : he 'd plead guilty to various crimes , including murder and robbery , and testify against members of the Gambino family , including Gotti Jr . In return , he hoped for a lenient sentence . One of those members , Charles Carneglia , was sentenced to life ; Gotti Jr 's case @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ got a ten-year sentence . When we met he 'd been off parole for a year . Family ' godfather ' Carlo Gambino died of heart failure at home . His funeral was attended by top mafia lieutenants , 18 October 1976 It 's no secret that Alite is not a fan of the Gottis . He thinks Gotti Sr 's shameless preening and brazen knack for self-publicity damaged the American mafia 's brand ( he co-wrote a book , Gotti 's Rules , about this and his relationship with Gotti Jr ) . What 's happened to the mob since Gotti Sr 's death in prison in 2002 , though , is a return to its roots , Alite says . " The mob went back to the Sicilian ways . It 's gone back underground . " Alite says the mob is being restructured . " If you want structure you ca n't allow certain things to go on . You do n't kill prosecutors , you do n't kill policeman , you do n't kill journalists . You do n't kill women . All @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to keep the structure and keep the fear . It 's like a building . The concrete crumbles and it falls . Are they trying to build it from the bottom up again ? Yeah . " They 're embedded in construction , the sea ports , they 're still on Wall Street , they 're in the food industry . And in that respect nothing 's changed , he tells me . But there are fewer murders and that 's achieved two things : less heat from law enforcement , but also less fear of retribution if they 're crossed . That could change though , Alite says , if Frank Cali 's killer is convicted and sent to prison : he thinks it 's only a matter of time before the shooter is killed for what he did . " If he 's put in general population you 'll see the sleeping giant that is the mob wake up . You 'll see that the mob still exists in the United States . " Charles Carneglia threw a man 's finger into his boss ' @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ : The associate John Alite introduces me to Stevie Newell -- someone who could give me an example , he says , of just how active the mob still is . When we meet , Newell is a few weeks away from going to prison for illegally possessing weapons because he thought someone connected with the mafia was going to kill him . We chat over lunch at the Lindenwood Diner in Ozone Park , Brooklyn , a joint that has cemented its own place in New York mob folklore . It was here , according to a federal court filing , that reputed mob hit man Charles Carneglia ( who Alite testified against ) threw a man 's finger into his boss ' soup as proof he had killed someone on John Gotti Sr 's orders . I order the soup . Newell opts for a cheeseburger . Newell looks tough , like an enforcer . He 's solidly built , has a shaved head , sports a cross tattoo on the middle finger of his right hand and a small scar on his nose . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Carmine Galante , the then boss of the Bonanno family , was assassinated in Brooklyn aged 69 , 12 July 1979 Newell was born a few miles west of here in Bushwick and grew up on the streets of Queens . His father played bocce ball with members of the Bonanno family . In his teens , he started knocking around with a made man in the Genovese family who he met through his girlfriend . Newell started selling drugs , making $300 a night and was able to buy his parents new clothes for the first time . Although he could never get made -- Newell has Irish blood -- he tells me not to believe the hype . " There are more tough guys that ca n't get made than there are made guys . The saying goes : we do the work ; they take the credit . " Eventually , Newell worked under Gotti Sr 's son-in-law , Carmine Agnello , and it was n't long before the heat was on him . Newell was charged with the 1991 murder of Bruce Gotterup @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ sell drugs in Queens . Gotterup was shot five times in the back of the head . The feds offered Newell a deal , but he denied the crime and refused to wear a wire . Instead , he spent two years in jail awaiting trial , at which he was eventually found not guilty . In 2009 , Newell agreed to testify for the defence at Gotti 's trial for racketeering and murder . The feds alleged that Gotti approved Gotterup 's murder , but Newell told the court he 'd seen no evidence for that . Newell says that after Gotti 's case resulted in a mistrial , Gotti wrote a book accusing him of being a law enforcement cooperator -- " And yet I was the one on the stand trying to help him . " John Gotti Sr , the head of the Gambino family , died of cancer on 10 June 2002 . His son , John Gotti Jr , led the family in the Nineties while his father spent time in prison He tells me he 's been waiting @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ two years . ( Gotti declined to talk to me for this story . ) In the meantime , this happened : " After Junior was acquitted I had about three or four run-ins with local guys in the neighbourhood , " Newell says , " not pleasant , of course , and after a while you start feeling like you might get one of these young guys trying to make a name for themselves . " One day , a car pulled up beside Newell and a guy told him , " I should fucking kill you . " Newell says , " I started thinking that sooner or later someone 's going to try to pop a shot off at me . " So he armed himself . " On the streets you can jump in your car or run into a crowded area and nothing 's going to happen . At night you 're alone , so I purchased two firearms , a .40 calibre automatic handgun , 15 shots in each clip , and a .38 special revolver . " But Newell is a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in March 2018 , he got a knock at the door . " It was a couple of plain-clothes detectives and they had a warrant . Someone had apparently made a complaint that Newell had firearms . I ask if he knew who it was . " I have an idea , " he says . A few weeks after we talk , Newell knows he 's heading for a cell in Rikers Island to serve four months . He 's going to prison because he illegally kept guns for fear of an assassination attempt by the mob in America today . He knows the mafia code of retribution is alive and well . Also , he knows what happened to Whitey Bulger . ' I felt like I would do anything for these people . I would die for them ' It was 8.20am on a Tuesday in October 2018 that they found him , an 89-year-old man lying on the floor of a West Virginia prison cell . The official press release from the Federal Bureau Of Prisons @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ leaks to newspapers revealed a much more gruesome picture . When corrections officers reached him , the man , James Bulger -- better known as " Whitey " -- was almost unrecognisable . His eyes were nearly gouged out and he 'd been bludgeoned repeatedly with a makeshift club , fashioned by placing a lock inside a sock . After viewing surveillance video , officials discovered that two inmates had entered Bulger 's cell earlier that morning , one of them apparently a convicted hit man . Bulger 's murder would have come as little surprise to anyone in the mob world or on its fringes . Bulger was the Irish mob boss of Boston 's notorious Winter Hill Gang . At his trial in 2013 , a jury convicted him of extortion and racketeering and found him culpable in eleven murders between 1973 and 1985 . But Bulger was also a rat , an informer who turned in rivals in return for protection from corrupt law enforcement agents , inexcusable in the mafia world . What nobody could understand was why authorities had decided to transfer @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and put him with other inmates in general population . He did n't last long . And what Bulger 's death meant ( rather than Cali 's ) was that the mafia code was still alive and well today . It did n't matter how long it took ; justice would always come , even if it came late . What was really telling , though , was who had killed Bulger . All signs pointed to Fotios " Freddy " Geas , a fiftysomething mobster from Springfield , Massachusetts who was an associate of the Genovese crime family . If Bulger 's death had been ordered , those orders came from New York . Geas , who according to reports had a fearsome reputation as a ruthless killer and enforcer , was serving multiple life sentences for murder . Although he was offered a chance to reduce his sentence by turning informant , he told prosecutors he 'd rather spend the rest of his life in prison ; his attorney said his client loathed " rats " . Anthony Arillotta knew as soon as Bulger was @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Geas that Geas was probably responsible . If anyone knows what Geas is capable of it 's Arillotta . Geas and his brother Ty used to work as enforcers for Arillotta when he was a capo in the Genovese family . ' He was n't dead , so I started hitting him with the shovel . I did n't want to see the guy buried alive ' The journey by car to Springfield from Queens takes a little more than two hours . You take the coast road up through Connecticut before joining I-91 , which shoots north through Hartford up into Massachusetts . This was all Arillotta 's turf back then and this is the same journey he made countless times to meet his bosses in New York and the same journey he made in reverse in 2003 when he came to the Bronx to take part in the ceremony that formally inducted him into the mafia . Traditionally , in order to become a made member of the mob , you had to have killed someone . Today , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Arillotta says . I meet Arillotta at a small caf ? on the edge of town and he explains what he had to do in order to join . At the time , Artie Nigro was the acting boss of the Genovese family and he asked Arillotta to shoot someone in New York . That man 's name was Frank Dadabo , a local cement union boss who had n't consulted Nigro when he dished out contracts . " It was over a union issue , " Arillotta says . " He disrespected Artie somehow and Artie just wanted to give him a beating . " John Gotti Sr ordered the death of Paul Castellano , then the Gambino boss , before taking control of the family himself , 16 December 1985 Arillotta asked the Geas brothers to join him and one afternoon in May 2003 the three men drove the two hours I 'd just driven , but with guns and silencers in their car and stolen licence plates from New Haven . They parked in front of Dadabo 's apartment on a busy Bronx street @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 65-year-old Dadabo climbed into his car , Arillotta and Ty Geas ran to the vehicle and emptied nine bullets through the window . " Dadabo is sitting in his car , his head is back and his mouth wide open , " Arillotta says . " Freddy , who was our getaway driver , tells me , ' He 's dead , ' so we go back to Springfield , go about our business . The government thought the Albanians did it . They never had a clue it was us . " But Dadabo did not die -- and he did not report the shooting to police either . Arillotta would later testify that Nigro had advised him afterwards to " get better at head shots " . Soon after , Arillotta was inducted into the Genovese family . " The moment I did that I felt like I would do anything for these people , " Arillotta tells me . " There 's nothing I would n't do . I would die for them . " One well-connected mob source told me Arillotta could @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ caught . That day came in 2010 , when he was arrested for orchestrating the murder of his one-time boss Adolfo " Big Al " Bruno , who had preceded Arillotta as captain of the Genovese family in Springfield and who 'd given him the diamond-studded Rolex he 'd worn the day he was made . Bruno was 57 when he was shot in the chin , neck , elbow , cheek and groin one Sunday night in November 2003 , as he walked into the parking lot of Our Lady Of Mount Carmel Society , a social club in Springfield . He was still clutching his cigar when he died . Arillotta had paid an associate , Frankie Roche , $10,000 to carry out the assassination . When Salvatore Romano was an associate of the Gambino crime family he probably made more cash than any other mobster in America . He was the Gambinos ' man on Wall Street . He estimates he made ' north of three million bucks ' for the family , which at the time was run by the ' Dapper Don @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ pleaded guilty to the murder , the attempted murder of Dadabo and to various other offences , including drug dealing and extortion . In addition , he told authorities he 'd murdered his brother-in-law , Gary Westerman , also a mob associate , and helped bury his body . It was because of Arillotta 's testimony that Nigro ( who he said had sanctioned the hit on Bruno ) and the Geas brothers all got life in prison . Arillotta would serve just eight years . When he got out , Arillotta opted out of witness protection and moved back to Springfield . Some thought the move brazen ; the FBI reckons he still has a target on his head today . Arillotta jumps in my car and we drive around his old haunts in Springfield . He explains why he decided to cooperate with prosecutors . " I 'm indicted for Bruno 's death , heartbroken for my kids cos I 'm facing life in prison and my lawyer comes to see me , says all these people are cooperating against me , and I said @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to cooperate I 'm never going to get out of this place . ' " He says he tried to get the Geas brothers to cooperate too , but without success . " They did n't jump on board . By now it 's too late . " We arrive at a suburb called Agawam and Arillotta points me towards a small , steep entrance to a now-vacant plot of land . We drive up , park the car and walk 50 feet to the corner of the plot , now owned by the local electricity board . " I murdered Gary Westerman here , " he says , pointing to the frozen ground . " There used to be a house here . " After his confession , Arillotta accompanied investigators here and showed them the spot where he and the Geas brothers buried Westerman 's body . Westerman had married Arillotta 's sister , 30 years his junior . He had a string of robbery and drug convictions , as well as ties to the mob , and even now Arillotta has no @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ stay away , " he says . " He was giving her drugs and we 'd had enough of this guy , so I just said bring him here and I was waiting in the garage . He came in and that 's when Ty shot him seven times . But he was n't dead , so I started hitting him with the shovel . Then we dragged him over there by that track . There were more trees here back then . " As sick as it sounds , because we 're killing him , I still do n't want to see the guy buried alive , so I told Freddy to shoot him in the head . " Arillotta knows exactly what Freddy Geas is capable of . He also knows that in the mafia retribution always comes -- eventually . ' You front companies the cash , take them public , then bribe the brokers to sell the stock to their clients ' When Sal Romano was an associate of the Gambino family , he possibly made @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the Gambinos ' man on Wall Street when Gotti Sr was boss . In 2003 , he was indicted in a $100 million stock fraud and decided to turn state 's evidence in exchange for a reduced prison sentence and entry into the witness protection programme . If there 's one person who can tell me how La Cosa Nostra lines its pockets , it 's Romano . He still lives and works under an assumed name today and asks that I not identify exactly where we meet : a nondescript , tall glass office building off a Florida highway . Romano had also instructed me and GQ 's photographer not to ask for him at the reception desk , as his employees do n't know his real identity . Instead , Romano appears at the back door of the building wearing a baggy brown suit and navy-blue shirt with an oversized collar . He finishes a cigarette as he leads us to his offices . Born in Brooklyn to an Italian-American family , Romano grew up on Staten Island and took his cues from his father @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ who made his money loan-sharking , bookmaking and from casino and bank scams and insurance fraud . In the mid-Eighties , Romano got a job on Wall Street working for Lehman Brothers , when he was 18 . " And once I 'd learned true investment banking I also learned a million ways to cut corners and how to make an enormous amount of money doing that , " he tells me across a walnut conference table in his large , dimly lit office . " Stocks 101 says you buy something that you hope will go higher . We just tried to take the mystery out of knowing it would go higher , " he says . To do that you do n't mess with the big blue-chip companies such as AT&T , IBM , Amazon or Apple , Romano tells me . Instead , you find smaller companies that want to become publicly traded . Romano would finance them ahead of their floatation : " front them the cash -- say $5m -- by pooling investors ' money and take them public with legal paperwork @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that stock to their clients and then sell his stock . " It 's a classic pump and dump scheme , " he says . But that was n't enough ; he also felt the pull of the street . " When a movie like The Godfather comes out , that 's going to influence you , " he says . I 'm young and there 's no reason on earth why I do n't want to be like those guys -- the cars , the women , the money , the power . " By working with the Gambino family , Romano suddenly found he had a seemingly never-ending supply of bent brokers to play ball with . " We 've corrupted and tainted this entire Wall Street pool and we were n't the only family doing it , " he says . " But nobody was as successful as I was at it . " Romano estimates he made " north of three million bucks " for the family . " I was the golden goose , " he says . This is how it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ cent of what he earned to his capo ; he says his captain would kick up 20 per cent to his boss ( the underboss of the Gambino crime family ) and that he in turn would kick up 20 per cent to John Gotti . " That 's the standard formula , " Romano tells me . " But it 's got to be green . You 're not writing cheques to these people . " And this , Romano told me , is how the mafia still operates today . " If there are 300 soldiers on the street , each one of them will have 20 or 30 civilians that they 're doing business with or that they 've lent money to at a high rate of interest . And as they earn , they 're giving money to their respective capos , or skippers as we call them , and as the capos earn , they 're kicking money upstairs to the boss . It 's a mega , mega million-dollar enterprise and there 's a lot of money in being the boss . " @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ formula for kicking money up the chain of command . When he was on the streets and he put someone in a particular position -- running a nightclub , for example -- he may have asked for 50 per cent of the takings . If it was a friend who opened up a nightclub without his help , he may not ask for anything . Instead , he may put cigarette machines , poker machines and pool tables in there and make money that way . " If you 're around a good guy , he 'll be good to you . If you 're around a shitty guy , he 'll choke you to death , " Alite said . " It 's like the manager of a football team . They 'll protect their guys and tell their boss you only made $200,000 when you made $500,000 . " Romano was released from prison at the end of 2009 and is now working on a book about his exploits . " In a way , the mob may be more powerful than they were in the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a robust economy . The markets are at all-time highs . Wall Street is up . Stress capital is up . The mob does better when the economy 's good . Think Wall Street , construction , the unions . On the outside looking in , things are probably very , very good back home . " The number one reason for the mafia 's existence is to make money . Still today , part of their core street business is gambling and loan-sharking . And those loans are recouped at anywhere from one to six per cent a week . Worst case scenario : if you borrow $30,000 , you need to pay back $1,800 in interest alone per week or you 'll get your legs broken . In Italy if the mafia discovers you 've given them up , they 'll kill you , your wife and your kids ... Today 's mob in America is returning to those old ways Phil Scala says the idea that Sal Romano kicked up 20 per cent of his takings to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . The mob knew he could make big money from the con games that the brokers controlled . And Romano 's income was steady . But Scala says there are a number of streams that flow into the main river of organised crime . As a 29-year veteran of the FBI , before his retirement a few years back Scala was head of the squad investigating the Gambino family . He helped put away John Gotti Sr. Today he runs a private investigation firm . On the street there are the low-level associates selling counterfeit goods , cigarettes or committing robberies . Then there are the earners , the guys who were connected with the unions or involved in construction and who today are involved in anything that makes money . " They learn their lessons from prosecutions and they 'll be in areas where they know law enforcement are n't looking or where they do n't have sources , " Scala tells me . " Organised crime in America and Italy continually morphs into new areas . " Scala worked a case a few years back @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ history , the details of which , he says , offer an insight into the financial dealings of the modern-day mob . The scam involved reputed Gambino capo Salvatore Locascio and two soldiers , Richard Martino and Andrew Campos , people that Scala says Gotti had marked out as the future of the crime family . Locascio , Martino and Campos ran an adult phone line and internet porn business that swindled $650m from consumers they duped . In the first case , people would call what they believed was a freephone number and were charged without their knowledge . In the second , they were asked to provide their credit card information purportedly to verify their age , but were then billed between $25 and $75 anyway . With the phone sex scam , the amounts were small , showing up on the bill as something innocuous . " The average person would n't even notice when they looked , " Scala says . According to Scala , the men -- working for the Gambino family -- owned the business providing the pornographic videos , the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ processed the credit card payments . He says the scams made " intuitive use of vertical integration " , combining the various stages of production normally operated by separate businesses into one company . By doing so , " They were able to combine three major industries and make millions and millions of dollars for themselves and the family , " Scala says . Journalist Jerry Capeci said the swindle represented " the new wave of gangsterism " . Although Stevie Newell could n't ' get made ' into the Gambino crime family ( he 's of Irish stock , not Italian ) he says , ' There are more tough guys that ca n't get made than there are made guys . The saying goes , " We do the work , they take the credit . " ' Just after GQ interviewed him , Newell went to prison on gun charges And the mafia continues to do this in different industries today . Scala says people lose sight of it because they 're not killing people on the streets in the same numbers they have @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ businesses in the style of Al Capone . So they 've learned their lessons . Instead , they 're using this model of vertical integration -- whether it 's through an investment company , construction , groceries or an events company ( in which they 'd own the bakery , food concessions and the reception hall ) . They control everything so they do n't have to pay anything on top . And then they have a second set of books whereby they can give money , cash , checks and wire transfers to different accounts to basically legitimise their games . " Scala does n't believe the mob controls the unions in the same way it used to . Instead you 'll see capos buying up 17 houses in areas , such as Williamsburg , that are undergoing gentrification , using millions they 've earned from narcotics and they 'll subcontract the refurbishment work to guys they know in the cement business or plumbing or electrical and pay a lot less for their services . If the unions ask questions -- " Why are n't you using unionised @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Do you know who owns these houses ? Walk away . " The drug trade is a huge revenue source for the American mafia , but the levels of secrecy they adhere to are probably the highest of any of their businesses . " In America , the Sicilians will only tell a few people in the family what they 're doing , " Scala says , " and if the FBI finds a connection between the drug trade and La Cosa Nostra , those in the family involved will stop for six months or a year -- however long it takes . And then when they see the coast is clear they 'll reactivate it . It 's very sophisticated . " The money from drug transactions then needs to be washed . " Again , it 's vertical integration , " Scala says . " They create brand-new companies in new areas and funnel money through those or through small businesses they have connections with : restaurants , pizzerias , cash businesses . It 's easy to throw in $10,000 or $20,000 and wash it . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ trillion laundered through legitimate banks globally in 2009 , around $580 billion was related to organised crime and drug trafficking . Anthony Arillotta tells me that the mafia also sets up front companies , some of which lose money , specifically to wash the drug money . The mob was traditionally against drugs , he tells me . " I got told in my initiation if you deal in drugs you forfeit your life , so it was always very secretive among members that were involved . " Today , it 's too much of a money spinner for it to be considered an immoral source of revenue . Today , the American mafia , through its ties with the Sicilians and other Italian organised crime networks , such as the powerful ' Ndrangheta of Calabria , the Camorra of Naples and the Sacra Corona Unita of Puglia , is shipping cocaine to Europe and receiving shipments of heroin from those sources back to the US . Secrecy is key . Scala says that in Italy if the mafia discovers you 've given them up , " @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and your relatives . That 's why there are no informants in Italy . No cooperating witnesses . " Today 's mob in America is returning to those old ways . ' In this life there are three choices : you can rat , you can go to jail or you can die ' " Once upon a time , in a land far away , there was this thing called the mafia ... Once upon a time . Not now . " The mafia is history . That 's according to attorney Jennifer Louis-Jeune , who told the jury this at the opening of the racketeering trial of her client , alleged Bonanno crime boss Joseph Cammarano Jr , in February . ( Cammarano Jr and his co-accused , John " Porky " Zancocchio , were acquitted of all charges . ) Louis-Jeune 's contention that the mafia was dead was laughable . Not only is that most definitely not the case , law enforcement officials in New York today are anxious about other Italian organised crime @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ " ' Ndrangheta has a strong presence in Canada , " one law enforcement source told me . " And in New York we 've had two recent public prosecutions that showed they were trying to start a cell here . I think it 's fair to say we 're being vigilant . " The day I am due to leave New York , I get a phone call . A current captain in one of New York 's five crime families has agreed to meet me -- but there 's no interview , no questions and it 's going to be brief . The short t ? te- ? -t ? te takes place somewhere on the East Coast . I 'm told to keep the location secret . As I pull up outside the safe house , he appears wearing a woolly hat and puffer jacket . He 's middle-aged , smiling and has a firm handshake . He hugs both me and GQ 's photographer and invites us inside for a coffee : a shot of espresso mixed with a shot of sambuca . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ tables and chairs -- and Italian pop music is playing on the stereo . He makes a joke about " showing us the body in the basement " then tells me , " In this life there are three choices : you can rat , you can go to jail or you can die . That 's the only way you get out . There is no quitting . " A muscle-bound man wearing a vest appears and walks up to his skipper , agitated . " They did n't have the fucking bags , " he says . " I should have beaten ' em . " The captain ushers him out and then it 's time for us to leave too . " You 're welcome here anytime , " he says . " Anytime . " A former mob prosecutor told me the East Coast is the last bastion of Italian organised crime and it 's the same five families running the show . The Italian-American mafia are still here , same as they always were . But they 're wising up , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to be in America , all roads lead to New York . |

Everyone knows the tales . In the crucible of modernity that was 20th-century America , no one commanded more attention from writers , filmmakers and law makers than the Sicilian mafia . Sure , crimes change -- rackets , extortion and hit men fell from the headlines , replaced by hackers , dark web drug runners and data fraud -- but the goodfellas stuck around . With the death of Francesco ' Franky Boy ' Cali in March said to be the first killing of a Five Families boss since 1985 , GQ flew to New York to find out what they 've been doing in the shadows Anthony Arillotta swapped out his black Ford Expedition SUV for his mother 's Nissan Maxima -- less conspicuous , he thought -- then started out on the two-hour journey to New York City . It was 11 August , early in the morning , but the sun was shining and it was already warm . He 'd been instructed to meet at a restaurant called Nebraska Steakhouse near @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the heart of the Bronx . Arillotta , a small , good-looking man with thinning hair and piercing eyes , stepped out of the car into the sunshine wearing black trousers , a black dress shirt and smart black shoes . Although he did n't wear it every day , he 'd also put on his platinum Rolex -- the one with diamonds around the dial that was given to him as a gift by his boss . The restaurant was closed when Arillotta arrived , but the door was unlocked . Inside , he recognised the four men at the table , all of them captains , a senior rank in the club he was about to join . They offered him a coffee . He took a shot of espresso and the men waited for three more people to arrive . Then , it was time . ' I will never break this oath . If I do , it 'll be death on me . I will be destroyed ' Under instructions from @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ initiates began to remove their jewellery and place it on the table . They took their mobile phones from their jacket pockets and placed them alongside . Arillotta took off his watch and the gold chain with a cross that hung round his neck . Then they climbed into a black Cadillac Fleetwood parked outside . The journey was short , just a few city blocks . The Cadillac pulled up in front of an old Bronx apartment building and the men , some in suits , others in smart trousers and shirts , began to walk up a narrow set of concrete stairs to the third floor . The inside of the apartment looked more like a social club . Dimly lit , with old wooden tables and chairs , it reminded Arillotta of a Twenties gambling den . One of the captains , Stevie , told him to get undressed in the tiny bathroom down the hallway and put on a white bath robe . Then he was led into a back room where the other three captains were waiting . There was another man @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Arthur Nigro ( pronounced Ny-row ) who went by " Artie " . He was the acting boss of this club and he stood there wearing a grey suit and button-up dress shirt . " Do you know why you 're here ? " Nigro asked Arillotta . " No . I do n't know why I 'm here , " he said . He knew the responses expected of him . It was an age-old script . " We are part of a secret , honoured society . It 's exclusive and the reason you 're here today is because we 'd like you to be part of this brotherhood of ours . Is that something you would want to be part of ? " " Yes , " replied Arillotta . " If your wife was giving birth to your child and the boss called for you , would you leave her bedside and come ? " This resonated particularly strongly with Arillotta . His daughter would be born the next day . " Yes , " he said . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .38 revolver and a marble-handled knife with a six-inch blade . " You see this gun and knife , " Nigro asked him . " Would you use the knife that 's on this table to kill someone if your bosses asked you to do it ? " " Yes , " said Arillotta . " If your brother did something to harm a member of our family and we asked you to take this gun and kill him , would you do that ? " " Yes . " He asked Arillotta to point to his trigger finger and Nigro took the knife and made a small incision . A bead of blood appeared . Nigro took a small piece of cloth , wiped the blood away and placed the cloth in the palm of Arillotta 's hand . He then struck a match , lit the corner of the cotton and Arillotta tossed the burning linen from one hand to the other . " Non romper ? mai questo giuramento , " Nigro said then asked Arillotta to repeat in English : " @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , it 'll be death on me . I will be destroyed like this cloth in my hand . " Nigro kissed him on both cheeks then shook his hand . " Hello , friend , " he said . What looked like a scene from The Godfather or a snapshot from the annals of American crime history was in fact happening in present-day America . Arillotta had just been " made " , inducted into the Genovese crime family , the largest and most powerful of New York 's infamous Italian-American mafia dynasties . At around 9.20pm on 13 March 2019 , Francesco Cali , known as " Franky Boy " , was shot dead outside his home in Staten Island , New York . His killer apparently first crashed his blue pickup truck into Cali 's car before emptying his 9mm handgun into the 53-year-old 's body . Headlines across the world called it a gangland hit . Cali , who was the supposed head of the Gambino crime family , one of New York 's notorious five mafia clans , was the first @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ when a young John Gotti ordered the murder of then Gambino head , Paul Castellano , outside a Manhattan steak restaurant . Media speculation was rife that Cali 's was another ordered hit , demonstrating that the Italian-American mafia was still active . But Cali 's death , it turned out , did nothing of the sort . The New York Post called his killer a " Staten Island knucklehead with a personal beef over a woman " . The murder of the reported head of one of America 's biggest crime families was n't looking like a mob " hit " after all . Despite that , business has been booming for the American mafia . Anyone with any real knowledge of the mob knew that and Cali 's death did n't prove anything . Just six days before Cali 's murder , the death from old age of Carmine Persico , head of the Colombo crime family who was serving a 139-year prison sentence for racketeering , itself made headline news , but even then some media outlets spoke about Persico as if he was a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ had been a part of in the past tense . Before Persico 's death in prison -- and Cali 's death on the streets -- I 'd wanted to find out just how big the American mafia was today . I knew from a cursory reading of news reports , particularly those coming out of New York , that there had been numerous arrests and trials over the years , some recent . But those reports did n't seem to have reverberated much beyond the city , giving the impression to anyone who did n't read the New York Post or New York Daily News that the mafia was dead . I wanted to know how it operated . Did it still control the same businesses it always had ? Had it been succeeded by the Russian mob as the real power brokers of organised crime in New York ? Howard Abadinksy , a criminal justice professor at St John 's University in New York , told me that the mafia today was having a recruitment problem . The Sopranos may have romanticised organised crime , he @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ life was another thing altogether . Former FBI agent Lindley " Lin " DeVecchio had told me that while organised crime was n't going away , he did n't think the mafia had the same clout as they once did . " But , " he said , " it 'd be naive to think they were n't still in business . " In order to qualify for membership of the Genovese crime organisation , the largest and most powerful of New York 's five families , Anthony Arillotta and a friend pumped nine bullets into the body of the boss of a local cement union , under orders from the top . Later , he helped orchestrate the murder of his one-time boss , ' Big Al ' Bruno . After that , he was promoted to captain , a powerful rank in the crime family I wanted to see how close I could get to the mafia , to find out how it made its money in 21st-century America . It was a journey that would take me to New York , Massachusetts and Florida @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ cold blood and who would n't have hesitated to kill their own father to honour a century-old fraternity . Cali 's death aside , it turned out there had been numerous mob murders in recent years . In 2009 , an apparent member of the Bonanno crime family , Anthony Seccafico , was gunned down on Staten Island in what was believed to be a mafia hit . In November 2013 , gang leader Michael Meldish was found with a bullet in his head inside a parked car on a Bronx street , a hit supposedly directed by the Lucchese family -- as was a plot to kill a Bonanno associate the year before . In June 2016 , a Brooklyn pizzeria owner called Louis Barbati was shot to death in his back yard in what was probably a mob hit . Just last October , a reputed associate of the Bonanno crime family was killed while waiting at a drive-through window of a Bronx McDonald 's in his SUV . Police described it as a " mafia-style assassination " , but that assassin is still at @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ problem for law enforcement . Billed as the largest coordinated arrest in FBI history , almost 130 members of New York and New England mafia families were arrested in 2011 in what became known as " Mafia Takedown Day " . To illustrate just how active the mob are today , you need only look at recent court filings . During the 2016 trial of Carmine Persico 's son , Michael , described as an " associate " of the Colombo crime family , the government called their star witness , " Big Anthony " Russo , a former soldier in the family turned informant . Street gangs such as MS-13 post their crimes on Facebook . That 's not the mafia 's style The American mafia -- or La Cosa Nostra -- formed in the late 19th century in the Italian immigrant ghettos of New York . By the Twenties they 'd moved into the illegal alcohol trade , taking advantage of Prohibition . When that ended , mafia groups expanded into the construction industry , sanitation and drugs . A gangster named Charles " Lucky @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a structure that would endure to this day . He established The Commission , consisting of the bosses of each of the five families , to solve disputes , vote on issues and apportion business . By the late Eighties , the era of machine guns and fedoras had been replaced by the designer suits , jewellery and pearly white smile of John Gotti . Known as the " Dapper Don " , Gotti became the brash head of the Gambino family after ordering the hit on Paul Castellano . He was eventually imprisoned in 1992 and died of throat cancer ten years later . Since then , the mafia seemed to have quietened down -- or at least the media coverage had . Today , wherever in the US the mafia happens to be operating , all roads , ultimately , lead to New York . One morning this spring I met with two lawyers from the US Attorney 's Office for the Eastern District of New York at a caf ? in Brooklyn . The city had just endured a brief winter storm and snow was piled @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ steel railway arches . Allon Lifshitz is the perfectly coiffed deputy chief of the office 's criminal division . His colleague Kristin Mace is the gutsy chief of the Organized Crime And Gangs Section , tasked with prosecuting the mob . Forget the Russian mafia , the Albanians , the Japanese Yakuza or Chinese Triads : the Italian-American mafia still rules the roost in New York . " It 's a significant presence and no less than in the past , " Mace told me . " I do n't think there 's any other organised crime group that has surpassed it in influence in New York City . " All five families exist and are thriving . Every time one boss is convicted , another steps in , they said . So what 's changed ? Allon Lifshitz is deputy chief of the criminal division of the US Attorney 's Office for the Eastern District of New York . Together with his colleague Kristin Mace , the current chief of the Organized Crime And Gangs Section , Lifshitz is responsible for prosecuting the mob . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ he told GQ , ' no less than in the past ' Lifshitz said their drug operations are probably more formalised today . " There 's always been a rule against selling drugs in the mob , but more of our big cases involving the big moneymakers involve drugs , including importing drugs , such as heroin and cocaine , from overseas or selling opioids domestically . " What you think of as their traditional bread and butter -- loan-sharking and extortion -- are , " he said , " going on every day in New York City . " What has changed is the way those in the upper echelons of the mob comport themselves in public . Gone is the era of the camera-loving Gotti , who courted headlines ( his name appeared in the gossip columns almost as often as in the news sections , one journalist wrote ) and wore bespoke suits costing thousands of dollars , often finished off with a cashmere scarf and pocket handkerchief . Down too is the number of brazen executions in broad daylight . Today 's mob @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ silence ( omert ? ) also makes it harder to investigate and prosecute mob activity than other types of gang crime . Street gangs such as MS-13 in Los Angeles might post evidence of their crimes ( guns , drugs or money ) on Facebook . That 's not the American mafia 's style . Lifshitz and Mace told me one only needed to look at the court records of various trials involving mob defectors detailing their inductions into the mafia to see that this was no movie -- inductions such as that of Anthony Arillotta . So how close could I get to the mob for this story , I wondered . Both Lifshitz and Mace looked incredulous . Nobody in the mafia would talk to me , they insisted . ' It 's a mega , mega million-dollar enterprise . There 's a lot of money in being the boss ' John Alite knew instinctively that Frank Cali was n't the subject of a mob hit . He knew it because he 'd carried out enough of them @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the right-hand man of John Gotti 's son , John Gotti Jr , who temporarily took over control of the family when his father first went to prison . Alite knew that if you were going to carry out a hit you 'd have a minimum of two cars ; preferably three at the scene -- one on each corner so your target ca n't escape and the hit man 's vehicle . And if you 're hitting a boss , you bring two gunmen in case one of the weapons jams . When he was on the streets , Alite , who could n't get made in the mafia because he was n't of Italian heritage ( his parents were Albanian ) , was known as a tough guy ; he estimates he shot 30 to 40 people , baseball batted 100 more and murdered six people -- at least , those are the ones he confessed to . We meet at the Club A Steakhouse , a former mob haunt in Manhattan . It 's closed when we arrive , but Alite is friends with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in this spot for four decades . Alite saunters in wearing Dolce & Gabbana sunglasses , snakeskin black and white Louis Vuitton shoes , a Hugo Boss jacket and a mink overcoat . We sit in a booth upstairs so we can chat in private . He grew up in poverty in Queens and his baptism into the world of organised crime came when , as a child working at a local delicatessen , he was asked to run errands for some made members of the Lucchese family who ran a bookmaking business from the back of a nearby store . A kingpin of mid-century mafiosi , Albert Anastasia was shot dead in New York on 25 October 1957 Eventually , Alite met Gotti Sr. At first he looked up to him , wanted to be like him . He found it easy to make good money on the street and as his status rose in the family he also became known for the levels of violence he was willing to inflict on anyone that crossed him or his family . In 2003 , he went @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to be indicted . He was eventually arrested in Brazil on murder and racketeering charges under an Interpol warrant and spent two years in what he says was a Brazilian dungeon , " where you shit on the floor and it 's raining inside " , before being extradited to the US in 2006 . When he was in Brazil , Alite says he heard rumours that Gotti Jr was an informant and that several of his old cohort had flipped . " You ca n't beat this case , " his attorney told him . " You 've got dozens of wise guys giving you up , saying you 're a killer . " " That 's the reason I testified , " Alite tells me . He made a deal with prosecutors : he 'd plead guilty to various crimes , including murder and robbery , and testify against members of the Gambino family , including Gotti Jr . In return , he hoped for a lenient sentence . One of those members , Charles Carneglia , was sentenced to life ; Gotti Jr 's case @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ got a ten-year sentence . When we met he 'd been off parole for a year . Family ' godfather ' Carlo Gambino died of heart failure at home . His funeral was attended by top mafia lieutenants , 18 October 1976 It 's no secret that Alite is not a fan of the Gottis . He thinks Gotti Sr 's shameless preening and brazen knack for self-publicity damaged the American mafia 's brand ( he co-wrote a book , Gotti 's Rules , about this and his relationship with Gotti Jr ) . What 's happened to the mob since Gotti Sr 's death in prison in 2002 , though , is a return to its roots , Alite says . " The mob went back to the Sicilian ways . It 's gone back underground . " Alite says the mob is being restructured . " If you want structure you ca n't allow certain things to go on . You do n't kill prosecutors , you do n't kill policeman , you do n't kill journalists . You do n't kill women . All @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to keep the structure and keep the fear . It 's like a building . The concrete crumbles and it falls . Are they trying to build it from the bottom up again ? Yeah . " They 're embedded in construction , the sea ports , they 're still on Wall Street , they 're in the food industry . And in that respect nothing 's changed , he tells me . But there are fewer murders and that 's achieved two things : less heat from law enforcement , but also less fear of retribution if they 're crossed . That could change though , Alite says , if Frank Cali 's killer is convicted and sent to prison : he thinks it 's only a matter of time before the shooter is killed for what he did . " If he 's put in general population you 'll see the sleeping giant that is the mob wake up . You 'll see that the mob still exists in the United States . " Charles Carneglia threw a man 's finger into his boss ' @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ : The associate John Alite introduces me to Stevie Newell -- someone who could give me an example , he says , of just how active the mob still is . When we meet , Newell is a few weeks away from going to prison for illegally possessing weapons because he thought someone connected with the mafia was going to kill him . We chat over lunch at the Lindenwood Diner in Ozone Park , Brooklyn , a joint that has cemented its own place in New York mob folklore . It was here , according to a federal court filing , that reputed mob hit man Charles Carneglia ( who Alite testified against ) threw a man 's finger into his boss ' soup as proof he had killed someone on John Gotti Sr 's orders . I order the soup . Newell opts for a cheeseburger . Newell looks tough , like an enforcer . He 's solidly built , has a shaved head , sports a cross tattoo on the middle finger of his right hand and a small scar on his nose . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Carmine Galante , the then boss of the Bonanno family , was assassinated in Brooklyn aged 69 , 12 July 1979 Newell was born a few miles west of here in Bushwick and grew up on the streets of Queens . His father played bocce ball with members of the Bonanno family . In his teens , he started knocking around with a made man in the Genovese family who he met through his girlfriend . Newell started selling drugs , making $300 a night and was able to buy his parents new clothes for the first time . Although he could never get made -- Newell has Irish blood -- he tells me not to believe the hype . " There are more tough guys that ca n't get made than there are made guys . The saying goes : we do the work ; they take the credit . " Eventually , Newell worked under Gotti Sr 's son-in-law , Carmine Agnello , and it was n't long before the heat was on him . Newell was charged with the 1991 murder of Bruce Gotterup @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ sell drugs in Queens . Gotterup was shot five times in the back of the head . The feds offered Newell a deal , but he denied the crime and refused to wear a wire . Instead , he spent two years in jail awaiting trial , at which he was eventually found not guilty . In 2009 , Newell agreed to testify for the defence at Gotti 's trial for racketeering and murder . The feds alleged that Gotti approved Gotterup 's murder , but Newell told the court he 'd seen no evidence for that . Newell says that after Gotti 's case resulted in a mistrial , Gotti wrote a book accusing him of being a law enforcement cooperator -- " And yet I was the one on the stand trying to help him . " John Gotti Sr , the head of the Gambino family , died of cancer on 10 June 2002 . His son , John Gotti Jr , led the family in the Nineties while his father spent time in prison He tells me he 's been waiting @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ two years . ( Gotti declined to talk to me for this story . ) In the meantime , this happened : " After Junior was acquitted I had about three or four run-ins with local guys in the neighbourhood , " Newell says , " not pleasant , of course , and after a while you start feeling like you might get one of these young guys trying to make a name for themselves . " One day , a car pulled up beside Newell and a guy told him , " I should fucking kill you . " Newell says , " I started thinking that sooner or later someone 's going to try to pop a shot off at me . " So he armed himself . " On the streets you can jump in your car or run into a crowded area and nothing 's going to happen . At night you 're alone , so I purchased two firearms , a .40 calibre automatic handgun , 15 shots in each clip , and a .38 special revolver . " But Newell is a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in March 2018 , he got a knock at the door . " It was a couple of plain-clothes detectives and they had a warrant . Someone had apparently made a complaint that Newell had firearms . I ask if he knew who it was . " I have an idea , " he says . A few weeks after we talk , Newell knows he 's heading for a cell in Rikers Island to serve four months . He 's going to prison because he illegally kept guns for fear of an assassination attempt by the mob in America today . He knows the mafia code of retribution is alive and well . Also , he knows what happened to Whitey Bulger . ' I felt like I would do anything for these people . I would die for them ' It was 8.20am on a Tuesday in October 2018 that they found him , an 89-year-old man lying on the floor of a West Virginia prison cell . The official press release from the Federal Bureau Of Prisons @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ leaks to newspapers revealed a much more gruesome picture . When corrections officers reached him , the man , James Bulger -- better known as " Whitey " -- was almost unrecognisable . His eyes were nearly gouged out and he 'd been bludgeoned repeatedly with a makeshift club , fashioned by placing a lock inside a sock . After viewing surveillance video , officials discovered that two inmates had entered Bulger 's cell earlier that morning , one of them apparently a convicted hit man . Bulger 's murder would have come as little surprise to anyone in the mob world or on its fringes . Bulger was the Irish mob boss of Boston 's notorious Winter Hill Gang . At his trial in 2013 , a jury convicted him of extortion and racketeering and found him culpable in eleven murders between 1973 and 1985 . But Bulger was also a rat , an informer who turned in rivals in return for protection from corrupt law enforcement agents , inexcusable in the mafia world . What nobody could understand was why authorities had decided to transfer @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and put him with other inmates in general population . He did n't last long . And what Bulger 's death meant ( rather than Cali 's ) was that the mafia code was still alive and well today . It did n't matter how long it took ; justice would always come , even if it came late . What was really telling , though , was who had killed Bulger . All signs pointed to Fotios " Freddy " Geas , a fiftysomething mobster from Springfield , Massachusetts who was an associate of the Genovese crime family . If Bulger 's death had been ordered , those orders came from New York . Geas , who according to reports had a fearsome reputation as a ruthless killer and enforcer , was serving multiple life sentences for murder . Although he was offered a chance to reduce his sentence by turning informant , he told prosecutors he 'd rather spend the rest of his life in prison ; his attorney said his client loathed " rats " . Anthony Arillotta knew as soon as Bulger was @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Geas that Geas was probably responsible . If anyone knows what Geas is capable of it 's Arillotta . Geas and his brother Ty used to work as enforcers for Arillotta when he was a capo in the Genovese family . ' He was n't dead , so I started hitting him with the shovel . I did n't want to see the guy buried alive ' The journey by car to Springfield from Queens takes a little more than two hours . You take the coast road up through Connecticut before joining I-91 , which shoots north through Hartford up into Massachusetts . This was all Arillotta 's turf back then and this is the same journey he made countless times to meet his bosses in New York and the same journey he made in reverse in 2003 when he came to the Bronx to take part in the ceremony that formally inducted him into the mafia . Traditionally , in order to become a made member of the mob , you had to have killed someone . Today , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Arillotta says . I meet Arillotta at a small caf ? on the edge of town and he explains what he had to do in order to join . At the time , Artie Nigro was the acting boss of the Genovese family and he asked Arillotta to shoot someone in New York . That man 's name was Frank Dadabo , a local cement union boss who had n't consulted Nigro when he dished out contracts . " It was over a union issue , " Arillotta says . " He disrespected Artie somehow and Artie just wanted to give him a beating . " John Gotti Sr ordered the death of Paul Castellano , then the Gambino boss , before taking control of the family himself , 16 December 1985 Arillotta asked the Geas brothers to join him and one afternoon in May 2003 the three men drove the two hours I 'd just driven , but with guns and silencers in their car and stolen licence plates from New Haven . They parked in front of Dadabo 's apartment on a busy Bronx street @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 65-year-old Dadabo climbed into his car , Arillotta and Ty Geas ran to the vehicle and emptied nine bullets through the window . " Dadabo is sitting in his car , his head is back and his mouth wide open , " Arillotta says . " Freddy , who was our getaway driver , tells me , ' He 's dead , ' so we go back to Springfield , go about our business . The government thought the Albanians did it . They never had a clue it was us . " But Dadabo did not die -- and he did not report the shooting to police either . Arillotta would later testify that Nigro had advised him afterwards to " get better at head shots " . Soon after , Arillotta was inducted into the Genovese family . " The moment I did that I felt like I would do anything for these people , " Arillotta tells me . " There 's nothing I would n't do . I would die for them . " One well-connected mob source told me Arillotta could @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ caught . That day came in 2010 , when he was arrested for orchestrating the murder of his one-time boss Adolfo " Big Al " Bruno , who had preceded Arillotta as captain of the Genovese family in Springfield and who 'd given him the diamond-studded Rolex he 'd worn the day he was made . Bruno was 57 when he was shot in the chin , neck , elbow , cheek and groin one Sunday night in November 2003 , as he walked into the parking lot of Our Lady Of Mount Carmel Society , a social club in Springfield . He was still clutching his cigar when he died . Arillotta had paid an associate , Frankie Roche , $10,000 to carry out the assassination . When Salvatore Romano was an associate of the Gambino crime family he probably made more cash than any other mobster in America . He was the Gambinos ' man on Wall Street . He estimates he made ' north of three million bucks ' for the family , which at the time was run by the ' Dapper Don @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ pleaded guilty to the murder , the attempted murder of Dadabo and to various other offences , including drug dealing and extortion . In addition , he told authorities he 'd murdered his brother-in-law , Gary Westerman , also a mob associate , and helped bury his body . It was because of Arillotta 's testimony that Nigro ( who he said had sanctioned the hit on Bruno ) and the Geas brothers all got life in prison . Arillotta would serve just eight years . When he got out , Arillotta opted out of witness protection and moved back to Springfield . Some thought the move brazen ; the FBI reckons he still has a target on his head today . Arillotta jumps in my car and we drive around his old haunts in Springfield . He explains why he decided to cooperate with prosecutors . " I 'm indicted for Bruno 's death , heartbroken for my kids cos I 'm facing life in prison and my lawyer comes to see me , says all these people are cooperating against me , and I said @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to cooperate I 'm never going to get out of this place . ' " He says he tried to get the Geas brothers to cooperate too , but without success . " They did n't jump on board . By now it 's too late . " We arrive at a suburb called Agawam and Arillotta points me towards a small , steep entrance to a now-vacant plot of land . We drive up , park the car and walk 50 feet to the corner of the plot , now owned by the local electricity board . " I murdered Gary Westerman here , " he says , pointing to the frozen ground . " There used to be a house here . " After his confession , Arillotta accompanied investigators here and showed them the spot where he and the Geas brothers buried Westerman 's body . Westerman had married Arillotta 's sister , 30 years his junior . He had a string of robbery and drug convictions , as well as ties to the mob , and even now Arillotta has no @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ stay away , " he says . " He was giving her drugs and we 'd had enough of this guy , so I just said bring him here and I was waiting in the garage . He came in and that 's when Ty shot him seven times . But he was n't dead , so I started hitting him with the shovel . Then we dragged him over there by that track . There were more trees here back then . " As sick as it sounds , because we 're killing him , I still do n't want to see the guy buried alive , so I told Freddy to shoot him in the head . " Arillotta knows exactly what Freddy Geas is capable of . He also knows that in the mafia retribution always comes -- eventually . ' You front companies the cash , take them public , then bribe the brokers to sell the stock to their clients ' When Sal Romano was an associate of the Gambino family , he possibly made @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the Gambinos ' man on Wall Street when Gotti Sr was boss . In 2003 , he was indicted in a $100 million stock fraud and decided to turn state 's evidence in exchange for a reduced prison sentence and entry into the witness protection programme . If there 's one person who can tell me how La Cosa Nostra lines its pockets , it 's Romano . He still lives and works under an assumed name today and asks that I not identify exactly where we meet : a nondescript , tall glass office building off a Florida highway . Romano had also instructed me and GQ 's photographer not to ask for him at the reception desk , as his employees do n't know his real identity . Instead , Romano appears at the back door of the building wearing a baggy brown suit and navy-blue shirt with an oversized collar . He finishes a cigarette as he leads us to his offices . Born in Brooklyn to an Italian-American family , Romano grew up on Staten Island and took his cues from his father @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ who made his money loan-sharking , bookmaking and from casino and bank scams and insurance fraud . In the mid-Eighties , Romano got a job on Wall Street working for Lehman Brothers , when he was 18 . " And once I 'd learned true investment banking I also learned a million ways to cut corners and how to make an enormous amount of money doing that , " he tells me across a walnut conference table in his large , dimly lit office . " Stocks 101 says you buy something that you hope will go higher . We just tried to take the mystery out of knowing it would go higher , " he says . To do that you do n't mess with the big blue-chip companies such as AT&T , IBM , Amazon or Apple , Romano tells me . Instead , you find smaller companies that want to become publicly traded . Romano would finance them ahead of their floatation : " front them the cash -- say $5m -- by pooling investors ' money and take them public with legal paperwork @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that stock to their clients and then sell his stock . " It 's a classic pump and dump scheme , " he says . But that was n't enough ; he also felt the pull of the street . " When a movie like The Godfather comes out , that 's going to influence you , " he says . I 'm young and there 's no reason on earth why I do n't want to be like those guys -- the cars , the women , the money , the power . " By working with the Gambino family , Romano suddenly found he had a seemingly never-ending supply of bent brokers to play ball with . " We 've corrupted and tainted this entire Wall Street pool and we were n't the only family doing it , " he says . " But nobody was as successful as I was at it . " Romano estimates he made " north of three million bucks " for the family . " I was the golden goose , " he says . This is how it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ cent of what he earned to his capo ; he says his captain would kick up 20 per cent to his boss ( the underboss of the Gambino crime family ) and that he in turn would kick up 20 per cent to John Gotti . " That 's the standard formula , " Romano tells me . " But it 's got to be green . You 're not writing cheques to these people . " And this , Romano told me , is how the mafia still operates today . " If there are 300 soldiers on the street , each one of them will have 20 or 30 civilians that they 're doing business with or that they 've lent money to at a high rate of interest . And as they earn , they 're giving money to their respective capos , or skippers as we call them , and as the capos earn , they 're kicking money upstairs to the boss . It 's a mega , mega million-dollar enterprise and there 's a lot of money in being the boss . " @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ formula for kicking money up the chain of command . When he was on the streets and he put someone in a particular position -- running a nightclub , for example -- he may have asked for 50 per cent of the takings . If it was a friend who opened up a nightclub without his help , he may not ask for anything . Instead , he may put cigarette machines , poker machines and pool tables in there and make money that way . " If you 're around a good guy , he 'll be good to you . If you 're around a shitty guy , he 'll choke you to death , " Alite said . " It 's like the manager of a football team . They 'll protect their guys and tell their boss you only made $200,000 when you made $500,000 . " Romano was released from prison at the end of 2009 and is now working on a book about his exploits . " In a way , the mob may be more powerful than they were in the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a robust economy . The markets are at all-time highs . Wall Street is up . Stress capital is up . The mob does better when the economy 's good . Think Wall Street , construction , the unions . On the outside looking in , things are probably very , very good back home . " The number one reason for the mafia 's existence is to make money . Still today , part of their core street business is gambling and loan-sharking . And those loans are recouped at anywhere from one to six per cent a week . Worst case scenario : if you borrow $30,000 , you need to pay back $1,800 in interest alone per week or you 'll get your legs broken . In Italy if the mafia discovers you 've given them up , they 'll kill you , your wife and your kids ... Today 's mob in America is returning to those old ways Phil Scala says the idea that Sal Romano kicked up 20 per cent of his takings to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . The mob knew he could make big money from the con games that the brokers controlled . And Romano 's income was steady . But Scala says there are a number of streams that flow into the main river of organised crime . As a 29-year veteran of the FBI , before his retirement a few years back Scala was head of the squad investigating the Gambino family . He helped put away John Gotti Sr. Today he runs a private investigation firm . On the street there are the low-level associates selling counterfeit goods , cigarettes or committing robberies . Then there are the earners , the guys who were connected with the unions or involved in construction and who today are involved in anything that makes money . " They learn their lessons from prosecutions and they 'll be in areas where they know law enforcement are n't looking or where they do n't have sources , " Scala tells me . " Organised crime in America and Italy continually morphs into new areas . " Scala worked a case a few years back @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ history , the details of which , he says , offer an insight into the financial dealings of the modern-day mob . The scam involved reputed Gambino capo Salvatore Locascio and two soldiers , Richard Martino and Andrew Campos , people that Scala says Gotti had marked out as the future of the crime family . Locascio , Martino and Campos ran an adult phone line and internet porn business that swindled $650m from consumers they duped . In the first case , people would call what they believed was a freephone number and were charged without their knowledge . In the second , they were asked to provide their credit card information purportedly to verify their age , but were then billed between $25 and $75 anyway . With the phone sex scam , the amounts were small , showing up on the bill as something innocuous . " The average person would n't even notice when they looked , " Scala says . According to Scala , the men -- working for the Gambino family -- owned the business providing the pornographic videos , the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ processed the credit card payments . He says the scams made " intuitive use of vertical integration " , combining the various stages of production normally operated by separate businesses into one company . By doing so , " They were able to combine three major industries and make millions and millions of dollars for themselves and the family , " Scala says . Journalist Jerry Capeci said the swindle represented " the new wave of gangsterism " . Although Stevie Newell could n't ' get made ' into the Gambino crime family ( he 's of Irish stock , not Italian ) he says , ' There are more tough guys that ca n't get made than there are made guys . The saying goes , " We do the work , they take the credit . " ' Just after GQ interviewed him , Newell went to prison on gun charges And the mafia continues to do this in different industries today . Scala says people lose sight of it because they 're not killing people on the streets in the same numbers they have @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ businesses in the style of Al Capone . So they 've learned their lessons . Instead , they 're using this model of vertical integration -- whether it 's through an investment company , construction , groceries or an events company ( in which they 'd own the bakery , food concessions and the reception hall ) . They control everything so they do n't have to pay anything on top . And then they have a second set of books whereby they can give money , cash , checks and wire transfers to different accounts to basically legitimise their games . " Scala does n't believe the mob controls the unions in the same way it used to . Instead you 'll see capos buying up 17 houses in areas , such as Williamsburg , that are undergoing gentrification , using millions they 've earned from narcotics and they 'll subcontract the refurbishment work to guys they know in the cement business or plumbing or electrical and pay a lot less for their services . If the unions ask questions -- " Why are n't you using unionised @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Do you know who owns these houses ? Walk away . " The drug trade is a huge revenue source for the American mafia , but the levels of secrecy they adhere to are probably the highest of any of their businesses . " In America , the Sicilians will only tell a few people in the family what they 're doing , " Scala says , " and if the FBI finds a connection between the drug trade and La Cosa Nostra , those in the family involved will stop for six months or a year -- however long it takes . And then when they see the coast is clear they 'll reactivate it . It 's very sophisticated . " The money from drug transactions then needs to be washed . " Again , it 's vertical integration , " Scala says . " They create brand-new companies in new areas and funnel money through those or through small businesses they have connections with : restaurants , pizzerias , cash businesses . It 's easy to throw in $10,000 or $20,000 and wash it . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ trillion laundered through legitimate banks globally in 2009 , around $580 billion was related to organised crime and drug trafficking . Anthony Arillotta tells me that the mafia also sets up front companies , some of which lose money , specifically to wash the drug money . The mob was traditionally against drugs , he tells me . " I got told in my initiation if you deal in drugs you forfeit your life , so it was always very secretive among members that were involved . " Today , it 's too much of a money spinner for it to be considered an immoral source of revenue . Today , the American mafia , through its ties with the Sicilians and other Italian organised crime networks , such as the powerful ' Ndrangheta of Calabria , the Camorra of Naples and the Sacra Corona Unita of Puglia , is shipping cocaine to Europe and receiving shipments of heroin from those sources back to the US . Secrecy is key . Scala says that in Italy if the mafia discovers you 've given them up , " @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and your relatives . That 's why there are no informants in Italy . No cooperating witnesses . " Today 's mob in America is returning to those old ways . ' In this life there are three choices : you can rat , you can go to jail or you can die ' " Once upon a time , in a land far away , there was this thing called the mafia ... Once upon a time . Not now . " The mafia is history . That 's according to attorney Jennifer Louis-Jeune , who told the jury this at the opening of the racketeering trial of her client , alleged Bonanno crime boss Joseph Cammarano Jr , in February . ( Cammarano Jr and his co-accused , John " Porky " Zancocchio , were acquitted of all charges . ) Louis-Jeune 's contention that the mafia was dead was laughable . Not only is that most definitely not the case , law enforcement officials in New York today are anxious about other Italian organised crime @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ " ' Ndrangheta has a strong presence in Canada , " one law enforcement source told me . " And in New York we 've had two recent public prosecutions that showed they were trying to start a cell here . I think it 's fair to say we 're being vigilant . " The day I am due to leave New York , I get a phone call . A current captain in one of New York 's five crime families has agreed to meet me -- but there 's no interview , no questions and it 's going to be brief . The short t ? te- ? -t ? te takes place somewhere on the East Coast . I 'm told to keep the location secret . As I pull up outside the safe house , he appears wearing a woolly hat and puffer jacket . He 's middle-aged , smiling and has a firm handshake . He hugs both me and GQ 's photographer and invites us inside for a coffee : a shot of espresso mixed with a shot of sambuca . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ tables and chairs -- and Italian pop music is playing on the stereo . He makes a joke about " showing us the body in the basement " then tells me , " In this life there are three choices : you can rat , you can go to jail or you can die . That 's the only way you get out . There is no quitting . " A muscle-bound man wearing a vest appears and walks up to his skipper , agitated . " They did n't have the fucking bags , " he says . " I should have beaten ' em . " The captain ushers him out and then it 's time for us to leave too . " You 're welcome here anytime , " he says . " Anytime . " A former mob prosecutor told me the East Coast is the last bastion of Italian organised crime and it 's the same five families running the show . The Italian-American mafia are still here , same as they always were . But they 're wising up , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to be in America , all roads lead to New York . |

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. It involves the verb 'get' with an NP object 'so much' and the phrase 'out of owning a PS4' does not induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. The NP object 'so much' does not function as a causee, and the construction does not align with the properties of the transitive out of -ing construction.

Ludwig van Beethoven is n't just my favourite composer : he 's my household god . There 's a bust of him on my mantelpiece . It took ages to find something that did him justice . This one was made in Italy about 100 years ago ; it 's painted to look like black marble , his features are modelled on his life mask and it gets his hair right . ( This mattered to Beethoven : when August von Kloeber painted him in 1818 , the composer ' expressed delight at the treatment of his hair ' . ) Above my stereo system there 's a Victorian copy of another portrait of Beethoven ; it 's striking but undistinguished . As for the statuette in my bathroom , I should really throw it out , but consigning an image of Beethoven to a black rubbish sack seems like sacrilege -- especially in the year that is the 250th anniversary of his birth , which the German government has ponderously declared to be ' a matter of national importance ' . I 've been a Beethoven-worshipper since I was eight years old , when @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ time we owned only one LP , given to my mother by an old flame who 'd been an officer in the German army . She was also a second world war army veteran , though on our side , of course . She was nearly killed by a long-range German rocket in 1944 , but she did n't hold it against ' Uncle Heinrich ' , as we knew him , who in any case had impeccable musical judgment . The record was Beethoven 's last piano sonata , Opus 111 in C minor , played by Wilhelm Backhaus . His style was magisterial , a touch humourless perhaps , but in the finale 's syncopated third variation he really lets rip . ' This is like jazz ! ' I told my father , illustrating the point by jiving round the room . Years later I discovered that it 's often called ' the boogie-woogie variation ' . And I once heard the manager of a record shop suggest that in these few bars , written in 1822 , Beethoven literally invented jazz . ' The slaves @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ someone play the sonata in the big house , ' he explained . That 's an implausible theory , to put it politely , but the variation really does sound like boogie-woogie . Even though I 've been listening to the sonata since I was a schoolboy , I still find it astonishing . That 's Beethoven for you . You know that a particular shaft of inspiration is about to strike , but when it arrives you 're still not quite prepared for it . It happens again and again . To quote an obvious example , there will always be something unnerving about the moment in the Ninth Symphony when a man 's voice disrupts the proceedings . ' O Freunde , nicht diese T ? ne ! ' , sings the bass soloist : ' O friends , not these sounds ! Let us instead strike up more pleasing and joyful ones . ' But he rarely sounds joyful . It 's not just that Beethoven tugs viciously at his vocal cords , making him display almost the entire range of his voice in a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ sound at public meetings ? The poor guy has been sitting there for nearly an hour , knowing that it 's his job to make musical history by telling the orchestra to shut up . Here Beethoven is using shock tactics . Music critics , unimpressed by the hallowed status of the ' Ode to Joy ' , still bicker like military historians over whether the composer miscalculated . I do n't think he did , but it 's an extreme example of the risk-taking that distinguishes Beethoven from every other composer , including the only two that posterity regards as his equals , Bach and Mozart . ( For what it 's worth , I think the latter matched his level of inspiration but not quite his achievement , though I would n't be saying that if Beethoven , like Mozart , had died at 35 . ) Those risks are the essence of Beethoven ; it 's barely an exaggeration to say that he takes at least one on every page he writes . To put it another way , he 's always trying to achieve something @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ quality : the ear-splitting dissonances in the first movement of the Eroica symphony ; the invasion of the ' Agnus Dei ' of the Missa Solemnis by the drums of war and the singers ' neurotic response ; or , less noisily , the simple piano chord that opens the Fourth Piano Concerto , which in that context is almost as obtrusive as the cry of ' O Freunde ... ' . Other innovations catch the ear fleetingly or take longer to sink in . At first , we may grasp them only subliminally because Beethoven 's most profound innovations are embedded in the structure of a movement . They create shapes , patterns of thinking and atmospheres that no one else could have created . They can no more be uninvented than the atom bomb . Can we say this of any other composer ? Richard Wagner , perhaps , but his musical language is nowhere near as fluent as Beethoven 's -- and in any case , Wagner was heavily in debt to him . Wagner could n't have begun Das Rheingold with a primeval groan @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ create something out of nothing . And it 's hard to imagine Wagner scribbling on one of his scores ' Utmost simplicity , please , please , please ' , as Beethoven did on the ' Agnus Dei ' of the Mass in C major . That was Beethoven 's message to himself : to revolutionise music as economically as possible . And he succeeds , even when the page is black with notes that make terrifying technical demands . Although some of his later music may sound wild , verging on the atonal , it is not confused . The strangeness does not reflect the chaotic despair of Beethoven 's drink-sodden personal life ( he may unintentionally have drunk himself to death ) . On the contrary , Beethoven is making musical recompense for his behaviour . Some aspects of composing , such as counterpoint , did n't come naturally to him . His two great fugues , the finale of the Hammerklavier sonata and the Grosse Fuge for string quartet , reach unprecedented levels of experimental complexity which still scare off some 21st-century listeners . But @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ fevers and hangovers . People in Vienna sometimes mistook him for a tramp ; what they were actually witnessing was the ultimate musical perfectionist , albeit after a few too many beers . The innumerable layers of meaning in Beethoven require increasingly powerful intellectual skills on the part of the performer as his odyssey progresses . In the Piano Sonata in A flat major , Opus 110 , the fingers must let the musical argument fall to pieces in order to make way for a fragile melody that conveys what the Beethoven scholar Maynard Solomon has called ' lament fused with prayer ' . Solomon identifies Beethoven 's greatest legacy : music that achieves a state of holiness through suffering . His ' devotional journey ' leads us to a place of tranquillity that lies beyond the imagination of any other composer . It 's to be found especially in the only movement that reduced Beethoven himself to tears : the Cavatina of his String Quartet in B flat major , Opus 130 . But he strives after it in all the significant works of his so-called Third @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 1827 . And , despite all the fights he picked , he strove after it in his life , too . He prayed every day and , though his unshakeable belief in God was far from orthodox , he was reconciled to the Catholic church on his deathbed . Significantly , these were the only years in Beethoven 's life in which he was almost completely deaf . When he conducted the premi ? re of the Ninth Symphony in Vienna in 1824 , he carried on beating time after one of the movements had finished and was un-aware of the audience 's applause and cheers . By now he had given up hope of a cure and abandoned the fist-shaking defiance of his ' heroic ' period . And so we are confronted with an inevitable question . Could Beethoven have created the transcendent sound-world of his last piano sonatas and string quartets if he had not lost his own hearing ? We can only guess , but instinctively I feel that the answer is no : the cruel isolation of deafness created the possibility of writing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ face of God . That Beethoven grasped his opportunity is an achievement almost beyond comprehension . This year we are celebrating the anniversary not just of history 's greatest composer , but also one of its greatest human beings . Piano Concerto No. 1 , Mitsuko Uchida , Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra , Simon Rattle ( BPO ) The finale is the bounciest thing Beethoven ever wrote ; Uchida and Rattle infuse it with special joy . A tiny unscripted flourish from the oboe in the last few bars is heart-stoppingly lovely . Symphony No. 5 , Ensemble Modern , Peter Eotvos ( BMC ) A strangely thrilling Beethoven 's Fifth -- strange , because tiny details spring out of what sounds like a big band . Eotvos has snuck microphones into a chamber orchestra -- naughty , but a triumph . Piano Sonata No. 31 , Alfred Brendel ( Decca ) This live performance from 2007 represents the great pianist 's final thoughts on Beethoven 's most personal piano sonata . It unfolds naturally , with masterly command of structure and no @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ No. 15 , Busch Quartet ( Warner ) Beethoven 's great hymn of thanksgiving to his Creator here acquires a metaphysical longing that no other string quartet has come close to achieving . Recorded over 80 years ago and still a desert-island choice . |

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). Instead, it describes a situation where an event (a crash) caused Van Aert to be unable to race, without involving a verb that fits the means categories listed for the construction. The phrase 'put him out of racing' does not induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation as defined for the transitive out of -ing construction.

For that reason , cross is often a popular off-season training tool for the world 's best road riders . This season , we saw a fascinating selection of WorldTour riders head off road in order to sharpen both their skills and fitness in preparation for the 2020 road season . While there are genuine stars of both road and CX , including Lucinda Brand , Marianne Vos , and Mathieu van der Poel , we 've picked the riders who are n't racing in the winter as part of their regular plans , but are instead specifically using it to prepare for next season . Perhaps the most surprising rider to make an appearance in CX racing in the 2019/2020 season is Romain Bardet . The French star is a pure Grand Tour talent who is most comfortable battling up high-altitude climbs in the Alps or Pyrennees . But after a few seasons of disappointment while chasing glory in the Tour de France , Bardet has opted to mix things up for 2020 , including racing cyclocross and opting for the Giro d'Italia instead of the Tour .

The Team Ineos rider is an ever-present feature in the spring Classics and can always be seen burying himself in support of others at the Tour de France . In November , Kwiatkowski hit the dirt in the Polish Cup , where he finished 13th . Wout van Aert at Loenhout ( Photo by Luc Claessen/Getty Images ) Now of course , you could easily put Wout van Aert in the same category as Van der Poel -- a phenomenal cyclocross rider who can also dominate on the road -- but this season is very different for the Belgian superstar .

He followed up with fourth in Gullegem this month . While Van Aert , a triple CX world champion , is still clearly performing at an unbelievably high level off-road , his plans for this winter are to get back up to full speed ready for the spring Classics . That being said , it would n't be a shock if he 's able to find the legs to take a victory in the remaining few weeks of the CX season . After another phenomenal road season in 2019 , in which she won the World Championships , the Giro Rosa and Li ? ge-Bastogne-Li ? ge , Van Vleuten was already looking to 2020 when she lined up at the start of the Superprestige CX round of in Gieten in October . Van Vleuten abandoned the race three quarters of the way through , but stuck around at the side-lines to cheer on her rivals . The Australian decided to test his off-road legs after Merida launched a CX bike , and he seems to have fallen in love with the discipline . Haussler has raced seven events this winter , including the World Cup in Zolder where he finished 51st . He had more luck in Germany in November however , finishing third in the Bundesliga-Vaihinger . In an interview with Dutch broadcaster Sporza , he said : " It was very fun but very difficult . You can do 16 sprints or so in one hour . My average heart rate was very high , you just go in the red for an hour . |

Setting up your handle height correctly is sometimes often overlooked but is an integral step in creating your perfect ride whether you 're hunting aerodynamic gains or a more comfortable ride . Before making a start , you should account for things like your bike 's geometry : a bike with a short head tube will naturally place the handlebars on a lower position , and vice versa . So just because you had all the spacers removed on one bike , it does n't mean the same applies to another . Signs your handlebars are too low include numb hands and soreness in the lower back . If you 're making adjustments as a result of discomfort , the amount of pain you 're suffering from should also be understood . If you 're suffering a little soreness from a curved back this article should help you but if you 're in pure agony when riding we suggest seeing a professional bike fitter . Slam the stem for an aero fit -- but @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Getting that perfect fit can be determined by a few different things . Firstly , what do you want to get out of your riding ? Are you a long distance rider who values comfort or a racer who wants shave seconds off your personal best ? Generally -- if you 're after comfort , you 'll want a slightly higher position , if it 's aerodynamics and speed , you 'll wa n't to be lower . But bear in mind if you go too low for your level of core strength and flexibility , you 'll throw off your balance , producing less power and thus going slower . Use all the spacers to set your handlebar height higher If you 're looking for a more comfortable position for those longer rides you may entertain the idea of a more upright position , so a higher handlebar height would be a good solution . Alternatively if you 're racing , you 'll want to drop the handlebar height to a point where you 're low enough @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ this would be to get a bike fit where they can measure your body to the outcome you want . Unless you 're very serious about getting that perfect height , bike fits can be a bit expensive so do n't worry . A simple case of listening to your body when running a few different heights will give you a good indication as to what is a good height for you . Loosen the top cap and screws to adjust your handlebar height Now that you know what height you want it 's simply a case of rearranging your existing set up . First you 'll want to unscrew your stem cap bolt , usually situated in the centre of your stem cap . Once this is removed you can undo the bolts securing your stem to the steerer . Now that your stem is loosened , you can lower it or make it higher using your spacers . If you want a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ spacers and placing them on top of your stem giving you a lower position . The opposite will be true if you want a more upright posture , seeing more spacers being placed under the stem to give it a higher position . Now that you 've adjusted your set up to your needs , you can go ahead and tighten everything back up and be on your way . When doing this , make sure your handlebars align in a straight position so as to not affect your steering . A final point to note is that when tightening screws , it 's best practice to use a torque wrench to get the correct tension , preventing overtightening and failure . When doing so , be sure to tighten each screw to the same torque , giving an even fitting across all your screws . For the most part this should help alleviate any past problems but if you find that you are still suffering we recommend a visit to your local bike fit who will be @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ riding position . The height of a cyclists handlebars has long been a conversations just as concerned with fashion as with function . We discuss the attitudes around handlebar height , and the different elements involved in finding the perfect fit . Long and low might be fashionable -- but is it right for you ? It used to be so easy . You 'd receive a shiny new ' racer ' , for your birthday , as a prize for a satisfactory exam performance or perhaps to ease the burden of the paper round and the first thing you 'd do was shove the handlebars as low as they 'd go . Racer-style , see ? Provided the machine never travelled more than a few miles at a time , and few did , this rash act would be of little consequence . Low bars , especially when paired with the non-cyclist 's usual reluctance to raise the saddle to an effective height , mattered little . The fortunate few -- those youths , that is , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ would be shown another way . The true path to riding comfort would be explained by one of the club 's many old hands and , assuming the racer turned out to be roughly the right size , the saddle would be raised to what looked like an eye-watering level . Up would come the handlebars to match . The resulting position was invariably ' racy ' ; what young person would join a cycling club unless to have a crack at competition ? But it would , over time and under the tutelage of experienced eyes , be fine-tuned into something fast and comfortable , something suitable for the road . Today ? The modern road rider is as likely to be 40 as 14 years old . This places its own limits on the apish urge to slam the bars , but the real restriction on such fun comes from two sources : the growing influence of the bicycle fitting session and the recent advent of the killjoy ' sportive ' riding position . It is entirely possible that the two phenomena , which are @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ by the cycle industry of ' compact ' frame geometry has so befuddled the business of ascertaining frame size that even experienced cyclists are not truly happy until their posture has been adjusted following an exhaustive session of video analysis . That 's not to say that such sessions are n't an effective way to assess the matter . For the most part , they are -- precisely because they are founded on time-honoured principles made more rapidly applicable through the use of advanced technology . They take the waiting out of wanting a comfortable riding position . And ' comfortable ' is the keyword ; nobody wants to be uncomfortable . Discomfort is the fear widely associated with riding on handlebars placed too low . Riders are fearful , perhaps , of pulled hamstrings or displaced rotundity ; few older riders will complain of discomfort if their bars are high and close , so that 's where they so often end up . The industry counterpart is the ' sportive ' position . Beyond ' moderately upright ' , exactly what this @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ riders equally indifferent to speed ? Are they all happy to potter along peering over uncut hedges ? Surely not ; in every event this writer has ridden , a good percentage of participants are bent on getting around as fast as they can . Many , it may be said with confidence , look capable of riding in a road race bunch . Some might even be , of all things , competitive cyclists taking time out from real racing . Devoid of real meaning , the ' sportive ' label typifies the tendency to find sub-categories within any activity , but it does have one attraction : it allows the less ambitious road-person the emotional comfort of having the word ' sport ' inserted somewhere in the description of their shiny new mount . Which is great , but the least the sportive bike owner could do is actually get down on the drops . There is , after all , not much point in having them unless they get used . And , in this , the sportive bike owner has much in common with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the former is content to grasp handlebars placed high enough to clear a large wicker basket mounted over the front wheel , the latter can not be seen riding a cycle with even the slimmest of spacers under the stem . Sometimes it 's not really deliberate . The high-handed rider may have inadvertently bought a ' sportive ' cycle , while far too often the irresistible urge to emulate the professional racing cyclist has its way . Being flexible and keen to achieve the most aero riding position possible , the young chap ( invariably ) simply discards the spacers supplied with a frame and bangs the stem as low as it will go . This act is generally accompanied by the intemperate shortening of the steerer tube to a length that obviates the fitment of the spacer above the stem , the one that maximises system reliability . Such an extreme handlebar placement may well suit some of those who adopt it , but others find they ca n't ride on the drops for longer than a few seconds . This is all very well if @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the bunch at the end of a road race , but it is a waste of perhaps the most important attribute of dropped handlebars -- they are there to offer a range of hand positions , one of which puts the rider in a wind-cheating crouch . To be of any use , it must be sustainable , and to be of any point it must get used . I blame Greg LeMond . By using elbow-rest triathlon handlebars to beat Laurent Fignon on the last stage of the 1989 Tour de France , LeMond effectively killed off the use of road bikes in time trials and thus deprived the world of competitive road cycling of its most compelling reason to perfect the art of riding on the drops . Back when it was usual to ride time trials on drops , those wishing to maximise their average speed had little choice but to find a sustainable position . There were , of course , wide variations in trunk angle , the most important metric ; those blessed with exceptional flexibility might well ride with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on his way to winning the 1968 Tour de France comes to mind -- struggled to get as low as the more ambitious of today 's sportive riders . But they all rode comfortably on the drops for extended periods . If using the drops is n't possible , there 's not much point in having them . Equally , if the owner is n't looking to cheat wind resistance and does n't bother , there 's not much point in having them . In the latter case , flat handlebars would surely be a better choice . There is , of course , nothing wrong with riding around on a bike that only gets partly used -- many smaller sprockets see little use -- but those who do n't use the drops because they see no need should at least give them a go . If they turn out to be too low and far away , perhaps another fitting is called for . If they 're not , why not use them more ? On the other hand , it may well be that even @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ comfortably reach the freshly lowered drops . There 's a cheap and easy solution : move the brake levers up and back so they are easy to reach when on the ' tops ' . This is , in fact , the giveaway ; the fact that the brakes then ca n't really be used properly when on the drops is irrelevant if the drops themselves are perforce left idle . Incomprehensibly popular despite its limitations , the six-shooter brake lever set-up is , as with any variation possible within the limits of component positioning , entirely up to the user . Sean Yates famously prefers his levers slumped low on the bend , making them easy to reach on the drops but less so from the tops , and does so because he likes the straight-arm hold they offer when riding out of the saddle . But the efforts made by manufacturers to create ergonomically effective levers and hoods are largely wasted if they are n't put where they can be used correctly , which means from both tops and drops . And @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . It 's actually very easy to arrive at a starting position . Assuming correct bike size , saddle height and setback , place the bars so that , when the hands are on the drops , the trunk is at around 40 ? to horizontal . The upper arms should be at 90 ? or thereabouts to the trunk and there should be a slight bend at the elbow . Alter stem length to get the correct upper arm to trunk angle and adjust bar height to find the lowest position you can use comfortably for an extended period . So what if it 's not very low ? You are still able to use the drops when you need them . And how do you know your bike is the right size in the first place ? Hmm . That 's where a fitting comes in , these days . Saves buying a sportive bike when what you really need is a racer , do n't you see ? |

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction. The verb 'makes' does not involve causing or preventing an action, and the NP object 'a business' does not function as a causee. Additionally, the phrase 'out of buying up failed companies' does not induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation.

An IP must hold a licence and have : passed the insolvency examinations ( JIEB exams ) ; gained experience in insolvency work ; and satisfied an authorising organisation ( also known as regulator ) that they are fit and proper to act as an IP . that the Director of the above-named Company ( the ' convener ' ) is seeking a decision from creditors on the nomination of Joint Liquidators by way of a virtual meeting . A resolution to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ February 2019 . that a meeting of the creditors of the Company will be held at Jury 's Inn Aberdeen Airport , Argyll Road , Dyce , Aberdeen , AB21 0AF , on 19 February 2019 , at 11.00 am for the purposes mentioned in Sections 99 , 100 and 101 of the said Act . Creditors wishing to vote at the meeting must lodge their proxy , together with a statement of their claim at the offices of Kay Johnson Gee Corporate Recovery Limited , 1 City Road East , Manchester , M15 4PN , by no later than 12 noon on the business day preceding the date of the Meeting . Resolutions to be taken at the meeting may include a resolution specifying the terms on which the liquidator is to be remunerated , I do n't know much about this .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction. The verb 'makes' does not involve causing or preventing an action, and the NP object 'a business' does not function as a causee. Additionally, the interpretation does not align with either the movement/extraction or prevention interpretations characteristic of the construction.

Regarding the name , we do n't know yet that they are n't changing the product 's name . There 's nothing to gain by changing the company name but not the trading name . Given the complete mess RE continuea to be in on many levels , why would you keep the brand name associated with that mess , but change the company name ? Still plenty more to come on this . Let 's see if RE , LV or just HAAS is written on the side of the car in Germany . Vin-X refer to themselves as " Fine Wine Investment Experts " .

Anyway , it looks like some guy has taken over what was Rich Energy Limited . It looks like he makes a business out of buying up failed companies . Look at all of the companies he ; s a director of and then look at who else is/was a director - he 's the sole director now and all of the other directors have resigned the moment he came in .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'make more money out of selling merchandise' involves a transitive verb 'make' with an NP object 'more money', but it does not induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation, nor does the NP object function as a causee. Therefore, it is not an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

The New European is proud of its journalism and we hope you are proud of it too . If you value what we are doing , you can help us by making a contribution to the cost of our journalism How are you feeling today ? Good ? Like two-Minions-squealing good ? I 'll drink to that , or rather Leonardo DiCaprio will toast you with raised eyebrows and a saucer of champagne . Perhaps your current mood is more defiant , like Bette Davis brandishing a celery stick in All About Eve ( 1950 ) , or sad , like Boo wailing in Monsters , Inc ( 2001 ) . If you do n't know what I 'm talking about , that 's a little embarrassing for me , but do n't worry , I 'll just retreat backwards into this nearby hedge . Homer Simpson : it me . GIFs culled from films and TV shows have exploded across social media in recent @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to find an online conversation that is n't peppered with brief , seconds-long clips , often completely dissociated from their sources . On the one hand , you can take a sweeping glance at Twitter or WhatsApp and find modern visual culture celebrated like never before . On the other , these snippets are rarely credited to the original work or even to the individual GIF-makers , and can have their original meaning and relevance twisted beyond comprehension . The animated GIF celebrated its 30th birthday in 2019 - it 's the same age as the web itself . The original Graphics Interchange Format is two years older : it was invented by Steve Wilhite at CompuServe on June 15 , 1987 , as a compressed image format offering high quality at a smaller file size that could be used by all kinds of computers . Two years later , in 1989 , CompuServe introduced what now looks like a gamechanger , animation support . But it was n't until the mid-1990s and the early days of the World Wide Web that the GIF took off . Tiny looping @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ mention blinking banner ads that induced ferocious headaches . If you were online in the noughties you saw your fair share of these too : MySpace launched in 2003 , and users customised their pages lavishly with GIFs . But the GIF as we know it today is a true child of the 2010s . In 2012 , the Oxford English Dictionary made ' GIF ' its word of the year , and while Wilhite insists it is pronounced with a soft g , he is practically a lone voice among the millions who say otherwise . In 2015 , almost every social media platform you can think of added GIF keyboards to its messaging and commenting options . That GIF support is powered by platforms such as Giphy ( founded in 2013 ) and Tenor ( founded in 2014 ) : hosting sites where users , or brands , can upload GIFs for other people to use . GIFs are easy to make , and even easier to share . You never need to type words again . Simply let Leo and Boo do the talking for you @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a digital file . Film and TV GIFs have joined the rest of our online visual shorthand : the memes , likes , favourites and emojis that speed up our conversations and , arguably , reduce our attention spans . And because each GIF can mean whatever we want them to mean , we increasingly consider them our property rather than that of the original creators . There was an outcry recently , for example , when the adorable GIFs of the ' Baby Yoda ' character from new show The Mandalorian disappeared overnight from Giphy . The GIF-sharing site has apologised for the temporary lack of access to the tiny green cutie , although initially online users believed that Disney itself had pulled them so as to make more money out of selling merchandise further down the line . Earlier this year , Twitter users pronounced themselves shocked to discover that a popular GIF of a man nodding was in fact a very specific and famous man : Robert Redford in the 1972 film Jeremiah Johnson . Prior to that he had simply been ' nodding man @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , the actor Zach Galifianakis . That came swiftly after a short video clip of the movie Force Majeure ( 2014 ) was passed off online as real-life footage of an avalanche . It was a compelling scene from a very good film , but in terms of online discourse , it was simply fake news . So what makes a great GIF ? " It has got to have this element of being very , very specific but , at the same time , weirdly universal , " says Hannah Woodhead , associate editor at Little White Lies , and a connoisseur of internet memes . The perfect movie GIF for social media involves a moment unique to that film but so expressive that it is appropriate for a range of other moods . Woodhead is a big fan of Antonio Banderas turning away from his laptop with a satisfied laugh from the 1995 thriller Assassins , or Keanu Reeves ' grand entrance in the 2019 rom-com Always Be My Maybe . Both have multiple applications . Myself , I 'm quite fond of Myrna Loy wrinkling her @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ( 1934 ) . Is that because I hate talking on the phone , or because I really like The Thin Man ? Both , actually . The GIF is more than a replacement for banter . It has serious cinephile credentials . Arguably , our obsession with movie GIFs spread from the picture-heavy blogging platform Tumblr . From 2010 to 2015 , a Tumblr called ' If We Do n't , Remember Me ' shared elegant , subtly animated GIFs from films , revealing the beauty and the meaning in composition , lighting and small movements within each frame . Before the site closed , a selection of its best work was exhibited in a video installation at galleries around the world . GIFs can be blocky and blunt , but they can also be high-resolution , beautiful and neatly circular : an impeccable way to quote a movie . " It 's nice to me that this whimsical form of media could help people genuinely expand their artistic horizons and discover film history , " says Woodhead . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ memory of an otherwise mostly forgotten 1970s western - at least it did once people knew where it had come from . You do n't need to type in film titles to get a result from GIF keyboards ( although you can ) , simply moods or phrases . There 's a GIF of a fancy camera shot from the silent movie Wings ( 1927 ) that every so often goes viral , which goes to show that the first ever Best Picture Oscar-winner is still relevant in the 21st century , at least for a second or two at a time . But , of course , if the GIF is posted without credit , as so many of them are , then no one would be any wiser . It might as well be a clip of Zach Galifianakis . Should a responsible poster in a public forum credit both the original film and the person who created the GIF whenever they use one of these online keyboards ? Perhaps not , but surely there should be an onus on GIF uploaders and hosting sites to add @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ so that users know what they are referencing and whose work they are enjoying , without having to run off to knowyourmeme.com . However , responsible GIF usage goes further than that . Some people with photosensitive epilepsy find that the looping images can trigger their condition , and people with visual impairment using screen readers will rely on that crucial alt-text to get the joke . Then there 's a phenomenon known as ' digital blackface ' , defined by a 2017 editorial in Teen Vogue as using " the relative anonymity of online identity to embody blackness " . Simply put , white people posting reaction GIFs featuring people of colour are performing a kind of digital minstrelsy , as well as cultural appropriation , facilitated by the preponderance of racial stereotypes such as " angry black lady " as options in GIF search engines . Understandably , this can be wildly offensive , even if that was n't the intention behind the post . As journalist Victoria Princewill put it in a video for the BBC : " We 're not symbols of excessive @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ look more sassy , more sexy or more street . " Choosing the right GIF for the occasion requires sensitivity as well as a sense of humour . " I think we have to be comfortable with not being comfortable , " says Woodhead . " Acknowledging that is so important . All we can do is call it out when we see it and try to be better . " The best-made and chosen GIFs express something about the user 's true identity , anyway - not a pose . It 's the opportunity to combine unfiltered emotion and a hip cultural reference that draws many of us to the GIF keyboard , to find something better than words alone . Why be me , when I could be Myrna Loy ? Or one of those other two classic Hollywood GIF favourites - Cary Grant and Joan Crawford ? That said , the reign of the GIF may be over , at least in its democratic DIY form . Once marketing teams cottoned on to the popularity of GIFs among the cinephile sections of Twitter , they @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ scenes from new films even before they are released , are we not just doing the studio 's marketing for them ? Though it goes both ways : classic film fans seeking to promote their favourites regularly say a silent prayer of thanks to short-lived streaming site Filmstruck , which created and uploaded hundreds of impeccable movie moments to GIF platforms before it closed . For Woodhead , GIFs are no longer as cool as they once were , and the subtitled screenshot is now king . They 're quicker to load , for one thing . But , as the internet conversation gets faster and faster , sadly there will always be a few of us several steps behind . If only there were a GIF for that feeling . The New European is proud of its journalism and we hope you are proud of it too . We believe our voice is important - both in representing the pro-EU perspective and also to help rebalance the right wing extremes of much of the UK national press . If you value what we @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ contribution to the cost of our journalism . |

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). It lacks a verb in the V1 slot that fits the semantic classifications for the construction, and the phrase 'did n't want to miss out of receiving franking credit dividends' does not involve a VP2[-ing] predicate that would allow for a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, 'receiving' is part of a noun phrase following 'out of', similar to the non-examples in (7a) and (7b).

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction. It lacks a clear NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate structure. Additionally, the phrase 'made a deal out of getting away with too much' does not induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation, which are key characteristics of the construction. The object 'a deal' is not a causee participating in the event described by the VP2[-ing] predicate.

As expected players above 30 were axed , though the door is not officially closed for future selection . Woki and Jalibert are in the extended squad . The omissions of Raka but also Iturria , Gabrillagues , Belleau , B ? zy are indeed surprising . The latter 2 are in great form , the issue is that Toulouse and Toulon would otherwise be out of senior players in those positions ( some Top14 fixtures overlap with the 6N ) . The former 3 seem to be judged less favorably . In Raka 's case it seems harsh but to be fair Thomas and Rattez are doing very well . The France coaches ( including Edwards ) indicated that in the short run they would stick to the gameplans used during the World Cup . So it England 's analysts might not get overworked . I do n't think that one is going to scan business-wise . By all accounts Carre , who bear in mind had never started a league game for Blues at that point , was pretty cheap . He 'd be close to the last player on the list that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ basically got a young test level prop with all the potential in the world on entry level wages.As a Welsh fan I 'd like to see it and a lot of Cardiff fans got excited but as a move to ease the wage bill it makes no sense I 'm afraid . I agree and I 'm not totally absolving refs either . They too often clamp down on something and then ease off after a few games . In one of the first round European games this year I think it was Luke Pierce ( definitely an English ref ) who started rushing the teams to form the lineout instead of farting around in a huddle . He gave a couple of free kicks to start and they two teams quickly adjusted and started playing them faster . It looked good but no other refs followed through with it and neither has he as far as I can see and it goes back to status quo . My gripe is that its a haphazard lottery . Wales have the best 13 in Europe consistently for last 6 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ would have to be exceptional . But historically at Tight Head post A.Jones , 12 or 11 , you could pick up caps quickly . Webb did n't get 60 caps as M.Phillips stood in his way . A significant injury could also skew the numbers . Do you really have a problem with reading comprehension ? I have not at any time defended Saracens ' overpayments . The Op 's point , with which I agreed , was that clubs should be allowed special SC dispensation for developing England players . That would encourage clubs to develop their own and not rely so heavily on foreign imports . By all means disagree with that . But do n't attribute to me things which I have n't said . You are n't by any chance another version of Barrri Bunnn , are you ? Your level of vindictiveness and lack of comprehension are similar . Try reading icebear 's comment ; he actually understood the point that was being made . Apparently not , according to the experts at WR , who categorised it as a shoulder charge @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ That 's fair ; allow me to clarify : I 'm talking about his techinque under pressure . Sure , the majority of his tackles are legal , but when it comes to a crunch tackle he 's determined to make a crunch regardless . I ca n't imagine you finding a similar number of offences , or ratio of offences per game or tackle , for Barrett or Russell or Ford or Sexton ( though Sexton did seem to like to go high ) . His reputation goes back before November 2018 , I think that 's just when it went viral . He was doing it in NZ in 2014 , and no doubt before then . Look at Cipriani 's tackle against Munster that got him red carded in 2018 : it 's a shoulder charge , but a retreating shoulder charge , and Munster 12 is bent over somewhat . It 's nowhere near as bad as Farrell 's shoulder charge and the weekend , or against SA etc. , yet Cipriani got sent off and Farrell continues to get away with it . And @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and dangerous and getting away with it . It 's not unreasonable . Does he always tackle illegally ? Of course not . Does he tackle illegally enough and as blatantly to get noticed ? Absolutely . Add to that his ... polarising nature and the that he gets away with it , and of course people will focus on it . But that does n't mean they 're wrong . Do you think that the tackles people are referring to are ok ? As in : were you given the job - from the comfort of your home and with the wisdom of a sobering shot of whisky - of judging these tackles , would you judge them to be legal and safe ? I suppose it does n't matter - you have your position , based on reasoning that you believe to be solid , and I have mine , based on reasoning I believe to be solid . Unless one of us provides some compelling evidence one way or t' other , I doubt either will change our position . Still , it 's been @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ enjoyed Archer 1999 ! Steff Hughes may well be worth it . He 's been seen as a bit of a decent club player , especially as he 's placed behind a Lions man of the series quality of player . He 's obviously well respected at Scarlets , having played all but 20 minutes of the Scarlets 14 games this season . People said that about Josh Navidi too though ( and yes I was guilty there ) . He was behind Lydiate , Warbs and Faletau in the national side , which did n't help , and had the misfortune to go to Japan during the 2013 Lions . Almost every time he played for the Blues he looked the best player in the side and was consistently excellent in a generally poor side . I was n't that surprised when he immediately looked the part for Wales , though I was a bit worried about his lack of pace It 's such a pivotal role nowadays I 'd rather someone solid and capable there than an experiment with a winger that leaves @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on the wing as he 's on fire there at the moment . It 's said that it 's the hardest position in defence , so might as well have someone who plays there every week . Moving Adams there , who had a great RWC but looked a bit suspect in defence , would be a ' Bergamasco at 9 ' level of mistake Ben Thomas looks a great talent but not ready yet for me . He tends to follow a dazzling moment with a mistake . Which is fine as he 's barely been playing at that level for more than a month or two but would be exposed in international rugby . Needs to bed in with the Blues I think . A clear cut shoulder charge has always been a penalty , yes , though there was questionable use of arm to wrap in this instance , which is what Gardner thought at the time . What I take exception to is going from the specifics of one incident to you now talking in general terms about " his technique " @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ roughly 300 professional matches , made 1000s of tackles and very few have been on the wrong side of the law . He did n't even have a reputation for no arms shots pre November 2018 , despite being the best part of 7 years into his test career and the other controversial moment from that series did n't really bear much relation in terms of technique . People were watching him like a hawk for his tackles before and during the world cup but nothing happened , as it usually does n't . Now , the following January people have leapt on the slightest moment of controversy because of their confirmation bias , it confirms what they have already assumed . Not that i 'm aware of , he played in the Racing/Clermont game I watched last week . Had an embarrassing moment whern T Thomas ripped the ball off him in full flight whitewash in sight .. TT had a very decent game it must be said ... Beck is playing well for Worcester , but this silly inconsistent 60 Cap law will prevent him being @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . Yes there are probably too many caveats for it be truly consistent ( although they do follow a logic ) but its end goal was to keep more players in Wales and bring some back and in that it seems to be working . If that means missing out on Ashley Beck then I think it 's a price worth being paid . According to the Rugby Paper the cash fine is more than twice that for any similar offence that was administered to any club in any sport . That 's before factoring in the probable damage to Sarries European ambitions for next season caused by the 35 point deduction . Neither do I feel any sympathy for those who wish to punish a club beyond the agreed rules . It reduces them to the same level as the original perpetrators.Sarries broke the rules and have paid for it . Effectively , Wray has lost his club . The club has had the quest for honours taken from them . That should be the end to it . The savagery of this judgement is way beyond @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ well be worth it . He 's been seen as a bit of a decent club player , especially as he 's placed behind a Lions man of the series quality of player . People said that about Josh Navidi too though ( and yes I was guilty there ) . It 's such a pivotal role nowadays I 'd rather someone solid and capable there than an experiment with a winger that leaves half a dozen doglegs in defence . Leave Adams especially on the wing as he 's on fire there at the moment . The link I sent uses that tackle as example of a shoulder charge that should have resulted in a yellow card . Yes , it clarified the decision-making , but shoulder charges have been at least a penalty for years . Do you honestly not have a problem with his tackling technique , a technique which is used by WR to illustrate what tackles with a high degree of danger look like ? If not , fair enough , we 're each entitled to our opinion . I probably have misremembered @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ or his swan diving , and even I thought it was harsh compared to some of the stuff that has gone unpunished before or after . The link you sent does n't seem to make a reference to Farrell , though I believe , if memory serves , it was part of a clamp down they decided to put in place before the world cup . Those were n't the directives in place when the match took place in November 2018 , though he was used as an example of how matches should be reffed differently . It is unfair to hold that against him too much . He was on the lucky side with that decision , no doubt , though I have never said that Farrell has n't been lucky sometimes . My contention is that times that he has been lucky stick in the memory more because people otherwise do n't like him . Admittedly in this case it was at the very end of the match and would likely have changed the result , which also made it memorable , though instances of players being @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ attempt to wrap in a tackle are not uncommon . I did n't know how to respond to your previous post and just left it . You had enough self deprecation in there that I was n't sure how to . I do n't think refs are perfect , though they get to the right decision more often than not and when a player is deemed to get away with too much that , to me , is much more likely to be a result of their profile than how they are actually treated . McCaw is another example of someone that the BTL community have made a deal out of getting away with too much , though truth be told I 've never been that convinced by it with him either . He was a very high profile , highly skilled player . Sure , he got away with some stuff , though I do n't know if it was as disproportionate as people make out , we can agree to disagree . Got to say though , you seem to have really misremembered Ashton 's 10 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it as a " brush to the face " , he rather forcefully pulls on Marshall 's head , he just did n't mean to get him in the eye , so people thought the ban was harsh , there is a video below : Extremely young squad for France announced today . Will hope guys like Woki , Jalibert and a couple of others from the U20 WC winning squads from the last couple of years . Big first fixture for England in Paris ! Did n't Gats toy with North in midfield on occasion or maybe I imagine that ? Unfortunately you did n't imagine it , North played 13 on a couple of occasions . I think he did ok once , but he played v Aus in the 2015 RWC pool game ( due to Wales losing Scxott Williams , Hallam Amos and Liam Williams v Eng ) and murdered a huge overlap by running a terrible line back to the defence while Aus were down to 13 players . Whenever you try to spin for Sarries and toss out the latest @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 3rd and 4th order effects . Yet in the race to paint Sarries in a favorable light these are never considered because they do n't fit the narrative . I was n't trying to spin for Sarries , they cheated , got caught and are now paying the price , end of . My point was why would English clubs bother to develop quality English players if they ca n't actually hang on to them , where is the incentive ? I think a there needs to be a larger proportion of the wage bill which does n't count against the cap for English qualified players that the club has developed . I 'm not sure why you also seem to think that this would have stopped the Vunipola brothers from playing for Saracens ? If that was their choice and the salary was available why would they not play there ? How about develop 1 , get one free ? If you have 10 England internationals , past or current , this then allows you to employ 10 other English qualified uncapped players with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ clubs fill their boots with English players ! Beck is playing well for Worcester , but this silly inconsistent 60 Cap law will prevent him being selected . Tyler Morgan playing very well , Hughes reliable if not spectacular , 21 Yr Old Baldwin looks a fine player may need another year , Warren wont let anyone down , Lane , Mcnichol , Steff Evans could all do a job there . Lane needs time at 13 , he is a natural for the position . He is quick for an OC , extremely difficult to stop and finds space well . He needs to find a coach who will guide him and time at a region to allow him development time . This is a major problem in Welsh Regions , young players given game time on Wings and become competent Square pegs as the Centre position requires more experience and stronger tackling frames . He can be a good winger but wo n't I feel hit the heights internationally , especially with the young talent coming through . He will also face competition shortly at @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in the 13 position soon . Whilst he is still young , he needs a region that will develop him sooner rather than later . Yeah North often drifts in to take up some of the carry load . All midfielders are struggling to break gain because the rush/drift is on to them too quickly ( often from an offside position ) . Attacks often end up miles behind the gain before the last receiver even gets his mits on the ball . WR should seriously consider setting the defensive line back 5/10 mtrs so as to give time for the carriers to at least get some speed up . As it stands an attack ends up with the awful one out truck it up into contact recycle rinse and repeat which means endless rucks policed poorly and are in reality an injury waiting to happen.That 's my take anyway ... |

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). It involves an intransitive verb 'evolved' with no NP object, and the second predicate 'excelling in complex and urgent situations' does not induce either a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation.

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction. It lacks an NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate structure.

ONE of the most highly-anticipated films of the new year features scenes filmed on Teesside . First World War epic , 1917 , which opened in cinemas on Friday , tells the story of director Sir Sam Mendes ' grandfather and others who served in the Great War . Tees Barrage International White water Centre was used for its ability to simulate extreme water conditions in a controlled environment , which saw British actor and star George MacKay flung around in the rapids . The Hollywood blockbuster , which has already picked up two awards at the Golden Globes for best motion picture - drama and best director for Sam Mendes , also stars Dean-Charles Chapman , Mark Strong , Andrew Scott , Richard Madden , Colin Firth and Benedict Cumberbatch . 1917 is also nominated for nine BATFAs .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). It involves the phrase 'opt out of paying into a Qualifying Scheme', where 'opt out of' is followed by a gerund phrase, but there is no NP object between the verb 'opt' and 'out of'. Additionally, the interpretation does not align with either the movement/extraction or prevention interpretations characteristic of the transitive out of -ing construction.

The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate ('Father Dave LaBonte' + 'tried to talk' + 'Darren' + 'out of leaving the military'). It also fits the prevention interpretation, where the subject is attempting to prevent the object from performing the action described by the VP2[-ing] predicate. The verb 'talk' is classified under means of verbal persuasion, which is one of the categories of verbs that can appear in the V1 slot of the construction. The NP object 'Darren' is a causee who participates in the event described by the VP2[-ing] predicate 'leaving the military'. Therefore, this sentence is an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). It involves the phrase 'opting out of answering', which lacks an NP object and does not induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it describes a choice not to answer, which does not align with the properties of the transitive out of -ing construction.

Imagine you are filling out a job application and you encounter a question that to answer truthfully would require divulging something unsavoury about yourself . For example , if you were asked to reveal your less-than-stellar college grades , would you answer the question ? When in the awkward position of being asked to reveal our warts , people are , understandably , often reluctant . But lots of us also feel uncomfortable telling an outright lie . As a result , most of us deal with this situation by avoiding answering the question at all . Does this strategy truly pay off ? How do we come across when we refuse to answer sensitive questions ? Do we come across better or worse than if we simply " came clean " and revealed our faults ? In research published in 2016 in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences , my collaborators Kate Barasz , Michael Norton and I asked people for their impressions of those who choose to be tight-lipped . In one series of experiments , research @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ rather date . We showed our participants the potential mates ' answers to several multiple-choice questions . ByDan de Sybel But these were n't just any questions . We chose questions that , if answered , would reveal the respondent 's indiscretions ; such as : " Have you ever neglected to tell a partner about an STD you are suffering from ? " The potential mates chose from one of five response options : never , once ; sometimes ; frequently ; or choose not to answer . We carefully constructed the potential mates ' answers in order to test how answering -- as opposed to not answering -- affected how they came across to our study participants . Specifically , one of the potential dates -- the " revealer " -- said that they frequently engage in all of the shady activities they were polled about . Surely it ca n't get worse than this . Or can it ? The other potential date -- the " @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ questions ( and for the answered questions , gave the same response as the revealer ) . In telling us who they would prefer to date , our study participants essentially answered this question : would you rather date someone who freely admits to being an inordinately shady human being , or someone who sometimes abstains from answering personal questions ? Which person would people prefer to date : a hider or a revealer ? It shocked us that 64 per cent of our respondents chose the revealer over the hider . And it 's not just in dating that people prefer revealers to hiders . When asked which of two job candidates they would rather hire -- one forthcoming about having received an F grade in an exam , the other abstaining from answering the job application 's question about grades -- people choose the former . Now , presumably , people would be much less interested in hiring a flunker than a straight A student ; the key point is that when faced with a direct question , opting out of answering can @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ This is not to say we should , unprompted , reveal our deepest and darkest secrets in order to impress people . Our research shows that , at least in situations where disclosure is expected -- in response to a direct question , for example -- failing to comply is unwise . Why is this so ? We 're hard-wired to feel a sense of kinship towards those who disclose things about themselves . And there are very good reasons for this : self-disclosure is a basic building block for intimacy , a fundamental human need . Those who explicitly abstain from this activity are viewed as circumspect , and hence , avoided . Our preference for revealers is so strong that it can lead us to favour those who admit the worst of faults , relative to those who simply abstain from disclosure . |

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, it uses 'out of nothing' which is an idiomatic expression and does not involve a VP[-ing] predicate. Additionally, there is no NP object that functions as a causee, and the sentence does not give rise to either a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation.

Regardless of that , Horner is talking about current performance , not Hamilton 's first 5 years in F1 . Horner has never worked with Lewis , he is simply guessing from the outside . He is also talking up his man so who knows . Oh and on your other question , yes if the best driver in the world ever just drove minardi 's his entire career his final status would remain speculative . Its not always fair , . but until you handle the pressure at the very top for extended runs of competition for the actual titles noone truly knows if you have what it takes to do so . I mean I 'm pretty damned sure Max does , he has all the characteristics I would expect from a future multiple champion , but no he has not yet had that pressure and dealt with it . At the moment he is in a position where if he drives exceptionally he looks a hero , if he drives ' okay ' that has no real downside . Even if he ****s up its just another race . All of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ now become an issue , I remember a time when Vettel and Schumacher records / stats were banded around as a sign of their superiority and then all of a sudden it comes to a certain someone and the usual suspects are out to denounce any mere mention of it and anyone who does is immediately called the dreaded fanboy As someone said earlier in the thread which I think is befitting ( Hamilton ... grrr ... grrr ) You do n't need to state the obvious and preach to the choir about what we already know , that stats and records by them selves do not paint the real picture . Context and circumstances does paint a better picture but these get lost in translation or rather history after a period of time . Not all of it is lost though as drivers like Stirling Moss and Gilles V without a WDC as still revered in F1 history . They however stood the test of time and showcased their talent over a period of time . Max is good no doubt and as he has shown @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is too early to say , He needs to do this consistently and on a regular basis for him to be compared to Lewis . Now if Horner 's comments are to do with say the last 10/11 races Lewis has won 8 of those 11 races and staked his claim , yes some might say its the car but you will only find a handful of racers that won 8 out of 10 consecutive races . So on recent form he is there , over a career , he is also there . The same can be said of Max who has ironed out a lot of his errors and handily beaten his team mate in the last 12 months as well , but if you ask as of today to pick a driver out of the 2 for a championship campaign for your team starting today , I will definitely pick Lewis as he has stood the test of time , is driving well and has the talent , With Max yes he is good but the errors have not been totally ironed out , Austria could @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ well , his penalty in Monaco is not too far away . However if you were to ask to pick a driver for the next 5-6 years campaign , then definitely Max may have the edge as he can only get better and the thought of that is frightening . So if Horner 's comments is referring to the last 12 months , I still think Lewis edges it , over a career period , then Lewis 's stats speak for themselves , but for who is better overall , then Max has to bide his time , be consistent and in a few years we can start comparing . It is too early for that right now . For those referring to stats as meaningless , they should be weary as drivers like Senna , Schumacher and Vettel are also affected by these stats Except nobody is saying stats do n't matter anymore . They 're just not applicable to this debate . What Horner said about Max which has apparently had everyone reaching for the smelling salts is this : " As @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . " As the driver in the form of his life , arguably over the past 12 months , he 's been the best driver in the world . So in that context Hamilton 's career poles , wins and titles mean nothing . The best driver would n't spend the whole of his career in a Minardi . I never see the rationale for that argument.The cream does usually rise to the top team in F1 . The stat that says it all to me is Lewis being the only driver to have won at least one race every season he has driven . That includes at least one Mclaren dog . Several others were n't all that , and his first Mercedes was n't great either . your comments are more applicable to a debate on who is the G.O.A.T . rather than the actual topic here That will never happen . No team could find the money to employ both of them . It 's totally pointless people continually coming up with this nonsense . Ditto Alonso . If Mercedes made @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that they had to spend extra on their CFD set-up and therefore ca n't pay his replacement more than , say , ? 1 million ... I 'm pretty sure Mr. Wolff gets about ... 17 phone-calls from just current F1 drivers . Before lunchtime . Unless these guys are utter idiots and wasted all their money , they 're already set for life . They 'd jump on that chance without a second thought . His post was about Max ( or Alonso ) taking that Merc seat for the kind of money you mention in your post . He would n't . I think Alonso may well do in the scenario outlined above . I get the impression he would do anything to get the best car . Having said that , I ca n't see any feasible scenario where Mercedes would be able to plead poverty or resource reallocation and be taken seriously . They already have the biggest budget in F1 so their various departments are n't short on funds . I very much doubt finances would ever be a reason for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ comments , the Mercedes driver played down the comparisons but did pay credit to the Dutch driver following his charge through the field to take victory at the Austrian Grand Prix last time out . " I do n't compare myself to anybody . I do n't need to . I do n't really have a response to his Horner 's claims , " Hamilton said . " Ultimately every now and then someone needs certain attention . " I think Max has been doing a great job and it is really exciting to watch . I think the last race was fantastic . It will be really interesting to see how they go moving forward . " Bit of a stupid question to ask him tbh . What 's he supposed to say when someone asks him why another TP thinks they might have the best driver ? I do n't think his dig was necessary but I do despair at how some hacks always try to stir up controversy out of nothing Lewis competing at the sharp end of the grid race in race @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ since 2010 ) and maintains an incredible level of performance every single weekend , every single session . Max races in a bubble of his own , one which he is n't ever going to threaten the top two teams and is n't going to be threatened by anybody from behind ( not even his teammate who rarely finishes within three places of Max ) and maintains a good level of performance . But yes , Max is the one setting the world alight Fair point . I still think my point stands though , he is largely racing without pressure at every single race . From either inside his team or outside . I do n't think that 's true at all . He 's 3rd in the WDC , in a car which really should n't be challenging the Ferraris , in a team that is not known for having any great degree of patience with failure or even mediocrity , and carrying the flag for Honda after their abysmal recent history . You think there 's no pressure there ? I do n't see @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in easily the best car and does n't have to overdrive it to get results . He has the full support of his team and a team mate he knows he can comfortably beat . He 's experienced at winning both races and titles and probably knows that nothing bar an accident will likely derail his 6th title bid . What exactly does he have to feel any pressure about ? He 's probably got the lowest pulse rate of anybody on the grid . I agree that Hamilton maintains an exceptionally high level of performance for the most part . But that does n't mean that it 's impossible for another driver to have done better these last twelve months . And that 's all that Horner has been saying . Lewis competing at the sharp end of the grid race in race out since 2014 ( in a title fight every season since 2010 ) and maintains an incredible level of performance every single weekend , every single session . Max races in a bubble of his own , one which he is n't ever going @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to be threatened by anybody from behind ( not even his teammate who rarely finishes within three places of Max ) and maintains a good level of performance . But yes , Max is the one setting the world alight Point 1 : he wasnt in championship contention every year from 2010 . In 2011 and 2013 he wasnt . And has maintaind an incredible level every weekend every session ? Come on now .. brazil qualifying in 2017 or baku 2016 , Austria 2017 or Russia 2017 alone where not stellar performances from him wich is normal as Nobody is perfect every weekend . Actually Lewis said Average to Above Average . So yes . At this point , yes . As for Paddy Lowe 's quote do you honestly think Lewis is driving worse now ? If so : Did you actually read Hamilton 's own words ? Let 's first start with what Paddy Lowe said according to you : " When we get the car back from Lewis we know that everything that the car can deliver has been extracted @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ " Now , let 's see what Hamilton said about his first 6 races of 2019 : " I feel like I 've got the best I could get from the results . I 've arrived prepared , the best prepared I could be . But in terms of extracting the true performance from the car , I feel like I 've struggled a little bit in these six races . " Then let 's look at the past 12 months , alone . Oh wait , 8 wins last season and 6 wins this season . I wo n't even add poles and fastest laps . It surely can not be that hard to understand that a driver winning a race does not necessarily mean he was the best driver in the race when talking about a non-spec series ?

Those words He said he arrived prepared , very prepared . He 's struggled with the car , not himself . See the difference . And why are you limiting this to 6 races and not the first 9 ?

The problem seems to me to be that you are fixated on data but that 's not really relevant to what Horner said , which is the whole premise of this thread . He was asked by a journalist if he thought his driver was the best in F1 and he replied yes . He even explained why and referenced not being in the best car which would explain the discrepancy between " best driver " and the points standings . But you just quote some statistics on race wins ?

It becomes more routine , expected even . I think the pressure angle is heavily overestimated . Max said that his Mexico win was the easiest race he ever had . When you 're in front you can go at your own pace and given how hard it is to overtake generally you do n't have that many high pressure moments , particularly if the guys behind you do n't have a car advantage . Ca n't believe there are 12 pages on this . Max has been mostly racing in no mans land with no pressure plus one great last race . I do n't think he 'd be quite so perfect in a title fight against Hamilton who has been there and done it many times . Boils down to a bit of marketing by Horner . I 'm a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that Max is the most talented driver on the grid currently . I think he could potentially beat either Hamilton or Vettel in the same car IF he can handle the pressure that comes with the title battle . youre a lewis supporter , but ive never seen you in any of the merc or bottas vs lewis threads . But I was told on this thread that Max never had " off " weekends ... surely he must be immune to set-up problems ? He never has . When he 's well ahead of his teammate , it 's because he 's getting the most out of the car . When he 's close to his teammate , it means the teammate has improved , but Max has gotten the most out of the car .

So you can always conclude before the weekend starts that Max will get the most out of his car , and you 'll always be right . It 's incredible . I know its meaningless but FP3 illustrated it well . If Gasly is his usual 7 tenths behind it looks like Max overperformed by splitting the Mercs . Considering the low rate of errors both Max and Lewis have it seems foolish to me to conclude under these circumstances that he is maximizing his car performance definitely more @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Bottas had a very good race today , on pace with Lewis . I do n't know which race did you watch . But he admitted in his post race interview that he had wear and his tyres dropped off at the end , hence the decision to turn down the engine . Considering he pitted after Lewis , had relatively clean air throughout the race , and did n't have to run in the dirty air of Sebastian for very long or even over take him , still a very disappointing performance . Bottas race pace was quite good . He could n't match Lewis , especially near the end of the stints but Lewis tyre management is much better . I 'm convinced that Valtteri has to set the car up for low fuel if he wants to compete with Lewis for qualifying , but then it affects him badly in race pace . Alternatively , and I think it was the case this weekend , he set his car for a good balance between quali and race and his quali suffered and while he was n't as quick as Lewis in the race @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ going to have his moments in every season when he beats Lewis over a weekend , but to do it over a season is another thing . When Lewis starts to figure out the car , he steps up another gear . But he 's definitely beatable any given weekend and this one could have gone the other way had Q1 not been red flagged and possibly Merc could n't have got his car out in time . Lewis already won WDC question is where he takes it . Tbh the sooner the better . Season has been one of the most boring and pales in comparison to seasons like 2014 , 2016 and 2018 . Maybe the even calender years are the better ones ? Hoping Ferrari get their act together next year with Leclerc making the season a lot more interesting . Will be great to see Lewis , Max and Leclerc battle for the title . I have a feel its going to be good year .

Can afford to finish P2 in every race from hereon and still win by 9 points . What he ca n't afford is too many DNFs so expecting him to play it smart . Such as not crashing in P3 ! There are 5 drivers that can win the remaining races , which makes it more difficult for Bottas , his closest competitor , to have anything more than a gambler 's chance at the championship . edit : I really can see why Lewis wants more cars competing with Merc . It actually makes it easier for him . It 's more difficult when the Merc is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ challenger with most races being decided by who gets to turn 1 first . But with more competitors , everyone is stealing points from each other so the most consistent driver has the advantage . 65 points lead !

Btw anyone notice that Lewis had his usual cockup out of La Source at the start ? He HAD Seb given his mistake but then I think he had a rubbish exit so could n't capitalise in the run up the hill and Bottas was on his tail .

I thought this as well at first , but it was n't a cock up @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , so his exit was compromised . Quite sad to see many people come here just to mock Bottas . Shameful stuff . Yes , he was no match to Hamilton but he managed well and drove to podium . I have n't really seen any real mockery of Bottas tbh . You do n't even see Maverick posting that he 's been tonked . I think people are just responding to the hype partially built by himself at the start of the season of a Bottas 2.0 . Any mockery is probably more directed at that notion than at Bottas himself . For all the hype , this has probably been his worst season at Mercedes so it 's no surprise people are pointing this out in the drivers thread . Ofc the sneering might also have a cathartic element because for one race at the very start of the season when Lewis had car damage , only outqualified him by a tenth ( at a track he usually puts a few tenths on his teammate ) , and said he was struggling with the tyres @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to Lewis ' title aspirations , and we all had to endure coverage based solely on that .

Now that you point it out , I definitely notice that it 's been a trend throughout his career , almost like his China turn 15 ( ? ) line . Lool Give over . He was his same old " after holiday break " phase . I personally do n't think he goes well at this track anyway . not sure what his williams results were . Probably Marklar would know but Lewis had the pace over him fullstop . He still finished ahead of one Ferrari . Not forgetting the major ' concern ' in here from the most vocal anti-Bottas voices with regards Mercedes retaining him was that he 'd be all at sea and no @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Btw anyone notice that Lewis had his usual cockup out of La Source at the start ?

It was the restart that he messed up . Vettel locked up in front of him and Hamilton deliberately backed off to try and give himself a better slingshot . He should 've kept it pinned . Just looking through the lap-times again , Mercedes were perhaps better served letting Vettel kill his tyres and fall back to Lewis , rather than chase him down . Hamilton exited the pits around 7s behind Leclerc , an almost identical gap after he had passed Vettel . But in-between all of that Hamilton at one stage was only 4s behind Leclerc . If he had looked after his tyres and let Vettel come to him , maintaining the 6-7s gap , he may have cleared Vettel easier and had more @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ through the lap-times again , Mercedes were perhaps better served letting Vettel kill his tyres and fall back to Lewis , rather than chase him down .

If he had looked after his tyres and let Vettel come to him , maintaining the 6-7s gap , he may have cleared Vettel easier and had more tyre life to go after Leclerc . Easy to say in hindsight . You know you give a big advantage away on saturday when you are not competitive enough to have a car on the front row . Ferrari could control the race and they did it very well with this as the result . Bottas had a very good race today , on pace with Lewis . I do n't know which race did you watch . Not really . Hamilton spend nearly all race behind Vettel 's gearbox . Whenever he had @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ race ) he pulled quickly away from Bottas and that despite stressing his tyres from fighting with Vettel . Ca n't say I really agree . Mercedes ( or Lewis ) generally has better wear than Ferrari due to more downforce , and this will give them an advantage just like we saw today . Parabolica , can be extremely difficult on the front right , particularly if you 're sliding more than your rivals due to a low drag concept . Last year we saw this with Kimi when he struggled with the tyres at the end of the stint , which allowed Lewis to pass him , despite Ferrari 's superior straightline speed . Also Ferrari may use the softest tyres better , or rather Mercedes used them less well , but the C2 is still the medium tire and there 's every chance it could be used during the race . Merc has also demonstrated excellent pace on the softs . I see many ways Ferrari could lose this , and I 'm also factoring in Hamilton . He 's a beast on this @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ driver ) where he makes up a lot of his time . I just rechecked the forecast and rain is predicted on the Friday and Sunday in the Monza region . Unless you have a more specific local forecast I 'll keep my mind open to the possibility . Forecasts are useless until mid-week anyway . I do n't disagree re : wear , but remember that HAM fought the slowest of the two Ferrari , and RAI mismanaged his tyres earlier in the stint by pushing too hard . Also do n't think you can compare the wear through Parabolica to the punishment through Sector 2 at Spa . Monza is effectively made of Spa 's Sectors 1 and 3 , and Ferrari had a definite advantage over Merc in today 's race there ( 2-4 tenths in S1 , 0-2 tenths in S3 ) . And that 's with Ferrari using a Spec 2 engine that has already done a handful of GP ! Imagine with a brand new engine ! Hamilton spend nearly all race behind Vettel 's gearbox . Whenever he @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of race ) he pulled quickly away from Bottas and that despite stressing his tyres from fighting with Vettel . Though it was better than usual , at least . You do know they told Bottas to go easy on his tyres when he catching up to Lewis . Also lets be honest Bottas was racing to delta . Even if he caught Lewis I very much doubt he will atempt to pass Lewis . He turned down his engine and brought the points home . Save the PU while you can no point pushing for the sake of it . Look what happened the last time he pushed at Hockenheim But make no mistake it Bottas gets pole and is leading you will see him push to the max . Just wish he will get back to his early season pole form . Bottas pole = win . He could do nothing on lap 1 . It was the restart that he messed up . Vettel locked up in front of him and Hamilton deliberately backed off to try and give himself a better slingshot . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ n't think there was a chance of Lewis staying/getting ahead in either situation . On Bottas winning another race this year - Sochi has got to be his best chance based on previous performance . But I think it will have to be a force of circumstance to make it happen this year . Hamilton losing time behind Verstappen or something . On Bottas winning another race this year - Sochi has got to be his best chance based on previous performance . But I think it will have to be a force of circumstance to make it happen this year . Hamilton losing time behind Verstappen or something . It depends on the other teams . Verstappen with that new engine will also be a force . Other teams are taking away wins at the moment . The team deserve some credit for the strategy again . When it looked like Vettel had the better strategy , the team held their nerve . The team has worked a long time with Hamilton . They know how to handle it by now , the recipe @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ calm him down , and meanwhile execute the strategies as they think best . They can count on Hamilton extracting close to the max from the car , which is all that matters . The radio is literally just noise . Bottas has to try n not only Beat Hamilton which is a talll order but he has to beat Max , keep Albon at bay and also contend with Charles who 's IMO has been better then Bottas all year and then contend to Seb eventual good race ... thats why i said he s not going to win another race as he s 100% not been as good as Lewis Charles and Max , been on par with Seb and now has Albon prob going ti be on par with if not better then him in a race more or 2 time . Bottas showed today exactly why he 's a big risk next season if the teams stay as close as they are now , he easily could be the slowest of those 6 ... if Renault or McLaren make a leap then only worse @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 5 laps .. he needs to keep pressure on him not sit back ...

Mercedes will be the best car at a few of these final races , if not more . All it takes is a Hamilton error or a great performance by Bottas and he 'll win . Personally I 'd be amazed if he did n't win in Russia this year . It 's been great watching Hamilton duke it out with the next gen future stars the last couple of races . The way he hounded Max and Leclerc right to the end of both races has been a joy to watch . The next couple of seasons could be quite something . Vettel just seems a shadow of his former self and is offering very little fight . I also think Bottas is done for this season , so Hamilton seems to be looking towards max and Leclerc to give him that motivation to keep pushing , as staying motivated with all the success he 's had must be getting harder and harder . If the last 2 races are anything to go by , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ by Lewis especially and wasnt a million miles from sneaking a win .. but can he ever stop with the ' whats happening why did nt we stop earlier why am I behind ?

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, it uses 'out of nothing' which is an idiomatic expression and does not involve a VP[-ing] predicate. Additionally, there is no NP object that functions as a causee, and the sentence does not yield a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation.

Regardless of that , Horner is talking about current performance , not Hamilton 's first 5 years in F1 . Horner has never worked with Lewis , he is simply guessing from the outside . He is also talking up his man so who knows . Oh and on your other question , yes if the best driver in the world ever just drove minardi 's his entire career his final status would remain speculative . Its not always fair , . but until you handle the pressure at the very top for extended runs of competition for the actual titles noone truly knows if you have what it takes to do so . I mean I 'm pretty damned sure Max does , he has all the characteristics I would expect from a future multiple champion , but no he has not yet had that pressure and dealt with it . At the moment he is in a position where if he drives exceptionally he looks a hero , if he drives ' okay ' that has no real downside . Even if he ****s up its just another race . All of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ now become an issue , I remember a time when Vettel and Schumacher records / stats were banded around as a sign of their superiority and then all of a sudden it comes to a certain someone and the usual suspects are out to denounce any mere mention of it and anyone who does is immediately called the dreaded fanboy As someone said earlier in the thread which I think is befitting ( Hamilton ... grrr ... grrr ) You do n't need to state the obvious and preach to the choir about what we already know , that stats and records by them selves do not paint the real picture . Context and circumstances does paint a better picture but these get lost in translation or rather history after a period of time . Not all of it is lost though as drivers like Stirling Moss and Gilles V without a WDC as still revered in F1 history . They however stood the test of time and showcased their talent over a period of time . Max is good no doubt and as he has shown @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is too early to say , He needs to do this consistently and on a regular basis for him to be compared to Lewis . Now if Horner 's comments are to do with say the last 10/11 races Lewis has won 8 of those 11 races and staked his claim , yes some might say its the car but you will only find a handful of racers that won 8 out of 10 consecutive races . So on recent form he is there , over a career , he is also there . The same can be said of Max who has ironed out a lot of his errors and handily beaten his team mate in the last 12 months as well , but if you ask as of today to pick a driver out of the 2 for a championship campaign for your team starting today , I will definitely pick Lewis as he has stood the test of time , is driving well and has the talent , With Max yes he is good but the errors have not been totally ironed out , Austria could @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ well , his penalty in Monaco is not too far away . However if you were to ask to pick a driver for the next 5-6 years campaign , then definitely Max may have the edge as he can only get better and the thought of that is frightening . So if Horner 's comments is referring to the last 12 months , I still think Lewis edges it , over a career period , then Lewis 's stats speak for themselves , but for who is better overall , then Max has to bide his time , be consistent and in a few years we can start comparing . It is too early for that right now . For those referring to stats as meaningless , they should be weary as drivers like Senna , Schumacher and Vettel are also affected by these stats Except nobody is saying stats do n't matter anymore . They 're just not applicable to this debate . What Horner said about Max which has apparently had everyone reaching for the smelling salts is this : " As @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . " As the driver in the form of his life , arguably over the past 12 months , he 's been the best driver in the world . So in that context Hamilton 's career poles , wins and titles mean nothing . The best driver would n't spend the whole of his career in a Minardi . I never see the rationale for that argument.The cream does usually rise to the top team in F1 . The stat that says it all to me is Lewis being the only driver to have won at least one race every season he has driven . That includes at least one Mclaren dog . Several others were n't all that , and his first Mercedes was n't great either . your comments are more applicable to a debate on who is the G.O.A.T . rather than the actual topic here That will never happen . No team could find the money to employ both of them . It 's totally pointless people continually coming up with this nonsense . Ditto Alonso . If Mercedes made @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that they had to spend extra on their CFD set-up and therefore ca n't pay his replacement more than , say , ? 1 million ... I 'm pretty sure Mr. Wolff gets about ... 17 phone-calls from just current F1 drivers . Before lunchtime . Unless these guys are utter idiots and wasted all their money , they 're already set for life . They 'd jump on that chance without a second thought . His post was about Max ( or Alonso ) taking that Merc seat for the kind of money you mention in your post . He would n't . I think Alonso may well do in the scenario outlined above . I get the impression he would do anything to get the best car . Having said that , I ca n't see any feasible scenario where Mercedes would be able to plead poverty or resource reallocation and be taken seriously . They already have the biggest budget in F1 so their various departments are n't short on funds . I very much doubt finances would ever be a reason for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ comments , the Mercedes driver played down the comparisons but did pay credit to the Dutch driver following his charge through the field to take victory at the Austrian Grand Prix last time out . " I do n't compare myself to anybody . I do n't need to . I do n't really have a response to his Horner 's claims , " Hamilton said . " Ultimately every now and then someone needs certain attention . " I think Max has been doing a great job and it is really exciting to watch . I think the last race was fantastic . It will be really interesting to see how they go moving forward . " Bit of a stupid question to ask him tbh . What 's he supposed to say when someone asks him why another TP thinks they might have the best driver ? I do n't think his dig was necessary but I do despair at how some hacks always try to stir up controversy out of nothing Lewis competing at the sharp end of the grid race in race @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ since 2010 ) and maintains an incredible level of performance every single weekend , every single session . Max races in a bubble of his own , one which he is n't ever going to threaten the top two teams and is n't going to be threatened by anybody from behind ( not even his teammate who rarely finishes within three places of Max ) and maintains a good level of performance . But yes , Max is the one setting the world alight Fair point . I still think my point stands though , he is largely racing without pressure at every single race . From either inside his team or outside . I do n't think that 's true at all . He 's 3rd in the WDC , in a car which really should n't be challenging the Ferraris , in a team that is not known for having any great degree of patience with failure or even mediocrity , and carrying the flag for Honda after their abysmal recent history . You think there 's no pressure there ? I do n't see @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in easily the best car and does n't have to overdrive it to get results . He has the full support of his team and a team mate he knows he can comfortably beat . He 's experienced at winning both races and titles and probably knows that nothing bar an accident will likely derail his 6th title bid . What exactly does he have to feel any pressure about ? He 's probably got the lowest pulse rate of anybody on the grid . I agree that Hamilton maintains an exceptionally high level of performance for the most part . But that does n't mean that it 's impossible for another driver to have done better these last twelve months . And that 's all that Horner has been saying . Lewis competing at the sharp end of the grid race in race out since 2014 ( in a title fight every season since 2010 ) and maintains an incredible level of performance every single weekend , every single session . Max races in a bubble of his own , one which he is n't ever going @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to be threatened by anybody from behind ( not even his teammate who rarely finishes within three places of Max ) and maintains a good level of performance . But yes , Max is the one setting the world alight Point 1 : he wasnt in championship contention every year from 2010 . In 2011 and 2013 he wasnt . And has maintaind an incredible level every weekend every session ? Come on now .. brazil qualifying in 2017 or baku 2016 , Austria 2017 or Russia 2017 alone where not stellar performances from him wich is normal as Nobody is perfect every weekend . Actually Lewis said Average to Above Average . So yes . At this point , yes . As for Paddy Lowe 's quote do you honestly think Lewis is driving worse now ? If so : Did you actually read Hamilton 's own words ? Let 's first start with what Paddy Lowe said according to you : " When we get the car back from Lewis we know that everything that the car can deliver has been extracted @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ " Now , let 's see what Hamilton said about his first 6 races of 2019 : " I feel like I 've got the best I could get from the results . I 've arrived prepared , the best prepared I could be . But in terms of extracting the true performance from the car , I feel like I 've struggled a little bit in these six races . " Then let 's look at the past 12 months , alone . Oh wait , 8 wins last season and 6 wins this season . I wo n't even add poles and fastest laps . It surely can not be that hard to understand that a driver winning a race does not necessarily mean he was the best driver in the race when talking about a non-spec series ? He may have been , but it 's not an automatic given . Is this really such a difficult concept to grasp ? Do you feel that Hamilton would have had the same number of wins driving any other car over the same period @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ talent . They are not synonyms . Those words He said he arrived prepared , very prepared . He 's struggled with the car , not himself . See the difference . And why are you limiting this to 6 races and not the first 9 ?

It becomes more routine , expected even . I think the pressure angle is heavily overestimated . Max said that his Mexico win was the easiest race he ever had . When you 're in front you can go at your own pace and given how hard it is to overtake generally you do n't have that many high pressure moments , particularly if the guys behind you do n't have a car advantage . Ca n't believe there are 12 pages on this . Max has been mostly racing in no mans land with no pressure plus one great last race . I do n't think he 'd be quite so perfect in a title fight against Hamilton who has been there and done it many times . Boils down to a bit of marketing by Horner . I 'm a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that Max is the most talented driver on the grid currently . I think he could potentially beat either Hamilton or Vettel in the same car IF he can handle the pressure that comes with the title battle . youre a lewis supporter , but ive never seen you in any of the merc or bottas vs lewis threads . But I was told on this thread that Max never had " off " weekends ... surely he must be immune to set-up problems ? He never has . When he 's well ahead of his teammate , it 's because he 's getting the most out of the car . When he 's close to his teammate , it means the teammate has improved , but Max has gotten the most out of the car . When he 's behind his teammate , there have been some mysterious car problems that no one can quite put his finger on , but Max has gotten the most out of the car , anyway . So you can always conclude before the weekend starts that Max will @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 'll always be right . It 's incredible . He never has .

So you can always conclude before the weekend starts that Max will get the most out of his car , and you 'll always be right . It 's incredible . I know its meaningless but FP3 illustrated it well . If Gasly is his usual 7 tenths behind it looks like Max overperformed by splitting the Mercs . Considering the low rate of errors both Max and Lewis have it seems foolish to me to conclude under these circumstances that he is maximizing his car performance definitely more @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Bottas had a very good race today , on pace with Lewis . I do n't know which race did you watch . But he admitted in his post race interview that he had wear and his tyres dropped off at the end , hence the decision to turn down the engine . Considering he pitted after Lewis , had relatively clean air throughout the race , and did n't have to run in the dirty air of Sebastian for very long or even over take him , still a very disappointing performance . Bottas race pace was quite good . He could n't match Lewis , especially near the end of the stints but Lewis tyre management is much better . I 'm convinced that Valtteri has to set the car up for low fuel if he wants to compete with Lewis for qualifying , but then it affects him badly in race pace . Alternatively , and I think it was the case this weekend , he set his car for a good balance between quali and race and his quali suffered and while he was n't as quick as Lewis in the race @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ going to have his moments in every season when he beats Lewis over a weekend , but to do it over a season is another thing . When Lewis starts to figure out the car , he steps up another gear . But he 's definitely beatable any given weekend and this one could have gone the other way had Q1 not been red flagged and possibly Merc could n't have got his car out in time . Lewis already won WDC question is where he takes it . Tbh the sooner the better . Season has been one of the most boring and pales in comparison to seasons like 2014 , 2016 and 2018 . Maybe the even calender years are the better ones ? Hoping Ferrari get their act together next year with Leclerc making the season a lot more interesting . Will be great to see Lewis , Max and Leclerc battle for the title . I have a feel its going to be good year . Bottas needs to take points away from Lewis irregaedless of championship chance , also to stake a claim @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ bits for a glory run from Lead like Australia . So no , anyone thinking this was a good result and he was with Lewis is mad . He lacks Charles and Max killer spirit never just sitting back . Unless he sign a pure no2 role . Charles clipped Seb wings time and time again . Bottas is now not even 1.0 he s like 0.5 65 point lead with only 8 races to go , crazy . Can afford to finish P2 in every race from hereon and still win by 9 points . What he ca n't afford is too many DNFs so expecting him to play it smart . Such as not crashing in P3 ! There are 5 drivers that can win the remaining races , which makes it more difficult for Bottas , his closest competitor , to have anything more than a gambler 's chance at the championship . edit : I really can see why Lewis wants more cars competing with Merc . It actually makes it easier for him . It 's more difficult when the Merc is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ challenger with most races being decided by who gets to turn 1 first . But with more competitors , everyone is stealing points from each other so the most consistent driver has the advantage . 65 points lead ! Bottas needs to take points away from Lewis irregaedless of championship chance , also to stake a claim he can pass him ... not sitting back saving his bits for a glory run from Lead like Australia . So no , anyone thinking this was a good result and he was with Lewis is mad . He lacks Charles and Max killer spirit never just sitting back . Unless he sign a pure no2 role . Charles clipped Seb wings time and time again . Bottas is now not even 1.0 he s like 0.5 He knows this year 's done , no point denying that . Better just focus on next year . 65 point lead with only 8 races to go , crazy . Can afford to finish P2 in every race from hereon and still win by 9 points . What he ca n't @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it smart . Such as not crashing in P3 ! There are 5 drivers that can win the remaining races , which makes it more difficult for Bottas , his closest competitor , to have anything more than a gambler 's chance at the championship . Will be interesting to see how many races Mercedes is going to win , because I can see Ferrari winning in Monza and Max in Singapore . Btw anyone notice that Lewis had his usual cockup out of La Source at the start ? He HAD Seb given his mistake but then I think he had a rubbish exit so could n't capitalise in the run up the hill and Bottas was on his tail . Btw anyone notice that Lewis had his usual cockup out of La Source at the start ? He HAD Seb given his mistake but then I think he had a rubbish exit so could n't capitalise in the run up the hill and Bottas was on his tail . I thought this as well at first , but it was n't a cock up @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , so his exit was compromised . Quite sad to see many people come here just to mock Bottas . Shameful stuff . Yes , he was no match to Hamilton but he managed well and drove to podium . I have n't really seen any real mockery of Bottas tbh . You do n't even see Maverick posting that he 's been tonked . I think people are just responding to the hype partially built by himself at the start of the season of a Bottas 2.0 . Any mockery is probably more directed at that notion than at Bottas himself . For all the hype , this has probably been his worst season at Mercedes so it 's no surprise people are pointing this out in the drivers thread . Ofc the sneering might also have a cathartic element because for one race at the very start of the season when Lewis had car damage , only outqualified him by a tenth ( at a track he usually puts a few tenths on his teammate ) , and said he was struggling with the tyres @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to Lewis ' title aspirations , and we all had to endure coverage based solely on that . Btw anyone notice that Lewis had his usual cockup out of La Source at the start ? He HAD Seb given his mistake but then I think he had a rubbish exit so could n't capitalise in the run up the hill and Bottas was on his tail . Now that you point it out , I definitely notice that it 's been a trend throughout his career , almost like his China turn 15 ( ? ) line . Lool Give over . He was his same old " after holiday break " phase . I personally do n't think he goes well at this track anyway . not sure what his williams results were . Probably Marklar would know but Lewis had the pace over him fullstop . He still finished ahead of one Ferrari . Not forgetting the major ' concern ' in here from the most vocal anti-Bottas voices with regards Mercedes retaining him was that he 'd be all at sea and no @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Btw anyone notice that Lewis had his usual cockup out of La Source at the start ? He HAD Seb given his mistake but then I think he had a rubbish exit so could n't capitalise in the run up the hill and Bottas was on his tail . He could do nothing on lap 1 . It was the restart that he messed up . Vettel locked up in front of him and Hamilton deliberately backed off to try and give himself a better slingshot . He should 've kept it pinned . Just looking through the lap-times again , Mercedes were perhaps better served letting Vettel kill his tyres and fall back to Lewis , rather than chase him down . Hamilton exited the pits around 7s behind Leclerc , an almost identical gap after he had passed Vettel . But in-between all of that Hamilton at one stage was only 4s behind Leclerc . If he had looked after his tyres and let Vettel come to him , maintaining the 6-7s gap , he may have cleared Vettel easier and had more @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ through the lap-times again , Mercedes were perhaps better served letting Vettel kill his tyres and fall back to Lewis , rather than chase him down .

If he had looked after his tyres and let Vettel come to him , maintaining the 6-7s gap , he may have cleared Vettel easier and had more tyre life to go after Leclerc . Easy to say in hindsight . You know you give a big advantage away on saturday when you are not competitive enough to have a car on the front row . Ferrari could control the race and they did it very well with this as the result . Bottas had a very good race today , on pace with Lewis . I do n't know which race did you watch . Not really . Hamilton spend nearly all race behind Vettel 's gearbox . Whenever he had @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ race ) he pulled quickly away from Bottas and that despite stressing his tyres from fighting with Vettel . Ca n't say I really agree . Mercedes ( or Lewis ) generally has better wear than Ferrari due to more downforce , and this will give them an advantage just like we saw today . Parabolica , can be extremely difficult on the front right , particularly if you 're sliding more than your rivals due to a low drag concept . Last year we saw this with Kimi when he struggled with the tyres at the end of the stint , which allowed Lewis to pass him , despite Ferrari 's superior straightline speed . Also Ferrari may use the softest tyres better , or rather Mercedes used them less well , but the C2 is still the medium tire and there 's every chance it could be used during the race . Merc has also demonstrated excellent pace on the softs . I see many ways Ferrari could lose this , and I 'm also factoring in Hamilton . He 's a beast on this @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ driver ) where he makes up a lot of his time . I just rechecked the forecast and rain is predicted on the Friday and Sunday in the Monza region . Unless you have a more specific local forecast I 'll keep my mind open to the possibility . Forecasts are useless until mid-week anyway . I do n't disagree re : wear , but remember that HAM fought the slowest of the two Ferrari , and RAI mismanaged his tyres earlier in the stint by pushing too hard . Also do n't think you can compare the wear through Parabolica to the punishment through Sector 2 at Spa . Monza is effectively made of Spa 's Sectors 1 and 3 , and Ferrari had a definite advantage over Merc in today 's race there ( 2-4 tenths in S1 , 0-2 tenths in S3 ) . And that 's with Ferrari using a Spec 2 engine that has already done a handful of GP ! Imagine with a brand new engine ! Hamilton spend nearly all race behind Vettel 's gearbox . Whenever he @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of race ) he pulled quickly away from Bottas and that despite stressing his tyres from fighting with Vettel . Though it was better than usual , at least . You do know they told Bottas to go easy on his tyres when he catching up to Lewis . Also lets be honest Bottas was racing to delta . Even if he caught Lewis I very much doubt he will atempt to pass Lewis . He turned down his engine and brought the points home . Save the PU while you can no point pushing for the sake of it . Look what happened the last time he pushed at Hockenheim But make no mistake it Bottas gets pole and is leading you will see him push to the max . Just wish he will get back to his early season pole form . Bottas pole = win . He could do nothing on lap 1 . It was the restart that he messed up . Vettel locked up in front of him and Hamilton deliberately backed off to try and give himself a better slingshot . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ n't think there was a chance of Lewis staying/getting ahead in either situation . On Bottas winning another race this year - Sochi has got to be his best chance based on previous performance . But I think it will have to be a force of circumstance to make it happen this year . Hamilton losing time behind Verstappen or something . On Bottas winning another race this year - Sochi has got to be his best chance based on previous performance . But I think it will have to be a force of circumstance to make it happen this year . Hamilton losing time behind Verstappen or something . It depends on the other teams . Verstappen with that new engine will also be a force . Other teams are taking away wins at the moment . The team deserve some credit for the strategy again . When it looked like Vettel had the better strategy , the team held their nerve . The team has worked a long time with Hamilton . They know how to handle it by now , the recipe @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ calm him down , and meanwhile execute the strategies as they think best . They can count on Hamilton extracting close to the max from the car , which is all that matters . The radio is literally just noise . Bottas has to try n not only Beat Hamilton which is a talll order but he has to beat Max , keep Albon at bay and also contend with Charles who 's IMO has been better then Bottas all year and then contend to Seb eventual good race ... thats why i said he s not going to win another race as he s 100% not been as good as Lewis Charles and Max , been on par with Seb and now has Albon prob going ti be on par with if not better then him in a race more or 2 time .

Mercedes will be the best car at a few of these final races , if not more . All it takes is a Hamilton error or a great performance by Bottas and he 'll win . Personally I 'd be amazed if he did n't win in Russia this year . It 's been great watching Hamilton duke it out with the next gen future stars the last couple of races . The way he hounded Max and Leclerc right to the end of both races has been a joy to watch . The next couple of seasons could be quite something . Vettel just seems a shadow of his former self and is offering very little fight . I also think Bottas is done for this season , so Hamilton seems to be looking towards max and Leclerc to give him that motivation to keep pushing , as staying motivated with all the success he 's had must be getting harder and harder .

Reasoning
×
The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. It uses 'out of' in a different context, referring to the reason for drinking rather than causing or preventing an action. There is no causee involved, and it does not induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation.

The UK laws around limited liability companies mean you can indeed run two separate companies , and the mere fact of having the same directors does not mean the companies have any legal connection . Hence being able to do what you describe . ( I realise you 'll know this , pdac , but not everyone reading might ) . The only way I know of which could be used to address this is to prosecute the directors as " negligent directors " which is a criminal offence . You 'd have to prove criminal negligence to the detriment of one of the companies . For example , if someone bought expensive machinery , then deliberately ran the company into the ground , so that his second company could buy the assets for a pittance from the first , he could be prosecuted as a negligent director . As far as I know , it 's a rarely-used law . Perhaps it should be used more ! This whole RE saga is likely to leave a lot of people who can ill afford it out of pocket . We can all say that the distributors @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 'd make a quick buck etc , but when the owners of the comapny can swan off into the sunset with the entire bank roll and product ( I know for RE that 's very little ) perfectly legally you have to start to question ' how is this ok ? what can be done to stop this behaviour ? ' and that 's a bigger question than this thread . Will Storey and RE are far from unique and there is a small chance that in this case he has done something illegal , I 'm not clued up enough on the minutia of company law to see if any laws have been broken , except perhaps comtempt of court , but that not directly related to the dubious means of ditching debts and keeping a company going named as something else .

Come on now , do n't be playing the vegan purest card . RB is what it is because it taste damn good , it is a mix of a fine soda flavor like Guarana that we have here in Brazil plus the stimulants , and goes down well on the taste buds for the majority of people , is no wonder all the bars , bakeries , small markets carry this stuff is because most people can notice the difference and like it , just like Coke zero is the absolute king of zero calories sodas , it taste damn good for a diet drink . RB is the Apple of energy drinks , charging twice the price , why they are able to do that ?

I just like to give credit where credit is due , RB is a leader in this area , is one of the reasons why this huge multi billion dollars market of energy market exists , where over 25 years ago it did not .

It 's not far off what Coca-Cola was for a long time , but Coke at least made the syrup . But pre-WW2 the people making the most money out of Coke were three bottling companies in the southern US .

Is just marketing ! 2 things here : 1 : I 'm really not sure if you are serious ? You really need to go and do some research about how products become big when they are n't the ' best ' .

And while you are at it , why is it Googling and not DuckDuckGoing ? 2 : I do n't think you understand the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ work ' at the thing it claims to be so there is something more than just marketing , but for totally subjective products like food and drink there really is little more than a good advert . Red Bull makes something that can be drunk without making you want to vomit , therefore it is a drink , so it passes the ' does what it says on the tin ' test . But there is minimal skill in producing a drink , and how popular that drink is has NO impact on how it does in blind taste tests . There are so , so , so many research papers done on this exact topic . More people pick a cheap supermarket cola over Pepsi , and more pick Pepsi over Coca Cola , yet Coca Cola remains the number 1 coke brand in the world . People ask for a coke , meaning a cola , people Google rather than search , people hoover rather than vaccum , people sellotape rather than using sticky back plastic ... the list goes on and on . Well , I @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ j ? ger-bombs . Now , when we get to that we are pissed out of our minds already . So they could put any type of energy drink in the glass along with the precious J ? germeister . But they do n't . They use Red Bull . Because marketing . Yep . A bit like the coke example above . You ask for a coke and they 'll give you coca cola not pepsi . You ask for an energy drink without specifying and they 'll give you a Red Bull . You ask for a jagerbomb and it 'll have a Red Bull and will likely kill you . Minor exagerration only .

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. It lacks an NP object that functions as a causee and does not induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it uses 'out of' in a different context, referring to the reason for drinking rather than causing or preventing an action.

The UK laws around limited liability companies mean you can indeed run two separate companies , and the mere fact of having the same directors does not mean the companies have any legal connection . Hence being able to do what you describe . ( I realise you 'll know this , pdac , but not everyone reading might ) . The only way I know of which could be used to address this is to prosecute the directors as " negligent directors " which is a criminal offence . You 'd have to prove criminal negligence to the detriment of one of the companies . For example , if someone bought expensive machinery , then deliberately ran the company into the ground , so that his second company could buy the assets for a pittance from the first , he could be prosecuted as a negligent director . As far as I know , it 's a rarely-used law . Perhaps it should be used more ! This whole RE saga is likely to leave a lot of people who can ill afford it out of pocket . We can all say that the distributors @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 'd make a quick buck etc , but when the owners of the comapny can swan off into the sunset with the entire bank roll and product ( I know for RE that 's very little ) perfectly legally you have to start to question ' how is this ok ? what can be done to stop this behaviour ? ' and that 's a bigger question than this thread . Will Storey and RE are far from unique and there is a small chance that in this case he has done something illegal , I 'm not clued up enough on the minutia of company law to see if any laws have been broken , except perhaps comtempt of court , but that not directly related to the dubious means of ditching debts and keeping a company going named as something else . Is this exclusivity mentioned by Kualitas a new deal ? The sales through Amazon UK are all Kualitas and in stock . ' Bankruptcy ' stock they 've bought from BDG ( who are selling off the assets ) , or selling it as an @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Northern Marketing have been selling on Amazon under the banner of Kualitas for more than a year . Come on now , do n't be playing the vegan purest card . RB is what it is because it taste damn good , it is a mix of a fine soda flavor like Guarana that we have here in Brazil plus the stimulants , and goes down well on the taste buds for the majority of people , is no wonder all the bars , bakeries , small markets carry this stuff is because most people can notice the difference and like it , just like Coke zero is the absolute king of zero calories sodas , it taste damn good for a diet drink . RB is the Apple of energy drinks , charging twice the price , why they are able to do that ? Because RB is so cool and has man jumping from the ozone layer ? part of it yes , but mostly is because people enjoy the thing and it goes well for partying mixing with other drinks also . Now , I @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ but I am an amateur athlete who trains , competes in tournaments and work out everyday , And every now and then when I need a pick up a may drink a RB or Monster Kahos which I am enjoying more now .... is just like a spicier cup of coffee . Do n't get all purist now . Good for you , but as others have pointed out , you 're clearly projecting your view as fact . Nobody can argue with you with the fact that Red Bull is the King of Energy Drinks in terms of sales , but your reasons for this " it tastes damn good " is highly speculative and certainly without evidence . My opinion is that Red Bull does n't have a particularly outstanding " taste satisfaction " score amongst its consumers and the real reasons for its domination are based around recognition , image and implied benefit , driven by a massive market dominating media spend . I 've spend my entire career in the media industry and it has long ceased to surprise me that everyone thinks they @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ interesting that as an athlete you advocate RB when its well known that all the sponsored athletes of RB are regularly seen drinking out of RB branded drinking bottles ... with definitely no Red Bull in them .

I 've spend my entire career in the media industry and it has long ceased to surprise me that everyone thinks they are immune to marketing ! ! ! Call me weird , but I drink RB for the taste , and the taste alone . Been drinking it from before the F1 team ( or Sauber sponsorship ) came to be . And this is particularly annoying , because I can not stand their F1 operation .

I would explain why but I fear it might touch some sensitivities @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for RB if that is what some of you are implying , I do not do marketing for RB either lol , I just speak honestly , I use energy drinks very seldom as I said when I need a pick me up stimulant in a lazy day and need to train or something . I specially think is very bad to mix energy drinks with Alcohol for the night life . I just like to give credit where credit is due , RB is a leader in this area , is one of the reasons why this huge multi billion dollars market of energy market exists , where over 25 years ago it did not . And it has to do with competency in key areas product quality , marketing , branding , etc. all of it combined . I even mention that I do n't use it anymore , I have switched to Monster Khaos recently . I just do n't buy into conspiracy theories , That RB taste like crap to the majority of people actually ! that people are just masochist , they are tricked @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ shop around the world this evil product that you kill you because it is so manipulative . I am more of a fan of Occam 's razor logic , that its success its due to a variety of merits , taste reasonable good ( to most people that are into these drinks ) pioneer , solid marketing in this area , amazing brand positioning etc. and etc. hey call me biased if you like for not buying into conspiracy explanations of why they are hugely successful . Dude , they are successful because they advertise constantly , they own sports teams , they sponsor sports teams , they own sports venues , they own concert venues , they run sports events , they sponsor an absolute ton of sports stars across the planet . Their name and logo is almost inescapable now . RB is a marketing company whose product happens to be a drink . It 's no different to Google . Google 's core product happens to be a search engine . I really do n't think anyone is calling them evil ( @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ some conspiracy ( it 's just a drink ) , but to think they are huge for any other reason than marketing is so wide of the mark . RB 's only competitor is Monster , who as it happens are the only other energy drink that market to near RB levels . All the others , Hype , Burn etc etc do not market anywhere even 1% like the two main players and it is no coincidence they sell far far less . To bring this back around to being an RE discussion , William Storey therefore should at least be given credit for trying to market his drink on a clearly limited budget , and then try to make sales when he got that recognition . Any Brits reading this will be aware of the constant advertising of the People 's Postcode Lottery . They are a small player in the lottery market in comparison to the National Lottery , but are currently paying out a fortune to advertise constantly .

It wo n't happen because they have a superior offer , they do n't , the prizes are abysmal in comparison . They will become number one through marketing . You could stop it before the word " whose " . Red Bull 's product is the Red Bull brand . Unless things have changed recently , Red Bull do nothing but market . Someone else makes the syrup , someone else carbonates it , someone else cans it , someone else distributes it . All Red Bull does is to promise a vast marketing campaign to the companies that basically get a Red Bull licence to get the stuff into the shops . It 's not far off what Coca-Cola was for a long time , but Coke at least made the syrup . But pre-WW2 the people making the most money out of Coke were three bottling companies in the southern US . Coke eventually got control of the bottling/canning because of that .

It 's that it 's the marketing that puts them ahead in terms of sales , and they rely on the product being good enough to back up the marketing .

You ask for a jagerbomb and it 'll have a Red Bull and will likely kill you . Minor exagerration only . To try to compete against such ingrained product bias takes some serious effort and I guess Rich Energy gets a bit of credit fo rmanaging to run such an awesome ad campaign that it definitely raised brand awareness to a whole new level . It 's a shame all the fun seems to have ended . While it 's been good to discuss how naive people are when it comes to marketing and how it really does twist your mind ( and why my daughter only watches BBC cartoons or ones via an ad free app ) , I 'm struggling to find much more Rich Energy discussion ... come on ! Something more needs to happen on this saga . If this is it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . It 'll be like a powercut with just 10 mins left of a murder mystery ! Was n't August 1st the absolute deadline for RE and Whyte to sort everything out ? That was yesterday . There must be some more news . I agree in basis on all , but , from my memorie , Google hardly did advertising/sponsoring at start and still compared revenue is doing far less then other companies with same revenue if i remember correct . Google built and marketed the brand . I was an Altavista user in the old days ( and sometimes Yahoo too ) . Google was n't first out the box , but they pushed themselves into first place by doing the same as the rest , but pushing their name too . Oh , and one last word on marketing ... Once Google was the clear brand leader , Microsoft decided they wanted a slice . They aggressively marketed Bing . Result - I do n't know anyone who uses Bing . Once a brand like Red Bull has been established as the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ more than a foothold , no matter how much you spend on marketing . That 's the problem Rich Energy has/had . Google built and marketed the brand . I was an Altavista user in the old days ( and sometimes Yahoo too ) . Google was n't first out the box , but they pushed themselves into first place by doing the same as the rest , but pushing their name too . I ca n't remember big PR campaigns like for instance Nike or something like that . More their " in platform " PRis my feeling , but could be wrong . I think i started using it just because got better results . Still reason i use it , especial for images Google gives me far better and more results then the others . I had brought option RE had to handle possible on small budget . Still i ca n't have respect for chosen PR strategy .

You really need to go and do some research about how products become big when they are n't the ' best ' . Have you ever heard of BetaMax ? No ? Go and Google it . And while you are at it , why is it Googling and not DuckDuckGoing ? 2 : I do n't think you understand the word pretentious Of course a product needs to ' work ' at the thing it claims to be so there is something more than just marketing , but for totally subjective products like food and drink there really is little more than a good advert . Red Bull makes something that can be drunk without making you want to vomit , therefore it is a drink , so it passes the ' does what it says on the tin ' test . But there is minimal skill in producing a drink , and how popular that drink is has NO impact on how it does in blind @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ many research papers done on this exact topic . More people pick a cheap supermarket cola over Pepsi , and more pick Pepsi over Coca Cola , yet Coca Cola remains the number 1 coke brand in the world . People ask for a coke , meaning a cola , people Google rather than search , people hoover rather than vaccum , people sellotape rather than using sticky back plastic ... the list goes on and on . And NO-ONE says , I 'd like a Rich Energy please , in any context . Very pretentious again , pretentious to pretend to understand my and many others whole motivations and assume you are an expert as to why people buy certain products , to try to compartmentalize into a simpleton truth .

While it sounds like he was indeed very much in the wrong , in mitigation I will point out that in many cases when you have had a late handover and so are fast approaching an ATZ ( air traffic control zone ) for which you need permission to enter , and you can not get through to ATC , it can be a pretty stressful situation in congested airspace . If you do n't get the required permission in time you will need to start executing 360 degree turns in order to remain outside the boundary , which other pilots @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ IFR flights in the same area ) will not be expecting , so you have to keep a really good lookout and hope that you spot any conflicts . Stress can exhibit itself in several ways - and if it was true that the controller was having semi-social chats with other pilots she knew while telling this pilot to " stand by " , then I can see how that would be frustrating and induce anger in a person who is feeling stressed and ( dare I say it ? ) perhaps in a situation that was a bit over his head and so a little frightened as well - while trying not to show it to his passengers .

My role at work involves flying the company jet* in and out of the NYC area , and pretty much every flight of ours ends up having to adjust for some whirly-wanker thinking they own the skies . I wonder what it will take for them to finally realize that me getting out of their way is far more dangerous for me than for them to get out of my way . For me , my only options are to proceed forward , hoping the helicopter listens to ATC and stay out of my approach / departure path , or to abort the landing , and return to a traffic pattern in some of the busiest skies in the world . For them , its a gentle pulling back of the collective and just not moving for a little while , the only risk they face is their passengers getting all blustery ( As helicopter passenger in NYC are wont to do ) . *I am part of a 8-person Red Team , and since we 're all traveling at the same time to the same @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to travel as a unit in a light jet . Plus we 've audited the security of some airlines and aircraft manufacturers , and we are n't exactly thrilled at the prospect of climbing on to one of their planes , whereas our aircraft , we 've went through and audited the hell out of its electronics ( We acquired a retired version of our aircraft , identical in every way except for the serial numbers , and then attacked it with everything we had , working with the manufacturer to fix the bugs we found ) . Never heard of self clearance , but then I only had a glider license ( which has now expired , too busy with other stuff , sadly ) . We were taught to stay tf out of anything class C and D ( though some special local rules allowed limited use of certain parts of C surrounding the local airport , but only on request and clearance ) . There is no such thing as self-clearance regarding controlled airspace in the UK . You can clear yourself to take off or land at an *uncontrolled* , private runway ( there 's nobody to clear you anyway ! ) . No clearance is required for any aircraft to enter class " G " airspace . " A helicopter can hover , FFS " Looks like you are n't a pilot and are repeating some inaccurate and predjudiced myths about rotary operations . As I mentioned previously , in fact most GA helicopters have insufficient power to hover out of ground-effect unless lightly loaded , and entering a high-hover is in any case not recommended because of the risk of losing control due to vortex-ring effect ( settling with power ) . A high hover also eats fuel like crazy . You can however easily & safely slow to about 20 kts indicated airspeed , which on many days will give you close to zero ground @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Incidentally , the control used to slow down a helicopter is the cyclic ( " stick " ) , not the collective ( " handle " ) . Helicopters in the UK must follow the same regulations and get the same ATC clearances as fixed-wing , except that there are a few specifically designated routes that rotary aircraft are permitted to fly but fixed-wing may not - e.g. the London low-level helicopter corridor . Also the regulation that demands that pilots always maintain a position where it would be possible to land in a clear area in the event of an engine failure allows more latitude to helicopters , which can auto-rotate into in a much smaller space than a fixed-wing needs to carry out a glide landing . ( I joined at Weybridge while it was still British Waste O ' Space and was most perturbed to discover that our esteemed northern colleagues had somehow managed to be " Home Of " practically every aircraft in the RAF 's inventory since 1st April 1918 ... or at least , that is what @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that rich you use a chopper to ferry your family around the north ( I know both places mentioned are in the north , thanks to the KLF ) ... stomach the cost , and be polite to overworked , overstressed controllers . And do not break protocol and/or laws because you 're having a hissy fit . Costwise he got off light ... the CAA returning ( or not ) the license will be the big smack here . He 's obviously aware of his role outside of the aircraft , but he appears to have forgotten what his job description is when *inside* the aircraft . IFAIK ( And I 'm not a pilot ) ' ATC ' stands for ' Air Traffic Control ' and it 's their responsibility to manage the airspace they are responsible for . not his . This includes the timely delivery of ' service ' , with a focus on the safety of *all* airspace users , both passengers and crew , The ' C ' in ATC is Control @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ' of what 's going on in their ATZ , and as such are the only ones who *can* control the overall situation . Mr. self-important heli pilot seems to have forgotten it 's ATC 's job to control him , not the other way around . Frustrating it may be to a C-Suite mentality ( ego ? ) , but that 's the deal when you strap the aircraft on . As for the 550/Hour complaint , he should be familiar with the ' cost of doing business ' , and even I know the only thing that keeps a rotary-wing aircraft up in the air is money ..... what did this idiot expect ? Why choose to do something seriously expensive and then complain about the cost ! Plus , if his journey was that time-ciritical he should have allowed some wiggle room in his flight schedule : - ) Whilst writing this , I 've been thinking of a suitable phrase to express my opinion of him .

It is understood Mr Gardyne , when questioned by bosses , claimed the devices were secondhand and taken from residents ' homes as they were replaced by newer models , despite some devices appearing to have been advertised with a shelf life until 2029 . He has since gone on to set up his own business , I.G Electrical , carrying out domestic , commercial and industrial work around Dundee and Angus .

" Those are the kinds of issues in terms of scrutiny that we need to know . I raised the question in the first place because the public needs to know what is going on . " The Construction Services department where Mr Gardyne was employed has been at the centre of a major corporate fraud investigation after a contract to provide heat and smoke and carbon monoxide detectors was awarded without ever going out to tender .

" Given this has all been going on since May , it 's really frustrating . If it 's the case that employees have been hung out to dry , then this should not be going on for nine months . There needs to be a fairness to employees , as well as everyone .

My role at work involves flying the company jet* in and out of the NYC area , and pretty much every flight of ours ends up having to adjust for some whirly-wanker thinking they own the skies . I wonder what it will take for them to finally realize that me getting out of their way is far more dangerous for me than for them to get out of my way . For me , my only options are to proceed forward , hoping the helicopter listens to ATC and stay out of my approach / departure path , or to abort the landing , and return to a traffic pattern in some of the busiest skies in the world . For them , its a gentle pulling back of the collective and just not moving for a little while , the only risk they face is their passengers getting all blustery ( As helicopter passenger in NYC are wont to do ) . *I am part of a 8-person Red Team , and since we 're all traveling at the same time to the same @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to travel as a unit in a light jet . Plus we 've audited the security of some airlines and aircraft manufacturers , and we are n't exactly thrilled at the prospect of climbing on to one of their planes , whereas our aircraft , we 've went through and audited the hell out of its electronics ( We acquired a retired version of our aircraft , identical in every way except for the serial numbers , and then attacked it with everything we had , working with the manufacturer to fix the bugs we found ) . Never heard of self clearance , but then I only had a glider license ( which has now expired , too busy with other stuff , sadly ) . We were taught to stay tf out of anything class C and D ( though some special local rules allowed limited use of certain parts of C surrounding the local airport , but only on request and clearance ) . There is no such thing as self-clearance regarding controlled airspace in the UK . You can clear yourself to take off or land at an *uncontrolled* , private runway ( there 's nobody to clear you anyway ! ) . No clearance is required for any aircraft to enter class " G " airspace . " A helicopter can hover , FFS " Looks like you are n't a pilot and are repeating some inaccurate and predjudiced myths about rotary operations . As I mentioned previously , in fact most GA helicopters have insufficient power to hover out of ground-effect unless lightly loaded , and entering a high-hover is in any case not recommended because of the risk of losing control due to vortex-ring effect ( settling with power ) . A high hover also eats fuel like crazy . You can however easily & safely slow to about 20 kts indicated airspeed , which on many days will give you close to zero ground @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Incidentally , the control used to slow down a helicopter is the cyclic ( " stick " ) , not the collective ( " handle " ) . Helicopters in the UK must follow the same regulations and get the same ATC clearances as fixed-wing , except that there are a few specifically designated routes that rotary aircraft are permitted to fly but fixed-wing may not - e.g. the London low-level helicopter corridor . Also the regulation that demands that pilots always maintain a position where it would be possible to land in a clear area in the event of an engine failure allows more latitude to helicopters , which can auto-rotate into in a much smaller space than a fixed-wing needs to carry out a glide landing . ( I joined at Weybridge while it was still British Waste O ' Space and was most perturbed to discover that our esteemed northern colleagues had somehow managed to be " Home Of " practically every aircraft in the RAF 's inventory since 1st April 1918 ... or at least , that is what @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that rich you use a chopper to ferry your family around the north ( I know both places mentioned are in the north , thanks to the KLF ) ... stomach the cost , and be polite to overworked , overstressed controllers .

He 's obviously aware of his role outside of the aircraft , but he appears to have forgotten what his job description is when *inside* the aircraft . IFAIK ( And I 'm not a pilot ) ' ATC ' stands for ' Air Traffic Control ' and it 's their responsibility to manage the airspace they are responsible for . not his . This includes the timely delivery of ' service ' , with a focus on the safety of *all* airspace users , both passengers and crew , The ' C ' in ATC is Control @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ' of what 's going on in their ATZ , and as such are the only ones who *can* control the overall situation .

Frustrating it may be to a C-Suite mentality ( ego ? ) , but that 's the deal when you strap the aircraft on . As for the 550/Hour complaint , he should be familiar with the ' cost of doing business ' , and even I know the only thing that keeps a rotary-wing aircraft up in the air is money ..... what did this idiot expect ? Why choose to do something seriously expensive and then complain about the cost !

He has since gone on to set up his own business , I.G Electrical , carrying out domestic , commercial and industrial work around Dundee and Angus .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'lock them out of spotting those opportunities' involves an NP object 'them' and a gerund 'spotting', but the verb 'lock' does not clearly fit into the semantic categories of verbs that typically appear in the V1 slot of the construction. Additionally, the interpretation does not clearly align with either the movement/extraction or prevention interpretations characteristic of the transitive out of -ing construction.

We may be seeing the " Year of the Bear " ( my prediction for 2020 ) start very early , which is what I was projecting based on both the technicals and the deteriorating economic data . With ISM manufacturing out today and ISM non manufacturing and US NFP out next week there is plenty for the perma-bulls to worry about . Surely this ca n't be profit taking , as this would have occurred prior to the end of the year with traders and their companies seeking to lock in profits to fuel their bonuses .. ? Doubtless there will be the usual diet of " healthy correction " diatribes but I ca n't get with the rhetoric of a market fall being healthy in any way ( just a euphemism for clearing out the losers ) . Still it is very early days on US large caps but they are putting in a particularly bearish candle today ( if sustained ) , as is the Dax . Possible ending channel being posted on the Dax , after a lower high vs the ATH , also but @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Russell 2000 ( a momentum stocks index and therefore indicative for the main driver of the bull market ) and the Nikkei and the FTSE100 you see a clearer bearish set up as follows : The Russell 2000 posted a lower high than its ATH ( similarly to the Dax so far ) and is breaking out of a daily chart narrowing channel with NMD at the turn . A smaller 1-2 has been posted ( not marked on the chart below but easily visible ) , which would mean that a wave 3 has commenced , and the strength of the move so far supports this . Oscillators are heading down out of overbought suggesting there may be much more room for this bear move . The Nikkei has also posted a lower high wave 2 ( purple ) , note all of these markets have risen to the Fib 88% to post these lower high turns but in this case price has broken out of the daily channel and put in a failed retest of the channel and now is dropping away ( very bearish set @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and oscillators are heading down out of overbought . On the FTSE100 things are not yet as fully developed in this phase , similar to the Dax , although the Dax has dropped hard this morning after the Nikkei capitulation over night . On the FTSE we see another lower high wave 2 ( blue ) at the Fib 88% and importantly this is the second one as the previous high was also a wave 2 ( purple ) turn at the Fib 88% off the ATH . This puts the FTSE100 ahead of the other majors in terms of the bearish scenario . A smaller scale 1-2 is in progress ( not market up yet ) and if price breaks lower then this could confirm the prognosis for a bearish phase that could eventually be confirmed as a major bearish market turn ... Overall the signs are good for Bears but we must await US open and a likely relief rally first , which if it turns with a lower high on the US large caps will be more compelling for Bears and a good entry point @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ support zone and Gold/Silver have rallied strongly , the former approaching the previous high resistance zone . It will be important , I feel , to watch all these related markets to spot turn and breakout confirmations in correlation and as such high confidence points to trade . For the record I am Short the Dax and the FTSE100 and USDJPY and Long Gold/Silver . I will await that pull back relief rally on US large caps before considering any Shorts . think it could be , and the killing of some terrorist leader in the Middle East was just the kind of flimsy excuse the algos needed to start the ' cashing in ' process . More fear then than profit taking . Fear is a greater motivator than greed , which is why stock markets fall faster than they rise , and offer great opportunity for those whose bias for the never ending Fed put does not lock them out of spotting those opportunities until too late . Personally I do n't care too much what the short @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ sustained . At these valuation levels it really does take much to disrupt confidence in the Bull . However poor economic data ( the ISM Manufacturing release yesterday for instance ) is still not producing the impact one might expect . This speaks to extreme complacency that the Fed will always be there and the bull will run forever . Such complacency is the stuff of contrarian dreams ... Last week was a bearish week if we get another next week that will make breakouts across the board , Nikkei is already broken to the downside . So US NFP comes in off consensus but no one is posting saying " bad miss " because it does n't fit the never ending bull story ... Data release was in the red across the board . Should n't markets be tanking ? It is hard for perma bulls to change their bias , few it seems are swing traders . Of course the US is actually open yet so let 's see ... A few of things to note : @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ term channel and with significant NMD on most , maybe all , chart timeframes . The Russell 2000 has failed to break back into the daily channel 3 times now and is turning back down . Decent chance of a Bearish phase on stock indices after a red candle day on Friday post US NFP . With ISD manufacturing also turning more negative only ISM non manufacturing is hold this market up it seems , that and betting the farm on the consumer , not a bet I would be comfortable with ... At this point it is impossible to tell if this is the top of the market or a possible wave 3-4 retrace or yet another buy the dip in the never ending bull . For now it is sufficient to watch for a confirmation of a bearish phase and get Short if the opportunity presents . I am already Short off the top as the turn at the long term Dow upper channel line ( similar on S&P 500 ) was sufficient for a speculative Short @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the Charts : As mentioned , the Dow has turned yesterday right on its long term channel upper line and with a small overshoot on the daily chart nearer term channel line ( now back within both ) . This also occurred with strong NMD and a credible EWT count to a wave end ( could be end of the 5 could be end of 3 ( pink ) , which would suggest 1 more leg up ) . On the Dow 1H there is a nice bearish move that is currently shaping up as a small 1-5 down . If this completes with an A-B-C and a lower high then we at least have a wave C down to come and possible much more As I have suggested before , it is hard to spot turns in white space but only US large caps are in ATH territory . Much easier to spot counter trend moves . On the Dax , Russell 2000 and Nikkei we have seen strong retraces to possible wave 2 ( purple ) counter trend rallies to the Fib 88% area with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ seem to have broken daily channels and put in multiple failed retests before yesterdays move down . The Dax may be describing an ending channel with A-E count . All-in-all the signals are strong for at least a bearish phase , if not a bull end ( assessment on that will have to wait for more price action ) . Markets tend to turn down with a recession but the point the perma-bulls tend to omit in talking up the market is that recessions are always called many months after they have occurred and have little or nothing to do with GDP . So just as we can not tell if this is a top from price action and technicals we can not tell if this is a recession yet . Hindsight is a wonderful thing , if you want to catch the top then technical analysis is the only mechanism IMO , although many fundamentals traders like Soros and Druckenmiller are bearish too . You do n't have to catch the top of course as there will be a relief rally or two that will offer later opportunities @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ My current thinking on stocks ( as per my post above ) is that a bearish phase is more likely than not but the technicals are not clear on support for this being THE TOP . On his apple thread @cheviot suggested an unconventional wave 4 , I have seen this proposition elsewhere in EWT circles for the US large caps as well . Personally I avoid using these more esoteric set ups because they are rare and only truly visible after the fact . Using them in advance can mask a more simple solution in the opposite direction ( i.e. against the bias of the unconventional set up ) . It is important to be aware of your bias and guard against it clouding trading judgement . However the unconventional set up may yet be proven correct , we just do n't know yet . So that got me thinking about what we do know ( or can at least have some confidence of ) . If I look first at the Nasdaq long term chart , something I do from time to time to stay out of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ as follows : The first dot.com bubble produced a crash of over 80% and the current bull market had almost doubled that peak ! While the Tech is much better now I think a lot of the new entrants are in a similar position to the first dot.com hype companies in that they are over-funded by speculators , loss making and with an unproven business model . The traits of the first bubble were listing to exit , sound familiar ? The pre credit crunch rally did not push the Tech stocks like it did conventional stocks , probably due to the Dot.com bubble hangover . However the crash again produced a more than 80% drop but in the case of the Nasdaq this was just a wave 2 retrace prior to a massive rally . To me there is a clear wave 3-4 as well , which means , according to EWT , that the market is now in a final wave 5 . However EWT can not tell you when the wave will end ... We can say that all oscillators are over bought and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ all the indices at present , there is NMD on the daily chart . If history repeats ( or rhymes as some people like to say ... ) and another 80% plus drop occurs , well ... ! Looking at the Dow weekly and daily charts I am seeing the following : I retain the conventional wave 3-4 ( purple ) labeling on the weekly and the rally price action is not conventions so far but then again the rally from wave 4 ( pink ) to wave 3 ( purple ) is also unconventional . I have a provisional supporting trend line ( grey ) and the horizontal support at the wave 3 ( purple ) is also going to be important I feel . That very long term resistance trend line , which is the top of a long term channel , is providing resistance at the turn yesterday . For Wychoff Theory fans , this could be setting up as a so-called " Spring " which if it breaks below significant support would then be followed by Distribution and Throwback phases . This @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ trend change . I think the wave 3 ( purple ) level could be important for Wychoff theory . Things get interesting and more complex on the daily chart and produces 2 bearish scenarios as follows : The unconventional wave 4 set up would suggest that the current rally is a wave 5 of larger scale wave 5 . The EWT labeling is supporting of an end of bull turn , which is also supported by that LT channel top line . Oscillators and NMD also support a bearish move . I would need to see a break of both the wave 3 ( purple ) horizontal support and the daily chart channel line ( Dark blue ) to be more comfortable with this set up . Note that currently this potential Wychoff support zone is coincident with the MA200 and the MA50 is coincident with a shorter term supporting trend line ( light blue ) . The more conventional scenario ( from an EWT perspective ) is set out in the pink labeling such that the current top would be a wave 3 ( pink ) @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ indicated as the market puts in another 3-4 retrace correction . In this scenario the final wave 5 ( purple ) could still be contained within the LT channel , just occurring a little later . One additional aspect that is a bit murky is the COT data . Currently both the commercial and non commercials are in a balanced position with the non commercials marginally more bullish . This is not what would be expected at a major top but it does show that many traders are unconvinced by the never-ending bull story . In summary then I am minded to prefer the #2 scenario above where by we will see a shape correction , similar to those we have seen over the past year and a half or so and then a final rally , that may draw in the hold outs and push the COT data to a more contrarian level . This would then be in keeping with the end of 2019 wild forecast projections for more of the same in 2020 . However I will keep an eye on the #1 scenario and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ probability on these two . One thing I am convinced of is that either way a period of bearishness is indicated . I am Short off the top and turn on the Dow , Dax and Nikkei and stop protected with small exposure . I am looking for a short term 1-5 down followed by an A-B-C relief rally and then a strong bearish move next . I am Short off the top and turn on the Dow , Dax and Nikkei and stop protected with small exposure . I am looking for a short term 1-5 down followed by an A-B-C relief rally and then a strong bearish move next . I think that the Dow on an hourly did a B top/ ..... Low volume , not much interest , and was clearly a 3 wave bounce off the New Year low and the drop to 3180 overnight , which was B of B. In effect we have a 4 th wave triangle which has created the 5 th wave to 3284 or so . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ b wave . The October 1 2019 drop was c of B , we have now finished C of B .... Big B that is . This will create a drop to the low 2800/2900 . Catalysts to this will be disappointment with the trade deal .... Which is hocus pocus ..... difficult to enforce and the Chinese know it . Trump needs a deal at any cost .... So we ll retrace to where the market bounced when the Phase 1 was announced in the first place . Large cap stocks like Apple are o/bought and over priced .... end of ....... Every share portfolio in the US has Apple in it ..... Like Ford and GM 30 years ago . Tin gods that you worship at your peril . Why be bearish ? ? ? ? USA : Fed ... painted itself into a corner ..... Rates at 1.6% indicate a shrinking economy .... despite easy credit ... We have worrying signals that the USA is going nowhere fast . Therefore the stock market is over priced . It is an election year . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ have to start pricing in a Trump loss . ( even if it does nt go that way ) Government deficit . i was in the market in 1987 .... The US problems were 2 fold .... A booming trade deficit and a crippling government deficit . BOTH are still true . Who owns US debt ..... The Chinese ! ! ! The Us has exported their debt abroad .... Savings rates in the US are weaker than in 1987 other than 401K s , which are predicated on a bouyant stock market . If the stock market drops Trump will loose and he knows it . Feel good America wo nt feel so good any more . The likelihood is that commodities will drop ... Which will further exacerbate the drop in stocks . Copper is used for margin for example . I doubt Oil will stay up here and copper etc look wobbly . If the world economy was robust oil and copper etc would be considerably higher . I ve been told on this blog that shares are in a permanent bull market @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . One thing I am convinced of is that either way a period of bearishness is indicated . I like your analysis , but I see the opposite - there 's significantly more upside to come . The ' oversold ' indicators are nowhere near the dot.com levels and there 's too much at stake for a huge pullback . It might happen if Bernie Sanders becomes president though The ' oversold ' indicators are nowhere near the dot.com levels and there 's too much at stake for a huge pullback . I take it you were not around for the dot.com bubble . Nice to see that the hype is at the same magnitude as back then even if the oversold indicators are n't ( not that that is at all relevant ! ) , takes me back to my nostalgic years and is a nice additional contrarian indicator ... I ve been told on this blog that shares are @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ I can say to that . I concur , obvs . It is a truism of markets that you get maximum hype , blind greed and complacency at the end of a bull run . We certainly have that in spades now , except for the COT data , which bugs me ... Would like to see your analysis on a chart or too if you have time . There is no chance of that . The man is 78 , has had a heart attack recently while campaigning and by American standards is a communist ! Warren is more of a threat although the Dems will be hoping for Biden as he has the best chance against Trump . Dax may be leading the way just now with a nice 1-2 move and drop away . Looking for a lower low here . FTSE100 buy the dips boys came in , possibly on the mistaken view that the FTSE always moves inversely to GBPUSD ( clearly this is not the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Dow futures are also turning after a small scale 1-5 down and A-B-C back up , which is what I was tracking . Not confirmed yet , we need a lower low , bu a good sign for those of a Bearish persuasion right now . Plenty of other indices also showing similar like the Russell and Nikkei if you prefer ... Here 's something interesting concerning the Feds Repo operations , or as some are calling it QE4 . Seems to me like things are getting a bit desperate . Perhaps the Fed does actually get it ! Perhaps they fully understand that if the stock market craters then confidence will evaporate , a recession will kick in ( to the extent it has n't already ... ) and jobs will be lost . Given their mandate maybe they can justify their extraordinary actions as fulfilling that mandate rather than being bullied by Trump ? Who knows ? The only conclusions I can draw from all this are that the markets are not going up as a result of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ when it end it will be very very bad . As no one can call the top and the perma bulls have no idea what level the markets should reach , because the fundamentals do not support this market , it would not be wise to stay invested . There are , thankfully , lots of other markets to work on while this nonsense is resolved . For now the US large caps have failed to make a higher high on the 1H charts with short term 1H double tops on S&P500 and the Dow . Other markets remain resolutely below their ATHs . DJTA remains below its ATH ( for you Dow theory types ) and Apple is showing some signs of keeling over ... Does n't mean anything yet , not until we see a drop but progress on stocks is not the stuff of a big rocket to the moon just yet , until it is I remain prepared for a Bearish move . Even if Stocks do breakout I prefer other markets such as soft commodities for Long trading on the simple principle of buy @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to post Russell 2000 has hit an interesting point with US large caps just into fresh ATHs . Price has hit and rebounded back off the top of a daily narrowing channel just after the Fib 88% off the ATH . There is NMD on Daily and 1H charts and a credible 1-5 EWT labeling for the rally , that would be a wave C of wave C. Not conclusive until we see a small 1-5 down , A-B-C retrace and then a fast drop but an initial sequence may be in play on the 1H . One to watch . Sure , why not ... My posts are not about NOT being long , they are about keeping an eye on the potential end . Traders are only bearish or bullish in the moment if they are swing traders , it is the perma-bears and perma-bulls you want to watch out for , their bias has then by the short and curlies ... For sure I am long term bearish but not yet short term as it obviously has @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ markets in general rather than having to sweat a big reversal on stocks , that only works for day traders , which I am not . This way I get a good nights sleep not sweating over an overnight Asia crash and do n't have to sit glued to the screens all day ... Overnight bearishness in Asia is often where the first move comes . The Nikkei turned without putting in a higher high , you could call it a double top perhaps . The Dax did likewise , vs its ATH , and may also be tracing out an ending channel ( A-E ) . If correct then we should see a fairly swift test of lower channel lines and horizontal support . USDJPY has been sluggish about posting higher highs and turned down with the Nikkei . USD seems to be stuck at a key resistance point with some short term bearishness , we may see this break out into a rally if stocks plummet , even short term . Interestingly Gold/Silver has turned bearish short term but @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ stock drops or vice versa , especially is USD rallies hard . I have a strong scenario for Gold/Silver bear phase ( see separate thread ) . The bigger picture on the Hang Seng looks bearish long term with a potential Bull ending wave 5 back in early 2018 , followed up by a 1-2 ( pink ) and a second with a lower lower last night ( 1-2 blue ) , both turning at key Fib resistance zones and on NMD . If we see this sustained to a lower low then game on ! Finally Apple seems to have put in a short term double top ( not something I would usually credit but maybe " this time it is different ? " ) . I will be interested to see what happens on actual US opening and key will be a break back into the daily channel , which would set up an overshoot ( or fakeout ) . I am Short off the wave E turn and break lower . Let 's see if we get the customary complacent buy the dip rally @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Link to post So the Dax put in a new ATH and one could be forgiven for getting bullish , I did think about it for a nanosecond then saw the Dax promptly drop back below the previous ATH . Significant ? Could be if that was a double top . The FTSE remained bearish despite the US large cap and Dax fresh ATHs ( except for the Dow , hmm ... ) . The Hang Seng continued its bearish direction too , as did the Russell 2000 . The Nikkei put in a US large caps led rally but shopped short and reverses with the Dax . Smells like a breakdown of correlation perhaps . Late today even the might US large caps took a little tumble , nothing serious yet but landslides do start with a few pebbles ... As always it is not so much the candle action as where it occurs for me . The FTSE100 failed to make a higher high and so did the Nikkei and the tiny new ATH on the DAX solves a technical issue for me on the last major @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ The Nasdaq is perhaps the most interesting just now as it has spiked and rebounded back off a confluence of a daily upper channel line and a very long term resistance trend line . Not conclusive but compelling enough for a low exposure Short . In addition all of these markets have significant NMD at recent turns across multiple time frames and EWT lines up for rally ends . The Dax still has a potential ending channel in play . It is a truism that market tops happen without any bells tolling , that occurs much later . Usually the tops come in and turn on no negative news and lots of bullish sentiment , the bull just runs out of steam , and/or there just is n't anymore " good " news to drive it further and confidence wains sufficiently for the buyers to evaporate gently . Perhaps this such an event , perhaps it is just another correction before the madness begins again . Either way it is worth a cheeky Short with tight stops . Meant to add @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and rebounded back off it in a daily pin bar spike that is part of a current long term channel overshoot . If price falls back inside the channel and continues down this could mark the top for Google and with it the whole tech market . Again not yet conclusive but stocks are nothing if not sentimental and maybe 1500 is a psychological limit from a valuation POV . Valuation ? **26;4048;TOOLONG . After a turn at the upper channels the Dax has put in a small 1-5 bearish move and is now retracing back up . IF this bullish move turns without a higher high in an A-B-C wave form and drops to make a lower low vs the one just posted then a bearish phase is on . One to watch in for US open and possibly through to Asia overnight . Seems more like wishful thinking ( that along with hindsight are the two major components of ' technical ' analysis ) DJIA could fall about 2000 points and still be @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ There 's a far simpler way one could have benefited from the uptrend in equities that 's been in place since late December 2018 . Do you know what it is ? ( It would also have allowed you to ride out the downturns and take advantage of the long-term uptrend trend too . ) If we look at the Dax it is a different picture in that this index has put in a new ATH recently . IF that new ATH was the top then it is a double top , this is a credible trend change signal , if confirmed by a sharp fall away . If we look at the weekly chart there is a strong narrowing channel with a potential 1-5 form to the rally . If the deep bearish retrace is a Pennant then the rally end is around where price has already turned and with strong NMD on the weekly . On the 1H chart there is what could be an ending channel to the ATH that was broken and then retested . That retest failed , producing a 1-2 bearish wave after @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the dip spasms that have all failed to ignite so far . The bear move has not been the spectacular drop and spike on a buy the dip recovery that we have got used to but I do expect a relief rally after a further bearish move to kick off next week . If we then see an A-B-C form relief rally and turn at resistance a much bigger bearish move in a wave 3 or C can be anticipated . Quite a way to go yet before we can start calling the top and hear the Greta Bear roar and curiously , if I look at the US large caps I think we may even see another fresh ATH before the end ( see the SP500 charts below ) .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. The phrase 'lock them out of spotting those opportunities' involves a complex preposition 'out of' followed by a gerund phrase, but the verb 'lock' does not fit the semantic classes of verbs typically used in the transitive out of -ing construction, and the interpretation does not clearly align with either the movement/extraction or prevention interpretations. Additionally, the NP object 'them' does not clearly function as a causee in the event described by the VP2[-ing] predicate.

We may be seeing the " Year of the Bear " ( my prediction for 2020 ) start very early , which is what I was projecting based on both the technicals and the deteriorating economic data . With ISM manufacturing out today and ISM non manufacturing and US NFP out next week there is plenty for the perma-bulls to worry about . Surely this ca n't be profit taking , as this would have occurred prior to the end of the year with traders and their companies seeking to lock in profits to fuel their bonuses .. ? Doubtless there will be the usual diet of " healthy correction " diatribes but I ca n't get with the rhetoric of a market fall being healthy in any way ( just a euphemism for clearing out the losers ) . Still it is very early days on US large caps but they are putting in a particularly bearish candle today ( if sustained ) , as is the Dax . Possible ending channel being posted on the Dax , after a lower high vs the ATH , also but @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Russell 2000 ( a momentum stocks index and therefore indicative for the main driver of the bull market ) and the Nikkei and the FTSE100 you see a clearer bearish set up as follows : The Russell 2000 posted a lower high than its ATH ( similarly to the Dax so far ) and is breaking out of a daily chart narrowing channel with NMD at the turn . A smaller 1-2 has been posted ( not marked on the chart below but easily visible ) , which would mean that a wave 3 has commenced , and the strength of the move so far supports this . Oscillators are heading down out of overbought suggesting there may be much more room for this bear move . The Nikkei has also posted a lower high wave 2 ( purple ) , note all of these markets have risen to the Fib 88% to post these lower high turns but in this case price has broken out of the daily channel and put in a failed retest of the channel and now is dropping away ( very bearish set @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and oscillators are heading down out of overbought . On the FTSE100 things are not yet as fully developed in this phase , similar to the Dax , although the Dax has dropped hard this morning after the Nikkei capitulation over night . On the FTSE we see another lower high wave 2 ( blue ) at the Fib 88% and importantly this is the second one as the previous high was also a wave 2 ( purple ) turn at the Fib 88% off the ATH . This puts the FTSE100 ahead of the other majors in terms of the bearish scenario . A smaller scale 1-2 is in progress ( not market up yet ) and if price breaks lower then this could confirm the prognosis for a bearish phase that could eventually be confirmed as a major bearish market turn ... Overall the signs are good for Bears but we must await US open and a likely relief rally first , which if it turns with a lower high on the US large caps will be more compelling for Bears and a good entry point @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ support zone and Gold/Silver have rallied strongly , the former approaching the previous high resistance zone . It will be important , I feel , to watch all these related markets to spot turn and breakout confirmations in correlation and as such high confidence points to trade . For the record I am Short the Dax and the FTSE100 and USDJPY and Long Gold/Silver . I will await that pull back relief rally on US large caps before considering any Shorts . think it could be , and the killing of some terrorist leader in the Middle East was just the kind of flimsy excuse the algos needed to start the ' cashing in ' process . More fear then than profit taking . Fear is a greater motivator than greed , which is why stock markets fall faster than they rise , and offer great opportunity for those whose bias for the never ending Fed put does not lock them out of spotting those opportunities until too late . Personally I do n't care too much what the short @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ sustained . At these valuation levels it really does take much to disrupt confidence in the Bull . However poor economic data ( the ISM Manufacturing release yesterday for instance ) is still not producing the impact one might expect . This speaks to extreme complacency that the Fed will always be there and the bull will run forever . Such complacency is the stuff of contrarian dreams ... Last week was a bearish week if we get another next week that will make breakouts across the board , Nikkei is already broken to the downside . So US NFP comes in off consensus but no one is posting saying " bad miss " because it does n't fit the never ending bull story ... Data release was in the red across the board . Should n't markets be tanking ? It is hard for perma bulls to change their bias , few it seems are swing traders . Of course the US is actually open yet so let 's see ... A few of things to note : @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ term channel and with significant NMD on most , maybe all , chart timeframes . The Russell 2000 has failed to break back into the daily channel 3 times now and is turning back down . Decent chance of a Bearish phase on stock indices after a red candle day on Friday post US NFP . With ISD manufacturing also turning more negative only ISM non manufacturing is hold this market up it seems , that and betting the farm on the consumer , not a bet I would be comfortable with ... At this point it is impossible to tell if this is the top of the market or a possible wave 3-4 retrace or yet another buy the dip in the never ending bull . For now it is sufficient to watch for a confirmation of a bearish phase and get Short if the opportunity presents . I am already Short off the top as the turn at the long term Dow upper channel line ( similar on S&P 500 ) was sufficient for a speculative Short @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the Charts : As mentioned , the Dow has turned yesterday right on its long term channel upper line and with a small overshoot on the daily chart nearer term channel line ( now back within both ) . This also occurred with strong NMD and a credible EWT count to a wave end ( could be end of the 5 could be end of 3 ( pink ) , which would suggest 1 more leg up ) . On the Dow 1H there is a nice bearish move that is currently shaping up as a small 1-5 down . If this completes with an A-B-C and a lower high then we at least have a wave C down to come and possible much more As I have suggested before , it is hard to spot turns in white space but only US large caps are in ATH territory . Much easier to spot counter trend moves . On the Dax , Russell 2000 and Nikkei we have seen strong retraces to possible wave 2 ( purple ) counter trend rallies to the Fib 88% area with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ seem to have broken daily channels and put in multiple failed retests before yesterdays move down . The Dax may be describing an ending channel with A-E count . All-in-all the signals are strong for at least a bearish phase , if not a bull end ( assessment on that will have to wait for more price action ) . Markets tend to turn down with a recession but the point the perma-bulls tend to omit in talking up the market is that recessions are always called many months after they have occurred and have little or nothing to do with GDP . So just as we can not tell if this is a top from price action and technicals we can not tell if this is a recession yet . Hindsight is a wonderful thing , if you want to catch the top then technical analysis is the only mechanism IMO , although many fundamentals traders like Soros and Druckenmiller are bearish too . You do n't have to catch the top of course as there will be a relief rally or two that will offer later opportunities @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ My current thinking on stocks ( as per my post above ) is that a bearish phase is more likely than not but the technicals are not clear on support for this being THE TOP . On his apple thread @cheviot suggested an unconventional wave 4 , I have seen this proposition elsewhere in EWT circles for the US large caps as well . Personally I avoid using these more esoteric set ups because they are rare and only truly visible after the fact . Using them in advance can mask a more simple solution in the opposite direction ( i.e. against the bias of the unconventional set up ) . It is important to be aware of your bias and guard against it clouding trading judgement . However the unconventional set up may yet be proven correct , we just do n't know yet . So that got me thinking about what we do know ( or can at least have some confidence of ) . If I look first at the Nasdaq long term chart , something I do from time to time to stay out of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ as follows : The first dot.com bubble produced a crash of over 80% and the current bull market had almost doubled that peak ! While the Tech is much better now I think a lot of the new entrants are in a similar position to the first dot.com hype companies in that they are over-funded by speculators , loss making and with an unproven business model . The traits of the first bubble were listing to exit , sound familiar ? The pre credit crunch rally did not push the Tech stocks like it did conventional stocks , probably due to the Dot.com bubble hangover . However the crash again produced a more than 80% drop but in the case of the Nasdaq this was just a wave 2 retrace prior to a massive rally . To me there is a clear wave 3-4 as well , which means , according to EWT , that the market is now in a final wave 5 . However EWT can not tell you when the wave will end ... We can say that all oscillators are over bought and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ all the indices at present , there is NMD on the daily chart . If history repeats ( or rhymes as some people like to say ... ) and another 80% plus drop occurs , well ... ! Looking at the Dow weekly and daily charts I am seeing the following : I retain the conventional wave 3-4 ( purple ) labeling on the weekly and the rally price action is not conventions so far but then again the rally from wave 4 ( pink ) to wave 3 ( purple ) is also unconventional . I have a provisional supporting trend line ( grey ) and the horizontal support at the wave 3 ( purple ) is also going to be important I feel . That very long term resistance trend line , which is the top of a long term channel , is providing resistance at the turn yesterday . For Wychoff Theory fans , this could be setting up as a so-called " Spring " which if it breaks below significant support would then be followed by Distribution and Throwback phases . This @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ trend change . I think the wave 3 ( purple ) level could be important for Wychoff theory . Things get interesting and more complex on the daily chart and produces 2 bearish scenarios as follows : The unconventional wave 4 set up would suggest that the current rally is a wave 5 of larger scale wave 5 . The EWT labeling is supporting of an end of bull turn , which is also supported by that LT channel top line . Oscillators and NMD also support a bearish move . I would need to see a break of both the wave 3 ( purple ) horizontal support and the daily chart channel line ( Dark blue ) to be more comfortable with this set up . Note that currently this potential Wychoff support zone is coincident with the MA200 and the MA50 is coincident with a shorter term supporting trend line ( light blue ) . The more conventional scenario ( from an EWT perspective ) is set out in the pink labeling such that the current top would be a wave 3 ( pink ) @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ indicated as the market puts in another 3-4 retrace correction . In this scenario the final wave 5 ( purple ) could still be contained within the LT channel , just occurring a little later . One additional aspect that is a bit murky is the COT data . Currently both the commercial and non commercials are in a balanced position with the non commercials marginally more bullish . This is not what would be expected at a major top but it does show that many traders are unconvinced by the never-ending bull story . In summary then I am minded to prefer the #2 scenario above where by we will see a shape correction , similar to those we have seen over the past year and a half or so and then a final rally , that may draw in the hold outs and push the COT data to a more contrarian level . This would then be in keeping with the end of 2019 wild forecast projections for more of the same in 2020 . However I will keep an eye on the #1 scenario and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ probability on these two . One thing I am convinced of is that either way a period of bearishness is indicated . I am Short off the top and turn on the Dow , Dax and Nikkei and stop protected with small exposure . I am looking for a short term 1-5 down followed by an A-B-C relief rally and then a strong bearish move next . I am Short off the top and turn on the Dow , Dax and Nikkei and stop protected with small exposure . I am looking for a short term 1-5 down followed by an A-B-C relief rally and then a strong bearish move next . I think that the Dow on an hourly did a B top/ ..... Low volume , not much interest , and was clearly a 3 wave bounce off the New Year low and the drop to 3180 overnight , which was B of B. In effect we have a 4 th wave triangle which has created the 5 th wave to 3284 or so . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ b wave . The October 1 2019 drop was c of B , we have now finished C of B .... Big B that is . This will create a drop to the low 2800/2900 . Catalysts to this will be disappointment with the trade deal .... Which is hocus pocus ..... difficult to enforce and the Chinese know it . Trump needs a deal at any cost .... So we ll retrace to where the market bounced when the Phase 1 was announced in the first place . Large cap stocks like Apple are o/bought and over priced .... end of ....... Every share portfolio in the US has Apple in it ..... Like Ford and GM 30 years ago . Tin gods that you worship at your peril . Why be bearish ? ? ? ? USA : Fed ... painted itself into a corner ..... Rates at 1.6% indicate a shrinking economy .... despite easy credit ... We have worrying signals that the USA is going nowhere fast . Therefore the stock market is over priced . It is an election year . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ have to start pricing in a Trump loss . ( even if it does nt go that way ) Government deficit . i was in the market in 1987 .... The US problems were 2 fold .... A booming trade deficit and a crippling government deficit . BOTH are still true . Who owns US debt ..... The Chinese ! ! ! The Us has exported their debt abroad .... Savings rates in the US are weaker than in 1987 other than 401K s , which are predicated on a bouyant stock market . If the stock market drops Trump will loose and he knows it . Feel good America wo nt feel so good any more . The likelihood is that commodities will drop ... Which will further exacerbate the drop in stocks . Copper is used for margin for example . I doubt Oil will stay up here and copper etc look wobbly . If the world economy was robust oil and copper etc would be considerably higher . I ve been told on this blog that shares are in a permanent bull market @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . One thing I am convinced of is that either way a period of bearishness is indicated . I like your analysis , but I see the opposite - there 's significantly more upside to come . The ' oversold ' indicators are nowhere near the dot.com levels and there 's too much at stake for a huge pullback . It might happen if Bernie Sanders becomes president though The ' oversold ' indicators are nowhere near the dot.com levels and there 's too much at stake for a huge pullback . I take it you were not around for the dot.com bubble . Nice to see that the hype is at the same magnitude as back then even if the oversold indicators are n't ( not that that is at all relevant ! ) , takes me back to my nostalgic years and is a nice additional contrarian indicator ... I ve been told on this blog that shares are @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ I can say to that . I concur , obvs . It is a truism of markets that you get maximum hype , blind greed and complacency at the end of a bull run . We certainly have that in spades now , except for the COT data , which bugs me ... Would like to see your analysis on a chart or too if you have time . There is no chance of that . The man is 78 , has had a heart attack recently while campaigning and by American standards is a communist ! Warren is more of a threat although the Dems will be hoping for Biden as he has the best chance against Trump . Dax may be leading the way just now with a nice 1-2 move and drop away . Looking for a lower low here . FTSE100 buy the dips boys came in , possibly on the mistaken view that the FTSE always moves inversely to GBPUSD ( clearly this is not the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Dow futures are also turning after a small scale 1-5 down and A-B-C back up , which is what I was tracking . Not confirmed yet , we need a lower low , bu a good sign for those of a Bearish persuasion right now . Plenty of other indices also showing similar like the Russell and Nikkei if you prefer ... Here 's something interesting concerning the Feds Repo operations , or as some are calling it QE4 . Seems to me like things are getting a bit desperate . Perhaps the Fed does actually get it ! Perhaps they fully understand that if the stock market craters then confidence will evaporate , a recession will kick in ( to the extent it has n't already ... ) and jobs will be lost . Given their mandate maybe they can justify their extraordinary actions as fulfilling that mandate rather than being bullied by Trump ? Who knows ? The only conclusions I can draw from all this are that the markets are not going up as a result of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ when it end it will be very very bad . As no one can call the top and the perma bulls have no idea what level the markets should reach , because the fundamentals do not support this market , it would not be wise to stay invested . There are , thankfully , lots of other markets to work on while this nonsense is resolved . For now the US large caps have failed to make a higher high on the 1H charts with short term 1H double tops on S&P500 and the Dow . Other markets remain resolutely below their ATHs . DJTA remains below its ATH ( for you Dow theory types ) and Apple is showing some signs of keeling over ... Does n't mean anything yet , not until we see a drop but progress on stocks is not the stuff of a big rocket to the moon just yet , until it is I remain prepared for a Bearish move . Even if Stocks do breakout I prefer other markets such as soft commodities for Long trading on the simple principle of buy @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to post Russell 2000 has hit an interesting point with US large caps just into fresh ATHs . Price has hit and rebounded back off the top of a daily narrowing channel just after the Fib 88% off the ATH . There is NMD on Daily and 1H charts and a credible 1-5 EWT labeling for the rally , that would be a wave C of wave C. Not conclusive until we see a small 1-5 down , A-B-C retrace and then a fast drop but an initial sequence may be in play on the 1H . One to watch . Sure , why not ... My posts are not about NOT being long , they are about keeping an eye on the potential end . Traders are only bearish or bullish in the moment if they are swing traders , it is the perma-bears and perma-bulls you want to watch out for , their bias has then by the short and curlies ... For sure I am long term bearish but not yet short term as it obviously has @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ markets in general rather than having to sweat a big reversal on stocks , that only works for day traders , which I am not . This way I get a good nights sleep not sweating over an overnight Asia crash and do n't have to sit glued to the screens all day ... Overnight bearishness in Asia is often where the first move comes . The Nikkei turned without putting in a higher high , you could call it a double top perhaps . The Dax did likewise , vs its ATH , and may also be tracing out an ending channel ( A-E ) . If correct then we should see a fairly swift test of lower channel lines and horizontal support . USDJPY has been sluggish about posting higher highs and turned down with the Nikkei . USD seems to be stuck at a key resistance point with some short term bearishness , we may see this break out into a rally if stocks plummet , even short term . Interestingly Gold/Silver has turned bearish short term but @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ stock drops or vice versa , especially is USD rallies hard . I have a strong scenario for Gold/Silver bear phase ( see separate thread ) . The bigger picture on the Hang Seng looks bearish long term with a potential Bull ending wave 5 back in early 2018 , followed up by a 1-2 ( pink ) and a second with a lower lower last night ( 1-2 blue ) , both turning at key Fib resistance zones and on NMD . If we see this sustained to a lower low then game on ! Finally Apple seems to have put in a short term double top ( not something I would usually credit but maybe " this time it is different ? " ) . I will be interested to see what happens on actual US opening and key will be a break back into the daily channel , which would set up an overshoot ( or fakeout ) . I am Short off the wave E turn and break lower . Let 's see if we get the customary complacent buy the dip rally @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Link to post So the Dax put in a new ATH and one could be forgiven for getting bullish , I did think about it for a nanosecond then saw the Dax promptly drop back below the previous ATH . Significant ? Could be if that was a double top . The FTSE remained bearish despite the US large cap and Dax fresh ATHs ( except for the Dow , hmm ... ) . The Hang Seng continued its bearish direction too , as did the Russell 2000 . The Nikkei put in a US large caps led rally but shopped short and reverses with the Dax . Smells like a breakdown of correlation perhaps . Late today even the might US large caps took a little tumble , nothing serious yet but landslides do start with a few pebbles ... As always it is not so much the candle action as where it occurs for me . The FTSE100 failed to make a higher high and so did the Nikkei and the tiny new ATH on the DAX solves a technical issue for me on the last major @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ The Nasdaq is perhaps the most interesting just now as it has spiked and rebounded back off a confluence of a daily upper channel line and a very long term resistance trend line . Not conclusive but compelling enough for a low exposure Short . In addition all of these markets have significant NMD at recent turns across multiple time frames and EWT lines up for rally ends . The Dax still has a potential ending channel in play . It is a truism that market tops happen without any bells tolling , that occurs much later . Usually the tops come in and turn on no negative news and lots of bullish sentiment , the bull just runs out of steam , and/or there just is n't anymore " good " news to drive it further and confidence wains sufficiently for the buyers to evaporate gently . Perhaps this such an event , perhaps it is just another correction before the madness begins again . Either way it is worth a cheeky Short with tight stops . Meant to add @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and rebounded back off it in a daily pin bar spike that is part of a current long term channel overshoot . If price falls back inside the channel and continues down this could mark the top for Google and with it the whole tech market . Again not yet conclusive but stocks are nothing if not sentimental and maybe 1500 is a psychological limit from a valuation POV . Valuation ? **26;4048;TOOLONG . After a turn at the upper channels the Dax has put in a small 1-5 bearish move and is now retracing back up . IF this bullish move turns without a higher high in an A-B-C wave form and drops to make a lower low vs the one just posted then a bearish phase is on . One to watch in for US open and possibly through to Asia overnight . Seems more like wishful thinking ( that along with hindsight are the two major components of ' technical ' analysis ) DJIA could fall about 2000 points and still be @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ There 's a far simpler way one could have benefited from the uptrend in equities that 's been in place since late December 2018 . Do you know what it is ? ( It would also have allowed you to ride out the downturns and take advantage of the long-term uptrend trend too . ) If we look at the Dax it is a different picture in that this index has put in a new ATH recently . IF that new ATH was the top then it is a double top , this is a credible trend change signal , if confirmed by a sharp fall away . If we look at the weekly chart there is a strong narrowing channel with a potential 1-5 form to the rally . If the deep bearish retrace is a Pennant then the rally end is around where price has already turned and with strong NMD on the weekly . On the 1H chart there is what could be an ending channel to the ATH that was broken and then retested . That retest failed , producing a 1-2 bearish wave after @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the dip spasms that have all failed to ignite so far . The bear move has not been the spectacular drop and spike on a buy the dip recovery that we have got used to but I do expect a relief rally after a further bearish move to kick off next week . If we then see an A-B-C form relief rally and turn at resistance a much bigger bearish move in a wave 3 or C can be anticipated . Quite a way to go yet before we can start calling the top and hear the Greta Bear roar and curiously , if I look at the US large caps I think we may even see another fresh ATH before the end ( see the SP500 charts below ) .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). It mentions 'have not opted out of attacking Western personnel', but 'opted out of' does not involve a V1 that fits the means categories described (deception, force, fear, etc.), nor does it clearly induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. The context is more about a decision not to withdraw from an action rather than causing or preventing an action through specific means.

The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate ('We have been priced out of making a move for Craig Wighton'). It implies a prevention interpretation, where the subject 'We' has been prevented from 'making a move for Craig Wighton' due to being 'priced out'. The verb 'priced' fits into the category of verbs that achieve a goal by specific means (e.g., financial means). The NP object is implied (the team or management) and functions as a causee in the event described by the VP2[-ing] predicate. Therefore, this is an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

Manager James McPake has confirmed that Dundee have been " priced out " of a move for Craig Wighton . The Dark Blues were keen to take their former player back on loan from Hearts . Wighton , of course , went down in club folklore when he scored the winning goal against Dundee United in the so-called Doon Derby in 2016 . The Dundonian would have been a popular signing but the Dens men have decided they ca n't meet the Jam Tarts ' financial demands . McPake said : " We have been priced out of making a move for Craig Wighton . " Hearts ' demands were too high for us . " The Dundee gaffer also confirmed that he wants to sign Ayr United wide man Alan Forrest . The brother of Celtic star James , Forrest has been in talks with the Dens club .

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, it uses 'opt out of gambling', where 'gambling' is a noun, not a VP[-ing] predicate. Additionally, there is no NP object that functions as a causee, and the sentence does not induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation.

The Gambling Commission has announced a ban on allowing consumers in Great Britain to use credit cards to gamble . The ban , which comes into effect on 14 April , follows the Commission 's review of online gambling and the Government 's Review of Gaming Machines and Social Responsibility Measures . A public consultation was carried out between August and November 2019 . 24 million adults in Great Britain gamble , with 10.5 million of those gambling online . UK Finance estimate that 800,000 consumers use credit cards to gamble . Separate research undertaken by the Commission shows that 22% of online gamblers using credit cards to gamble are classed as problem gamblers -- with even more at some risk of harm . The ban , which will apply to all online and offline gambling products with the exception of non-remote lotteries , will provide a significant layer of additional protection to vulnerable people . Neil McArthur , Gambling Commission chief executive , said : " Credit card gambling can lead to significant financial harm . The ban that we @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ consumers from gambling with money they do not have . " Research shows that 22% of online gamblers using credit cards are problem gamblers , with even more suffering some form of gambling harm . ' " We also know that there are examples of consumers who have accumulated tens of thousands of pounds of debt through gambling because of credit card availability . There is also evidence that the fees charged by credit cards can exacerbate the situation because the consumer can try to chase losses to a greater extent . " Mr McArthur said although he understood that some consumers used credit cards because they were convenient , the risk of harm to others was too high to allow the use of credit cards to continue . " We realise that this change will inconvenience those consumers who use credit cards responsibly but we are satisfied that reducing the risk of harm to other consumers means that action must be taken . " he said . " But we will evaluate the ban and watch closely for any unintended circumstances for consumers . " @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Related Articles Mr McArthur warned that although likely to reduce gambling harm , the banning of credit cards needed to be accompanied by other efforts . " The ban is part of our ongoing work to reduce gambling harm . We also need to continue the work we have been doing with gambling operators and the finance industry to ensure consumers only gamble with money they can afford to spend . " Last year Department for Digital , Culture , Media and Sport ( DCMS ) ministers also met with banks and gambling operators to discuss their growing concerns , and how companies could use technology and customer data to help those at risk of developing gambling problems , including those using credit cards . Culture Minister Helen Whately said : " Whilst millions gamble responsibly , I have also met people whose lives have been turned upside down by gambling addiction . " There is clear evidence of harm from consumers betting with money they do not have , so it is absolutely right that we act decisively to protect them . " In the past year we have introduced a wave of tougher measures , including cutting the maximum stake on fixed odds betting terminals , bringing in tighter age and identity checks for online gambling and expanding national specialist support through the NHS Long Term Plan . We have also secured a series of commitments from five leading gambling operators that will include ? 100 million funding towards treatment for problem gamblers . " But there is more to do . We will be carrying out a review of the Gambling Act to ensure it is fit for the digital age and we will be launching a new nationwide addiction strategy in 2020 . " We will not hesitate to take any further action necessary to protect people from gambling harm . " Today has also seen the Commission announce changes to licence conditions which will require all online gambling operators to participate in the GAMSTOP scheme and offer their customers the service from 31 March . Neil McArthur said : " We welcome the fact that GAMSTOP have got to this stage in their @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , particularly in relation to preventing those who have self-excluded being targeted by direct marketing . " It is important that self-exclusion schemes are as effective as possible and they will be most effective when used in combination with other blocking tools such as gambling blocking software and payment card blocking . Helen Whately added : " We have been clear to all businesses that have connections to gambling , such as operators , social media platforms and banks , that they must be socially responsible and use the power of technology and data to help consumers manage their spending and protect them from harm . " I have been encouraged by the majority of major high street banks introducing measures to allow customers to switch off spending on gambling through mobile apps . " By making it a regulatory requirement for all online gambling websites licensed in Great Britain to sign up to Gamstop .

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, 'pulled out of attending' is a phrasal verb where 'out of' is part of the verb phrase, not introducing a VP[-ing] predicate with a causee object. There is no NP object functioning as a causee, and the interpretation does not align with either the movement/extraction or prevention interpretations characteristic of the transitive out of -ing construction.

The Duchess of Sussex has taken legal action over an article featuring parts of a handwritten letter to her estranged father Thomas Markle . The Duchess of Sussex The Duchess of Sussex has been accused of being more worried about the " unflattering " effect of the publication of letter extracts written to her estranged father than any breach of her data protection rights . The claim is made in a legal document submitted to the High Court by the publisher of the Mail on Sunday and MailOnline , responding to Meghan 's legal action over an article featuring parts of a handwritten letter to Thomas Markle . Papers from the duchess 's solicitors have previously said the " true sentiment " of the letter was Meghan 's concern about her father 's welfare and his exploitation by tabloid newspapers which he should stop talking to . But Associated Newspapers ' legal team said in its document published this week : " If the Claimant had been or was concerned about her father and his welfare , she would not have cut her father , a sick @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ sin of speaking to the press about his daughter who had become a famous royal duchess . " Meghan " caused or permitted " , the legal paper claims , her close friend Jessica Mulroney to contact the duchess 's former commercial adviser who gave an interview to the Mail on Sunday , in a bid to ensure " a more favourable article was published " . Ms Mulroney , a Canadian stylist and TV star , wrote to Gina Nelthorpe-Cowne " putting pressure on her to withdraw or change statements " , claims the legal team for the publisher . Mr Markle is the main witness for Associated Newspapers and if the case reaches a full court hearing , both Meghan and her father could be called to testify against one another , with the paper 's sister publication the Daily Mail reporting that the retired lighting director would be prepared to face her in court . Advertising The duchess , known as the claimant in legal documents , is seeking damages from Associated Newspapers for alleged misuse of private information , copyright infringement @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ publisher 's document alleges : " The claimant 's real claim in this action is transparently not that the defendant has processed her personal data without consent , which all media publishers do on a regular basis , but that she does not like the effect of what the defendant has published because she considers it to be unflattering . " The papers shed light on the relationship between Meghan and her father , with Mr Markle claiming he contributed tens of thousands to her education , paying private school fees , university tuition costs and her student loan even after her career as an actress took off . Mr Markle claimed the duchess sent him only occasional " modest " financial gifts after landing a role in the hit TV series Suits , even though he was still paying off her college debts . Advertising The publication of the document comes during a major crisis that has engulfed the royal family around the future roles of the Sussexes . The Queen , the Duke of Sussex , the Duke of Cambridge and the Prince @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Queen has agreed for them to begin a transition period of living in Canada and the UK as they step back as frontline royals and become financially independent . Meghan , who flew back to Canada before senior royals met at Sandringham to discuss the Sussexes ' future , has been photographed in the province of British Columbia visiting the Downtown Eastside Women 's Centre in Vancouver . She discussed " issues affecting women in the community " , according to a photograph posted on Facebook by the shelter . Sections of Meghan 's letter , which was sent to Mr Markle in August 2018 , were published in February last year in the Mail on Sunday and on MailOnline . The headline on the article read : " Revealed : The letter showing true tragedy of Meghan 's rift with a father she says has ' broken her heart into a million pieces ' . " In one extract , the duchess wrote : " Your actions have broken my heart into a million pieces -- not simply because you have manufactured such unnecessary @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ not tell the truth as you are puppeteered in this . Something I will never understand . " Meghan is described in her court papers as " a well-known American actor , business entrepreneur , and women 's rights activist " . Her lawyers claim that , had the letter been published in full , it would have " undermined the defendant 's intended negative characterisation " of her . Anonymous friends of the duchess spoke out against the bullying the royal said she has faced in an article published in February last year by the US People magazine . The report highlighted Meghan 's letter , with a confidant telling the American publication about its content : " She 's like , ' Dad , I 'm so heartbroken . I love you . I have one father . Please stop victimising me through the media so we can repair our relationship ' . " The relationship between Meghan and her father broke down completely in the week of her wedding in May 2018 , a few months before the letter -- thought to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . A few days before the Sussexes wed , the retired lighting director was embroiled in controversy after allegedly being caught staging photographs with the paparazzi . He reportedly pulled out of attending the ceremony to avoid embarrassing his daughter , but after a change of heart could not fly to the UK to walk his daughter down the aisle after undergoing heart surgery . The defence papers for Associated Newspapers claim the People article was sanctioned by the duchess and its effect " was to suggest that Mr Markle has made false claims about his dealings with his daughter and that he was entirely at fault in not attending the royal wedding and for the estrangement between himself and the claimant " . The legal document claimed , as far as it was aware , Meghan had not complained about the US report for containing private information published without her consent or for being inaccurate . |

Each week , we ask one artist a set of quick-fire questions that all start with ' the first ' , from their first shows and paycheques to the first time they got drunk and fell in love . Up next is Manchester powerhouse IAMDDB , the cult ' urban jazz ' queen who just dropped her first single of 2020 It 's easy to see why 23-year-old Diana De Brito has such a devoted cult following . Not only is the Mancunian , who goes by the stage name IAMDDB , wildly personable , unfiltered and unapologetically self-assured , she 's got a deliciously compelling , utterly unique sound , the kind that sets her heads and shoulders above the cookie-cutter artists in the charts . Citing influences from Erkyah Badu to Nat King Cole , De Brito 's self-styled brand of " urban jazz " -- a heady blend of hip-hop , jazz , trap and soul -- has earned her a reputation as one of the most promising artists on the British urban scene , with 2020 looking set to be her biggest @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ musician , De Brito moved from Lisbon , Portugal , to Manchester as a small child . Alongside Aitch , she 's one of her city 's hottest exports , having exploded onto the UK music circuit in 2015 with her single " Leaned Out " . Since then , De Brito 's racked up tens of millions of views on each of her YouTube videos ( check out " Shade " , currently on 30 million ) , she was placed third on BBC 's Sound Of 2018 list and has recently supported Lauryn Hill and US rap megastar Bryson Tiller on arena tours , all without signing to a label or releasing a debut album . Oh , and she 's also a bonafide fashion darling , having starred in campaigns for Browns , Moncler , Tommy Hilfiger and Levi 's , to name just a few . Hot off the back of last year 's sold-out tour , next month she embarks on a 30-day European run , including London 's 4,900-plus capacity Brixton Academy , with " loads of new music " in the pipeline for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ " God 's Work " featuring Ill Blu -- a fun , upbeat dancehall track guaranteed to assuage those January blues -- we sat down with De Brito over lunch in East London to find out all about her formative firsts . From puppy love and a prom night disaster , to building a formidable artist presence and how she navigates being a woman in the music industry , here , De Brito gets as real as ever . The first time you realised you wanted to be a musician ... I feel like I 've always known , but the first time I really realised was when I played Rizzo in high school in about year nine or ten . As I was on stage , there was something in me that just clicked . " This is what I want to do , being in front of an audience , the lights , having a whole performance to deliver . " I had the choice of either doing law or music , but library shifts were not for me . I want to see the world @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ dad was a musician , we had a studio at home and I was constantly around musicians and instruments , he travelled a lot and would come back with all these crazy stories . I wanted to be like my dad ! Part of the reason I decided to go by IAMDDB instead of my full name was to create a bit of distance and solidify myself as an artist in my own right . I wanted to make sure everything I achieve is because of my hard work , not because " she has these contacts or her dad did this " . I toured in Africa in 2015 , which was heavily jazz-based with lots of covers , but it really gave me the understanding of training , organisation , discipline , just the mental strength as well to be on stage and connect with the audience . It was so fire . From that experience , I was just like , " D , if you can do that in Africa , imagine what you could do in England . Get your arse back , and do @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in front of a live audience ... It was in Manchester in this cute little caf ? . It was super intimate and cosy . There must have been about 20 to 30 people there . And then my first headline show in London was at Hoxton Grill , which was so fire , it was the first time that I felt like , " Bitch , you just came out of the city and did a whole show being yourself . You can do this ! " That was the first time I met any fans , too . At this point I only had two projects about , but they were really feeling the wave . I was n't as confident and comfortable being on stage as I am now , but even then people gravitated towards it . The first time you got silly drunk ... Probably at prom . Oh , my gosh . I was so pissed that I ended up in an ambulance and I do n't remember anything from that moment . When I woke up the next day I @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ awful mix of vodka and Jack Daniel 's , from that day I vowed that vodka would be off the table forever . The first time you fell properly in love ... Do we have to do this ? No , I 'm joking . I was 14 , my little high school sweetheart . We must have been together for two years , now I look back and think , what did you kids know about love ? It ended because we kind of just began growing in different directions . I 'm single now . If you really want a relationship you can make it work , even busy artists . I just ca n't be arsed . I do n't have time for someone ringing me , asking to see me , saying I miss you . Like , cool , that 's cute , but I have to be in the studio . I 've tried to do it before and it 's a constant push pull . Y'all can keep that . I feel like it 's even worse when you work with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ what goes on in your industry , so it 's like , " If I know all this , then what are you doing ? " The first record you ever bought ... My parents bought me Bob Marley & The Wailers ' Exodus and then " Africa Unite " on single . I must have been about four or five . The first time you felt underestimated as an artist ... I feel like that all the time with men in the music industry . Sometimes I meet certain artists and just think , " You 're not focused or in tune with what I 'm saying to you or what we could build together . You 're more focused on just looking at me and thinking , ' Wow . ' " And I 'm just like , " Come on , guys . We need to get past that . " It 's like they look at your physique rather than your ability ... I do n't know why that is . I feel like women are more precise and pay a lot @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ underestimated , I love playing it to my advantage . There have been instances in meetings when I just allow people to talk and I 'm like , " Oh , really ? Wow . Oh , OK ! " while thinking , " I 'm going to play you at your own game . Let me stroke your ego while studying how you move , so I can predict your behaviour and next time , understand how to manoeuvre . " Another thing is I never reveal as much as I know , because I 'd always rather be the student in the situation rather than leading it and trying to be all macho . In every situation there is always something to learn . Your first teenage pinup was ... Enrique Iglesias , because it was when I still lived in Portugal . The first sign you 're a Mancunian ... Growing up in Manchester helped me establish who I was as a person . There 's so much diversity in Manchester . We 're all so warm and we just do n't really @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ bit more uptight and a bit more focused on image . Whereas we 're like , " Let 's just go for a spliff and chill . " So I feel like it 's helped me embrace myself and not be too focused on what people are projecting onto me . The first time you made money out of being a musician ... Probably that same Hoxton gig . It was n't much once you factor in travel , expenses and all that , but it was amazing . I just could n't believe that this was becoming my job and that I was n't working any more . I 'd been fired from my job at River Island . What a drag that was . I did loads of jobs in retail : New Look , Ann Summers . Do you know what it is ? I was useless because I 'd stand there doing nothing , pissed off that I was n't in the studio . The first time you blew your paycheque frivolously ... I do n't think I 've ever had that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ music and the visuals . I 'm technical with how I spend the money . Saying that , after I dropped Hoodrich , Vol 3 , I thought , " Screw it . I want some ice . " So I bought some diamonds and I went on holiday to Ibiza , which is my favourite place in the whole world . I want to do a residency as a DJ there this summer . I 'd love that so much . The first time a politician made you mad ... When Donald Trump got elected I just felt like the end of the world was near . " What do you mean this man is president of America ? Is this real ? " The first time you had a diva moment ... Not that I 'd say it was a diva moment , but if we have to put it that way there has been a certain festival I played , where , I kid you not , they gave me a tent instead of a dressing room . I 'd turn up without @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ mirror , nothing . I had to get ready in the car . The first time you felt like you 'd made it ... I did a show for Gilles Peterson in London where I performed " Shade " and the crowd was loving it . It was mad and I was embracing the vibe , feeling so much gratitude , then Gilles comes out and says , " We 'd like to present you with an award for the best up and coming artist . " I just started crying . I did n't know what to do . I was just so grateful . The first time you threw a punch and meant it ... This is my past self , because I do n't do violence any more , but I remember there was one time when I was about 18 and I was shopping with my mum and we were in a parking lot . Someone tried to start shouting at my mum , who was driving , and I asked the woman to watch her tongue . She would n't listen @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ but I pushed her hard enough to let her know that I was not joking . It got a bit heated , a bit tense , my mum was going , " Diana , just calm down . " I was about 18 . Past ways , Lord . The first time you got stage fright ... Imagine I 've just dropped Vol 3 and then I 'm given a 50-date tour with Bryson Tiller . When I was in high school I 'd listen to Bryson Tiller . I was just trying to adapt to what was even happening , so for the first couple of shows I was freaking out , knowing I was about to go out in front of 5,000 people and I 'd had no practice . But after a couple of shows I was cool . I still get butterflies , but as soon as you 're on stage it 's fine . The first person you call if you were in real trouble ... My manager . He 's a bad man . He saves the day every time @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ like yin and yang . I do n't think people understand that it 's literally just us . He takes care of the business and I take care of the creative , but in the midst of all that , he 's trained me to understand the business . I like to be balls deep in everything . I like to understand contracts , terms and conditions , what it is I 'm doing , why and what I 'm expected to deliver . I 've released all my music independently . I created a business , I signed myself to myself and then that business does partnerships with majors , so that me , as an artist , I 'm protected and never tied down to a label . The industry is a machine , at the end of the day . Unless you 're willing to comply and compromise what you do to suit their needs , you 're never really going to push past that threshold in an organic way , unless you have the smash records that have connected worldwide and then the music speaks for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , rather than the other way around . It really depends what your intention is . If it 's just to make money , a label is the place to go , but if you 're an artist that knows self and really wants to scale , it 's all about the terms and conditions . The first thing you 'd do if you became prime minister ... Free education and free health for everybody and I 'd have all the homeless in shelters or hostels free of charge . I 'd also have rehabilitation centres for mental health , because I 've always wondered how you can have a psych ward and claim that people are crazy . How do you define crazy ? How do you measure someone being crazy ? What if they are just enlightened or have some higher spiritual powers ? The first song you wrote ... The first song I wrote as IAMDDB was " JazB " . It was lyrics on top of a Flying Lotus beat and I just put it out everywhere . Head over to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ IAMDDB , where she shares the craziest thing that 's ever happened to her on tour and her essential Manchester bucket list , from the restaurant to eat in to her favourite hotel .

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, it uses the phrase 'take the piss out of everything', which is an idiomatic expression and does not involve a VP[-ing] predicate or induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation.

I used to live in Sydney around that time and never missed their program on every Wednesday . When I left Australia , I did buy myself DVDs of their program . This one was just unbelievable - the way they pulled it out was exemplary . Any searing satirical show has soon been scuttled in Australia . Unlike the United States or the U.K. lampooning politicians- even though they beg to be lampooned- is not allowed . John Oliver 's recent show depicting and showing the shallow , the venal , modern church evangelists propounding the message of money and riches will come to those who pray and " give " money , would never be shown in Australia . Too close to the beliefs of some of those in power here . I subscribe to ' Private Eye ' . A fortnightly paper edited by Ian Hislop now . It holds politicians , local councils , politicians , royalty , celebrity and all manner of institutions which are way " up " themselves in Britain , to account . Nothing at all like that in Australia nor ever likely to be . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ dignitaries probably would n't like that either , if they found out about it . And it might struggle with heavily tinted windows , not to mention those reflective sunglasses that all the security guys* wear. ( *real or fake ) Why would they be in jail ? The security guards were the ones who waved them through each check pointThey GAVE THEM PERMISSION TO BE THERE by waving them throughThey went a lot further than any of them dreamed they could go because of thisit was The Chaser that pulled the pin on the exercise not the security that put an end to it Why ca n't we have more shows like The Chaser and less of this reality TV garbage , especially the dreadfully contrived " dating/marriage " shows . Unfortunately commercial TV in particular has been dumbed down and " feminised " and so we have non-stop dating , dancing , cooking and pop singing shows It gets my vote as #1 . I only hope it is used as a training video by security forces everywhere - they need a bit of a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . What utter idiocy - directing security to not look at people " because visiting dignitaries do n't like to be stared at " . It shows how our leaders are nauseatingly willing to pander to the whims of the rich and famous , even at the expense of their own security . " more arrogant and fascist " ? More arrogant perhaps , but I would suggest you do n't have the first clue about what " fascist " means , otherwise you would not say such nonsense . Grew up in a democratic country with little genuine fear about spending the rest of your life in prison with no charges ever being brought , have you ? I did n't . The difference between actual fascism ( or some other form of undemocratic -ism ) and what it happening in Australia under this admittedly distasteful government is such that using that word is an insult to anyone who has experienced the pleasures of a genuinely totalitarian state . THE TWO THAT GOT AWAY THE CHASERS MOTORCYCLE ESCORTMy 2 friends acted as a fake police escort @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ steped out of the carthe Top Cop thought that they where real and directed them to leave.Now it 's one thing to be scammed , Quite another to direct potential terrorists to leave the scene , could be why it never went to court ? ? ? ? It was absolutely a pretty good stunt , and one that took considerable confidence and courage to carry out and stick with it - that confidence ( plus good preparation in terms of getting the team to look the part and the forewarning about the likely response from the consultants as discussed in the article ) probably was the key part in making it work . If they had gotten too nervous and hesitated they would likely have been rumbled much earlier . It is also a good sign that people here , even some of the authorities , could see the funny side of the whole thing . And I hate to say it , but when it became serious at the Lindt Cafe- the anti terror units were beyond useless . No dedicated negotiator , no dedicated @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on , no background checking on the suspect , leaving the poor hostages to fend for themselves for 19 hours etc etc .... with tragic consequences . The ( brilliant ) Chaser team provided the clearest possible illustration of the ludicrousness and incompetence of ' Security Theatre ' . Any individual or organisation that want to shut down a city or major event can do so with minimum effort and there 's nothing that Dutton , his bloated ' Homeland security ' goons and the myriad of laughably incompetent ' private security ' firms could do to stop them.The gigantic sums thrown at the military and the " Australian Border force ' to pursue and detain refugees is merely another example of this failed policy.Our community exists because the people want it to exist , not because miscreants like Drumpf and Scomo demand it . Add to this the Chaser stunt where they dressed someone up like a caricature of a American tourist , and another person as a " terrorist . " Both of them went around significant Sydney landmarks and places like the Lucas Heights reactor @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ by security staff immediately whereas the tourist got to do whatever he wanted . I 've lived in three countries on three continents and worked in another dozen countries all around the world . They all have lots of things to recommend them , but the thing I absolutely love best about Australia is our ability to take the piss out of everything ! No one does that better . It 's fascinating to read the above , as it provides a reminder that every gut-busting stunt like this that you actually see on TV has almost always been vetted and sanctioned by producers and higher-uppers in the corporation . The perpetrators all know their legal rights , exactly what boundaries to push and how to push them . We criticise stuffy , uptight censors and producers for being too close-minded and unwilling to push boundaries when it comes to our media ; it 's always worth remembering that for every thing they cut or cull , there 's stuff like this they let go . Where would we be without the satirists , commentators and troupes through @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the late-night hosts on American TV , Nish Kumar , Jon Stewart , Shaun Micallef etc and , more importantly , the people who let them on TV ? I had only been in this country a little over two years when this happened . Coming from where I do , where the media is entirely state-controlled and literally everything rigorously censored , seeing people pull stunts like this off , as well as the general doorstepping aggravation of govt and public figures , blew my mind . Where I come from , people like these usually end up dead or , more likely , arrested , charged with sedition , jailed and forcibly re-educated in a jungle camp somewhere . For now at least , freedom in Australia means being able to say 2 + 2 equals dressing up as Osama bin Laden and driving through a red zone in a fake motorcade to skewer state security and politicians . |

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction. It lacks an NP object between the verb 'get' and 'out of paying for infringement'. Additionally, it does not clearly convey a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation as required by the construction.

With America 's Supreme Court expected to hear arguments in Google v. Oracle over the copyrightability of software application programming interfaces come March , the search biz 's ideological allies have rushed to support the company with a flurry of filings . A week after Google handed its petitioner 's brief to the court on January 6 , Monday this week saw 21 friend-of-the-court ( amicus curiae ) filings . Most of the submitted arguments support Google 's position . They include briefs from IBM , Microsoft , Mozilla , trade groups , advocacy organizations , policy wonks , and academics . IBM 's brief is emphatic in its first sentence : " Computer interfaces are not copyrightable .

Oracle appealed the decision . Though the Court of Justice of the European Union ( CJEU ) in a different case around the same time had come to a similar conclusion -- that the functional aspects of APIs could not be copyrighted -- the federal circuit appeals court reversed Judge Alsup 's decision in 2014 .

Hearing the case in 1878 , the Supreme Court affirmed there was no copyright infringement because the Perris and Hexamer maps detailed different places and they were not substantially similar .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'get out of paying for infringement' involves 'get out of' followed by a gerund, but there is no NP object between the verb 'get' and 'out of'. Additionally, the interpretation does not align with either the movement/extraction or prevention interpretations characteristic of the transitive out of -ing construction.

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction. It describes actions (climbed our way out of dangling mountain-pass train wrecks) but lacks the necessary NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate structure. Additionally, it does not convey a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation.

Looking back , I think that this generation of gaming will be defined by social networks , hash tags , downloadable content , and sweeping multiplayer suites . Before this age of The Matrix , however , things were quite the other way around . The online portions of a game were looked at almost as bonus content to a fleshed-out story mode . This reversed line of thought has n't disappeared , by any means . It has just been cast into the shadow of the monolith that is the online world . In commemoration of the games that stuck to tradition and made some great shooter campaigns , here are 25 that really stuck out this generation . Here are the ground rules that determined titles that I put on this list : Both third and first person perspectives were considered . Given that this generation was also all about genre-bending , games with any amount of shooting were put on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ genres . No co-op-specific campaigns were considered for this list . This is not an ordered list . Gears Of War Advertisement Though Gears Of War two and three were both filled with big moments , some of which were quite emotional , none really brought with them the fear and foreboding that the first game did . It was n't just that the Locust Hoard was new to us as gamers , but the presentation was also wildly different in tone . Remember the spooky refinery in " Downpour " ? How about the Kryll in " Lethal Dusk " ? Let us also not forget the first encounter with a Berserker . Long story short , this game was downright creepy at times . Uncharted 2 : Among Thieves Uncharted 2 was everything that gamers envision a sequel should be : bigger , badder , and peppered with improvements over its predecessor . It accomplished that and then quite a bit more . Playing out like a modern day Indiana Jones that does n't suck , the breathless race to find @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ fought gun battles in collapsing hotels , climbed our way out of dangling mountain-pass train wrecks , and had a showdown next to the Tree Of Life . The development of old characters and the introduction of appealing new ones just made the narrative that much better . Mirror 's Edge Though you could make it through the game without actually shooting anyone , there was always the option to fling both bullets and the lithe protagonist , Faith , across the many rooftops and obstacles in this unique parkour-run-and-gun hybrid ... thingy . The stark art style of the dystopian city this game takes place in , meshed with the gameplay that always feels like it 's on the " edge " of not working , and a serviceable mystery plot made this short game feel even shorter . Thank god Mirror 's Edge 2 is on the way . Borderlands 2 Much like Uncharted 2 , Borderlands 2 simply did exactly what was expected of a sequel . There were more guns , an actual plot , more powers , and all-new areas of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . The co-op made the game a million times more fun , which may make you think that this game would n't be qualified for this list ... but shooting and looting still sets off a little bit of a dopamine rush , even when you are riding solo . Saints Row : The Third Saints Row started out as a direct competitor to Rockstar 's Grand Theft Auto , but by the second installment , things were already starting to get weird . That trend did n't change with Saints Row : The Third , where we were beating people to death with sex toys , fighting off a zombie hoard , and flying around the city of Stillwater in a freaking fighter jet . The over-the-top action lent this open a heap of longevity , and I can still have fun with it now . Prey Prey was an early example of the mountain of innovation that this generation brought to the table . I 'm not so much talking about the shooting aspect -- that was pretty straightforward . However , fighting aliens @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ through portals and walking on ceilings helped this game stand apart from the rest of the shooter crowd . The puzzles sprinkled throughout the campaign also harkened back to a day where shooters were made up of mare than pretty shooting galleries . Metro : Last Light Metro : 2033 showed us that the drab-from-the-start post-apocalyptic wastelands could have far more character to them than we previously thought . The game was great , but had a few glaring technical issues , most of which were wiped out with Metro : Last Light , a stirring tale of redemption and an entire world that served as an allegory for both mankind 's ability to destroy , but also to persevere and rebuild . The metro tunnels will forever be burned into my memory , and the moments of both natural and supper natural terror that peppered the campaign were a welcome addition in a genre has been stagnating . Dead Space 2 This was a tough tossup , but given that this is a list about shooters , I think Dead Space 2 is a little @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Dead Spaces 's , where you were just going from stop to stop and flipping switches . The addition of new weapons , more Necromorph types , and plenty of terror made the gameplay great . The psychological thriller that was the narrative also provided an excellent look into series protagonist Isaac Clark 's deteriorating sanity . Bioshock What can be said about Bioshock that has n't already been said ? The city of Rapture is one of the most complete and well-thought-out gaming worlds of all time and was brimming with some of the most intriguing madmen that gaming had ever saw . While the mechanics were nothing new , wielding plasmids and an array of hard-hitting weapons was a lot of fun , and your really had to think about how to best use them when facing the now-iconic Big Daddies . Of course , the plot and its incredible twist was the star of the show , and asked some very real questions about reality . The elegant design of the narrative and its themes put it head and shoulders of the **29;2254;TOOLONG plot of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Cinderella Man of this generation . With the series having stagnated long ago , the 2013 reboot finally made the series worth talking about again . The small but focused and well-designed open world just begged to be explored , with its unique far-eastern architecture , puzzling tombs , and vast array of other challenges and secrets . The Metroidvania style of play made backtracking an actual joy , and the RPG-lite systems really played off of Laura 's character development quite well . There was a little too much shooting and not always enough puzzling , but I still had a freaking blast . Far Cry 3 Once again , Far Cry 3 played the part of sequel quite well by dusting up on the many small problems of Far Cry 2 and also had some pretty interesting commentary to share about modern-day pop culture . Far Cry 3 's open world was made appealing by the lush jungle setting , hidden tribal secrets , and plenty of small side stories in the form of hidden notes and letters to make Rook Island positively breathe . With @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ just about any approach to combat and plenty to do beyond the great narrative , Far Cry 3 is one of the few games that I found myself doing just about everything in it . Mass Effect Bioware 's sweeping space opera series was one of the most ambitious projects ever to be undertaken in video games , with decisions made in one game spreading across all three titles , but the first game holds a special place in my heart . The shooting was n't quite as refined as it was in Mass Effect 2 or Mass Effect 3 , but it did take place in a world that felt for more mysterious and romantic than it did in the darker second and third entries . The original Mass Effect also placed a much bigger emphasis on exploring uncharted planets that , although held in contention as to their quality , at least helped the game feel like more of an adventure . Halo : ODST Halo : ODST was an interesting little side project from Bungie , one that took a moment to step @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ more intimate tale back on Terra Nova . Playing out in a unique neo-noire format , ODST took place almost exclusively at night in the boots of protagonist The Rookie . The Covenant was once again scary thanks to the return of a health bar , and the jazzy soundtrack helped set a mysterious , warm tone that carried through most of the game . The hub world was also an interesting departure from the level-based structure the game had in the past , and toying around with silenced alterations of the SMG and beloved Pistol were great . Call Of Duty 4 : Modern Warfare Call Of Duty : Modern Warfare brought Michael Bay to video games . Before Uncharted created the summer popcorn flick of video games , Modern Warfare brought the hardened military film to the medium in spectacular fashion . With a plot that was just smart enough to make you give a crap about Soap MacTavish and Captain Price and action that seemed to come right out a can of Red Bull laced with coke , the campaign was refreshing in a time @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ who could make their game bigger . Missions such as " All Ghillied Up " and moments such as the nuclear explosion that killed off one of the main characters have already made their way into the " Best Moments In Video Game History " Hall Of Fame . I still go back and play this campaign from time to time . Deus Ex : Human Revolution Bioshock could n't exist without Deus Ex , and that point was further proven with 2011 's Deus Ex : Human Revolution . The game 's great mystery narrative had protagonist Adam Jenson encountering numerous ethical quandaries , sneaking ( or shooting ) his way through clandestine government facilities , and exploring a cyber-punk world we had never seen done before -- a marriage of science fiction and Renaissance architecture . The numerous upgradeable weapons and powers such as a system that essentially shot rockets out of your body gave players plenty of ways to play the campaign , and even allowed them to get through it without ever even killing anyone -- minus the totally obnoxious boss battles . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ have gotten out of school suspension for telling a teacher to go f*** themselves , right after kicking someone out of a second story window and yelling out " hell yeah ! " Taking a combo-based game like Devil May Cry and turning it into a shooter , Bulletstorm was violence condensed into a blood sport . I could n't decide if I was just sick or just really creative when I would yank an enemy towards me with the leash , stick an explosive in their throat , and then kick him back into a crowd of his friends , blowing them all into gloriously bloody chunks . Spec Ops : The Line Though mechanically , Spec Ops : The Line really was n't anything very impressive . In fact , it was pretty uneven in some areas . What made the game so great , though , was everything else around it . Rather than let itself become a by-the-numbers military shooter that many gamers have become accustomed to , it forced you to take a second of pause before pulling the trigger . You witnessed @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ protagonists . I left some scenarios in Spec Ops : The Line feeling genuinely guilty . After the game was over , I was left considering how violence is used in video games , which is a fear in and of itself . Condemned : Criminal Origins This Xbox launch title was a tour de force of atmosphere and storytelling . Stepping into the investigative shoes of Ethan Thomas to track down the Match Maker across a variety of dilapidated urban environments made for a chilling and , at times , supernatural experience . Guns were rarely on the menu , and you often felt helpless as murderous crack addicts leapt out of the shadows to attack you . The plot twists , heavy hitting gunfire and melee combat , and spooky atmosphere grasped me from the beginning and never let go . Ratchet And Clank : A Crack In Time Though there are many that would call Ratchet And Clank a platforming series , it is hard to deny the large amount of shooting that occurs in this game . The gorgeously animated alien worlds @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ styles around . The lovable characters exist in stark contrast next to the creative and fun-to-use weapons that you blast the ever-living-hell out of all sorts of robots and other creatures with . Pretty much everything about A Crack In Time is great . Resistance : Fall Of Man Where plot or character is concerned , the Resistance series is n't really the place to look . However , given that the games are made by the same people responsible for the Ratchet And Clank series , the weapons were some of the most unique that I have ever seen in a first person shooter , all of them having some cool secondary or tertiary functions . The alternate-history setting is also wholly unique , with an alien-invasion going down during World War II . Fallout : New Vegas While Fallout 3 was great , the decisions that you made in the game could pretty much be classified as either " good " or " bad , " which was strange considering how much the game emphasized moral ambiguity . New Vegas not only fixed this @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to a different part of America and adding so damn color , throwing in a great wild-west story of revenge , and giving you even more options with which to customize your gear and your character . This was , however , after they fixed up the game 's many launch-day bugs . Metal Gear Solid 4 : Guns Of The Patriots Yeah , yeah , I know -- Metal Gear Solid is a stealth series , but I distinctly remember shooting the hell out of everyone the first time I played through the game . I believe my kill count was in the high 500 's , so dammit , Guns Of The Patriots can be called a shooter , depending on how you play it . The intricately woven fiction , the well-thought-out characters , and the wide-open environments that just begged to be explored made this one of the best **40;2285;TOOLONG games out there . Singularity This game was something of a hidden gem . The art-style and atmosphere brought to mind Bioshock , the game played like a regular old first-person shooter @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . Shooting ( literally and figuratively ) between the past and present in the narrative with the device was a slick idea that , coupled with the likeable characters , kept things interesting . I left Singularity wholly satisfied and fulfilled something that you ca n't say for many emotionally empty shooters on the market today . Shadows Of The Damned You know that when Suda51 drops a game , you 're in for ... something . Shadow Of The Damned tells the story of Garcia Hotspur , who dives headfirst into Hell when his girlfriend kills herself and gets sent down to the fiery depths to become the Lord Of Hell , Fleming 's , woman . The story is totally deranged , the art-style was utterly insane , and the soundtrack was incredible . There are too many sex jokes , penis jokes , and other crude jokes made , but they still manage to be funny if you stop taking yourself seriously for a few hours to get through this interesting third-person-shooting experience . Hotline : Miami This is probably the most unconventional @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ from a top-down , isometric view instead of the third or first-person perspectives that many shooters on here play from and the 16-bit visuals . You are simply tasked with going to a specific area and killing everyone by any means necessary , making this one of the most brutal games around . After each level was finished , the techno-music backdrop cut off and there was nothing but a light , droning hum as you walked past the carnage , making this one of the more thought provoking games on this list . The AI was n't bright , but this actually gave the game a certain quirk that made it wholly unique -- especially since one hit is all it takes to kill you . What games do you think deserved to be on this list , and what games do you totally think belong on here ? Let us know in the comments below !

In Jack Ryan : Shadow Recruit , Kevin Costner plays high-ranking CIA operative Thomas Harper , the handler responsible for recruiting and looking after young agent-to-be Jack Ryan ( Chris Pine ) . The role marks the start of a busy year or so for Costner , who 'll soon be appearing in 3 Days To Kill , Draft Day , Black And White and McFarland . For an actor whose pace has slowed in recent years , it marks a fresh period of work , and we 're hoping it 'll build to another directorial gig for Costner , who has n't been behind the camera since 2003 's acclaimed Open Range . Costner talks a little bit about his directing plans in the round-table interview below , which took place while Jack Ryan : Shadow Recruit was still filming last year . The talented actor and director reminisces about his missed opportunity to play both Jack @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , and the pressures of being a leading man . On his character , Commander Thomas Harper Advertisement I do n't think my character is a mentor , exactly . He recruits people . It 's safe to say he 's recruited more people than Jack Ryan during his career . There 's a management that goes with these assets that you place around the world . Jack starts off as a person that does n't have a gun in his hand . He has the capability and I 've kind of assessed all these things , like he 's got a military background , but he 's a financial guy . He 's got the classic leading man build but he does n't start off that way . So " mentor " is n't the right word , necessarily . It 's not like I 'm telling him how I do things . Jack Ryan is a resourceful guy . I manage him , like I 've managed a lot of people . " Asset " is such an impersonal way to talk about people @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ fallen into it already ! On the creation of the CIA I think the CIA system was originally conceived out of WWII . Roosevelt understood very early that one thing we lacked was that kind of intelligence operation . We did n't know anything about anything . He went to a guy he knew in college , and he went off and recruited Bill Donovan , and he was a guy that could parachute into Paris with a girl on his arm . He was almost a Bond type of personality , but his concept was that he went after very innocuous people like accountants , to get into the inside of the workings ... The CIA ca n't operate in a dumb way . They have to operate in a smart way in terms of how they recruit , and they understand that you have to work into the fabric of these societies . Nothing stands out more than a Jack Ryan , a kind of anglo guy hanging out in Russia . You get people in on the inside , like ship-builders and accountants . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ would be perfect to you . It 's not really brain surgery . It 's like , how do you get information ? I like to think that some guys were born for management and some guys fall into it . I do n't think my character was born for management , so I think he ca n't help himself sometimes from getting involved with people under his stewardship . It 's like you do n't know how good somebody 's going to be until you see them . There 's a line in the screenplay where somebody says , " You 're not just an analyst anymore ; you 're operational now and you basically have to have a gun " . The temperature grows in this film . On working with Kenneth Branagh Working with Ken Branagh was a strong appeal for me because we 're contemporaries and we both jumped out of acting into directing . And we both certainly had a thousand people tell us what they thought was wrong with us ! We risked stepping outside our boxes . Nobody has ever @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ I 've admired him from a distance since early in our careers . He talked to me about doing a movie that Andy Garcia ended up doing Dead Again that I just did n't feel was right for me , but we had a healthy respect for each other . I could fit this part . It was n't a giant stretch for me to play this , so it was really Ken . I thought he could do something really special with this . I do n't know what will come from this . I think you make one movie at a time . People nowadays want things to have an extended life , but if we do n't keep our eye on this ball ... You ca n't just force a franchise -- although it 's tried sometimes ! I think this one has to stand alone . When Ken asked me to come to it ... It 's not that I owed him anything , but if I could help him with this movie , I loved the idea of that . Only he had @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ do that . On working with Chris Pine , and his role as Jack Ryan I 've been where Chris Pine is at . I guess my version of this film would be No Way Out or something , on some level . I think he has a very good handle on it , and our dynamic from a script standpoint is that I 'm in the position of handling him , and obligated to get him out of a situation if I 've gotten him in . Our dynamic is a nice one . He controls himself really well on set . He knows what he 's doing . He understands this kind of " leading man " responsibility . He 's 6 ft and he 's white and there 's this certain kind of thing that you have to do . It 's a kind of thing you learn how to do without doing lisps and accents and limps . You ca n't get away with all the tricks you get to play as a character actor . Sometimes as a leading man what makes @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ there and take people through the movie . You do n't get to do what all the people who play the bad guy or the eccentric get to do . It 's hard sometimes , because you go , " Am I doing enough here ? " It 's not an easy thing , which is why there are n't a lot of guys who can fill those shoes . People think it 's easy to be Spencer Tracy . Oh , really ? It 's not wall-to-wall action . It 's a young man and a woman and he 's kept a secret from her and now she 's involved in it ... There are some movies that are wall-to-wall action and others that depend more on how their story unfolds . It all comes down to story . Some are more dialogue heavy than others . How Costner narrowly missed out on being Jack Ryan himself I was asked to be in the first one The Hunt For Red October ! People fell in love with these books . Their whole summers are spent reading @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ they like a certain style . There 'll never , ever be another Bond situation : that is what it is , and it 's such a great thing and it gave birth to all these other things . I would have done Red October . I wanted to do it , but I had postponed Dances With Wolves for a year and I was suddenly going to make it , and I really could n't do anything else . They offered me more money than I had ever seen , and I think they though I was just stubborn . But I was n't ! " No " did n't mean " More money ! " , it meant that I could n't do it . I had given my word on Dances With Wolves . Everyone wondered what the hell it was . It was called so many names ! This little Indian movie . It got called Kevin 's Gate . I did n't know what everyone 's problem was ! I would have loved to have done Red October but it just was n't @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ be somewhere else . I like directing . I have n't done a lot of it . I 've only directed three movies , but I 'd like to do more , and I think I will as my career plays out . I 'm stubborn enough to not do it unless I think I 'm going to be able to influence every bit of it . I 'm not a big committee guy . I 'm developing four or five movies that I 'd like to direct at the moment . I have three little kids under five , so I have n't worked that much in the last few years . I 'm doing back-to-back movies this year , which I 've only done once before . I did Field Of Dreams and Revenge back-to-back , with two days between them . If you look at my career , and whoever you 'd consider my contemporaries , like Bruce or Mel or Richard , I 've probably done about a third of the movies that they 've done , because sometimes I just go home and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ like to direct more , and this last four years I 've written a lot , and acquired certain things . But I wo n't just go out and make them for somebody else . I want to own them . We own it if they do well , and if they do n't do well we own that too . Let 's make sure they are what they are , the length that they are . I love subplot . Sometimes subplots get cut out for conventional reasons of running time . I 'm kind of like , where 's everybody going ? If it makes it six minutes longer , let 's keep it that . I 've never learned , that 's for sure ! On his all-American public persona , and almost playing Superman No one ever mistakes me for anything other than American . I make American stories , and hopefully they travel internationally . But I make cowboy movies , so I get that I 'm seen as an American everyman . The funny thing for me , which highlights the idea @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ moment early in my career when I could have played Superman . I do n't know whether I could have gotten the curl right ! But time tells you when you can play his father , and those things are changing for you . I do n't think of it that way , but I think I do n't run away from our history , the good or the bad of it . I think ... I 'm not Superman 's biological father obviously , but I like to think I gave him the DNA for his character and how he behaves as a person . I have n't ever tried to do that represent a wholesome value system purposefully . People just see you in a certain light . I did A Perfect World and Mr Brooks -- a killer and a serial killer -- but even those characters I try to make certain that you understand who they are as people . I would not have done Mr Brooks , just because a serial killer is a despicable thing , but I thought I could bring @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ made a series out of it . There has to be a level of understanding . You do n't have to make a serial killer a good guy , but if you can understand him , I think you 've done your job . On the possibility of appearing in a Jack Ryan sequel I do n't really think of this as a series . I do n't really covet other people 's parts . I certainly have n't approached this one as part of a series . I know what I 'm supposed to do with this movie . This movie has its own kind of life , and if they want to bring my character back it 's going to have to be interesting , and really step up . I 've been asked to do a second Bull Durham and a second Bodyguard . I 've been asked to make another version of almost every movie I 've ever made ! So I see this as just one movie , a Kenneth Branagh film , and I loved that he wanted me to be in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Chris is the one that has to do the running and jumping and saving the girl . We all want to do that as kids , right ? We all want to be heroic . Gary Cooper had a great quote , and I said this to Chris : when he was asked what he looked for in scripts , he said " days off " . I thought that was a really good line . I remember Jo-Beth Williams saying she wished she 'd realised she 'd actually be shooting in that muddy pool for days . So when I read a script now I go , " Hmmm ... Waterworld ... I 'm probably going to be in the water a lot ... " I do n't know that I was ever as cold in a movie as I was on Waterworld . You would n't think that , because it 's Hawaii and beautiful . All I 'll say is , the next time you get wet , stand in front of a fan ! The wind blows in Hawaii constantly , and I 'd be @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ over me ... It 's crazy stuff like that that nobody warns you about ! Kevin Costner , thank you very much .

Boeing 's deliveries of new airliners have slumped to a reported 11 year low following the 737 Max software flaw which caused two fatal crashes . The US company has also lost its title as the world 's largest planemaker after net orders ( after cancellations ) last year came to just 54 aircraft . The BBC reported that in 2018 Boeing ... " John Barnett was a quality manager for Boeing for 30 years before he was transferred to South Carolina to work on the 787 , according to Big Think . It was there that a new leadership team who had previously worked on Boeing 's military projects began overseeing work on the commercial airliner . Barnett says that team lowered safety standards significantly . He stated : " They started pressuring us to not document defects , to work outside the procedures , to allow defective material to be installed without being corrected . They started bypassing procedures and not maintaining configurement control of airplanes , not maintaining control of non-conforming parts -- they just wanted to get the planes pushed out the door @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ : It 's not just the 737 ... Military standards are very different : you can get away with killing a few dozen customers , largely because they do n't have a choice and the figures are lost in the noise of other military deaths . Commercial customers do have a choice , as we are now seeing . My reading of it was that while Barnett was there working on the airliner , a new leadership team who had overseen the military projects arrived . This NEW team put the pressure on the commercial project team to lower the standards of their work . It was the commercial project team that had the higher standards and were told to cut corners by the new military project team that was now in charge . The stories coming out of Boeing are truly frightening for a " respectable " company . But then again when you see some of the things they have got up to historically , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ It 's not just the 737 ... I read it the same as A non - military have higher standards . During WW2 getting airframe out of the door was priority one as they 're not expected to last very long , in field fixes get applied as they are developed , even so , the initial development work was comprehensive . Military brass like to have their expensive toys delivered as designed & working correctly , compare the 737MAX with the KC46* tanker which took just over 4 years between first flight and first delivery ( with some outstanding minor issues ) . The MAX had only 16 months between first flight and delivery , commercial pressure to deliver being king ? * KC46 is an updated model of the 767 tanker that has been in service for over a decade with other air forces , The changes are mostly internal systems and refuelling boom design ( aerodynamic impact ) , this model also uses a MCAS system that only operates when the pilots are n't actually moving the controls and has dual sensor @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ No argument , you could add the first version of almost any new military system to that list at some level ! Generally the shortcomings are known and accepted ( with a plan to fix ) or produced by unforeseen changes in operational use . - SA80 was designed for northern Europe & did n't like being in the hot & dusty places where it has spent most of its ' in use ' time , still it should n't have taken so long to fix . - M16 problem was the use of the wrong propellant in the bullets resulting in fouling & jams when used operationally in the jungle for the first time , the correct propellant was n't available in the quantity needed as the weapon was rushed into army service , this was fixed very quickly . Exhibit A : SA-80 I recall my first ever " skills at arms " lesson - " This is the L1Axx know as the SA80 - it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ can do is to f*** it off and grab a ( swear words ) AK " . Rifle was throw into the corner of the room . " I want my old SLR back " ... We then went on to learn the misfire drills and how to clean it . It always misfired and we were always cleaning it , one officer talked some rubbish about it not firing as it was not clean ! " The actual word " standard " is derived from military ( think staff / colour sergeant ) . Back in the day Rome outsourced its military and .... well , the same sort of story as Boeing really . The relevant quote from the original article ( https : **38;2157;TOOLONG ... quote " The new leadership did n't understand processes , " Barnett told Corporate Crime Reporter in an interview last week . " They brought them in from other areas of the company . The new leadership team -- from my director down -- they all came from St. @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ there . " " That entire team came down . They were from the military side . My impression was their mindset was -- we are going to do it the way we want to do it . Their motto at the time was -- we are in Charleston and we can do anything we want . " /quote Also , the " they " in the quote in the Big Think article relates clearly to the " new leadership team " , i.e. , the ex-military guys . The grammar could n't be clearer . The new leadership team -- from my director down -- they all came from St. Louis , Missouri . They said they were all buddies there The St. Louis site is from McDonnell Douglas ( a primarily military site ) ; clearly the effective takeover of Boeing by McDonnell Douglas at the executive and senior management level extended far beyond the ( relocated ) head office in Chicago . Changing the name does not change the product one iota , but it can change the way the product is *perceived* by a huge amount . " Riot " vs " protest " . " Terrorist " vs " Freedom fighter . " " Pro-abortion " vs " Pro-choice " Etc . Etc . Let 's wish RyanAir all the best as even their customers refuse to fly in ' The Rose Max ' . The only part of a passenger that RyanAir cares about is getting the arse on a seat , or at least the money for that arse . As an ex air frame guy I would have to be desperate to get somewhere if it means flying with them , they do n't fill me with confidence although I must confess that some of their pilots are good . It 'll change the number of people who recognize it as a problematic aircraft . If few enough people are aware that 8200 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ their existing fleets instead of having to retire them ( assuming they 're still there by the time the Max is allowed to fly again ) . Read the Haddon-Cave report and the MAA 's body of regulation to see what happens when this goes too far . Although there is n't much noise of other military deaths these days , so people tend to notice aircraft piling into the ground more . There is a good chance that the managers who came from the military side of the house also came from the McDonald-Douglas side . That toxic culture was very prevalent over at MD and was probably one of the causes of their eventual failure . When Boeing bought out MD , that culture came to Boeing . You can see the results in all @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ not just the 737 ... One of my friends ( who currently designs missile guidance systems ) recalls interviewing with McDonnell-Douglas back in the nineties and declined to take the job on the basis that the managers he talked to by and large had questionable ethics . It 's only a single anecdote , but he was certainly unsurprised to find Boeing having its current issues following the merger with MD . Military standards are often more stringent than the civilian versions - but the use cases tend to be much more strenuous than their civilian equivalent ; whilst a civilian airliner will ideally spend its life flying well within the available performance envelope , a military aircraft will be running a lot closer to the design limits if used properly - and if used " for real " , pushing those limits to the maximum the soft , pink squidgy bit in the cockpit can take . As for " get(ting) away with killing a few dozen customers " , letting people who regularly train in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ propensity for violence know that you think making a few more cents for the shareholders is more important than their lives is possibly not the best way to guarantee yourself a long and comfortable retirement ... In among those messages , seen by The Register , are multiple specific references to a 737 Max simulator installed at London Gatwick Airport . Boeing staffers appeared concerned that the sim was n't going to meet its Level D certification ( the highest level , necessary for the most demanding pilot training ) because it was n't realistic enough . In my experience , level D is one grade up from garage-ware ( certainly in the DO-178 definitions ) ; the most demanding is level A ( failure is catastrophic ) . Interestingly , ISTR that MCAS was originally classified as level D ( I do not think any level above that would permit a single sensor and single processor for something that can operate flying control surfaces ) . Presumably the two groups did n't speak to each other to start with , although as it 's very hard to get a catastrophic failure in a simulator that 's possibly not surprising . Plus simulators pre-date software so I ca n't see them changing ! That was done on purpose . Boeing signed an agreement with Southwest Airlines in which Boeing would receive a bonus on each 737 MAX sold if no simulator training for pilots was required . The FAA was rather arbitrary in its decision making , so Boeing management pushed engineering to make as few cockpit changes as possible to reduce the risk that the FAA would require simulator training . That meant that the disagree light was omitted as a baseline feature . We know how that turned out . These days civil aviation has become a heavily standardised , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ into flimsy flying tubes of aluminium wirh minimum levels of comfort and safety , in order for a chain of big corporations to achieve minimum costs and maximum profits . There is also the dismal airport experience . And now , this ! Is it really necessary to put ourselves through such a stressful experience on a regular basis ? Or can we try to do without it , a bit ? wirh minimum levels of comfort and safety , in order for a chain of big corporations to achieve minimum costs and maximum profits . There are two major errors in that statement that I feel it 's important to correct . As it 's very easy to adopt the position of world-weary cynicism and forget that by-and-large we 're living the dream nowadays . Fistly air travel has never been safer . Did n't we have our first year without a major airline crash causing a death a while back ? Just checked and yes - 2017 no large commercial jets crashed at all with no loss of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ deaths . Obviously military and small aviation are n't as safe - but then do n't tend to have the headline large death tolls . And remember this is at a time when passenger miles travelled has been increasing massively . Probably Boeing have got complacent and this will either be a salutary reminder that will cause major corporate change , or they 'll lose a load of sales to Airbus . Secondly according to Warren Buffet ( admittedly in a throwaway remark ) the air industry as a whole has made a loss over its lifetime . There are some airlines that make a profit consistently , but it tends to be a highly cyclical industry where everyone takes a bath in recessions . Plus it 's an industry prone to panic , such as the large drop in flights after the September 11th attacks . Obviously I 'd agree about the every more people being crammed into smaller spaces on the planes . Though it should be pointed out that the industry is also carrying ever more passengers at still reducing costs . Apparently airlines are making the correct trade-offs . People want cheap tickets and will take a bit less legroom in turn . Grumbling is a favorite sport of our species ( I guess really the only think that sets us apart from chimps ? ) , so they 're probably right to ignore it and just look at the rising passenger numbers . I agree that purely from a formal interpretation of my post , your corrections and explanations stand . But only if interpreting it from a strictly formal @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ your points as follows : 1 . Safety Does the fact that no crashes occur in a given year mean that you are safe ? Or are you , effectively , " on a wing and a prayer " , and betting on the statistical unlikeliness of an accident occurring , though should an accident occur , you 're unlikely to survive it ? How safe , given the endless cost-cutting , do you think you are when flying in cramped conditions on a plane ? How much of a " dream " do you think you are living when you are going through the overall experience ? Conclusion : would it not be sensible to reduce the amount of times we fly in airplanes , at least a bit ? The current attitude towards flying - that it is a normal part of life - is surely merely the outcome of massive marketing and advertising campaigns to induce us into adopting what some might contend are unnatural and unsustainable behaviours , in order to increase the profits of giant corporations . Which leads @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the civil aviation industry , I am not only addressing the airlines alone , but also the travel companies , hotels , tourism organisations , airport operators , the service providers to airlines and airports , including the providers of the security staff , suppliers of equipment , etc . would it not be sensible to reduce the amount of times we fly in airplanes , at least a bit ? That seems highly subjective . Some people can justify flying relatively frequently , for jobs they find rewarding or family visits or what have you . Personally , I am happy to be flying much less frequently these days , even though it means I do several long-distance ( 18-24 hours of driving each way ) car trips every year . And yes , those car trips are significantly more dangerous than flying - though in the best case I 'd still have significant driving even if I did fly , and unless I spent several hundred dollars more for each trip to fly in and out of tiny regional airports , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ there are no hub airports near my origin or destination , and public transportation in the US remains laughably inadequate . I have flown periodically in commercial aircraft for over 50 years , and in my experience the comfort level has *increased* during that time . Obviously the service depends on how much you pay , same as a hotel , but even in economy class you get entertainment systems that not even the most expensive 1st class passengers had a few decades ago . Seat pitch and width in economy can be a bit tight , but not excessively so unless you are bigger than average . The cost of the flight ( relative to average income ) has also decreased to the stage that overseas weekend breaks are a realistic option for people other than the very wealthy . When I was a child , for a great proportion of the population a trip on an aircraft was a once-in-a-lifetime dream . Much of the " cattle class " criticism is because the sheer volume of passengers means that you *have* to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ My first ever flight ( UK to Africa in a 727 ) had no choice of entertainment - there was a fixed in-flight movie projected onto each bulkhead and you were lucky if your view of the screen was not blocked or you were so far away you needed binoculars to watch it . ( You also had to select the right sound channel for the movie at your bulkhead - I believe the film was fed overhead from one projector to the next so there was several seconds time difference between the different screens ) . The last flight I took was business class in a Dreamliner . Wow ! After an 8 hour flight I stepped from the aircraft fully rested and feeling 100% . The seat could recline to become a fully flat bed that was wide enough to curl up on . There was a good selection of movies and music , and also WiFi . It was no less comfortable than being at home for the day - except I did n't have to make my own tea or coffee ! I 've always brought my own entertainment when I fly , using a cunning portable device called a " book " . As far as I 'm concerned , there 's been one significant improvement in air-travel comfort in my lifetime : banning smoking . I 've always brought my own entertainment when I fly , using a cunning portable device called a " book " . What is this " book " you speak of ? Some sort of proprietary Apple technology ? Do the batteries last long enough for a long-distance international flight ? Can I use it on a flight in airplane mode without cloud access ? flimsy @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in , but I ca n't think of a practical design for passenger aircraft that 's not a " flimsy flying tube of aluminum " .1 Should we go back to wood ? Anything other than thin-walled aluminum is going to be significantly less fuel-efficient , unless it 's made out of prohibitively expensive materials . Structural integrity of airliners has sometimes been a cause of fatalities , but usually ( AFAIR ) due to incorrect maintenance , as with Japan Airlines 123 . 1The " aluminum " spelling was Davy 's official nomination and etymologically justified ; IUPAC now accepts both spellings . See Aldersey-Williams , Periodic Tales , or the Wikipedia article on the element , which actually has a decent discussion of the matter . " These days civil aviation has become a heavily standardised , say even industrialised process . passengers are squeezed and processed into flimsy flying tubes of aluminium wirh minimum levels of comfort and safety , in order for a chain of big corporations to achieve minimum costs and maximum profits . " It 's @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ their carbon footprint , ie more people per ton of aircraft . However the former chief executive Dennis Muilenberg will receive $62m in additional compensation , despite being **26;2197;TOOLONG . So the risk in it for him for overseeing this mess was what exactly ? I do n't know about that . I 've known other CEOs who left in a cloud of disgrace and found a new sinecure pretty damn quickly . The old-boys network protects its own , and the public 's memory of company officers tends to be very short . I sense a shareholder lawsuit in the making here ; he presided over a total failure to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ delivered aircraft , a massive drop in orders ( thus making the long term share price lower ) and a significant drop in current stock price . In the USA ( in particular ) I have seen shareholder lawsuits for less than that . " Damn right . 890+ orders down to less than 60 . Hey , beancounters , whaddya think of that ? Did you succeed in diminishing costs enough ? " " However the former chief executive Dennis Muilenberg will receive $62m in additional compensation , despite being **26;2225;TOOLONG . So the risk in it for him for overseeing this mess was what exactly ? " Welcome to modem America 's corporatism , err capitalism , umm , systemic belief in fairness and mortality . Hope you like it here , the neoliberal economic agenda is a winner for sure . Do n't know @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ does n't look like they will be going on the dole any time soon . The US is the most extreme example but late capitalism is blooming in most of the developed world as far as I can see . And when 1%er actually face any kind of consequences for their action we get to hear what a tragedy it is . Orders are different from deliveries . They had 890 deliveries , i.e. completed aircraft built to meet past orders . Aircraft manufacturers do n't maintain inventory . they build on demand , often with a long queue . The lack of orders likely wo n't affect their deliveries for this year much . Next year however ... No , it says 890 planes down to 54 orders , even though it makes no sense to compare these two numbers . Poorly written article , or perhaps written for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ they delivered 380 planes , compared to 890 planes before . 54 was the total number of orders , which is not an interesting number since obviously some orders were for multiple planes . Actually , that 's exactly what happens . Any airshow PR announcement will usually say something like " So-and-so airline and Boeing announced an order of 20 airframes of X with options for a further 15 of Y " , not " So-and-so airline and Boeing announced 20 orders of X airframe ... " . And when the tally comes at the end of the airshow , it 's " Boeing led the order book with 25 orders totalling 225 airframes with options for an additional 100 ... " . This is a popular narrative for a site viewed by many software developers but in this case completeley innacurate . The problem was not the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ what it was specified to do . The problem was a poor system design and safety/risk analysis , poor change control because changes occured to the MCS operation without being properly assessed for their impact and poor regulatory oversight and checking . Given what it did there is no way that MCAS should have been designed in such a way as being vulnerable to a single failure and there is no way that this shoudl not have been picke dup as a problem in testing and analysis . There were a lot of problems in the development process that were responsible for this but not so far at least in the software aspects . Yep , I posted a reference to that in yesterday 's Boeing story . It was one of the first books I read , when I learnt German . I went through the whole book in just over a day . Until then , I had been taking at least a week to finish a book . I just could n't put it down @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Still do n't see how not training pilots with that was seen as acceptable by anyone . You 're talking about a major change to the function of what they know . This is n't going to be the decision of 1 person . It would have to go through various different people and levels of the organisation . Anyone involved in that decision should be held accountable , and nobody else should fly or purchase those aircraft until the situation is deemed as resolved by an independent third party . Ideally more than one party in this instance . Boeing have massively fucked up here and their reputation has pretty much been irreversibly tainted overnight . US Government will not allow them to disappear anywhere the US government does n't need the name Boeing to survive though . What they might do is a symbolic name change , the " company " Boeing will be left bankrupt ( so they wo n't have to pay the penalties ) and a new entity will emerge . Heck , it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Or Fairchild . The rest of the world will laugh like " Ha , we got them " and the US government will laugh like " Ha , we do n't care " Exactly right Andy , which is why the company deserves to vanish into oblivion . Was n't sure whether that 's sarcasm . But in any case they 're responsible for the deaths of hundreds of people due to this so essentially they should n't be allowed to continue in their current way of operating . They certainly do n't deserve to thrive and prosper off it . Seattle area companies in particular seem to come back from all sorts of engineering ineptitude , management malfeasance and the like . Although they do n't deserve it , they will be back . One day , many of us will be in a MAX8 spilling a CharBux coffee onto a windows laptop . This will not be a simple matter . Without MCAS ( or a system that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ pass part 25 of FAA regulations ( transport aircraft ) because the nose can pitch up more than the commanded ( yoke ) input without it . They could : A. Use both AoA sensors and both electronics units and if a disagree occurred ( not an uncommon issue apparently for the AoA sensors on the 737 ) then MCAS gets out of the way and a cockpit alert is issued . This would require a massive amount of total simulator time ( once they actually get the simulator to properly recreate the actual aircraft handling ) apart from other training . It will also incur quite a significant cost for the electronics and software involved ( although that is a one time cost ) . I am not sure the regulators outside the USA would permit a duplex system that disengages at a critical phase of flight ( by definition , it only engages when it ' thinks ' the aircraft is about to enter a dangerous phase of the flight envelope ) , but it would be a potential method . B. Add @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a great deal else ) and a properly designed triplex computing system for a properly redundant triplex system . This would require a complete rethink and re-statement of the system requirements and might be achievable in a couple of years ( not including flight testing ) but re-casting the system to level A ( which it should have been anyway ) will incur a great deal of testing and review ( at the hardware , software , mechanical and system level ) . Either option would require pilot training and re-certification which would not be a ' standard ' 737 certification which means the airlines would not be able to schedule any ' 737 ' pilot to any aircraft . That would put the airlines off ( they were the ones , after all , who were demanding ' just another 737 , but more fuel efficient ' , without pilot re-training costs and simulator time ) . Either option makes this a ' new ' aircraft , in my view ( others may differ ) . I can not see how this problem could be @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ course , from just scrapping the programme in it 's entirety which includes , lest we forget , the 737-8 , 737-9 and 737-10 ) . I also can not see it while the bean counters are in charge although they should be crying about all the beans they did not get to count this time . The FAA might approve the design , but a complete re-certification from the other regulators around the world is likely to take years anyway . Instead of additional AoA sensors ( all of which tend to fail at the same time in icing conditions ) , they cound add an algorithm & inputs to *derive* the aircraft AoA from other data ( airspeed , " g " loading , aircraft configuration & mass ) , and check that it matched the AoA sensor value . MCAS . Did it drive the trim , or just load the column ? I was under the impression it moved the stabilizer trim ; but reading other stuff , it seems it was altering @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ have the effect of loading the column anyway , but I 'd like to know the full/real story . During my years in IT have have been asked a similar question in interviews - namely how do you convince an organisation to do the right thing in IT projects . My stock answer is that I collect bad news stories and relate them to the all too eager for shortcuts project managers . If the story has a financial element , then all the better . Thank you Boeing for adding to my collection . One thing that really stands out to me is how insulting the internal emails are in general . I 've worked for several large international corporations , and I 've never seen junior or senior staff insulting customers in email . At most people might note a ' challenge ' , or list a customer rep as being " not as helpful as I 'd have hoped " , but using ' friggin ... ' , ' their own stupidity ' and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ have the sender severely bounced by his/her boss . You have to wonder what sort of corporate culture Boeing fosters . " ' friggin ... ' , ' their own stupidity ' and ' Idiots ' about customers in an internal email would have the sender severely bounced by his/her boss . You have to wonder what sort of corporate culture Boeing fosters . " Not only that , but the incident killed 100+ people . Lives were wasted FFS ! How can Boeing staff be so casual about the matter ? Surely the pilots were not suicidal and had a huge issue that need to be addressed in other ways than calling them names . And Trump is now telling Boeing to get it sorted out quickly . From everything we are hearing , this is exactly what caused the problem in the first place . I am sure they he will find another raft of tariffs to level against Airbus to attempt to level the playing field . The entire debacle is about @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ delivering a working product . This is just how big business in the west and particularly the US now works . Politicians and Management ae incapable of looking beyond next week yet alone a year ahead . The result of all this short term shareholder/politicians gain is exactly this . It has been inevitable that it would occur and the resulting coverups by all involved is symptomatic of the culture . The fact it took two crashes before anyone acted shows how deep the problem is . It may have been a bit quicker if is was a US carrier , but probably not much . There was too much at stake . As an aside I am not so sure Trump would have been stating that anyone can make a mistake in the 737 incident in Iran if there had been US citizens on board . It is a similar issue , non-US carrier , therefore it is not the fault of a US company . Not surprised . Friend of mine works in a dying biz ... brick and mortar travel agency . Mostly @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ this newfangled interweb thing . She says customers have started inquiring what planes the trip is using . And once a Boeing is mentioned , even a reputable model like the 777 they start asking for different flight routes or abandon the destination for something different . One airline ordered a number of 737 MAXes in the middle of last year , after the Ethiopian Airlines crash and the grounding of all MAXes worldwide -- the negotiations for the order had been going on for some time . The first completed airframe of that order would n't , under normal circumstances , get to the customer until 2023 or thereabouts , the rest of the order would be spread over a number of years following . I recall hearing that Boeing has/had over four thousand 737 MAX orders in its books with scheduled deliveries reaching into the 2030s . Classifying it as a new type might mean every part has to meet 2020 rules and regulations . It 's really a problem with all the certifications , FCC and FDA aswell @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ only way is to work around them . So the response to this is to make the rules more strict . I have had it happen with old university buildings . We could n't add a fire alarm because it would trigger a new fire plan , which would mean new fire exits , disabled access , improved insulation standards etc etc . Adding a small amount of safety to an old high fire building is impossible because of all the new safety rules . Boeing installed a new larger version of corporate greed , which could cause instability , so to avoid having to have the company decertified and re-opened under a new name , they tried to fix it with a work-around of lies . However , this failed to fix the instability , and the company is now in a nose-dive . Seems to fit . Some years ago , Boeing laid off a pile of engineers . Prior to the 787MAX . I was wondering what work they were doing that would no longer get @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ I know . Doc Wallstreet and his/her MBA buddies ordered a corporate pre-frontal lobotomy to save the bottom line , it is just so expensive supporting brains , who needs them ? Clearly not Wallstreet or MBA bottom fishers . Just want to remind everyone that Boeing is n't the only one in trouble : FAA For political reasons , the FAA was " caught sleeping on the job " . And after the 2nd MAX crash the FAA was " seen " to be looking at Boeing for " guidance " -- like a child being reprimanded by a teacher , in front of the father , while the child is waiting and hoping for the father to defend his child . It took China 's aviation regulators to push the FAA to issue a grounding of all MAX . By this time , the USA was the last country to have MAX flying in it 's airspace . If you think that was bad , the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that Boeing staff were seconded to the FAA in order to " help " certify Boeing 's kit . And that , ladies and gentlemen , is it . The fat lady has sung . FAA 's reputation is no longer in tatters -- it is ripped , torn , shredded and burnt to ash . The MAX is still grounded because none of the aviation regulators from other countries trust the FAA . Everyone is poring into every detail of the MAX and verifying . It takes two to tango : Boeing 's difficulties is not all due to Boeing 's f*ck-ups . FAA and Boeing -- a secret marriage that was bound to go down in flames . Too expensive & on the cusp of retirement perhaps , but not plagued with the problems of the later models . Four engines is the dead giveaway . Nobody wants to fly four engines any more , they 're so 2010 's @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ https : **39;2253;TOOLONG ... The article pins the ultimate blame on corporate culture , how the cult of maximizing share holder value ( and executive compensation ) takes priority over engineering decisions that might be better for the company . Boeing is in a unique position because when it has product failures they 're spectacular ( unfortunately ) and because of the very long lead time involved in product development . This means that decisions taken about product development 10 or even 20 years ago can be crucial to the survival of the company . This is n't just a boardroom failure , its now baked into our culture . If you take Elon Musk 's ventures you find that they 're controversial -- its all focus on personality and the only thing that matters about a company like Tesla is its share price in the media . Every negative , every glitch is seen as a bellweather for stock price movement . Every one of Musk 's idosyncracies , no matter how trivial , is seied on as tabloid headline material . He 's got to fail because @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ make their pile . Creating technology ? Does n't matter -- as far as we 're concerned the less we have to do with the actual business of manufacturing , the hard work of researching method , testing and trial , failing but working towards success is just a drag on profits . Those of us who 've worked in engineering are all too familiary with the prototype culture -- everything has to be done too quickly and too cheaply to satisfy the financial engineers . Its a hard road for anyone who tries to push back against this mindset . One other quirk of corporate culture is worth mentioning here . Before the MAX disasters my news feed was continally being pumped with stories about how Boeing was creaming Airbus -- the 380 was a failure , the 320 was n't good enough and so on . This all stopped overnight . Reading these stories gave me the impression of a well honed communications department running on overdrive .

The sentence 'Take a leaf out of King Canute's book...' does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction. It lacks a VP2[-ing] predicate and does not exhibit either a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it appears to be an idiomatic expression or a metaphorical use of language unrelated to the construction in question.

A future of insecure , sporadic and poorly-paid employment for the many . A return to feudalism and kissing rich people 's feet for one 's daily bread .

Big hand to Gordon for selling all the UKs gold at the bottom of the market instead of buying but then he has convinced himself that he had eliminated the boom/bust cycle . Did n't learn form King Canoute . The market and country and the world is rift with this kind of wrong headed thinking , what Kahneman called thinking fast . It will all end in tears , because that is what always happens . Interestingly , and surprisingly to me , during the UK general election @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ n't trust Labour on the economy ( citing the Blair/Brown years and not saving for the rainy days ) and agreeing that the country needs to tighten its belt , this is one reason Labour lost , although the seem fixated on blaming Brexit or Corbyn , not both , they ca n't even agree on the cause for the worst election lost since before Thatcher . What chance they will win next time ? Maybe Labour should be hoping for a global economic meltdown that they can blame on the Tories , after all the Tories are responsible for every bust right ... ? Seems more like wishful thinking ( that along with hindsight are the two major components of ' technical ' analysis ) DJIA could fall about 2000 points and still be in what 's considered a very strong uptrend . There 's a far simpler way one could have benefited from the uptrend in equities that 's been in place since late December 2018 . Do you know what it is ? ( It would also have allowed you @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ long-term uptrend trend too . ) If we look at the Dax it is a different picture in that this index has put in a new ATH recently . IF that new ATH was the top then it is a double top , this is a credible trend change signal , if confirmed by a sharp fall away . If we look at the weekly chart there is a strong narrowing channel with a potential 1-5 form to the rally . If the deep bearish retrace is a Pennant then the rally end is around where price has already turned and with strong NMD on the weekly . On the 1H chart there is what could be an ending channel to the ATH that was broken and then retested . That retest failed , producing a 1-2 bearish wave after which price fell away . There have been several buy the dip spasms that have all failed to ignite so far . The bear move has not been the spectacular drop and spike on a buy the dip recovery that we have got used to but I do expect @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ off next week . If we then see an A-B-C form relief rally and turn at resistance a much bigger bearish move in a wave 3 or C can be anticipated . Quite a way to go yet before we can start calling the top and hear the Greta Bear roar and curiously , if I look at the US large caps I think we may even see another fresh ATH before the end ( see the SP500 charts below ) .

The sentence 'Take a leaf out of King Canute's book...' does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction.

Interestingly , and surprisingly to me , during the UK general election @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ n't trust Labour on the economy ( citing the Blair/Brown years and not saving for the rainy days ) and agreeing that the country needs to tighten its belt , this is one reason Labour lost , although the seem fixated on blaming Brexit or Corbyn , not both , they ca n't even agree on the cause for the worst election lost since before Thatcher . What chance they will win next time ? Maybe Labour should be hoping for a global economic meltdown that they can blame on the Tories , after all the Tories are responsible for every bust right ... ? Seems more like wishful thinking ( that along with hindsight are the two major components of ' technical ' analysis ) DJIA could fall about 2000 points and still be in what 's considered a very strong uptrend . There 's a far simpler way one could have benefited from the uptrend in equities that 's been in place since late December 2018 . Do you know what it is ? ( It would also have allowed you @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ long-term uptrend trend too . ) If we look at the Dax it is a different picture in that this index has put in a new ATH recently . IF that new ATH was the top then it is a double top , this is a credible trend change signal , if confirmed by a sharp fall away . If we look at the weekly chart there is a strong narrowing channel with a potential 1-5 form to the rally . If the deep bearish retrace is a Pennant then the rally end is around where price has already turned and with strong NMD on the weekly . On the 1H chart there is what could be an ending channel to the ATH that was broken and then retested . That retest failed , producing a 1-2 bearish wave after which price fell away . There have been several buy the dip spasms that have all failed to ignite so far . The bear move has not been the spectacular drop and spike on a buy the dip recovery that we have got used to but I do expect @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ off next week . If we then see an A-B-C form relief rally and turn at resistance a much bigger bearish move in a wave 3 or C can be anticipated . Quite a way to go yet before we can start calling the top and hear the Greta Bear roar and curiously , if I look at the US large caps I think we may even see another fresh ATH before the end ( see the SP500 charts below ) .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'locking Johnson out of Downing Street' involves 'out of' followed by a noun phrase ('Downing Street'), not a VP[-ing] predicate. Additionally, it does not convey a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation as required by the construction.

I had a friend who lied about his age twice when he was fourteen . He went to see Life of Brian and travelled to the cinema by bus , and he told the bus driver he was a year younger than he was so that he could pay half fare , and the he told the cinema cashier he was a year older than he was so that he could get intro a AA ( equivalent of a 15 ) certificate film . A figure from history who really was " not the Messiah -- but a very naughty boy ! " was Simon bar Kochba . During the revolt , the Jewish sage Rabbi Akiva regarded Simon as the Jewish messiah , and gave him the surname " Bar Kokhba " meaning " Son of the Star " in Aramaic , from the Star Prophecy verse from Numbers 24:17 : " There shall come a star out of Jacob " . I was attacked whilst not recovering very well in a Harrogate convalescent hospital in 1969 , when trying to get to sleep one evening , by the first-night episode of a television @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ward nurse informed me , a little apologetically , that it was a brand new series and the walking-wounded patients gathered round the TV set had rather hoped to be able to see it - if that was okay with me ? Well , for having asked for the TV to be switched off , an instant guilt trip followed , of course . But , when you 're 14 years old , the high-pitched whining of a tube-based television set can be heard as loud as anything , even though the sound volume level might be turned down almost to zero - and I think this must be how the old television-detector vans used to operate , with a little help from BT . Then I was back home , with the roles reversed , trying to keep the volume level down for late-night transmissions of the Monty Python programme whilst my parents in the bedroom above had no idea I was watching it . Good job , too , or I 'd have been banned from viewing . The simplicity and obviousness of the words and visuals @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in the street . . . " - cue motor vehicle at high speed - left me laughing so much it hurt , but not so loudly that my parents could hear . At university we aped Monty Python sketches and one summer holiday , in a search for a better film projection system for the student film society , I went to visit a friend at the University of East Anglia . In Norwich we went to the cinema to see a new film just opened , called Monty Python and the Holy Grail , which was instantly , consistently hilarious , but where I was conned into persuading my friend to sit through the black screen and music at the end , in the lost cause of our being treated to one final encore - which , of course , we , ultimately , were n't . Was that your idea Terry . . . ? ! Finally , I took the plunge , and purchased what might have been a pile of old junk for a few hundred pounds in 1976 and , from the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of my life on the journey back home from the Roundhouse at Chalk Farm , London , to the University of Warwick . The operation was so secret that we had to hide the dismantled 35mm film-projection system in a cupboard room adjacent to the permanent secretary 's office in the students ' union . The elected student secretary of the students ' union in those days was my good friend from maths lectures days , Bob Kerslake - now sitting in the House of Lords . Well , permission for installation was obtained from the university senate - indeed , Jack Butterworth ( ultimately another ' Lord ' , too ) , the vice chancellor , himself . I had met him earlier at a private film party function and heard directly from ' the horse 's mouth ' the story of the workers ' -red TOIL sculpture , given it had originally been artist's-virgin-white . And so the gear could finally come out of hiding . It needed fettling and much restoration work , which I managed with great assistance from a university technician in the audio @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ graduated - some ' holiday ' . Ultimately , the cinema kit was there in place , fully operational , to do the business after John Goldstone 's office telephoned the students ' union in 1979 and asked if he could show a film about Brian to the students in June . Andre Jacquemin 's recording of the student audience reaction to the first public screening in the world of the completed Life of Brian at the Film Society , University of Warwick , worked a treat , but ended up vanishing without a trace , including the master tape which was sent off to a , yet , undisclosed destination . . . Finally , circa 2012 , unexpectedly I met Terry Jones at the Cinema Museum in Kennington , London - in the upstairs chapel of the master 's house of the workhouse where Charlie Chaplin was briefly incarcerated with his mother and brother , before getting ' a proper job ' . I wondered if he 'd like to do a turn there ? Well , Terry said to me , " Would Mr Creosote @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ word is true . R.I.P . Terry Jones - a great creative energy for the better - from his new vantage point within-without , where he can see the sense of it all : " It took God six days to create the Heavens and the Earth . . . and Monty Python 90 minutes to screw it up . " No doubt with Graham Chapman at his right side , wisely nodding , " I told you so ! " There was a similar thing on American TV called You Are There , and Chris Searle did a series called That Was the Year which looked at Columbus discovering America in 1492 , Lady Jane Gray 's nine day reign in 1553 , the Gunpowder plot in 1603 , the star of the English Civil War in 1642 , the Great Fire of London in 1666 , the Battle of Culloden in 1745 , the execution of Louis VI in 1793 , the Great Exhibition of 1851 . Another one of my heroes gone . I owe such a lot to Terry Jones in all my @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ his commitment to medieval revisionism . My version of the Knight 's Tale was inspired by his book on the subject and my many treatments of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight owe an obvious debt to MP and the Holy Grail . Monty Python was a huge formative influence for my generation and such a force for good . Jones was a genius as an actor , scriptwriter , director and scholar - RIP . TJ was a natural clown imbued with funny bones , often articulated through his strangulated female voice recalling a time when women did speak in a bizarre kind of sing song register , but he was also a terrific technician , I think . An architect of the Python style as much as one of its humorists and it was what made him a strong director . The Circus sketches were never far off outright zaniness , surreal almost , but it was vital that they were delivered with the straightest of bats . Comedy , as they say , is deadly serious and Life of Brian works so well because of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ at the wrong manger , for example . Well why not ? Providing the film with its very first zinger ... I do n't know - for me , in many ways , Monty Python was a televisual extension of the Goons , the same sort of left-field humour with a small number of people playing all the roles . My father loved the Goons , as I did , and I expect he would have loved Python too , but he 'd died a year or two before . He was born during WW1 , though , so in no way a member of the Python generation . I 've never been quite sure what my mother found funny , though . Certainly not child-rearing . He had such a startlingly varied body of work - including laying the foundations of Labyrinth , which sadly went in a different direction to his original vision . Part of my morning has been spent reading one of the original iterations of his script - here it is . And those big brown eyes were just beautiful . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ going to be largely remembered for his grotesque characters - hopefully he would have appreciated that ! Very sad news . When Brian was released , it was banned in Wirral , so my recently departed Dad , who was a big Python fan , took me over to Liverpool to watch it . I was 13 , so was just underage . Think I slightly embarrassed him by laughing like an idiot .. thanks for the laughs Terry . His book on Chaucer 's Knight was a real eye-opener . Far from being a " parfit gentil knight " , a paragon of chivalry , Terry Jones argued that this was a sly satire which suggested that our hero was an out and out mercenary , present at some of the worst military atrocities of the age . Erudite research and yet entirely in the spirit of Python 's anarchical overturning of shibboleths . What people forget is the amount of controversy that surrounded Life of Brian when it was released . Jones was brilliant and continually witty in dealing with the relentless bullying from the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , and must have taken its toll . RIP Terry " If you could see your way to lending me sixpence . I could at least buy a newspaper . That 's not much to ask anyone . " Was looking for a reason to get drunk last night ... found it .... Changed the notification sound on my phone back to " Wuhh ha ha ha ha ha ... oh ... I wet ' em " A small point , perhaps , but " vomiting and eating alternately " is precisely what he does - first he misses the bucket , then he fills it and needs a new one , then he vomits on the cleaning lady who is trying to clean up after him , and so on . The " waffer-theen " mint is the straw that breaks the camel 's back ( or " bursts the glutton 's sternum " , perchance ) and his stomach explodes . I loved " Ripping Yarns " one of the best things he and Michael Palin ever did . I also thought " Barbarians " @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ learned history was written by the winners and there were always two sides to everything you thought you knew . Feels like an old family friend has gone . : ( He was never the most eye-popping of the cast , but his brilliance shone through everything he did and his work behind the curtain was as amazing a contribution as anything before it .

I had no idea of his manifold talents - he always seemed to be overshadowed ( sic ! ) by Cleese et al but I shall now make a point of catching up on his other works , esp The Barbarians.It was heart breaking to see his rapid deterioration , not least because of the effect it had on his colleagues.Another worthwhile person gone - when one considers the many , many people without whom the world would be so much better it is yet further proof of the Meaning of Life.Existence is a random , uncaring trip so enjoy . |

The sentence does not follow the structural pattern NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate. Instead, it uses 'came out of' which is an intransitive verb followed by a noun phrase, not a VP[-ing] predicate. Additionally, it does not induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation.

" The second , which he 'd already decided would be called ' Circles ' , would be song-based . And I believe the third one would have been just a pure hip-hop record . I think he wanted to tell people , ' I still love this , I still do this . ' " In a four-star review of Circles , NME wrote : " Overall , ' Circles ' is a very conflicting listen @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Mac way too soon , and that 's hard to accept . " So while it 's hard to listen to him talking about self-deterioration and how he spends far too much time in his own head , it 's a privilege to hear him share his inner most thoughts over a bed of sweeping , inventive sonics . This is the album Mac Miller was born to make . " |

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction. It involves a transitive verb 'gets' with an NP object 'so much', but it does not induce either a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. The phrase 'out of seeing businesses grow and flourish' does not involve a causee participating in the event described by a VP2[-ing] predicate.

NatWest has been at the forefront of championing start ups and the rising stars of the tech and digital sector for years . The bank runs a programme called Entrepreneur Accelerator which offers new and growing companies the chance to work at one of its nine regional hubs where they can receive mentoring as well as access to networking and industry experts . Here , we catch up with one of its recent graduates Yiannis Maos who co-founded Birmingham tech firm Hyve with his business partner Amon Kiplagat . The pair spent 12 months at NatWest 's Birmingham hub in Brindleyplace before moving out last summer . Yiannis , who studied media production at Coventry University , is also the founder of the inaugural Birmingham Tech Week which took place in October and returns later this year for a second outing . We help organisations turn their happy customers into advocates who go on to help with word-of-mouth referral marketing and drive revenue , acting almost as evangelists and ambassadors . We are a hybrid company , bringing together a combination of brand @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that helps facilitate all of that advocacy management . You could refer to it as a form of influencer marketing but we 're very much about real customers telling real stories . We do n't work with influencers - for us , it 's all about trust and authenticity . NatWest is hosting a series of free workshops aimed at would-be entrepreneurs and business owners from Coventry and Warwickshire to support them in starting and scaling their ventures . The 90-minute workshops will be held at NatWest 's branch at 24 Broadgate , Coventry , on January 29 , February 12 , February 26 and March 11 . Additional workshops on other business growth topics are planned for the near future . For more information and to register your attendance , visit the event website here . We came across it researching the Birmingham entrepreneurial landscape and thought it was a good opportunity for us to have mentoring and coaching to help us get to the next level . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ idea and plan but they were also keen to learn more about us as people too . The business we do now was very new and the first time we had done something like this so it was quite daunting but NatWest really bought into me and Amon . It was very much about helping us develop the structure around the business and giving us a sounding board when it came to the ideas and strategy we wanted to have . The other thing is what NatWest referred to as ' the growth mindset ' - making sure we were focused on what was needed when growing your own business such as resilience , time management and the ability to take an idea and quickly validate it within the market . They gave us all of those skills as part of the 12 months we were there . Accountability is another key factor , making sure we were doing what we said we were going to do . There were times @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ bad idea ' . Ideas are very easy to come by but it 's actually making sure that idea has traction and executed upon in the right way which is important . We had formal coaching sessions once a month and there were events where experts came in to give more insight from their particular discipline while the coaches were there to help with the growth mindset . The workshops provided a structure and clarity while the programme opened up a raft of new opportunities such as the Coutts Fintech event that was held . The bit that was missing from other accelerator programmes that NatWest was able to give us was the opportunity to be put in front of large corporates . I 've even become a mentor myself now which has been a great way to share my experiences and support other entrepreneurs . The part @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ aspect . Having those other entrepreneurs around you , with whom you can bounce ideas off and share your good wins but also your bad moments , was really important . We won two contracts from other companies which were taking part in the Entrepreneur Accelerator which is testament to what the programme can do for a business . NatWest gets so much out of seeing businesses grow and flourish . It positions itself as an entrepreneurial bank and it is true to its word . We want to grow quite rapidly , to hire a big team and have city centre offices and eventually bases globally . The market that we operate in is growing at one of the fastest rates of all sectors and industries in the software sector . A company that is in a similar market recently sold for $8 billion which puts into context the amount of growth we can expect .

The sentence follows the structural pattern NP subject (Kylie Jenner) + V1 (talked) + NP object (them) + out of VP2[-ing] predicate (choosing Ye as their son's moniker). It also fits the prevention interpretation, where Kylie Jenner prevented them from choosing Ye as their son's moniker. The verb 'talked' fits into the category of means by verbal persuasion (d). The NP object 'them' functions as a causee, and the sentence allows for a clear prevention interpretation, making it an instance of the transitive out of -ing construction.

Liz Crosfield , 56 , started volunteering in January 2019 . Originally from London , Liz moved to Seaton in January to be closer to family after her parents died . Both her mother and father died within a short space of time ; her father had been unwell and her mother had struggled with melanomas but it still came as a shock . It was an extremely traumatic time for Liz and she found it very difficult . She completely withdrew into herself ; she did n't want to leave the house or see anyone and was prescribed anti-depressants . After moving to Seaton , Liz felt she was ready to get out and do something . She wanted to contribute to the community and give something back , but she also wanted to do something positive for herself . " I went for a walk through Seaton and saw the Hospiscare shop . My parents did n't get into their local hospice but we really wish they had . It 's a cause very close to my heart .

Everyone is so supportive and it has given me a lot more confidence . Volunteering at the shop has led to me doing other things for Hospiscare as well . I walked 5 miles at the Twilight Walk with one of the other volunteers from the shop and raised over ? 220 for Hospiscare . " I have donated some of Mum 's craft supplies to other volunteers who make items to raise money for charity . It 's so nice to know that these are being used to create something else and raise money for charity . " Volunteering has given me a huge amount of confidence .

" It 's nice to feel like I 'm trusted to help with the window displays and work on the till . " Volunteering has completely changed my life and outlook . I 'm in a much better place because of it . I 'm completely unrecognisable from where I was just a year ago . " To anyone that wants to try volunteering I 'd say just give it a go ! When I started , I had no idea what to expect .

Scientists studying minerals in the Yarrabubba crater in Western Australia have confirmed the giant pit was formed when an asteroid struck Earth 2.229 billion years ago , making it the oldest impact site yet found on our planet . " Yarrabubba , which sits between Sandstone and Meekatharra in central WA , had been recognised as an ... Piecing together the evidence is important as it helps scientists understand how impact events like the one in Yarrabubba might have affected the atmosphere , oceans , and life on Earth , and what effect future strikes may have . It 's about time that humanity ought to have some kind of plan for when an astroid like this is heading towards earth ; if we wait long enough it will certainly happen ... We do n't even have a plan for how to stop mankinds slow destruction of the planet , something that we do have influence over . In fact , we ca n't even all agree that we are destroying the planet . I do n't think there is much chance of us all agreeing how to protect us from a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ some bonkers theory that we were all created out of thin air in 7 days , 5000 years ago , and that this crater has to be fake news as nothing can be that old . Like happened as a result of those pesky blue-green bacteria who at the time were busy using this new fangled photosynthesis thing with the side effect of burping out toxic oxygen . Pretty well every other sort of life ( bacteria and archaea ) were anaerobes . It is thought that the mitochondria in our cells and in every other non Prokaryote ( bacteria and archaea ) to make the first Eukaryotic cell happened when a large , nucleated bacterium ( probably an archaea ) tried to engulf and eat some small bacteria who could do oxygen chemistry and failed to digest them . Even now pretty much ALL of the oxygen chemistry in our cells is done safely inside the double membrane of the mitochondria and the rest of the cell is still anaerobic . Those blue-green bacteria ? still around of course but an early Eukaryotic cell ( @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to digest them ' thing with those and became plants . After all lying around in the sunlight letting the lodgers make your food sure beats trying to eat things for a living . Not that there are n't freeloading parasitic plants going one better of course . There 's a layer of , essentially rust in the really old rocks . Oxygen levels could n't rise appreciably in the atmosphere or oceans because all the reduced metals , especially iron had to be saturated with oxygen ( rusted ) and stop being oxygen sponges . The early Earth had a reducing atmosphere . It was very different from now . It 's thought the oxygen contributed to the global cooling and snowball earth . Life : futzing with planetary chemistry for billions of years . It seems hominids have been causing global warming and extinctions for a couple of million years . H. erectus made fires for a start and our distant ancestors might have kicked predators like sabre toothed cats off their kills causing their extinction . Even today lions have to put up with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . I do n't think there is much chance of us all agreeing how to protect us from a galactic impact . No doubt someone will come up with some bonkers theory that we were all created out of thin air in 7 days , 5000 years ago , and that this crater has to be fake news as nothing can be that old . More like 10 million years old . It was fabricated by some colleague of Slartibartfast . Currently the plan with highest probability of success , is to put your head between your knees and kiss your arse goodbye ! Fortunately , over the last couple of billion years a lot of the rubble whizzing around the solar system has either been swept up by the planets or captured into stable orbits that hopefully wo n't intercept ours . Piecing together the evidence is important as it helps scientists understand how impact events like the one in Yarrabubba might have affected the atmosphere @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ effect future strikes may have . I do n't thing the future long term effects on the atmosphere , ocean and life on Earth will be of much importance to scientists , or anyone else , if the planet gets hit by an asteroid carrying enough energy to punch a 70-kilometre diameter hole in it . After civilisation and agriculture have immediately collapsed , almost all of humanity will be dead within a year . The few scattered long term survivors eking out a stone age subsistence existence will have neither access to the research nor the resources to make use of it . Better to prevent the strike in the first place . " The few scattered long term survivors eking out a stone age subsistence existence will have neither access to the research nor the resources to make use of it . " Stone age ? Hardly . Steam age . *IF* Chez Jake should survive ( I 'm not holding my breath ) we can probably survive long-term , assuming the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . But I 'm not losing sleep over the concept , either . The math(s) says I 'm more likely to win the lottery than I am to die in an asteroid strike . And I do n't even play the lottery ... it 's that math(s) thing again . It 's about time that humanity ought to have some kind of plan for when an astroid like this is heading towards earth ; if we wait long enough it will certainly happen ... Plan . 1 ; spot anything in an orbit that is likely to impact earth . NASA already do this ( https : **37;1529;TOOLONG ... Plan 2 , when we discover that something is going to hit the earth then we have about a hundred years to figure out a solution then start doing something about it . The most obvious solution to be frank is to either shine a laser at it which could slowly push it off course , or toss a very large contact fused nuke at an intersecting orbit if people are inpatient and want to see a big @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the asteroid to it 's constituent atoms it would act as an Orion drive and push the asteroid off course somewhat . In astronomical terms space is very big , and the earth is very small so a tiny course change far enough out would generate a miss , and give humanity another few centuries or millennia to deal with the problem . Thrusters ( Ion drive type stuff , not rockets ) or ablative methods like lasers/solar reflectors/surface reactors are the only methods we have that will stand a chance of working on a large object . The rocket fuel to payload equation is a really harsh mistress , and lifting enough fuel to push something that is large and fast moving with rockets is just not feasible unfortunately . Lasers could deliver energy to the target without using fuel to get there , though it would take a bunch of very powerful lasers to do the job . Concentrating solar light would take a huge set of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ sun runs 24/7 . The one nuclear option would involve sending what is in essence a reactor not a bomb , and would have to heat the target and essentially use it 's mass as fuel to be efficient enough to be worth sending . Bombs are too hard to place in a way that most of their energy is n't wasted , and ensure the object does not break up in a way that makes things worse . Of course , some would say if we are all gon na die we might as well put on a big fireworks show . Interesting bit of research , and I guess ironic that it might have helped create conditions to support life . But a repeat would likely have the opposite effect , and stopping a rock that large would be non-trivial . " it might have helped create conditions to support life " - err ... the oldest evidence of life is from 3.5 billion years ago . Life had @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that pebble hit . Another one is n't going to sterilize the planet either ( bacteria are *tough* ) . Right there , of course . 2.229 billion years of erosion will tend to mask the most stubborn of asteroid induced blemishes . You 'll have to go on-site and dig . Or bounce miscellaneous bits of electromagnetism off it from enough height , ranging from millimeters to thousands of kilometers , with the proper detectors to read the reflected signal . Yeah , the picture in the post points to something that is very misleading geologically speaking . Also keep in mind that 2.2 billion years is a preposterously long span of time . All of the Earths landmasses have slid all over the place in the mean time , ripping apart , crashing back into each other , and ripping apart again . Those processes happen on scales of millions of years , and that time period was in the period of breakup between two supercontinents . Mars @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to sustain a proper atmosphere . I ca n't remember the exact equations ( it has been a number of years since I did any proper astrophysics ) , but you can calculate the rate of atmosphere loss by working out the escape velocity , working out the boltzmann distribution for the speed of molecules in the atmosphere , and seeing what percentage of those is above the escape velocity . Because Mars is smaller than Earth , the escape velocity is higher . It 's only because it is also colder , that it has any atmosphere at all , and the fact that it 's mostly CO2 , the moelcules of which are heavier ( and thus slower moving ) than the N2 and O2 that makes up most of our atmosphere . Incidentally , this is why helium is a rare and valuable resource on Earth , despite being the second most abundant element in the universe , and why we should n't be wasting it on party balloons - with an atomic mass of 4 , the average speed of a helium atom in the atmosphere @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ " boils " off the top of the atmosphere into space . ( The same applies to hydrogen , but H2 is pretty reactive stuff , so it does n't tend to stay in the atmosphere for long enough for any appreciable amount ot be lost to space . To add - the equations concerned , IIRC , involve taking into account the thickness of the atmosphere , mean-free-path for gas molecules , and surface area of the top of the atmosphere , which kind-of ignores the fact that the atmosphere of a planet does n't really have a " top " , and probably is n't spherical , due to rotation , but then you 're getting into the territory of the old physicist jokes about spherical cows in a vacuum ... Mars ' biggest problem is that it is n't large enough to sustain a proper atmosphere It 's worse than that - the core of Mars is either cold or not big enough to produce a decent magnetic field to protect against @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ even if you somehow increased Mars ' mass , you 'd still lose the atmosphere .. Actually , there is some daylight here , as part of the complex of atmospheric loss is that the upper atmosphere is being stripped off by solar wind due the aforementioned lack of an earth like magnetic field . If it had a stronger field the losses become manageable to some extent . Creating a field is actually MORE feasible than the effort to establish a proper atmosphere . It 's also a terrible plan , as there is no justifiable reason to create an atmosphere on mars . We can inhabit it the way it is , living on the inside , and on the surface in sealed structures . Plenty of building materials available there . The surface should be for photovoltaics and greenhouses . We should save whats left of Mars 's water and atmosphere for use inside , not waste it outside . Because the next closest source of atmosphere is Venus ... Mars @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ terms but slow in human terms . If we have the ability to give it a decent atmosphere , we should also have the ability to top it up every 100,000 years or so . Top it off with what ? and from where ? Yes , the losses are a long term problem , just like terraforming would be a long term project . A multi-generational undertaking is not something we should do while based on short term thinking . That 's how we got in our present mess in the first place . The solutions we choose should be sustainable going forward and not create a huge problem for someone else to deal with . Something else that contributes to the loss of atmosphere on Mars is Phobos as it is scraping the upper reaches of atmosphere . To really terraform Mars , the mass should be increased by a lot and Phobos should be removed , two problems with a common ( partial ) solution : crash Phobos into Mars ( preferably @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ comets and small asteroids . After that , strengthening the Martian magnetic field is another problem , but solar wind is n't as much of a problem on Mars as it is on Earth . With roughly double the distance from the sun , it is roughly a quarter as strong . Incidentally , this is why helium is a rare and valuable resource on Earth , despite being the second most abundant element in the universe , and why we should n't be wasting it on party balloons Helium is obtained from natural gas extraction ; sticking it in party balloons might be " wasteful " in a strict sense , but pretty much the only other option is to just vent it , which is wasteful by anyone 's definition . And even when we do run out of dead dinos , helium 's a natural product of radioactive decay ; pass alpha particles through a long enough pipeline to eliminate beta and gamma radiation and you 've got a perfectly serviceable production line . Also @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that going at scale . Still , it 's dumb to waste what we have easy access to now , instead of storing it . BTW our current helium crunch was engineered . They changed the protocols to stop replenishing the US helium storage ( Pumping it under an old geologic formation in Texas through old gas wells I believe ) because it was getting too cheap on the open market . That was years ago . The prices came up , but the replenishment did n't . So the prices are still going up . Due to the finite supply , no readily storable helium should be vented unless the practical storage is also full . At least pump it back where it came from so someone else can extract it later . If the prices are a problem let the government restrict how fast they let out the supply , free market be dammed . Burning the forest down to make the tree in your front yard valuable is always a terrible plan . You 'd need a lot more @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ice asteroids would be required . And using something else to actually start the martian core generating a magnetic field so that the solar wind does n't blow away all the atmosphere again .. @the other Alister : Only if your nuke is big enough to dig through the surface , techtonic plates and a fair bit of the core . If we 're gon na restart Mars ' core , its gon na take a heck of a bore hole and all the nuclear waste we here on earth have generated already , and likely about another 500 years worth of FBR waste from the re-escalated arms race . And that depends on Mars actually having a nickle/iron core like Earth 's . A long time ago in a small town far away I and about 4 other engineering hopefuls got very drunk and discussed this .

And I still have all my fingers ! used AI to show that the mass extinction at the end of the Devonian was no such thing - it took 50 Million years ! I wonder if closer examination of the data for 2.229 billion years ago may need to be looked at in similar detail .

Otherwise brilliant work - its shit like this with big bangs and catastrophes that gets kids interested in hard science ! Soil , the photo is badly labelled . The only surface evidence is a small eroded hill that is the remnant of the central peak . The rest of the crater structure is eroded away . The remote infrared sensing seems to allow some estimate of size . I note Wolfe Creek crater is now only half its original estimated age , being only 120,000 years old . Some good recent small craters just off the road to Ayers Rock at Henbury well worth a visit . Apollo moonshot astronauts went there for the intersecting crater geology example .

Nothing natural caused that . Your data is wrong or has been meddled with by a denier . > After the impact , glacial deposits are absent in the rock record for 400 million years . This twist of fate suggests that the large meteorite impact may have influenced global climate . Impossible . Your data is wrong or you , or someone who works for you are climate deniers . > Numerical simulations of the impact suggest that the blast could have vaporized the water locked in the ice covering Earth to release up to 87 trillion kilograms of water vapor into the atmosphere .

Water as a greenhouse gas might be true , when its a gas , but c'm on be @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ convince the world that our man made climate change may be the only thing that will save us from returning to a harsh frozen tundra ? We all agree that climate averages out to be static ( with some slight variation due to chaos theory , butterflies etc ) . ALL change in climate is caused by man and can only be controlled by man . To save us from the firestorms that will ravage the planet in 10 years we need to turn off all power generation and manufacturing NOW . Ok use the nuclear plants and turbines while they still work but do n't dare build new ones . We need to return to small communities living in mud/reed huts . Ok , maybe wooden houses using wattle and daub ( that stuff is amazing , it even meets current british standards for fire resistance as long as its maintained ) .

I 'm AC because most people pretend to follow the leader without actually accepting that they should to do so . Its like allowing people to have normal knives in the home while watching all the kids cut each other up . The solution is to ban them and replace them with safety knives . The old knives will go blunt and become useless eventually . But because they want to slice this or chop that they cover their ears and go " lalalala " when the news comes on showing another stabbing as they know they must make the difficult decision of banning knives but wont do it because " its difficult " , " its inconvenient " .

Most non-deniers @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the situation and its solution . This is what needs to be done , we all know it . Greta herself has said that net zero wont cut it , she says it must be total zero . You cant use science to cheat a way out of this . We know the causes and we have the off switch . Any tech we try to implement to cheat this will release more CO2 , and burning emits CO2 , any manufacturing process that makes a wind turbine or solar panel emits CO2 ( plus what the hell do you do with the old broken ones ? ) so no " miracle tech " can be done till levels are much much lower , say 100ppm , then there is wiggle room to make stuff assuming we remember how to do it as it will take hundreds of years to fix this mess . We all agree that climate averages out to be static ( with some slight variation due to chaos theory , butterflies etc ) . ALL change in climate is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ I am sure this is some kind of elaborate joke , but just in case : no-one who knows anything about climate thinks that . There were , for instance , ice-ages in quite recent history about which we have really good data , and things like the snowball Earth much longer ago , about which we have much less good data . Climate is not and has never been static . It 's just that sometimes it changes fast enough to kill a lot of the life on the planet , and sometimes that rapid change is caused by the life on the planet . As an example of that the rate of change of temperature in the last deglaciation ( not caused by humans ) was about a degree in 850 years : the current rate of change ( largely caused by humans ) is about 10 times that . Snowball earth was more likely a consequence of albedo rather than lack of H2O/GHG in the atmosphere . The initial vapourised water would quickly precipitate out as snow if that was the only consequence @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ from such an impact would be the primary driver for change . After a short period of cooling due to dust clouds in the atmosphere , the reduced albedo when the dust finally settled onto the rest of the snowball earth could have driven enough melting to sustain the water cycle as we know it . So whilst the Yarrabubba impact could be linked to the ending of the ice age I do n't agree with the how . Yes . Dust . Any system that has a knock on effect could have results ( such as acidification of seas changing algae then changing carbon dioxide or methane sinks/releases ) . And dust is one that does not get the attention it needs . It can drive the difference in small amounts to massive amounts of sunlight absorption or reflection , and to add the humidity in the air ! I wonder *how* quickly it would precipitate as snow - water vapour can carry a significant amount of heat with it , and would have to cool sufficiently . It @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ long enough lasting for enough heat to be captured by the atmosphere for it to be self-sustaining . In a big-old-impact , there would undoubtedly be several effects in play at the same time , but I would n't be so quick to rule out water vapour staying in the atmosphere for a significant enough time , especially if it 's in the upper atmosphere . I do agree though , that melting kilometres-thick ice is going to take more than a couple of years , unless you 're putting a lot of energy into the system ... If you put all of the energy that arrives on Earth from the Sun into it you can melt the current Antarctic ice-sheet in about a year and a half . That 's obviously absurdly implausible . In real life it takes thousands of years : probably tens of thousands to millions to come out of something like snowball Earth . Volcanoes are a tricky one because depdning on the type of eruption , they can either @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ greenhouse gases , or they can inject a lot of dust into the upper atmosphere , which can have a cooling effect e.g. the postulated cause of the little ice age , or they can eject a large amount of tephra , which would reduce the albedo of ice from nearly 1 to nearly zero ( depending on the type of magma involved , for example the volcanoes in Iceland eject oceanic basalt , which is nearly black , whilst volcanoes on continental crust eject comparatively lighter material ) . All in all , I 'd be inclined to say the incerased volcanism would have seen a short-lived cooling effect , balanced out by the short-lived warming effect of the vapourised ice , and an additional warming effect due to both the ejecta directly onto the ice* , and the dust and ash that would spread further and settle onto the ice decreasing the albedo . *Surprisingly , volcanoes are surpisingly bad at completely melting ice . The volcanoes in Iceland that are covered by glaciers year-round tend to melt only the ice directly above the erupting vent , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ The effects this actually produces are flash flooding when the water breaks through the ice ( often tens of meters high ) and the collapse of the roof of the void created when this happens . The bulk of the glaciers still persist , however . When we 're talking about kilometres of thickness of ice , as in " snowball Earth " , many volcanoes may never have managed to erupt all the way through the ice sheet at all . When we 're talking about kilometres of thickness of ice , as in " snowball Earth " , many volcanoes may never have managed to erupt all the way through the ice sheet at all . This has always been one of the problems with Ice Ages . So it 's easy to thow out terms like albedo changes , or Milankovitch cycles .. But to get into one , you 'd need a prolonged drop in global temperatures , so a long ( in a geological sense ) reduction in energy . Which mostly comes from insolation , ie the Sun @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , but the orbit would need to change by quite a lot to reduce insolation and drop temps . Volcanic activity has been suggested , but similar problems . So recent large eruptions like resulted in observed effects like ' the year without summer ' , but volanic ejecta does n't tend to linger long in the atmosphere before it settles . Other GHGs like SO2 might have had cooling & albedo effects , either as a negative GHG , or acidification killing of a LOT of vegetation .. But which volcano ? Then there 's the reverse problem with exiting the Ice Age . So 1g of ice takes 334J to melt , so a collosal amount of energy required , especially as albedo should mean more energy reflected/re-radiated . We know dust has an effect , ie black soot & dust creating melt pools on ice sheets . But how to produce enough dust ? And as you say , a volcano melting or erupting through a large ice sheet would need a lot of force/energy . And we kind of have examples in places like @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and lubricates sheet/glacier movement . But this is all stuff that needs to be reconciled before CO2 dogma can explain past climate changes , or how it 's the ' control knob ' for all climate change . Where does the CO2 come from to exit an Ice Age given a lot of know volcanoes do n't outgass much of it ? For conventional ( ie recent ) ice ages this is all pretty well understood . In particular a conventional ice age does not involve ice covering all , or even I think most of , the planet and does not involve the oceans freezing , not even on their surfaces over much / most of their extent . So there 's plenty of life and plenty of ocean to do things to CO2 . It takes a while , of course -- the rate of change of temperature during the exit from recent glaciations would have been so low as to be imperceptible by humans without access to fancy technology and ice cores ( about a degree of increase every 8-900 years @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ glaciation is even lower ) . Snowball Earth is more interesting . To get out of a snowball Earth you need really seriously high levels of CO2 -- of the order of 10% of the atmosphere ( so hundreds of times the current level ) . So the question is how that arises and the answer is ' very slowly ' . Because the Earth is completely covered with ice , there is no rock weathering process to remove CO2 from the atmosphere . There 's also essentially no CO2 extraction by life ( there is some presumably , but very very little , since everything , including quite possibly the oceans , is frozen solid ) . But geological processes still dump CO2 ( and methane &c ) into the atmosphere . So gradually CO2 levels climb in the atmosphere , until they get high enough that ice starts melting . Exposed land surface and water as a result then has much lower albedo than ice and things then move relatively rapidly ( emphasis , probably , on ' relatively ' : it 's possible to come up @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ but there are plenty where they do n't ) . But it 's gradual : very gradual . The estimate is millions to tens of millions of years for CO2 to build up far enough . Note that inverse processes over similarly long timescales are one of the reasons why Earth is ( almost certainly ) not going to end up as Venus ( or at least not until the Sun is a lot older than it is now ) . You can , maybe , get into a situation called a ' moist greenhouse ' which is where a lot of the atmosphere becomes water vapour ( essentially , you 've boiled off large chunks of the oceans ) . But it seems likely that weathering then gradually pulls CO2 out of the atmosphere ( plant life is n't doing it because it 's almost all dead ) and things gradually come back to some kind of more sane state ( whether life survives is a different question : my guess is ' yes , but obviously we 're talking single-celled things , not people ' ) @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ water vapour to space , and it seems unlikely that would happen on Earth . Whether you can ( whether humans could , really ) plausibly kick things hard enough to get into one of these moist greenhouse states in the first place is another question : some people think you can but I think those views are generally thought to be extreme . |

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction. It lacks an NP object that functions as a causee, and it does not induce either a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it expresses a feeling (pride and satisfaction) derived from an action (delivering exceptional quality), which is not characteristic of the transitive out of -ing construction.

The world of cosmetic surgery might appear an unlikely line of business for a man who was one of the great rugby warriors , but that 's where we now find Cardiff Blues legend Xavier Rush . Following the success of his Welsh hair transplant clinic , Head Quarters ( HQ ) , the former All Black is soon to open new consulting rooms in Bristol , to make it as easy as possible for people living or working in Bristol to find out what they can do in regards to hair loss . The new consulting rooms will be homed at the Temple Quay Centre - one of Bristol 's premier office developments , located within walking distance of Bristol Temple Meads train station . The business came about as a result of Xavier , himself , having undergone hair transplant treatment , and being happy with the result . He then wanted to bring a state-of-the-art clinic to Cardiff , and later converted a beautiful Georgian building on Charles Street , Cardiff , into a new hair transplant clinic called Head Quarters . With so many enquiries from Bristol and the south @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and set up Bristol consulting rooms , so people can visit more conveniently . At a first consultation , the clinic informs patients about their options , allows them to go away , and consider their best treatment options . In Cardiff , Xavier Rush partnered with one of the leading hairtransplant surgeons who had been operating on Harley Street , Dr Ted Miln . Dr Ted is ahead of his time in terms of technology , innovation , speed and precision , but most importantly , he always puts the patient 's needs , dignity and confidentiality before anything else . Xavier said , " We start early and finish late here . We have a superb team ; we have consistency and continuity with our resident surgeon and technicians and are building a centre of excellence for hair restoration in the UK with the HQ brand . " I am confident that myself and Dr Ted will become leaders in the world of hair transplants , because of our drive to always maintain medical excellence , maximum density whilst respecting the donor area and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Dr Ted Miln , resident surgeon and partner at HQ Hair Transplants , said , " I am proud to be operating at Head Quarters Hair Transplants on Charles Street in Cardiff .

" I work closely with a world class trichologist , SMP practitioner and local dermatologist to tailor effective treatments to all manner of hair problems . If you are struggling with hair loss for whatever reason , get in touch and we can help you ! " As with everything Xavier does - whether rugby or property developing - he has completely thrown himself into the project , and his passion for it is clear to see . From Auckland , Xavier used to combine his carpentry with playing in the back row for the Auckland Marist team as a youngster , until , at 19 , he became a professional rugby player and linked up with the Auckland provincial team , soon progressing to the Blues Super 12 side . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ from rugby to property development .

" The buzz I get from property developing is transforming an unloved building into an exquisite living space . It 's about buying something , using your vision and bringing back its former glory . It 's no different to what I 'm doing here now with hair restoration . " For a lot of clinic owners , it 's about sales numbers .

Very few men enjoy the experience of going bald . I will be honest with you , it does affect your confidence . You start looking in the mirror and , looking 10 years older , you do n't have that same kind of self-belief . " I got to a point , at around about 35/36 , where I started thinking there was an option to have treatment , so why not have it ? Treatments have improved so much from 15/20 years ago . " This led Xavier to the decision to open his own clinic in Wales , which he is now bringing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Extraction ) treatment he underwent and also the full range of hair transplants available to men and women in the UK . Xavier added , " Basically what happens is they extract each bulb or graft of hair from the side and back of the head , where the hair has a different genetic structure . When the hair is replanted in the scalp and regrowth is complete , they are there for good . " When I had it done , one of my big fears was how would people perceive me , what they would think ? But these days , cosmetic surgery is becoming so commonplace , especially with women and now with men . There is no social stigma with it anymore , really . Men now use moisturisers and want to look good as well . The whole male grooming industry has grown so much . " Once I had it done , I just owned it . I took to social media to announce it and I was so pleased with the response and support from everyone .

" When you see yourself with a strong head of hair again , it 's a nice feeling . " With Head Quarters Hair Transplants , I have the same ethos as with the properties I have developed . I do n't send out bad products . I get pride and satisfaction out of delivering exceptional quality . It can be a tough thing at times because you are never content , but I always want to do better .

By Press Association 2020 The entrance to RAF Croughton in Northamptonshire The commander of a US military base has said road safety is a " top priority " following the death of teenage motorcyclist Harry Dunn . In a statement given to the PA news agency , a spokeswoman for Colonel Bridget McNamara of RAF Croughton in Northamptonshire said all staff must take a " driver safety course " and pass a written exam based on UK driving laws . Her words follow three reported incidents of US drivers on the wrong side of the road in the county . The base , which is used as a communications station for the US Air Force , has come under scrutiny following the death of Mr Dunn on August 27 last year . The 19-year-old was killed when his motorbike crashed into a car outside the base . The 42-year-old US suspect in the case , Anne Sacoolas @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ granted diplomatic immunity following the crash and was able to return to her home country , sparking an international controversy . Col McNamara has already met with Northamptonshire Police Chief Constable Nick Adderley who has said he will fund driver training for all staff at the base from March 12 . Harry Dunn was killed in a collision outside RAF Croughton on August 27 ( Family handout/PA ) In reaction to the statement from the commander , Mr Dunn 's family said it was the first time they had heard anything from the colonel for five months . The family spokesman , Radd Seiger , told PA that the base had a " blatant disregard for the safety of the community " and said their statement was " the opposite of the truth " . A spokeswoman for the commander said the base worked with police to " reinforce safety across our community " . In the statement given to PA , a spokeswoman for Col McNamara said : " Road safety is a top priority for all our US visiting forces and family @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ On Left sign near RAF Croughton ( Steve Parsons/PA ) " The US is very fortunate to enjoy a long-standing partnership with our surrounding and supporting constabularies , and work hand-in-hand with them to reinforce safety across our community . " Before driving in the UK , all US visiting forces personnel and their dependants must have a state-issued US driver 's licence , attend a driver safety course that addresses the differences of driving in the UK as well as common UK driving hazards , and then pass a written exam based upon the UK Driver Vehicles Standards Agency test . " In response to the statement from the colonel , Mr Seiger said : " This is the first time in nearly five months that we have heard anything from the base commander and she has not seen fit to visit with the family . " This is an astonishing and shocking statement and anyone who has followed the campaign knows that the opposite of what she says is the truth about their disgraceful approach to safety issues . " One only need @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ take last week to ensure the safety of road users . There is no safety partnership .

The sentence does not fit the structural pattern of the transitive out of -ing construction (NP subject + V1 + NP object + out of VP2[-ing] predicate). The phrase 'phasing out of existing products' does not involve a causee participating in an event described by a VP2[-ing] predicate, nor does it induce a movement/extraction or prevention interpretation. Instead, it describes a process of discontinuing products, which does not align with the properties of the transitive out of -ing construction.

I think a lot of people might be missing the elephant in the room . Formula 1 as a whole has a small CO2 foot print even with flying the cars around the globe . It 's the 120 - 150,000 fans flaying and driving to the tracks to watch that are causing much more pollution .... You forgot , though , that F1 is also a series that requires teams to design and manufacture their own cars . That means each team has factory facilities employing large numbers of personnel and requiring heating , lighting , comms and other power-consuming services . This must have a big impact too . If it were a spec series then this could be greatly reduced ( although there would be a lot more unemployed people ) . I 'm not saying F1 should change to spec . I 'm just pointing out that there are many things that could ( and should ) be considered . Personally , I only consider something to be truly green if it 's net carbon zero ( or negative ) @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 's not a term I 've seen used too often lately , but " greenwashing " is definitely a problem - planting trees for offsetting does n't help all that much long term if you 're going to cut them down and burn them later . That being said ... I think it 's unreasonable to expect F1 by itself to solve global problems . Also , total aviation is about 2% of global CO2 emissions and shipping is about 3% - iron and steel accounts for 5% of emissions but we do n't hear much about how evil it is compared to aviation and shipping . Meaning , even if F1 could go truly green in transport the net effect would be tiny . Here 's another thing to consider : road transport is like 15% of emissions . If F1 has helped improve global ICE efficiency by an average of just 1% then it 's likely already paid for itself . Even if we ignore the current hybrid era , it 's likely that F1 helped accelerate turbos for road cars , so a 1% average @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 'm the same . If we 're going to make gains it 's going to be upstream at the power plants . Better line efficiency , better home storage , more efficient homes , etc . That 's the big acreage . You 'd have to cut a frankly insane amount of air travel to even register . So we can have a better environment and drive badass cars AND go on overseas vacations man . F1 can help though . As a live R&D thing , as a way to demonstrate technologies to the public , or that **25;239;TOOLONG does n't mean making everything out of hemp and being a weirdo . You can still go fast as **** . But you know , Bernie was in charge so we got off to a bad start with hybrids . It was just an observation of how pointless making 20 cars eco friendly is when 1 flight to transport the cars puts out more emissions than an entire season of racing ..... I have n't looked into what aircraft models DHL ( F1 transport ) uses , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ few select aircraft ( reserved primarily for F1 use ) , if the fuel savings would more than offset the carbon emissions from the cars . It was just an observation of how pointless making 20 cars eco friendly is when 1 flight to transport the cars puts out more emissions than an entire season of racing ..... But that 's saying if you ca n't be 0% emissions you might as well be 100% . Plus the image of the sport and the cars is the primary driver . What 's the carbon footprint of millions and millions of TV viewers on power-sucking large flat screen TVs ? Irrelevant to what the car is perceived to be doing . Irrelevant next to the image that they fly around the world wastefully . But that 's saying if you ca n't be 0% emissions you might as well be 100% .

To be honest , I think when it comes to global carbon emissions , for most examples , that statement holds true ( yes , if you ca n't be 100% it 's really not worth bothering ) . If your little saving amounts to **27;266;TOOLONG of what 's required and the sum total of the efforts of everyone who 's trying amounts to 0.001% of what 's required , then no one should really bother that much .

But then if this kind of ban/individual ad policy becomes more common then a fossil fuel company becoming a renewables company is sort of mission accomplished is n't it ? you can still work around these " bans " , synthetic lubricants are a prime example for formula E.

I agree with Di Grassi and co that this kind of institutional policy choice/legal restrictions in the name of public health are quite likely to become more common and not less . The point of them completely being that ' the way around it ' is to increase visibility and expertise in sustainable products rather than fossil fuels . That 's also not a comment on how successful any of it it will be , just that it 's something we are quite likely to see more of . Also , any sort of hypothetical future widespread ban in ICE advertising specifically might be a real kicker for professional ICE motorsport . Harder to work around that one . I read the Guardian this morning , noticed an ad for a car . One that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of . People have no idea how the fossil fuel industry works , but it 's basic supply and demand . They are n't forcing it down our throats , we are begging them to use it . We are burning more oil in 2020 than we did in 2019. 2019 was higher than 2018 , etc , etc . The car ad contributes to emissions more than the oil company ad does . Nevermind that the Guardan should have pocketed those checks and donated them to green causes or funded expanded environmental coverage in their own paper . Two things that would have more impact than a newspaper ad no one is paying attention to . " ... motorsport has been reactive to this topic and not proactive . Now companies are not moving forwards towards motorsport because their guidelines say they have to be either sustainable or renewable , so they can not sponsor a sport that might be damaging to society . " " The current F1 engine is very , very efficient but it is not viable commercially due to its @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Actually , regardless of which kind of fuel used , even e-fuels , if it is burned in the cities where people live , the harmful effect on individuals ' health from those fumes and gases is still a huge society problem . " " F1 is going towards a more sustainable future , but everything it 's doing is very long-term , 10 years from now . I believe the agenda should be pushed much faster if we want motorsport to attract more young fans , investment , and government support . " " The ban will apply to any business primarily involved in extracting fossil fuels , including many of the world 's largest polluters . " Sounds like purely tokenistic renewable-ing would n't be enough to satisfy them in this case . A company showing a genuine and transformative shift to renewables might be palatable to them ? But then if this kind of ban/individual ad policy becomes more common then a fossil fuel company becoming a renewables company is sort of mission accomplished is n't it ? I was n't aware this @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of newspaper advertising policy ? That 's somewhat off topic is it not ? What 's more at hand is how motorsport might be affected by this sort of thing becoming a more common occurrence . I was n't aware this was to be a thread about the rights and wrongs of newspaper advertising policy ? That 's somewhat off topic is it not ? What 's more at hand is how motorsport might be affected by this sort of thing becoming a more common occurrence . Well the thread does n't have much legs to start with . F1 ca n't switch away from ICEs until the alternative power sources provide enough performance . There 's not really much else to add . Well no it 's a definite problem . This sort of illogical virtue signaling is going to collide head on with the realities of both engineering and business . Just to waylay us further , if some back of the napkin calculations are correct American Airlines uses 237,000-ish barrels a day of fuel . Repsol extracts 715,000 barrels of raw material . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a definite problem .

Just to waylay us further , if some back of the napkin calculations are correct American Airlines uses 237,000-ish barrels a day of fuel . Repsol extracts 715,000 barrels of raw material . But airlines are okay seemingly The latter is the shipkiller , in my opinion . It will not be about what is good for people and the planet . It will be about what is good for business . Maybe not for the existing businesses , but certainly for businesses and the economies of the developed countries , going forward . Scientist can recommend all they want , but economists will trump whatever they say . Well yeah that 's a huge problem with China right now , and looks to continue for a while . But it 's a problem for us racing fans because if this sort of attitude taken by the Guardian becomes more mainstream , being involved in petroleum racing will be toxic . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it harder . Even if you could reasonably argue you 're contributing to the solutions . The latter is the shipkiller , in my opinion . It will not be about what is good for people and the planet .

Scientist can recommend all they want , but economists will trump whatever they say . Which is why we 're so screwed unless this can magically change . And the more screwed we become the more draconian and desperate measures will become . The UK government is making a change to their proposed 2040 ban on new petrol/diesel car sales , bringing the date forward to 2035 and including hybrid/plug in hybrids as well as vans . This tallies with predictions that global targets and policy measures are likely going to become more strict and faster paced rather than the other way around as time goes on . Admittedly this is an easy , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ does n't involve doing very much and shifts the onus on car manufacturers and infrastructure providers to make plan for and make the necessary changes over the next 15 years . But that does mean that planning ahead for the relevant industry players needs to start fairly soon . But then the significant of this to the thread is that the previous UK policy did not really concern F1 in any way as hybrids were n't included in the 2040 ban . Now it has a direct impact on the sport 's technology marketing value ( based on their current aims ) and is coming into effect sooner than planned , so now has to form a more involved part of F1 's considerations for the future . One country 's planned policy is not going to change a huge amount for F1 , but if this trend is seen to extend across multiple key markets then it can not be ignored .

Petrol , diesel and hybrid car sales will be banned in the UK in 15 years from now and I think many other countries will fall in line , so I think it 's obvious that F1 will go fully electric ( or away from fuels ) way before then , perhaps 2030 or something like that . Because Renault , Honda and Merc are not going to be interested in spending $300m a year on obsolete technology and brands are n't going to want to sponsor an obsolete show . As others have said , it 's not about what 's good for the planet . It 's about what is good for business . And F1 is a business . ICEV makers have been given time to make a transition , bit different for each region . Banning them while they have such time , but allowing food companies who use refined sugars , is well , hypocritical . These companies COULD be promoting ZEVs more agressively , but they have @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ vastly lower maintenance income and phasing out of existing products at the benefit not of evolotions , but radically different products . Phasing out does take time and mouths are being fed from ICEVs . Each brand will plot its course to transition to ZEVs . Each has a different challenges to make that happen . Imagine you just completed construction of large ICE related production lines . Or entered costly research to clean up exhausts . Should a brand like Mercedes now stun its customer based with even more compelling BEVs than their EQC . Charge speed like a Tesla , still super quiet interior , classy Mercedes look ... demand would immediately outstrip their production capacity for such , for years to come . And those brand loyals will just postpone their next Merc purchase . That 's killing for a brand , they need those sales . Actual families rely on it . And there is no way to just replace your offerings overnight , even with unlimited capital . It 's a very delicate balance , this ICEV to ZEV transition . And @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ technologies appear to be about to emerge . According to BEV grand daddy Mate Rimac , over the past 10 years , energy density of Li-Ion cells has improve from 240 Wh/kg to 270 Wh/kg only . And the chemistries used are not even offering the desired thermal runaway prevention or low enough degradation under repeated high ( dis ) charge loads . Fast charging especially is an issue for longuevity of provided range . Those few people who make many mid-route fill-ups end up destroying their batteries , whatever smart Battery Management System is implemented . Corner cases , but causing public issues . Now various companies and collaborations are threatening to significantly drop cell costs and increase cycle life AND energy density . Not a pick one or two out of three . All three . If/when such a new battery emerges , it will be all about having access to it and ramping up production capacity . Difficult to grasp how much volume would be needed to cater the market . Those NOT having next level cells , will have tremendous problems selling cars . Imagine @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with today 's 260-270 Wh/kg cells and BMW , Audi , Tesla have all gotten their hands on the next thing . 400 Wh/kg , double cycle life , half the cost /kWh . Those cars would be hundreds of kilograms lighter while still offering good range , charging could be done faster , great residual value to be expected . Oh , and they 'd undercut a similar Mercedes with now vastly worse specs by ? 5-10k . How to sell those AMGs then ? You can get a similar or better Porsche for the same price now . The Audi is just mocking the Merc . Tesla drivers would somehow become even more unbearable . Mercedes nor any brand can afford to commit to Li-Ion technology as it stands today , as in 2 years time , the whole market might be building factories for something vastly different . And the whole transition problem returns . But this time , no-one is interested to buy your car anymore . BEVs are totally painless to live with , maintenance is great , costs much better than ICEV over a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ huge jungle for car makers to survive in . We have to feel for them . Especially Daimler/Mercedes as they had fine electric cars one day but the battery technology was not ready for higher road speeds . In terms of the isolated action , yes . In terms of the wider trend and implication , no . The ban will only come into force if the manufacturers are ready for it and the government has ensured that sufficient infrastructure is in place . But , I can well see there being a ban with exceptions ( the ordinary Joe will have to put up with whatever infrastructure there is , but those with influence will be allowed to buy and run the ' old ' tech ) It would n't surprise me , though , that this announcement is the UK government trying to woo manufacturers into setting up new factories in the UK . I do n't think it 's at all optimistic , and neither would 10 or 5 years . We 're talking about a total vehicle pool of passenger cars of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 2 million new cars sold each year - that would entail 17+ years before the transition is complete . Give the industry a few years ( put a tight schedule on it ) to scale up their manufacturing , and concurrently invest in renewable energy sources to add to the grid and increase the infrastructure where necessary . Meanwhile , start stimulating cleaner and denser battery technology as much as possible . As soon as you have enough viable alternatives , use ( tax or other ) policy to start discouraging fossil fuel-based transport at an increasing rate . The earth ( and a growing group of people that share the views on reducing mankind 's footprint ) is running out of patience . An interesting point of note for F1 is that the 2035 date also brings the possibility of UK sales ban on hybrids to within the 25 year exclusivity deal that the FIA struck with Formula E ( 2014-2039 ) . The previous policy only covering non-hybrid ICEs from 2040 would have allowed hybrids to be a core of automotive offerings after that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ technology a sensible avenue to persue . In the case of this kind of policy becoming more widespread that poses something of a headache which simply did not exist before . I do n't think 15 years is too optimistic . If we were talking 5-10 however ... Do n't forget , in the UK , if they want something to happen in 15 years time , chances are they will only start in 14 years time and then it 'll take 10 years to complete ( and it 'll cost 700% of the original estimate ) General Motors will back the decision to only build EVs at the Michigan facility with a $2.2 billion investment . With Tesla presently having a market capitalization worth more than U.S. makers General Motors and Ford combined , existing ( and profitable ) automakers face both investor skepticism and the expectation they will ramp up their electric-vehicle portfolios . If F1 wants to stay differentiated from the likes of FE , eg has lots of noise , then it basically needs to stay with ICEs of some kind @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ " sustainable " options : synthetic carbon based fuels or hydrogen . Synthetic carbon based fuels would at least be a drop in replacement , but I would n't count on this being viable . Lots of governments are talking about banning the sales of new cars that use carbon based fuels . Unless you can design the engine to work with synthetic fuels but not existing ones then I 'm not sure how synthetic carbon fuel powered cars could escape such bans . A hydrogen ICE is also zero emissions ( well , when tuned for it at least - when tuned for max power there can still be various emissions ) ... but is it possible to have an ICE with enough performance for F1 based on hydrogen ? |

A German man who contracted coronavirus from a Chinese work colleague is thought to be the first person in Europe to catch the disease via human transmission , health officials have said . The 33-year-old infected man has not been to China or Wuhan - the city where the strain first emerged in December - but had been in contact with a Chinese colleague at a work training session who later became unwell and tested positive for the virus . The flu-like strain has so far killed 106 and infected more than 2,800 people and is spread though coughs and sneezes via droplets . Speaking at a press conference , Bavarian State head of health and food safety , Andreas Zapf , said the co-worker was a woman from Shanghai who " started to feel sick " on a fight home on January 23 .
